The Monoi Body Glow II (2.5 oz, $76 cdn) by Nars is a
multi-purpose beauty oil that I have been lusting over for months. Recently, I was perusing the aisles of winners and a couple Nars products caught my
eye. I rarely see this brand at winners, let alone finding a bottle of Monoi Body Glow II at a price of $19.99 cdn! Costing almost a forth of the original price, I
decided to finally pick a bottle up
to see what the hype was all about.
What it does:
“Capturing Monoi de
Tahiti oil in its purest state, Monoi Body Glow II creates glowing, healthy
looking and naturally fragrant skin. Native to the South Pacific and France,
Monoi de Tahiti oil is the result of macerating the native Tahitian gardenia in
refined coconut extract for at least ten days, slowly infusing the oil with
nutrients as well as a delicate, natural fragrance. Each bottle of Nars Monoi
Body Glow II retains an original flower to capture the essence of this unique
process.”
Packaging
If you’ve been following my past posts, you’ll know how much
I adore beautiful packaging. The Nars body glow is luxe in a bottle. Made of glass, the simplicity of the packaging
with the original flower submerged is aesthetically pleasing. There is a simple
twist of lid that allows a free flow of product.
Product
I generally stray away from beauty oils as I dislike that
greasy feeling most oils leave after application. I was surprised when I first
tested the Monoi Body Glow II and noticed this oil had no residue after
applied. It created a beautiful and subtle sheen that made my skin look healthy
rather than greasy. The oil can be used as a body moisturizer or even in your
hair. The oil keeps my skin moisturized and smelling divine. The fragrance is
actually incredible and when I close my eyes, I am whisked away to a warm
summer day somewhere on a deserted beach.
Verdict
The body glow II has been helping me transition into spring.
It is getting me super pumped from the warmer days ahead and keeping my skin
looking healthy and happy. I’ve been obsessing over this oil for quite some
time now and am happy I finally have a bottle to myself. I cannot wait until my
next vacation so I can bring this pretty little bottle of heaven with me!
Repurchase?
In a heartbeat; I want to pick up a bottle of Body Glow I as
well!
Have you tried the Nars Monoi Body Glow I or II?
