In the UK, Vaseline recently launched the Sheer Infusion range, which includes three body lotions. Today I am reviewing the Mineral Renewal Body Lotion.
The product has a very lightweight gelee-lotion consistency. It is one of the most easily spreadable body moisturizers that I have come across. Considering how lightweight it is, it is a very hydrating body lotion and the moisture is long-lasting.
Some of its moisturizing ingredients include glycerin, dihydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, isopropyl myristate, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, and hydroxyethyl urea. (Vaseline claims that the combination of dihydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, glycerin, and hydroxyethyl urea (patented as Stratys-3) is able to hold moisture in the skin longer.)
Because it is very lightweight, I think there can sometimes be temptation to apply more than what is needed. But a little really goes a long way with this product, and over-application can result in some stickiness in the first couple of hours.
The lotion has a fresh fruity scent. According to Vaseline, the Mineral Renewal Body Lotion includes fragrant notes of pear, bergamot, apple blossom, white peony, and ginger.
Overall this is a very easy-to-use and effective body moisturizer that should suit most skin types, including the drier skin types. Based on the relatively small amount that is needed per application, the 200ml bottle should last quite a long time.
Vaseline’s Sheer Infusion range also includes Vitamin Burst Body Lotion and Botanical Blend Body Lotion.

Bobbi Brown recently launched the Makeup Facelift collection, which aims to create a bright and well-rested complexion. The collection includes both existing and new items, and today I am highlighting two Brightening Lip Glosses in this collection (one existing shade and one new shade).
Pink Lilac (existing shade, right in photo) is a soft cool pink with a very subtle hint of lilac, and Popsicle (new shade) is a medium-to-warm pink. Both have a low-to-medium pigmentation level, but the colors are pigmented enough to show up on the lips.
They have very fine shimmering particles which are predominantly silver-toned. The finish is gently pearly without frostiness. The glossy vinyl finish that they have lasts very well.
Color-wise, between the two, I prefer Popsicle. The warm pink looks very natural and brings a touch of liveliness to the face, which is part of the aim of the collection, and I think this shade should suit most complexions. Pink Lilac is relatively paler and should suit slightly lighter complexions.
The Makeup Facelift collection also features Eye Shadow in Navajo. It used to be a limited-edition shade that was only available in the Basics Eye Palette in Bobbi Brown’s holiday 2008 collection, but it is now available as an individual shade. You can see the mention of the shade here.

Lunasol will release a limited-edition Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit in Japan on March 12th. Lunasol fans will surely recognize the eye palette in this kit. It is the exceptionally popular Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige.
The Skin Modeling Eyes series was released in spring 2007, and 01 Beige Beige has been so popular that it is constantly out of stock in Japan. This time, the eye palette is paired with a lip palette with four beige-toned shades. The design of the lip palette is reminiscent of Skin Modeling Lips (also part of Lunasol’s spring 2007 collection), but the color combination is different from those of the four palettes released then.
The kit is priced at 5250 JPY, which is the retail price of the eye palette on its own. This makes the kit a really good deal.
