Casa Quickie: Slug Safe

CasaSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:00:47 PDT

While flowers gardens may be pretty, and herb gardens yummy, one of the realities of gardening is that bugs are inevitable (and gross). I've shown you before how to make homemade aphid spray, but that's not a solution to all insect problems. One garden annoyance I tend to encounter is slugs. You can keep slugs and snails from intruding on your potted plants by smearing your outdoor planter's outer rim with a bit of Vaseline (petroleum jelly). The household ointment will keep the little guys from slithering by and your plants safe from the slugs! Do you have another effective method for banishing slugs?

Flashback: Tyra's Vaseline Intensive Scare

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:00:00 PDT

It didn't happen very long ago, but Tyra's "big" beauty giveaway already warrants a flashback. She gave every member in her audience - wait for it, wait for it - a crystal bedazzled jar of Vaseline. You're jealous, I'm sure. But Tyra went wild, her audience went wild, and I wouldn't be surprised if the producers had to bring in stink bombs and taser guns to halt the nonsensical madness that followed. Watch the real deal here and then check out the animated interpretation below.

Doing Drugstore: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Smoothing Body Butter

BellaSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:08:14 PDT

Vaseline is about to come out with two additions to its Cocoa Butter line of lotions, and one of them is now on my repeat-buy list. I was able to sample its Cocoa Butter Smoothing Body Butter ($6.99), which will be available in stores any day now. It features a blend of cocoa and shea butters, which gives off a light and pleasant fragrance. For some reason, the scent reminds me of tropical beaches-which isn't a bad thing at all!

Like other body butters, it has a smooth texture and melts from the heat of your body. Unlike some other ones, though, this one doesn't feel greasy. I liked how easily it absorbed into my skin, and more importantly, how little of it is needed to get the job done. I definitely recommend using less product than you think you might need. You really don't need more than about a fingertip's worth to cover an entire leg, which means one eight-ounce container will last for a long time. If you have very dry, difficult-to-moisturize skin, try this out and let me know what you think. I have a feeling you're going to like it.

How To: Make Your Cosmetic Containers Sparkle

BellaSugar — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 09:00:00 PDT

A lot of you are in love with the crystal-adorned Vaseline container from Monday's blush post, so I thought I'd tell you how you can make it at home. In fact, you could dress up almost any classic beauty buy this way, making even the most routine grooming products into objets d'art in your loo.

Swarovski makes crystals that you can individually glue onto the Vaseline container, but i think this approach takes too much time and money. Do you really want to spend hours messing with glue? Instead, the quick and easy way to get the rhinestone effect is to buy a set of peel-and-stick acrylic crystals. You will need about 300 small clear crystals and around 125 blue ones. Before you start application, be sure to clean the container so that you don't have any random petroleum jelly stains. From there, it's a simple (if tedious) process of peeling and sticking each crystal onto the jar. Start at the bottom and work your way up; this way, you can easily hold the container still. And that's it, really! It's easy, inexpensive and fabulous-an honor the humble Vaseline jar has probably never had bestowed upon it before.

Get The Most From Your Makeup: Broken Blush

BellaSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:00:57 PDT

Ever buy a new powder blush and almost immediately drop it on the ground... and watch it fall apart into a million little pieces in the container? If so, don't despair! Here's a fast fix to help you salvage part of your brand-new purchase.

Take a small jar (about the size of a lip gloss container) and mix whatever powder is salvageable with a little bit of good ol' Vaseline (petroleum jelly). This will turn your blush into a lip gloss or a high-shine cream shadow. I'm not saying that it will look exactly the same, but it's a great way to turn lemons into lemonade!
