15 great uses of Vaseline!!

Vaseline is one of my holy grail beauty products! It can be used for so many things making it very versatile. I've been using Vaseline for a couple of years now and it really is one my beauty addictions, seriously anybody who knows me knows how obsessed I am with this stuff !! I have so many tins of it and I never go out without it because it is great for fixing makeup... so without further a due I shall share with you 15 of my favorite uses of Vaseline...

1) Chapped lips
Okay so this is probably the most obvious one of all but is certainly the most used reason. Chapped lips ? no problem, just apply some Vaseline and you're guaranteed softer smoother lips. I carry a tub round with me everywhere I go so just in case my lips are feeling a little dry I can whip of my Vaseline and hydrate my lips! You can also put this on before bed like I do and when you wake up you will automatically feel a difference.. Now who doesn't want soft kissable lips ?!

2) Grow them Lashes
I've been applying Vaseline to my eyelashes for probable just over a year now after watching a tutorial on it, and wow what a difference it has made!! Vaseline is a perfect affordable way to to grow your lashes and make them stronger, Adding that moisture helps your lashes from stopping breaking and falling out meaning healthier fuller lashes. You can either grab a little bit on your fingers and apply that way by gently gliding over your lashes or you can use a clean mascara brush and brush the Vaseline through your lashes like you would with mascara. I apply Vaseline right before bed after my night time skin care routine and in the morning after I've washed my face.

3) Dry patches
This use is a massive savior for me especially in the winter when the harsh coldness is making my poor skin thirsty and dry. Whenever my face has dry patches I just dab a little bit of Vaseline on to it and it instantly hydrates the patch making it softer and less noticeable.

4) Keep those brows in place
If you suffer from unruly eyebrows then this use is definitely for you, have you ever been out and found your eyebrows not in place as you thought they were but you don't have any brow gel on you? well then grab your Vaseline and just slick some over them eyebrows of yours and you're all set to go.

5) Perfume smelling for longer
Sometimes I find as the day goes on I can't smell my perfume as much as when I applied it, and me being a lover of smelling great had to find a way to help it stay for longer, well this little trick helped me out a bunch! Just rub a bit of Vaseline on the spot you want to apply your perfume then go ahead and spray away! You're now all set to be smelling lush all day! how lovely :)

6) Tattoo after care
If you're thinking of getting a new tattoo or ave just had one done then this tip will benefit you a lot! As you already probably know getting a tattoo hurts like hell, and the pain after isn't too nice either. But to help sooth the soreness you can add a bit of Vaseline over the top of it once it's dried. I used the aloe vera one on my brother after he had his first one done and he said it made the pain a whole lot better in the way it soothed it a bit especial as the aloe vera in it has cooling properties.

7) Shaving
If you suffer with soreness and redness after you've shaved well try smoothing some Vaseline over the area to help soothe it and reduce the redness. This will also leave your skin lovely and smooth.

8) Split ends
Ahh split ends.. Have you ever been so bored that you've sat there just trimming off every split end you can find? if not maybe that's just me.. however what I also like to do when I find a pesky split end is apply some Vaseline to it which helps hide the appearance of them until you can next get a trim!

9) Eyelash glue
Have you ever been on a night out only to come home remover your makeup but then have residue left over from your eyelash glue.. this can be a pesky problem to deal with because you don't want to be rubbing it off and end up also pulling some of your eyelashes of with it too, also by leaving it can damage your eyelashes in the long run making them short and sparse. So to remove it easily take a dab of Vaseline and slide it over you lids to remove the glue gently.

10) Hair dye stains
As incredible dying your hair to whatever shade you desire is the downside is staining your skin around your hair!! However by applying some Vaseline to your hair line or forehead this can prevent the dye from staining your skin.

11) Spray tanning streaks
I know how some Ladies love to get a spray tan to make them look healthy and glowing but when you get those streaks over your body that's when it turns not so great.. To avoid these streaks rub some Vaseline into the areas that tend to get a bit streaky, this will then allow you to achieve a beautiful flawless tan! Yaay!

12) Moisturizing dry hands
Some people suffer from dry hands but a great way to help moisturize them is to rub some all over your hands before you go to bed and wear a glove over the top, then when you wake up you will have oh so soft hands.

13) Makeup stain remover
Got some foundation or lipstick on your favorite shirt ? No problem just rub some Vaseline over it and it should be sure enough to remover it.

14) Eye makeup remover
Sometimes I take my makeup off but I find not all of it has been taken off, A great way to remover the rest is to gently rub some Vaseline over it, not only are you taking the left over makeup off but also moisturizing your eye area! Fab!

15) Jewellery stuck 
Got a ring stuck on your finger ? Rub some Vaseline around it and it will be sure to slide off. Or maybe you can't get your earrings in and you're too scared to jab them through.. add some to your holes of your ear and this should help slide the earrings in

So there you have it.. My favorite uses of Vaseline ! Thanks for reading :)
