1.🧴That Rihanna Glow

Opened the jar. Immediately understood the hype.

The scent is pure vacation — not a cheap coconut, but like a piña colada made by a fancy bartender. It’s the first thing you notice and it lasts.

2.The Star Power

Fenty Skin’s Butta Drop. $42 for 8 oz. The claim? A whipped oil that hydrates without the greasy film.

1

Whipped Oil Texture

It’s a mousse that melts into an oil on contact.

2

24-Hr Hydration

Uses shea butter and murumuru butter to lock it in.

3

Glow Finish

Promises a sheen, not glitter — a “skin” glow.

3.👑What’s Inside

It’s a butter party. Murumuru and cupuaçu butters are lighter than shea, so it’s rich but not suffocating. The oil blend is the real star — gives that slip.

  • Murumuru Butter: Locks in moisture, lighter than shea
  • Cupuaçu Butter: Ultra-hydrating, absorbs fast
  • Kalahari Melon Oil: Fatty acids for softness
  • Baobab Oil: Antioxidants, helps with skin elasticity

4.The Feel Test

Scoops like cool whip. The melt is instant — you’re rubbing in an oil within three seconds. No dragging.

After two weeks, my sheets still smell faintly like it. The glow is real, but on dry patches? It sits on top for a minute before sinking in.

💡

One Thing: Apply to damp skin right after the shower. Absorbs in 10 seconds, zero residue.

5.🤔Who It’s For

My legs looked polished, not ashy, all day. But it’s not a miracle worker for severe dryness — it’s more about maintenance and that signature gleam.

Worth it?
Yes, for the scent and finish alone. But it’s a luxury, not a necessity.
