Obsessed with: Vaseline



Okay, so I know that this product has been around since my grandmother was a youngin'. But, I swear to god this stuff really is the best old time remedy and beauty product that anyone can own. For around $3.00 at any drug store you can pick up a tub of Vaseline that you can use for at least a year (a little goes a long way!) for anything and everything beauty you can think of....

So, here is the list of uses for Vaseline! :)
 
  • It makes your eyelashes grow:  Lather Vaseline all over your eyelashes overnight and watch them thicken, even without a prescription!  
  • To Soften dry and cracked elbows.Dry cuticles: Store a mini-Vaseline container in your purse and utilize for emergency dry cuticle moments.
  • For kissable, luscious lips: Fall is a beast for drying out summary, dewy lips. Vaseline is there for you and  your irresistible pout. You can also mix Vaseline with Kool-Aid powder and make a colored (and flavored) lip gloss.
  • To Help your scent stay: Softly rub Vaseline all over your perfume points (i.e. the cleavage, behind the ear, neck, and wrist) and your scent will last longer!
  • It is a misconception that Vaseline clogs pores, so smear it all over your face, neck and arms for softer skin.
  • Lipstick Smudges: Spread a little Vaseline over your teeth and lipstick smudges be gone!
  • To remove last night’s battlefield makeup: Apply some to a Q-tip and have a pretty day.
  • Perfect for an eye-shadow/blush boost: Apply some under your eye shadow for a glossy affect. Apply on the apples of your cheeks for a dewy glow. Mix with lipstick for a cream blusher!
  • It eases eyebrow plucking: Tame your eyebrows and lube up the under-skin so you can pluck with ease.
  • Prevent hair dye from seeping onto your forehead: Softly dab all over your hairline and keep that box hair dye from dying your forehead the color of your new hairdo.
  • To make your accessories look brand spankin’ new: New job interview? Scuff the crap-ole-la out of your patent leather heals thanks to pitcher night? Put a small dab on your shoes and shine away!
  • Hide Split Ends: Haven’t had a haircut since your budget only allows you go to Great Clips for a quickie? Hide damaged ends with a small amount on your ends.
  • Remove makeup stains for your clothes. Dab a little with a damp cloth.
  • To Prevent spray-tan streaks: Rub all over the backs of your knees, ankles and hands to prevent seriously frightening spray tan lines.
  • To get those O.P.I. nail polish bottles open: Is it just me or do I always try to get those babies open after I shower. Make it easier for next time and rub Vaseline under the cap. Then go ahead and do a D.I.Y manicure.
  • It’s your new exfoliating body wash: Mix with sea salt and come out of the shower feeling soft, and sexy.
  • Remove false eyelash glue from your lash line.
  • Can be used to smooth and soothe skin after shaving.
  • Lubricates ear lobes and helps to make earring insertion easy and painless.
 
Oh, and if you hate the way petroleum jelly smells, Vaseline has just come out with a CoCoButter scented tub that is amazing smelling. You will swear you are in the tropics because of the richness!
