Designer Skin All Dolled UpScent: The pinkberry scent is not descriptive to many...so what I thought of it...berry...light berry..reminded me of a little girls solid perfume scent, too faint to be a spray. Back in the 80s and 90's dolls were sold with solid perfume compacts from time to time...some even had cosmetics embedded in their chests. The "pink" scent I got from it was the water down perfume fragrance, almost what you package into a cutesy playful bottle if you were trying to describe the color pink...Its def a little girls scent you would give to a girly girl for her birthday, the ones that comes in a cutesy bottle with some cartoon character on it...or soemthing sold at a hello kitty store. Not bad. scents fades right away...if your sophisicated, and like things like DS Grease (smells like CK Eternity), this isn't for you!
ATO: none
Lotion texture...not greasy..just smooth...typical of many thinner DS lotions. Not runny...I know some DS ones are. Texture reminds me of DS Coco De Ville.
Lotion color...clear like a typical accelorator, or plain lotion.
I got this mainly bc I wanted to compare it to DS Pretty & Wreckless which I love...and want an accelorator that does its job and isn't overly priced.
I think this does its job...gives a nice color boost...doesn't make the face feel tingley...sometimes when accelorators like Kardashian Intensifier and Pretty Wreckless are working you can feel it on your face. The sensation is still much softer than an actually tingle...(I have severe sensitivities to pain, and sensations).
I like that it delivers a nice sheen to the skin, and soft color. I was very relaxed and pumped after my tan. I actually like the idea of a barbie type lotion...and like that it wasn't overdone. Maybe DS or another brand can expand on the Barbie concept and do a malibu barbie. This is def a sweet teenage barbie like lotion. I did enjoy it att 28...as a former barbie and current fashion and makeup lover. Despite its child like fragarance, its not powerful, and as stated no ATO.
I recommend this lotion for ppl who want a slight boost, maintenance color, or something hydrating that isn't gonna be powerful in scent, or leave em blotchy. It does what its suppose to do for a clear accelorator...I may see more color throughout the day, or tomorrow.
I love my tone right now, I am nice and bronze. No orange. Still contemplating Kardashian Intensifier and this, and pretty wreckless. I think I need to give all three a go again, before I buy a bottle.
If you get a package deal on this or get it from a good deal site, its usually a nice buy, not expensive...for DS.
