I tried the NYX Fat Oil Body Oil in Caramelt Mami, and this is one of those products that made a lot more sense once I saw it on the skin.
In the bottle, it looks very bronzy and shimmery. I thought it might be too much for everyday wear or leave me looking covered in glitter.
It doesn’t.
It gives the skin a warm, glossy summer glow without making it look like you poured craft glitter on your shoulders. It catches the light, smells sweet, and makes bare arms, legs, shoulders, and collarbones look a little more polished.
BREE’S VERDICT
Worth the summer glow.
Affordable, pretty, and worth buying. Start with the mini, then blame me when you go back for the full size.

What Caramelt Mami looks like on the skin
Caramelt Mami gave my skin a warm bronze tint with little shimmer.
Love it the most on:
collarbones
tops of the shoulders
arms
down the center of the legs
a little across the chest
It looks so good with a tank top, swimsuit, sundress, linen set, or anything that leaves some skin showing.
Your skin still looks like skin. It just looks warmer, glowier, and more finished.
It’s not completely invisible body oil, it’s going to give you a bronze and shimmer. But it is much nicer to wear than I expected.

The Scent
This smells so good.
It has that sweet, warm, caramel-type scent, but it is not as overpowering as some of the stronger summer body products. If you love that Brazilian Bum Bum-style warm gourmand scent but find it too strong or headache-inducing after a while, this feels like a nicer option.
It gives you the summer scent without taking over the whole room.
That was a big part of why I liked it. I love smelling good, but I don’t always want something so strong that I’m over it an hour later.
Mini Size or Full Size?
I got the smaller size for $9.99, and honestly, that is the perfect way to try it.
They do have a larger bottle, but if you’re not sure whether you’ll like body oil, shimmer, or the scent, the mini is the move. It lets you test the glow without committing to the full size right away.
And if you end up loving it, then you can go back for the bigger one.
Is It Worth It?
Yes. I didn’t expect to love it this much, but I do.
The NYX Fat Oil Body Oil in Caramelt Mami gives a bronzy summer glow, smells sweet without being too much, and makes your skin look prettier almost instantly.
This is a good one for pool days, vacation, summer nights, date night, or just making a basic outfit look better.
Let’s not be caught dead this summer without a glow.
Grab it at Target or online if you want that bronzy, glossy, summer-skin look without spending luxury body oil money.
