The $59 Investment That Made Me Fall in Love With My Body Again
Two months ago, I gave in to a splurge I’d been eyeing forever: Fenty Beauty’s Body Lava Body Luminizer in the shade Hold My Trophy. Priced at $59, I wanted to see if it was really worth the hype—or if it would end up collecting dust on my shelf. Fast forward to today, and let me tell you: this isn’t just a luminizer. It’s liquid confidence in a bottle.
From the first time I smoothed it across my skin, I felt like I was painting my body with pure seduction. The gel-based formula melted in instantly, leaving behind a bronze, dewy sheen that made my arms, legs, and décolleté look like they’d been kissed by golden-hour sunlight. It’s not just shimmer. It’s that glossy, wet-look shine that makes your curves pop and your body look sculpted—even if you skipped the gym. Honestly, I caught myself in the mirror and thought, “So this is what hot feels like.”
Where I Wore It
My first test drive was at a rooftop cocktail party. Under dim lights and city glow, the shimmer on my collarbones was magnetic—I had people asking what highlighter I was wearing. That’s the beauty of Body Lava: it isn’t loud glitter; it’s sexy, subtle sheen that photographs like a dream. I’d say this is the perfect product for date nights, pool parties, or summer festivals when you want to show a little skin and command attention without saying a word.
The Pros That Hooked Me
-
Insane Glow Payoff: The shine is next-level—like a cheekbone highlighter but for your entire body.
-
Non-Sticky Finish: Despite its gel texture, it doesn’t feel tacky once set. I could hug people without leaving shimmer all over their clothes.
-
Scent Factor: That vanilla-floral fragrance is downright addictive. I didn’t even need perfume.
-
Universal Shade Range: With five shades, there’s truly one for every skin tone. Hold My Trophy gave me that bronzed, island-goddess vibe I crave year-round.
Imagine bronzed legs that look sculpted just by walking—grab your Body Lava today.
A Few Shortcomings
No product is flawless. Body Lava comes in a luxe 3 oz bottle, but because the formula is so rich, you’ll want to use it generously—and that means it can run out faster than you’d like. Also, if you prefer a matte look, this level of shine might feel “too much” for you. But honestly, for glow lovers? These aren’t deal-breakers—they’re just reminders that this product is unapologetically extra.
Pro Tip for Application
For the smoothest, most even glow, pair Body Lava with the Fenty Face & Body Kabuki Brush 160 ($34). The dense bristles distribute the luminizer flawlessly without streaks, making your skin look airbrushed. I tried applying with my hands at first, but once I invested in the brush, the difference was unreal.

Final Seduction: Why It’s Worth It
Fenty’s Body Lava isn’t a product you buy to blend in. It’s one you buy to stand out, to step into your sexiest self, to own every inch of your skin. For me, it turned an ordinary Friday night into a head-turning moment. That’s the kind of return on investment I’m happy to pay $59 for.
