Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly, $4.49

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9*
Why it's life-changing: "Works better than any ChapStick. It even looks good as a basic, [clear] gloss. I've even slathered it on my face and slept with it on (put a towel over your pillow case!) when my face was particularly dry. When I washed it off in the morning, my skin was amazingly soft and gorgeous. My under-eye areas are really dry, so when I put concealer there it tends to look even drier, but using a very small amount of this with my concealer makes it work perfectly. For feet, hands, arms, legs, lips, [and] as a makeup remover, this product is so versatile." -- sheshedivine, TotalBeauty.com member

Love these "products that actually do what they're supposed to" articles.

by Tucsonmom Friday, April 5, 2013 at 08:32PM Report as inappropriate

I saw more than one thing that I've used or currently use, glad to see that.

Congratulations! That was a superb choice of various products in price ranges for everyone. I completely enjoyed this piece!

I like all of these, except I think MAC fluidline has cheaper alternatives of equal quality.

Vaseline is great to use as makeup remover and makes my skin feel soft.

by Tlee Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 05:51PM Report as inappropriate

Pantene is great!

The best of the best! Heard of most of these products!

by MissXu Friday, December 7, 2012 at 08:39PM Report as inappropriate

Vaseline is the best, and it has a lot of purposes.

by nicky22 Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 08:08AM Report as inappropriate

I have never heard anything but good things about Nars blushes but I need to wait until all my blush is used up before I invest in a $25 one or I'll feel guilty. Otherwise, can't wait to try it!

by Lamexicana1 Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 08:58PM Report as inappropriate

I AGREE WITH USING THE VASELINE. IT HAS BEEN IN MY MAKEUP BAG FOR SO LONG. MANY WAY'S TO USE. LOVE IT AND VERY INEXPENSIVE.

by Tlee Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 08:59PM Report as inappropriate

Definitely agree with the Urban Decay Primer Potion. My eye shadow stayed flawless even after a full day of work and beach volleyball!

by jsmith8 Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 09:28AM Report as inappropriate

I couldn't live without my UD Primer Potion! I use it every day.

by GingerDrink Thursday, July 26, 2012 at 04:08PM Report as inappropriate

I agree with some of the producs, not with others as I guess is common. I like Aveeno but we certainly dont get it for that price in Canada its more like $9-10, it does work well though. I cant stand anything pantene, aveda shapoo for 25 years for me, cost initially but lastsif you buy economy size not tht much more over time. I hvnt had the opportunity to try Mac products or Nars either. A great eyeshadow is Lise Watier from Monteal Canada. Lots of great product nd some I will try for sure

i absolutely CAN'T live without my aveeno body lotion!

by liliofthevalley Friday, May 25, 2012 at 10:12AM Report as inappropriate

petroleum jelly is bad for you, olay tests on animals & panteen is the worst product ever for your hair.

by DTalksAll Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 03:38PM Report as inappropriate

I love Nars blush powders!

by melissaaao Monday, April 23, 2012 at 07:13AM Report as inappropriate

well i definitely agree with the vaseline...thats a must!! i have heard quite a bit about some of these products, but surprising also never heard of others

by olkrav319 Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 03:55PM Report as inappropriate

Great list of products. I love most of them!

by pynkNymphette Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 11:02PM Report as inappropriate

some of these aren't even comparable to other products like NARS blush and MAC eyeshadow it just doesn't get better than that!

by Alisunshine Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 10:59AM Report as inappropriate

I wish aveeno was sold where I live, seems like they have products I'd use and that would work with my skin.

awesomee

I love that Olay lotion!

by eatinglipstick Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 11:28AM Report as inappropriate

I really love the Hello Hydration by Herbal Essences! But the 2-in-one for me hasn't really worked as good as the old apply-rinse-repeat routine with the separate shampoo and conditioner

by tripunia345 Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 08:44AM Report as inappropriate

I'm definitely planning on adding some of these to my stash

by sportimonki13 Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 10:27PM Report as inappropriate

nice picks planning on trying the oil of olay regenerist

by lisa_ratz Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 11:54AM Report as inappropriate

For me it would be tinted lip balm - I don't discriminate, I love them all but my go to is Burt's Bees.

by DaneIM Friday, October 7, 2011 at 09:12AM Report as inappropriate

Love them all!

by kelser11 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 01:16PM Report as inappropriate

vaseline is my go to solution for dry/chapped lips. put it on before i go to bed, and wake up in the morning with great lips!

by minty211 Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 12:31PM Report as inappropriate

wooah vaseline!

by riley_beach Sunday, July 24, 2011 at 09:17PM Report as inappropriate

i prefer the totally twisted - really enhances my curls

by lynn2u54022 Monday, July 11, 2011 at 05:37PM Report as inappropriate

Glad to see some affordable options.

by krycekov Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 05:55PM Report as inappropriate

Mmm i'll try some out!

by yckitsmary Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 09:35PM Report as inappropriate

Completely agree abt Vaseline....

by debjosh Friday, April 1, 2011 at 03:47AM Report as inappropriate

Lots of good products listed here and a few I have not tried out before. I have heard good things about Clinique skin care so I might try that out sometime soon. :]

by pynkNymphette Monday, March 14, 2011 at 05:41AM Report as inappropriate

Great picks! I have to try a few of these!

by missiongirl87 Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 03:19PM Report as inappropriate

I don't like the Paul Mitchel serum :( Makes my hair look like it has not been washed for ages

by ArmenianGal Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 05:22PM Report as inappropriate

First off, this was a GREAT article!!! I never realized that Vaseline was so versatile! I want to try wearing it on my face over-night and see how it works. I own quite a few of the products mentioned and it made me feel good that they were on this list. The CHI iron is quite possibly the greatest investment I've ever made!! I have super thick, curly hair and it used to take me 2 hours to straighten it with other straighteners but this one takes me only 35 minutes!!!! It really is a miracle iron. And I use Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum before & after I iron my hair. It works like a charm and I can't imagine doing my hair without it. Sally's Beauty Supply sells their version of the Super Skinny and I swear it is the exact same product but for half the cost. I compared both of the ingredients and they are exactly the same!!! If you are looking to save money (who isn't these days??), head to Sally's and ask about the generic version of Super Skinny!!! You can thank me later ladies!!! ;-)

by lisa2683 Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 01:53AM Report as inappropriate

vaseline? Yeah I can see that, I use it to take off my eye make up and it works better for me then actual removers do.

by Bon_Bon Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 04:38PM Report as inappropriate

I can't live without the Bare Escentuals Kabuki Brush. Helps powder foundation blend flawlessly into the skin.

by Kristen_F Monday, February 7, 2011 at 04:54PM Report as inappropriate

Herbal Essences is forever my fave hair brand!

by CliniqueLover Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 03:12PM Report as inappropriate

Vaseline is the ONLY thing you ever need. I've removed my makeup for 40 years with it and I have practically no lines or wrinkles around my eyes. Another tip: when you go into the shower, wet your face and then put on a thin layer of Vaseline - finish showering and then run hot water on your face to melt off the excess. Pat dry with a towel and stand back and marvel. Just remember...a thin coat of Vaseline!
