I LOVE VASELINE

I have mentioned before about how I don't normally wear lipgloss or lipstick. I use vaseline or my blistex lip balm. But vaseline is good for so many other things and it is one of the cheapest beauty products you can buy.

I have combo skin that is a pain but I can still use vaseline with no problem. I use it under my eyes at night. I rotate it with my Ponds dry skin cream. My crazy skin has never had a reaction to it and that is saying something.

What I do is apply a light layer to my skin and under my eyes. Then I dab with a tissue to remove excess. That way there is still a thin layer but not enough to make a huge mess.

The next morning my skin looks glowy and feels soft. If you look at alot of your beauty products they contain petroleum in some form. I know alot of people run screaming for the hills when they think about petroleum in their beauty products. I am not one of those people. I personally love vaseline and I think it is a great inexpensive beauty product.

Vaseline gets a bad rap alot of the time. You hear it shouldn't be in beauty products because it will clog your pores and blah blah blah. Well, I have used products without petroleum and they have clogged my pores. So whatever. Everyone is different and no one can really say whether it will work for you until you try it. Vaseline only costs a couple of bucks so it is worth a try. If it doesn't work for your skin, at least you can always use it as a lipgloss.

GOOD OLD PONDS DRY SKIN CREAM

It seems like Ponds has been around forever. I guess there is a reason this is an oldie but a goodie. I use this as a moisturizer at night alot and as an eye cream. It does not irritate my eyes and it is very moisturizing. It is cheap and it lasts a long time. My skin tends to act up with alot of products.

This has never caused any type of reaction. Maybe you will have good luck with it also. You can buy this at Walmart,Target,drugstores and Amazon.com. It costs about 5.00 for the 3.9 oz container like mine.

LACURA SKIN CARE LINE FROM ALDI GROCERY STORES

I discovered the Lacura skin care line from Aldi grocery stores a couple of months ago after reading about them online. They are supposed to be really good products and are really cheap.

The next day I made a trip to Aldi about 30 minutes from my house. I bought the cleanser(3.49), regular toner and the one for sensitive skin(2.49),the Q10 night cream with retinol and the Q10 day cream (3.99 each).

I think the cleanser is pretty good. I have very weird combination skin.I get dry patches really easy. I also am really oily and have blackheads. I like both of the toners equally. They are as good as any of the ones I have bought before and paid more money for them. I really like the night cream . It is moisturizing but not overly greasy. I am not really impressed with the day cream and did not see anything special about it. Overall these are just as good as alot of other products but they are cheaper than most.
