I don't mind petroleum jelly for the most part but I do wished it rubbed better into my skin afterwards instead of feeling slimy.

Waxelene has both a 2 oz jar ($8.99) and a 9 oz jar ($17.99) that may be my answer to my petroleum jelly issue. You can purchase it on their website or stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, cvs/Pharmacy and Bed Bath & Beyond. They are cruelty free as well.You can like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for more information.
I always use petroleum jelly, but I think every (water free/no emulsion) fat can be used.I'm actually wanting tontry a soft pink lipgloss I don't like...XD
ReplyDeleteI don't find my fingers that slimy or greasy afterwards... hmm.
First I scrape the grease and polish with a wooden stick off.
When everything is dry-ish, I wipe the remains into a tissue.
But everybody's skin and preferences are different. I just would rather look for an alternative in the house, before buying something new, but that's me, since I find these things a challenge :-)
Thanks for showing anyway! :-)))
Yeah, vaseline ks greasy, and it doesn't get absorbed by the skin. I tried some white craft glue once, but it was water soluble and no, it didnt just dissolve, but it stuck my fingers together in the water, since I marble my fingers generally more than one at a time... Im thinking of using one of the lipglosses I don't like wearing... lets see ^^
ReplyDeleteOoh let me know!
ReplyDeleteOk, you'll find it on my blog, too, just in case I forget ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut I think lipgloss should work fine, plus you can see where you have covered and where not.
Just don't use a stainer ;-)
