...ciao I decided to try Garnier Summer Body Lotion. *** PRICE AND AVAILABILITY ***
I bought a 250ml bottle of Summer Body in Waitrose for £4.99 However…
Now you can buy it in Boots for £3.76 for 250ml (on-line and in-store) and in Sainsbury’s it will only cost you £2.49 for 250ml or £3.49 for 400ml (on-line and in-store). Well, it’s on my Sainsbury’s shopping list now. I think you’d find it in other supermarkets, too.
I’ve also checked my local ... ...PRODUCT ***
I really liked the design. To be, the bottle looks like a big slice of mango and yellow is such a happy colour. As soon as I saw it “live” on a shelve, not just a picture, I was sold.
I must confess, I am very sceptical. Even if 100 people tell me, something is good I’ll still want to try it myself first, just to make sure. So the first thing for me was to check the smell. And God, what a lovely surprise! The lotion does have a smell ...

The bottle is the usual Garnier shape which is different to most other bottles.

I was surprised by the texture though, it's really watery and literally pours out of the bottle! I found this really annoying because far too much was coming out, and because it was so watery while I rubbed it in it was splashing everywhere! However because it is watery it is really refreshing on the skin and doesn't feel at all ...

The Summerbody Lotion comes in two different shades there is Fair to Light which is self explanatory really and is for the paler among us because this gives them a colour which will suit their skin tone. Me, I am olive skinned so I opted for the Deep Sun Kissed Look as I wanted it to show a difference on my skin and Fair to Light would probably not show up on me. The bottle stands out being a golden ... ...shaped and has the Garnier logo displayed on the front and the Summerbody title so that it is clear what the product is. It claims that it is a Moisturising Lotion for a sun kissed look but the wording is misleading. It says it gradually builds a natural looking sun kissed tan and that is it effective 12 hours moisturisation but I thought this looked like it meant it would work from 12 hours. The back has all questions and answers you may want to ...

Garnier Summer Body Lotion is available from boots, superdrug and some of the supermarkets, for 250ml full price it costs around £5 but is frequently on special offer and mine cost just £2.49 from Boots. I went for the deep sun kissed look varient, there is also a lighter glow available.

So that pretty much sold this product to me, it smells nice!

This is where Garnier and their summer body lotion comes in handy. I have had trouble with fake tan's in the past as they end up making me look orange and fake no matter how closely I follow the instructions on the side on the product.

Advantages: A healthy sun tanny glow that's natural. Disadvantages: A disaster waiting to happen!
...researching this product on the Garnier web site I found they actually have fairly detailed instructions on there of how to use the cream!! On there is says to start at your feet and work up the leg, having taken a small amount of the cream and warmed it up in your hands first.

I'm not quite sure why they don't have these instructions on the bottle itself, they certainly need to consider this as it would help a lot.

I suggest anyone who wants to use it does have a look at the instructions above and be quite careful ...

This is by far my favourite gradual tan body lotion on the market - and trust me, I have tried a few!! It comes in two different size bottles, which are yellow curve shaped with a flip lid. I have seen it on offer in both Boots and Tesco's quite frequently and always make sure I stock up whilst it's half price.

It also absorbs really quickly into the skin, so there is no need to wait around before getting dressed. One of the best things about ...

...My friend always used the Garnier Summer Body, and being slightly ignorant myself I thought that it was the cheaper and less effective cream.
How wrong was I!?
The reason for my purchase of this Garnier moisturising lotion was that I was on holiday and wanted to stock up on tinted moisturiser in a country where they don't charge you an arm and a leg for everything you buy. However, no matter where I shopped I could not find the Nivea version, only ... ...I have been using this Garnier cream for months now and have had no itchiness or redness.
I really do give this product the thumbs up!
I think that the only disadvantage that I can mark out is that when I went to buy some more in this country, the first two shops that I went in, did not sell it. However, if you go to a cosmetic retailer, like Superdrug or somewhere like that, I guarantee that it will be there, and at a good price!

Advantages: A glowing body with a lovely moisturised feel Disadvantages: beware of orange hands if you don't wash them thoroughly afterwards!
...I chose this product, the Garnier skin naturals summer body bottle. The best bit was the price, a 400ml bottle of this was on offer for £3.49, half price-bargain! The sheer value for money tempted me and the fact that I have been satisfied with other Garnier products in the past.
Here's the verdict:
