Bath and Body Wash Luminous Diamond Shimmer Mist
🌟 What It Is
The Diamond Shimmer Mist is a glimmering upgrade to the original Luminous scent, available in a 4.9 fl oz (145 ml) spray. It delivers the same radiant aroma of ruby currant, gilded iris, and praline amber—but with added fine shimmer particles that leave a subtle glow on the skin
✨ Fragrance & Finish
-
Scent: Retains luminous layers of juicy ruby currant, creamy iris, and warm praline amber.
-
Shimmer: Ultra-fine “diamond” glitter (mica/calcium aluminum borosilicate) creates a subtle, radiant sheen—not chunky glitter
Users describe the shimmer as “smooth silver glitters and doesn’t feel anything on skin” while adding a flattering glow when exposed to light. It kisses the skin with fragrance and gorgeous sparkle, perfect for evenings or special events.
🧴 Texture & Application
The mist has a slightly thicker consistency than regular body mists—likely to suspend the shimmer—leading to occasional spurt-like sprays instead of fine mist.
Tips from fans:
-
Spray over matching Fine Fragrance Mist (FFM) for longer-lasting scent.
-
Distribute shimmer by lightly rubbing it in or tapping it with fingers.
-
Avoid misting onto clothes—apply to skin first as the glitter may stick until washed.
💬 Community Feedback
Several appreciate the strong scent and subtle shimmer:
“I love Luminous too … I also have the diamond shimmer mist and think it will be great for holiday events.”
Another shares general love for shimmer mists:
“I love diamond shimmer mists lately… The shimmer mists have quite chunky particles and I don’t love the look, but… the scent lasts.”
On the other hand, some mention inconsistencies in spray delivery and shimmer effects:
“They never mist. They just kind of shoot out the fragrance liquid.”
