I agree, we always have a big jar of Vaseline at home, never fails! It's a bare budget all purpose solution to many things!

Vaseline is good for everything! I wonder how many jars are sold of that stuff each year. I'm sure they have the stats or they can say, like YSL does about Touche Eclat, that one is sold ever XX minutes. They should do a campaign for Vaseline like this!

I used to use Vaseline, now it sort of makes my skin crawl when I found out where it comes from. I prefer to use things that actually go bad eventually!

i also think the olay sunscreen is a great value and I love the aveeno lotion, it reduces irritation (their shaving gel, which is not listed, is the best shaving product i've ever seen)

I love using Vaseline on my face overnight when it is dry. It always feels so soft in the morning!

The best make up remover I have used is now discontinued from Sephora, I got curious and flipped it over and the sole ingredient is: petroleum.
Guess I'll be buying Vaseline from now on!!

Definately have to agree with the Nars Blush, Mac eyeshadow, Hello Hydration shampoo (i LOVE the smell of this stuff), UD primer potion, PM Super Skinny serum.
I would have to disagree with the BE kabuki brush (their brushes feel like they scratch my face!), MF volume couture mascara (just doesn't work for me), and MAC fluidline (ever since I found other gel type eyeliners that are even better for more than half the price...I'll never go back).
The rest of them I haven't tried. I really want to try the Aveeno stuff though.

I just purchased the vaseline jar a few weeks ago, and I have been using it on my lips, elbows, and on the eye area. I do see some results but no miracles yet. I guess it will take months, I just hope I don't get lazy and ditch the vaseline.
I think what changed my life beauty-wise was when I got an eye shadow brush. I was using cheap applicators that came with the eyeshadows, and I really thought that I should just quit makeup because I never got the application right. But now that I have my brush, I love eye shadow. Now it is matter of getting a good-quality brush, I think I will be in love with makeup even more.

Vaseline! Gross..it's all petroleum that is laced with dioxane and other yucky stuff. If you are removing your eye makeup, use Juice Beauty's Cleansing Milk to remove make up and cleanse (and great shaving cream for the men). In fact, try all the Juice Beauty products, they were my life changing products. Their Green Apple Peel and Serums really reversed my sun damaged skin. Total antioxidant load because they use organic juice as a base instead of a cheap petro or water filler. But it's not sticky--I think they use organic shea and other rich ingredients. Amazing organic, really effective products. Love Juice Beauty!
