I had to by one for each one of my dogs after purchasing the first one for the new puppy. All three, pink, red, and blue are the same size fyi. Dogs love them and they seem very durable for my heavy chewers.

incredible
Color: #03 Champagne
Simply wonderful! The fragrance is delicate and sophisticated, leaving the skin gently scented all day long. The glitter has an elegant shine and is not exaggerated, perfect for parties or special events. The application is super practical, spreads easily and the fixation is great. I recommend it to those who want a touch of glamour and brightness with an incredible smell!

90’s me be jealous 🥹
Color: #04 Bronze
26 years later, here I am- the sparkling unicorn of an adult the late 90’s child version of myself DREAMED of while coating ✨EVERYTHING✨ in glitter and shimmer. Only now, I have an Amazon card and the impulse control of a toddler, so I sparkle now 🤩. Am I 40 years old? Absolutely. Did my kindergarteners at school ask why I sparkle now? Absolutely. Did my mid-life crisis self lie to them, and say because I’m a magical unicorn? Absolutely. Did they believe me? ABSOLUTELY. 10/10 recommend, but only if you too want to live your best magical unicorn life! Technical notes- the smell is light and lovely. It dries without a “feel” so I forget I even have it on. The shimmer is noticeable, but not like I rolled in glitter. I’m enjoying the bronze glimmer color, but I’m sure will be back soon for more. I could easily spray more if I wanted to be more blatant with my attention seeking. I will absolutely be using this stuff from now until I’m in my grave with no shame! Fantastic all around 🤌
