Little is known about this range from MAC, other than it will be honey scented and include body products and a salve and balm. I'm thinking lush moisturizing products perhaps? You can get it from June.

Now I'm a little bit of a body lotion fiend. I love massaging myself with oils and potions, as my skin feels so much softer and smoother afterwards. I especially like lathering on something rich after I've shaved as that gives the skin an extra sheen, but with so many products on offer where do you start? Scent is always a key factor for me, as when it's right it's soo good, and equally if it's bad the pot goes into the never to be used again pile.
I'm currently loving the Body Feast Lotion, £18 from Indian Infusions as it has a really exotic scent that conjures up impressions of busy souks, scented with orange blossoms and lemongrass, with an air of mysticism and anticipation in the air. The scent rolls over the body in a wave, sinking in really quickly and leaving the skin looking very nourished.

We're quite a a fan of Beauty Credit here at our offices as they offer up quality products with a minimal price. I've been testing out their pomegranate essence and really like it so far. It's a lightweight moisture lotion, suitable for daytime wear with a really nice consistency. It absorbs really quickly and has a slight hint of scent.
The product contains essence of pomegranate (duh!) which is a really useful ingredient if you have dry skin, as it nourishes intensively. It costs £6.50 from Beauty Credit, which is really reasonable, and it will last for ages.

I do like a nice body lotion, but all to often there are problems with consistency, texture and absorbency rate. It's no good presenting me with some lush smelling cream which then takes an hour to absorb, as I'll never use it. I've been trying this cream for the last month and so far I'm really taken with it. It's enriched with Shea butter and Vitamin E which means it melts into the skin, and it feels really luxurious. It's a nice consistency,. not to runny and not too thick, and it absorbs almost instantly into the skin.

Summer is here (sort of) and limbs are merging from thick jeans and tights to display themselves in all pale beastliness. Some opt for fake tan, but if you'd rather not have anything that permanent, you might like to check out the Leg Shines from Michael Kors. They come in three shades, bronze, classic and shimmer and are suitable for any skin tone. Just roll it across your legs for a sexy sheen, and you can also apply it to your collarbone if you wish. They cost £22 and are delicately scented.

I'm starting to really love Vaseline for churning out great products that work at affordable prices. The cocoa butter range all cost under £5 but perform as well (if not better than) other pricier products.
Even the packaging looks really good. A deep luxurious looking copper-bronze shade that initially makes you think of self-tanners (but they're not). Read on for reviews and prices of the oil gel, lotion and body butter.

Emily Tan writes: Scents are remarkably evocative things. One whiff of this body butter scented exactly like fresh frangipanis and I'm back on the sunny, golden beaches of Port Dickson, Malaysia. I'm ten, sitting under a large frangipani tree and sewing the fragrant blooms into beautiful garlands for my friends and I to wear. As I massage the thick, luxurious cream into my skin, it melts with my body heat and releases the warm, sensual scent of fresh coconut milk and coconut oil transporting me to delicious barbecues by the beach where we feasted on rich coconut-laced dishes, decked out in our floral garlands.
