Nonuple life of Vaseline

A jar of Vaseline costs about 5 dollars. It also last for years. It sits in the bottom drawer of your vanity of on the top shelf of your closet. Why? Because there are so many things that Vaseline can be used for that people never think about. I think this happens with a lot of products because we think that each thing has only one use now a days.
Use it to prep your skin before fragrances. Moisturized skin will hold the scent better, so run some on before using your perfume to make your fragrance last longer. Also apply it before your self tanner. It will act as a barrier and make for less unevenness and staining. This also applies around the hairline before coloring your hair with dyes.
Vaseline is great at taming fizzy hair and sealing dry split ends. If you're really savvy, you could even use it to keep your eyebrows in place.
Adding Vaseline to the skin brings moisture and shine. You can try swapping it for your daily highlighter to give you face a more natural glow. Even slide a little on your shins to make your legs glow.
Use it to remove makeup stains from clothing. All you need is a damp wash cloth and a little Vaseline and the stains will lift from the fabric. This works on pillows, blankets, sheets, anything.
If you're into doing your nails, this one is a must know. If you ever find yourself cleaning up around the sides of your nails after you paint them, even when you try your best to keep it in the lines, there is a solution. Add Vaseline all around your nail and cuticle, without getting any on your nails themselves. Now paint your nails and get the perfect manicure without the clean-up. The Vaseline creates a slick surface so the polish doesn't stick to the skin and rubs right off.
This may be obvious, but the main use of Vaseline is to moisturize, and it does a great job. Use it anywhere you see your skin starting to dry or crack. This doesn't just apply to skin either. Use it as a clear mascara to nourish your eye lashes on the days you decide to go for the natural look.
If you want to try a fun makeup trick, add Vaseline to your favorite eye shadow and instantly turn it into a eye base/cream eyeshadow.
As far as footwear goes, don't waste your money on shoe polishes. Use Vaseline to get them shining again! This works for any boots or other leather shoes or goods that could use a polish.
