Said to tighten skin because of the guarana extract in this cream, it’s not the reason that I wanted my own little mini of the Sol De Janiero Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. I wanted it because I heard that it smells so good, and when I tried it in the Sephora store, there were too many scents around and I couldn’t really appreciate it for what it was. So I got it as part of my birthday gift. 
This cream, is water-based so when you apply it, it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave your skin greasy. It also has a bit of shimmer in it which makes your skin look nice. I would love this moisturizer for the summer time.
But I would say that the best thing about this cream is the scent. It’s creamy, floral, summery, warm. Like suntan lotion when it was a thing, like a warm summer day at the beach, but in a good way. Unlike most coconut-vanilla smelling things, it doesn’t smell too sweet or like good – it actually smells like a lotion.
This is the mini size. $27 at Sephora. Totally worth getting as my birthday gift.
