Beauty Uses for Classic Products: Vaseline and Q-tips

There is a reason that products like Vaseline and Q-tips stand the test of time. They are classic products that are incredibly useful for a wide variety of purposes. I mean, they just work! I know I don't even need to explain to anyone what these products are. I am sure you all have both Vaseline and Q-tips in your homes.

I always have a tub of Vaseline in my medicine cabinet to soothe onto dry lips, dry cuticles, and skin irritations. It seems that no matter what the cause is of the irriation, if I smooth some on before bed, I will wake up to improved skin. Mostly, I use it for dry lips. I just dab a Q-tip into the container (I try to refrain from sticking my actual fingers in the jar) and smooth onto my lips.

As far as Q-tips, my primary use besides being a great Vaseline applicator, is to remove eye makeup. Every evening I dip 2 Q-tips into my Neutrogena liquid makeup remover (my current fave) and smooth over my eye makeup. I use the side that is wet with remover first. Then I clean up any remaining remover with the dry side. I use one Q-tip for each eye.

So, when Vaseline and Q-tips contacted me with some great beauty tips, I just knew that I had to share the tips with you! Some of these I have heard of and forgotten and some are new to me. Either way, its always great to get tips for items that you already always have on hand!
