16 Uses for Vaseline!

As I mentioned in this post, I'm really not a fan of using Vaseline as a lip balm. I think it's greasy, nasty and it doesn't smell very nice, so I prefer a normal lip balm. Instead, I've found 16 uses for Vaseline:

1. Vaseline is better than soap when you need to get a ring off your finger. It makes your skin more "slippery", and helps the ring get off.
2. Put Vaseline on the areas around your eyes when you dye your lashes and brows. It's really great here, because the colour doesn't go through, and it'll make it easier to remove the colour that might have ended up on your skin. 

3. Dab some Vaseline on your hairline to prevent an ugly edge from the colouring.
4. Put some Vaseline on the areas where you spray your perfume, before doing it. It'll make the perfume last longer.
5. Use it to keep your eyebrows in place.

6. Use Vaseline on your cuticles, it makes it easier to push the cuticles upwards. 
7. Put some Vaseline on the tips of your eyelashes before going to sleep. Don't get it all the way to the roots, because the oil in the Vaseline can damage your roots. This will make your eyelashes more flexible. 

8. Mix the Vaseline with some flaked salt and use it as a leg peeling. It makes your legs smooth and nice, while it also gets rid of the dead skin.

9.  You can use Vaseline as a lip gloss. Don't use it as lip care, it doesn't work very well. 

10. Put it on zippers, if they're hard to zip. It makes it smoother and helps the zipper to glide.

11. Carefully put a bit of Vaseline around the openings on nailpolishes that are hard to open, it'll loosen the grip.

Bland en meget lille smule vaseline sammen med øjenskyggen, for at få en våd effekt. (anbefales ikke til daglig brug – se alternativ)

12. Use it to polish leather shoes and bags. 

13. Mix a tiny bit of Vaseline with your eyeshadow to get a wet effect. Don't do this every day, it's not healthy for the sensitive skin on your eyelids. 

14. Use it in your face when you go on longer flights to prevent your skin from drying out from the plane's aircondition.

15. Remove glue from fake eyelashes with Vaseline. 

16. Lastly, you can use it on your lips, if you like that.  


These were my 16 uses for Vaseline. Do you have anything I've missed? Let me know!

Winter Remedies for Dry Skin!

It's winter! Well, it's starting to get colder, which means that my skin, face and lips will most likely start getting dry because of the coldness in the air. That's really horrible if you're not prepared for it. If your lips get dry, you probably recognise this: your lips are getting really dry, so you just lick them to fix that. The lips get more dry, which causes you to lick them even more, and eventually your lips will get sore and red. Of course, some people use lipbalms. Some people use Vaseline. The problem with Vaseline is, that it comes in a really annoying can, it's greasy and it melts in your pocket. Instead, go buy a normal lip balm. Some people pay a lot of money for fancy lip balms like Eos. I don't. I use this:


Mentholatum lipbalm. It's really nice, and I really enjoy it's menthol scent. It sinks in really fast and makes your lips soft and nice. Also, it's cheap. I don't think I paid more than £2.50 for a double pack. A really great alternative to ordinary lip balms. I think it's the first lip balm that I've actually used until it was empty, because I'm the kind of person who accidentally wash and dry my lip balms because I leave them in my pants. But not this one, because I use it a lot, and it's never really in my pants, but in my coat, which I bring everywhere. So yeah, definitely worth it!







If you have dry skin, you probably recognise this as well: your hands get dry. Sometimes my hands get so dry that skin starts to fall off. It's actually really disgusting, so I'm not going to go into details. My point is, it's really annoying and it really, REALLY hurts. So what you need  is a good moisturizer. This time I'll do the opposite of what I did above and warmly recommend this:

Vaseline Healthy Hands and Stronger Nails. It's genuinely the best hand cream I've ever had. It's not even £1.50, and it's still so amazing! It has a bit of a weird scent. Kind of rosy, kind of like the classic grandma-creams. But it's okay, because it dries in really fast and makes your hands and fingers soft as a baby's bottom. If you can find this, just give it a go, because it's so good!
