Beauty Tidbits: Budget Eye Cream
After seeing Tyra give free blinged-out jars of Vaseline to the studio audience during an episode of her talk show, I was more than a little concerned about her sanity level that day…
I also was inspired to revisit a beauty tidbit I had once learned a few years back…
Applying petroleum jelly to the eye area before bedtime is supposed to keep the delicate eye area nurtured and moisturized and for the most part it does. I’ve been on this kick for a couple months now and the skin around my eyes feels much softer. Petroleum jelly is really gentle and basic, so you probably won’t have some kind of weird allergy to it.
The only thing is that petroleum jelly is, well, greasy. There’s something a bit unsettling about putting grease practically in my eyes that I don’t think I will ever quite get over, but that may be just me : )
However, caring for the eye area is important! Especially if you want to look younger longer (who doesn’t?!) Those of you on a budget or who haven’t found the right eye cream yet, this tidbit is especially for you.
So, give Vaseline a try and let me know what you think!

Concerned about her sanity level huh? Tyra has clearly lost her mind. “YOU get Vaseline, and YOU get Vaseline, and YOU get Vaseline, and YOU get VASELINEEEEEEEEE!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!”
I mean sure, its exciting. Look if got a $100 bedazzled jar of Vaseline, I’d…beeee…grateful?…I guess? However,…what you will not see me doing, is rolling around on the floor in pajamas, screaming like a spoiled brat in the toy aisle of your neighborhood store. It was like for 2 minutes and 25 seconds, Tyra totally forgot all her home training.
Have you ever seen somebody act so out of pocket that you get embarrassed for them? Even though it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Yea…well, that’s exactly where The Kid was at through that entire clip. If Tyra keeps this foolishness up, they are definitely going to take away her show. Truly an uncomfortable moment.
Agreed. Tyra is a mess. Plumb crazy. A talk show does NOT a newswoman make.
Now U.O., you’re telling me your parents never slathered Vaseline all over you in your youth? My Mom used to coat us in that stuff, and I’m still a believer (especially now that Vaseline comes scented! Lavender and chalmomile? I’m all over it). But anyway, yeah, I use it to remove eye makeup & waterproof mascara, and then just leave the excess grease on b/c you’re right, it does keep that area moisturiized.

Yeah…we definitely need to compare notes. Cheers!
LoL!
Yes, Prince Akil & Nnenna, Tyra was a little out of pocket during that clip
and, Nnenna, my parents were more of the Baby Oil type, but we got the Vaseline slatherings, too
i’ve been meaning to get the scented ones…yum…
