The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The Nostalgic Pink Lip Balm I Keep in Every Bag I used Vaseline Jelly for decades: as eye makeup remover, lip balm, cuticle cream, fly-away tamer, whatever. As my beauty routine evolved, I came to prefer those so-called natural products, trading my do-it-all jar of Vaseline for Trader Joe's virgin unrefined coconut oil. That said, coconut oil is the worst lip balm. I'll use it in a pinch, but it makes me look like I just made out with a hamburger patty -- all the grease, none of the skin-softening moisture I need.
I'm hitting the petroleum jelly jar again, thanks to Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips. I sample a stupid number of lip balms and lip oils at Total Beauty, but no other product can touch Vaseline's game. Metaphorically speaking, this rose-scented, pink-tinted iteration of the original jelly took my favorite tube of natural beeswax lip balm and drop-kicked it into outer space. I still love my coco oil, but Lip Therapy's teeny-weeny jar means there's plenty of room for both in my medicine cabinet. --Katie McCarthy
