Vaseline Essential Moisture Clean Feeling Lotion Review

Hey Everyone!

I'm a fan of any kind of freebies: free perfume samples, free printables, even the occasional free biscuit in M&S. So you can imagine my delight when I found these bad boys in my goodie bag after doing a 5k race. They are very, very generous sizes for samples so I managed to get a lot of use out of them and give them a proper road test.

Firstly, the packaging consists of a pale yellow tube with a squeezy (such technical language) top that gives you some basic product information. I don't think its the nicest packaging in the world and wouldn't be particularly drawn to it if I saw it in Boots but it does the job. The fact that its small does make it a lot cuter though. The lid does get quite messy when you're nearing the end of the product though which is slightly annoying.

The actual cream is light, fresh and has a beautiful scent that make me immediately think of summer. The lotion has a nice consistency, particularly for this time of year- not too thick. It therefore absorbs super quickly which is a big plus for me. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the skin which is also lovely. 

Best of all- it does what it says on the tin (or tube) and moisturises skin and keeps it soft. For the price, I think this is a great product and now that I've used up my samples I want to buy the full sized one, and maybe even try other varieties. Let's face it- for £2.99- you can't go wrong!

Have you tried this?

FOTD | Brown Smokey Eye and Bright Red Lip

Today's face is an up scaled version of my everyday make up; something more suited to night or a special event. Although I usually stick to the prominent eyes or prominent lips rule, its always good to mix things up and experiment and I actually am pleasantly surprised with how the smokey eyes and bright lip work in harmony with each other.

Hehe I always think closed-eye pictures look really funny as if I've taken this while sleeping- but I assure you I was in fact just showing my smokey eye!

What I'm wearing:
Bourjois Flower Perfection Foundation in Shade 52
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light
Avon Translucent Powder
Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush in Rose D'Or
MUA Eye Shadow Trio in Pink Sorbet (used as highlighter)
