You can pick up Vaseline from just about any drugstore and it costs under $3. Still, it is one of the most versatile and brilliant beauty products out there. Here are some of our top beauty hacks using the drugstore staple.
Remove fake eyelashes
If you rub Vaseline on your eyelashes, it will loosen the eyelash glue and will help them slide off easier, without ripping off your precious natural lashes too.
Make your perfume last longer
Dabbing a small amount of Vaseline on your neck and wrists before you apply your perfume gives it something to cling onto and hence makes it last longer.
Keeping nail varnish where you want it
Keeping the paint to the nail and only the nail is an art which some of us just can’t master. Using a Q-tip, apply Vaseline to the outside of your nails and it will keep your polish where you want it.
Protect your skin from hair-dye
As a recent red-head, I’m all too familiar with getting hair dye on my forehead and the tops of my ears. Applying Vaseline to these danger zones means the dye can’t stick to your skin and rubs off easily.
Budget highlighter
If you want glowy cheeks but don’t have your highlighter on you, you can actually use Vaseline to achieve a similar effect. Just dab it on the areas you want to highlight and you are sorted.
Thicker Lashes
If you don’t want to wear mascara but want thick, long lashes, apply a little Vaseline to your lash line. Your lashes will be popping.
Smooth over split ends
If you suffer from split ends, rub a little Vaseline through the ends of your hair to smooth them over.
