Weekly Cheap Secret:
This is one of those great drugstore products. Basically, it is the perfect summer moisturize. It is a lightweight lotion, not greasy and not very moisturizing either but really all I need during the summer when I sunscreen up anyways 
But, I must add that I am used to body oil and goopy body butters. That is my disclaimer. It is faintly scented. That doesn’t stick around at all so you can wear whatever fragrance you desire without your moisturizer getting in the way. Don’t worry this does not have that Original Jergen’s scent 
What I love about this lotion is the shimmer. It has tons of tiny, finely milled gold shimmers. It looks amazing on tanned skin, any complexion really, because it “warms” it up. You are supposed to wait a few minutes before dressing because the shimmer may transfer on to clothes. I find myself impatient and rushed once I get out of the shower. Sometimes I dress immediately. I have gotten this on my clothes but it was no biggie. It washed out in the laundry and did not permanently stain. I somehow leave a glitter trail no matter where I go, so this didn’t bother me. If you let this dry, it will not budge. That is great. You will be shimmery all day! Do wash your hands unless you want gilded palms! I love to use this on my legs, everywhere, it really works with my complexion. I like it so much better than Michael Kors Leg Shine, which smells great but doesn’t give me a natural glow.
It’s a bummer because I can’t find this at any of the drugstores or superstores anymore. I order it from drugstore.com and it seems that many ladies are having this problem too. I hate that just because I hope it isn’t being discontinued because it is one of the best shimmer products on the market. I also read that a reviewer mixes this with body cream. That is a great idea. This is a little costly for a drugstore product and that will stretch it and it is hard to find. (I have been known to ration this product and only wear it when I know I will be showing some skin). Also you can customize how much moisture you need. It goes for about $7.50 for 7.5 ounces. I wish they would focus on this moisturizer again and stop coming out with all of those Natural Glow products, this is all I need!
You'll have a golden gold but it won't be Goldfinger!

I was unaware that the product has been “officially” discontinued since it is still available on drugstore.com. So I went to the company website and I couldn’t find any info on Soft Shimmer. I will be contacting them and requesting for the product to be back on the market. You guys can do the same, what the heck, right?

Ughh! It’s true! Looks like we’ll be fighting over it!
Victoria,
Thank you for contacting us!
We regret to inform you that Jergens Soft Shimmer Moisturizer will be discontinued as of July 2009 due to declining sales. We do not have any remaining stock. We hope you’ll consider another Jergens product for your moisturization needs. Our Natural Glow Body Moisturizers give the skin a very subtle shimmer along with the skin darkening effect. Our Shea Butter Moisturizer also gives the skin a sheen but not via mica particles in the product as Soft Shimmer did.
