Rihanna's [Fenty Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gloss-bomb-skix) brand is set to launch Body Lava, a limited edition range of illuminizers that are applied to the shoulders, neckline, and other areas of the body that could do with a bit of [shimmery glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-bond-range).

So far, Body Lava has two shades: Brown Sugar, a bronzed caramel shade, and Who Needs Clothes?, a lighter rose gold shade. Both of the shades leave skin with a stunning dewy finish, especially when the sun reflects off of them. The product can be applied to the body with the hands or a soft kabuki brush, and is easily absorbed into the skin due to its sleek gel-based formula.

Body Lava is set to release on April 6th, and can be purchased from the Fenty Beauty site and [Sephora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/set-it-down-loose).
