Last Monday morning, while in NYC for
Fashion Week, I got ready and rushed out of my hotel room - forgetting to apply lotion. Quelle horreur, right? Honestly, that doesn't even begin to cover it because I was on my way to an event sponsored by Vaseline.
I mean, how you gonna show up for a Vaseline event with ashy arms?
When I arrived at the event and spied my scaly skin, I was beyond embarrassed. But my awkward situation actually presented a unique opportunity to put
Vaseline's new Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 lotions to the test.
I have to admit that when I squeezed a dollop of the silky formula into my open palm, I was immediately skeptical. I was all, "Child, please. Bring on the grease! If Vaseline believes that this thin lotion is going to quench my Sahara-dry dermis, I've got some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell 'em." But after smoothing Sheer Infusion on my my skin, I was shocked at how it instantly banished the ash - leaving it hydrated and silky smooth all day.
Though it works like magic, there is actually some hard core science behind Vaseline's newest breakthrough. Sheer Infusion delivers two times more moisture than leading everyday body lotions - thanks to Stratys-3, a multi-layer moisturizing complex that infuses and suspends moisture across multiple layers of the skin (the top, the core and deep down). The revolutionary patented technology of Stratys-3 enables Sheer Infusion to deliver these layers by combining three powerful ingredients: Glycerol Quat, Glycerin and Hydroxy Ethyl Urea.
Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available in three variants:
* Botanical Blend: With botanical cypress extract and eucalyptus extract, this lotion is perfect for those looking for skin soothing benefits. It features a sap boost scent with hints of Fiji apple, Chinese mandarin, sun-drenched water lily, stephanotis flowers, Baltic amber and musk.
*Mineral Renewal (
Spoiled Pretty fave!): This formula contains enriching minerals found in healthy skin for when your skin feels tired and depleted. It features a scent of crisp pear, fresh bergamot, white peony, apple blossom and a hint of ginger essence.
* Vitamin Boost: Featuring Vitamins B5 and E, this lotion is ideal for those whose skin needs a boost. The ferngully scent includes a blend of sparkling citrus, red current berries, pear, rhubarb, flowers and spices.
Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys-3 is available now at food, drug and mass retailers nationwide in both 6.8 oz bottles ($6.25) and 13.5 oz pump bottles ($8.99).

Sorry this post is so late, y'all. My day job work load picked up and I have been crazy tired by the time I get home. Plus, Verizon has decided to jack up my DSL connection...so sometimes I'll be connected and the next, I'm looking at error messages.
