Fenty Skin Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream Review

Celebrity Check

Rihanna’s viral body cream promises a buttery glow, but does it deliver for the average user without the star power?

Expert Analysis · Honest Reviews · Real Results

1.🧴Butter or Bust?

Rihanna made a body cream that went viral. I bought it because I wanted to look like I was lit from within, not just moisturized.

The real test? My lizard-legs in February. No filter, no studio lighting.

2.✨The Pitch

It’s a $42 whipped body cream from Fenty Skin. The claim is a “buttery glow” that isn’t greasy. A tall order.

Feels like cool, airy mousse straight from the jar.

Promises a pearlescent sheen, not glitter.

“Fresh Fig & Shea” – less fruity, more like a clean, expensive hotel.

3.🤔What’s Inside

It’s a hybrid – a cream with oil suspended in it. The hero ingredients are basic but solid. They hydrate, not transform.

4.🌟The Feel Test

It melts on skin like warm butter on toast – but weirdly, it doesn’t fully vanish. Leaves a detectable film for a few minutes.

After two weeks, my skin was softer. The surprise? That film is the glow. You can’t have one without the other.

💡

One Thing: Apply to damp skin right after the shower. Cuts the residue feeling in half.

5.🧴Who It’s For

Measurably softer skin, yes. That lit-from-within glow? Only under direct light. In my dim bathroom, I just look moist.

✅

Buy if

You have dry skin and want a subtle sheen for a night out.

⏭️

Skip if

You hate any trace of product feel or want deep, lasting hydration.

💰

Worth it?

For the experience, maybe. For pure moisturizing, drugstore finds beat it.

6.💭Final Take

It’s a vibe, not a miracle. Fun for the sensory experience and the Fenty factor, but the performance is just fine.

6.5/10

Good, not great, butter.

🛍️

Where to Buy: Sephora. Try the mini first – the full jar is huge and you’ll get bored.
