Most Helpful Positive Review Subtle Shimmer This scrub leaves a subtle shimmer to my skin (it's subtle enough I can go to work with it). I live in a very dry area and have bad dry skin buildup, Frank Body's scrubs is essential. This scrub also leaves a slight conditioning product (some form of an oil or something), but in my area I still have to apply a lotion or oil after anyway.
Compared to Frank Body's other body scrubs this one has one of the lightest scents/smells to it. It smells like sand or stored sugar, not sweet smelling just natural. His coffee scrub has a very strong coffee smell, this is no where near as strong as that smell.
Application is a learning curve. I usually sit on the edge of my tub, put a small amount in my hand and scrub with or without a small amount of water. If my skin is feeling sensitive I add more water to water down the product. If I am itchy from dead skin build up I'll add no or a little water to keep the product dense. I usually wait for a few minutes and then shower like regular. The scrub gets all over the tub/shower.
If you have his other scrubs and like them I would give this a shot. If you haven't used his products before just be aware it's not scented with anything to make it smell better, it's a little messy to apply, but it works very well.
Most Helpful Critical Review Nothing subtle about the shimmer or smell This stuff stinks. I could smell it on my body hours later. The shimmer isn't subtle it's like I rubbed face highlight powder all over my body. I'm a burlesque dancer and I would consider this stage level body shimmer. It transferred into my clothes and onto my face. I gave up three hours later and took another shower to wash the shimmer and smell off. Stick to the original, it doesn't smell great either but it doesn't smell like death or turn you into a glittery mess.

I got this because it was on sale, the shimmer sounded super appealing, and I have another Frank Body scrub that I really love. This was not it. The smell is nasty and there's barely a "shimmer." I haven't even used it yet; will come back to review when I get the courage to try.
This really is glitter's better cousin 5
Ale from Colorado
Smells great. Leaves skin soft and with a perfect amount of glitter.
Great stuff! 4
Lora from Raleigh, NC
I'm not sure what's up with the reviews stating that it smells bad because it smells like absolute heaven! It smells exactly like the original shimmer scrub, which is kinda like a sweet, sugar cookie scent. I almost wanna eat it. It also leaves a very nice shimmer behind that lingers! Also leaves your skin feeling nice and soft! The only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because the way the packaging is designed, sometimes you can't fully seal the bag all the way due to the granules causing the scrub to harden over time...and it's almost impossible to break apart the clumps and, if you're not careful, you can scratch yourself. So, I suggest maybe using it up as fast as possible to avoid it hardening up.
Grease (like the cooking oil not the movie) 3
ZinWonderland from VA
When I opened the bag I loved the way it looked, the feeling was perfect. When it was rubbed on the shimmer was awesome. I didn't see much glitter on me after washing it off and during the cleanse it smelt like vegetable oil.. open up a bottle of vegetable oil and tell me different? Haha
I enjoyed the product but I also applied body butter afterwards so the smell went away. I'll use up the product but I won't rebuy, it's not for everyone. product, I
Would buy again 5

I loved this body scrub. I havent used a ton of body scrubs, but this is probably my favorite one that I've used so far. My only complaint is I feel as though it could exfoliate a little better on my skin (as in be a tiny bit rougher). But other than that, I love it. I saw a lot of reviews saying it smelled disgusting. Personally i find this a little dramatic. It certainly doesn't have a good fragrance, but to me it just reminds me of an unscented product. And once it's on your skin, i personally completely forgot about any smell. I also like the amount of glitter it gives as well. It's a kind of a lot, but If you shower at night like I do, it'll be a lot more subtle by the morning. A piece of advice i would give to anyone who buys this though is to not use it before you shave. When u shave, the layer of glitter/moisturizer the scrub leaves comes right off.
Smells terrible 1
Adri from WA
This stuff smells so bad I threw it away. It was intolerable. I used it once and it did make my skin feel nice, but it also left way too much shimmer, plus smelled strongly of i-dont-even-know-what

TaylorJ from Marquette,MI
I used it for a girls night we both loved how soft it made our skin however it did have a strange order to it.

I Don't Smell Anything 5
MStr7 from Madison, WI
I love almost every frank body scrub I've ever tried including this one. This one is more of a sugar scrub so it shouldn't be soaked with water otherwise it could get super hard and crunchy (enough to cat scratch your skin). The shimmer is really pretty and my skin feels super smooth after each use. It's so hard for me to use up my non-frank-body scrubs when I love these ones so much.
Hate the smell 1
Kit from Oregon
It's stinks doesn't do a very good job of exfoliating and leaves you feeling greasy do not buy this product.
Smells like a dead body 1
Melt224 from Clarksville, TN
I was excited about this product, until I opened the package and smelled it. I don't know how a company would make this and think the scent is ok. I can't say enough bad words about the scent. It does leave slight specks of gold on your body, but the scent lingers.
Love love love it! 5
Lex from Powder springs, GA
Again I do not understand what these other people want their body to smell like lol because this product smells fine. It makes you're skin sparkle for days after the wash!! I love it! This will make you feel and look like a Queen!

Do not buy 2
Amelia from Maine
I bought this product because I love their coffee scrub. I do not recommended this product it smells terrible and is super abrasive I would stick to the OG coffee scrub!
Stinks 3
A from Poughkeepsie
I didn't get this at ulta but I couldn't leave a review for FabFitFun. It does it's job as an exfoliator and gives a nice glitter all over, however the smell is soooo bad! There is nothing pleasant about the odor. It does not last on your skin though only when actually using it.
