Let me start by saying this: Vaseline's Illuminate Me Shimmering Body Oil is like liquid gold for melanin-rich skin. As someone who's struggled to find body oils that don't leave me looking ashy or feeling greasy, this product has been a revelation.

The first thing you'll notice is the texture - it's surprisingly lightweight compared to traditional Vaseline products. It absorbs almost instantly, leaving behind the most beautiful warm copper shimmer that enhances rather than overpowers my natural skin tone. I've used it before date nights and literally had strangers stop me to ask what I was wearing.

What really sets this apart is how it performs on dry skin. My knees and elbows tend to be Sahara-dry, but after applying this post-shower (over their Whipped Body Butter as recommended), I get 24+ hours of hydration with that perfect red-carpet glow. The shimmer doesn't transfer onto clothes either - major win!

Now for the real talk: while most reviews rave about the scent (and it is lovely), I wish it lasted longer. After about an hour, the fragrance fades completely. Also, if you're heavy-handed with application, it can feel slightly greasy until fully absorbed.

Pro tip: This works MAGIC when mixed with foundation for a dewy makeup look or dabbed on collarbones for instant glam. At 3.3oz, the bottle lasts forever since you only need a little. Just be warned - once you try it, you'll understand why people are buying multiples at a time!
