Vaseline Petroleum Jelly has long been a staple in my family, even before I was born.  This all-purpose product can be used to tame fly-aways in hair, soothe dry skin, heals sores and so much more.  A friend of mine uses this as lip-gloss and also to treat burns.  I’m currently loving the Baby Fresh Scent, which has just a hint of that wonderful baby powder smell.  Check out 22 other uses for Vaseline as written by Beautiful With Brains!

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly with Baby Fresh Scent retails for $4 or less depending on size.

For some odd reason, my T-zone has decided to dry up like the Sierra Desert.  For me this is unusual, since this is normally the oiliest area on my face.  Clinique Moisture Surge hydrates dry, flaky skin instantly and the effects can be felt up to 12 hours.  I chose this magical gel-textured moisturizer for my T-zone because it deeply moisturizes without adding excess oil.  Although the price is a little higher than I’d normally pay ($34 for 1.7 oz.), such a small amount is needed, the jar will last quite a long time.  This gel/cream is perfect for night use, under makeup or as a 5-minute gel mask.

Mark has introduced two new tinting products for lips and cheeks.  Just a little dab gives lips and cheeks a light pink hue and adds a subtle gold shimmer which highlights without being gaudy.  Both the lip and cheek formulas spread easily and the pink shade adjusts uniquely to your skin tone.  Dewy makeup is “in” this spring and these tints will help you achieve a nice, sheer, feminine look.

I’m sure you’ve noticed it’s hard to find an eye cream under $10, but there’s one out there that I always turn to when I’m low on cash.  Physicians Formula Luxury Eye Cream hydrates the eye area with a blend of light, natural oils.  The texture is not creamy as the name would seem to indicate; it has more of a petroleum-type feel.  Just one swipe under the eyes is all it takes to keep this delicate area refreshed and hydrated.  I purchase mine at Ulta, but Walgreen’s and CVS also carry it at a slightly higher price.

Physicians Formula Luxury Eye Cream can be found for $5 or less at most retailers.

There’s nothing like a new spin on an old favorite!  Urban Decay’s new Primer Potion in Sin gives your shadows the same staying power as the original, but adds a bit of shimmer to any shade.  This new formula is a little thinner than the original UDPP, so many will find it a little easier to spread across the lid.  The champagne color looks great on any skin tone and can be worn alone as an eyeshadow or highlighter.  Say hello to your new addiction!

Urban Decay’s new Primer Potion in Sin can be found only at Sephora.
