I am here to help to try and explain the myth of Vaseline; why you either love it or hate it, and to also tell you why I, the wonderful (pfff) MissTopaz can't go anywhere without it in my handbag.

I purchased mine from Boots for the most wonderfully reasonable price of 99p. I can say it was the price which attracted me to Vaseline first, and as I will confirm later, it is definitely the best value for money!!! You can buy it from general chemist stores or any Boots. The two standard packaging designs for the Vaseline Lip Therapy are the standard blue and white, or the ...

...so I decided to try Vaseline Petroleum Jelly lip Therapy with Aloe Vera, mainly because I liked the look of the little pocket sized tin....dinky.
****** Brief Background******
Vaseline was discovered in 1859 by Robert Chesebrough in Pennyslylvania. Whilst trying to strike oil he became fascinated with the thick gloopy petroleum goop that used to stick to the base of the rigs, causing them to sieze. He realised that if you rubbed it on a cut or ... ...Therapy with Aloe Vera , Vaseline are emblazoned accros the front of the tin in white. This is a pretty looking and dinky little tin.

Opening the lid you are faced with a very pleasant smelling, slightly sweet, yellowish green ,jelly like substance. Using a finger you only need to take a tiny amount and smear across the affected lips..mmmmmmm..lovely ...

...simply a choice between the Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera or simply the Vaseline Lip Therapy on it's own. I personally decided to purchase the Aloe Vera version solely because I cannot stand the smell of Vaseline on its own (to me it smells like rotting animal guts).

I am a fan of vaseline lip care, which I use regularly, but have a pot that is at teast 3/4 full and will last ages. Yesterday I wandered over to Boots the Chemist with the sole intention of purchasing a birthday gift for someone. There was nothing, they must only stock things over Christmas in gift packages. Our Boots is only a small branch though. Feeling frustrated and not wanting to leave empty handed, my eagle eye scanned the shelves and spotted ... ...Well I already use the vaseline lip therapy and am really pleased with it. It is very much the same in appearance, except the pots are different colours, the aloe vera one is in green and white whereas the original is blue and white. It is in a little metal tin and the lid lifts off. It is quite easy to lift off, though but as the tin is so small (20g) sometimes it is a bit difficult to hold on to, so I insert my nail to lift it up, its alright if ...

...it was little tins of Vaseline Lip Therapy. I had read numerous opinions here on Ciao so I decided to try a tin. So putting the display next to the counter had worked then! I chose Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera in the green and white tin as I do like Aloe Vera. It only cost me 96p for 20g so I figured that, if I didn't like it, I hadn't wasted much money on it.
It is also available in the same size and price in a blue and white tin without ... ...bear thinking about does it? Vaseline all over your bits and pieces! Don't even go there!

It is a yellowish green in colour and has a very pleasant sweet smell. Although the product looks like standard Vaseline it is not as stiff for want of a better word ...

...the Aloe Vera version of Vaseline Lip Therapy, but the pot I have here was sent to me as part of a product test so I had to use it for a few weeks. While I am a fan of the Vaseline Lip Therapy mini pots, I won't be buying this one again. Instead I'll be sticking to the original variety.

I was slightly worried that, being Aloe Vera flavour, the petroleum jelly hidden within the tub was going to be a nasty shade of green! My fears turned out to be unfounded, as the product itself looks no different that the original variety. It's also of the same consistency.
On the other hand, its smell is very different - this is ...

HISTORY
+++++++
Vaseline is petroleum jelly. Petroleum Jelly was first discovered in 1859 in America, apparantly it caused problems for the oil riggers as it caused the rigs to cease up, but they loved using it on their hands!! A chemist named Cheesebourogh discovered the healing properties of Petroleum Jelly and opened a factory in 1870 to make Vaseline. Apparantly he ate a teaspoonful of it every day. Yuck!!
According to some sources, ... ...THIS PRODUCT
+++++++++++++
Vaseline Lip Therapy is widely available from chemists for 99p.
It comes in a small round 20g tin, which is a handy size to keep in a bag or a pocket. Be warned though, if you keep it in your pocket all night when you are sitting down, it will melt!!! Mine is now all in the lid, rather than the tin itself!!
The tin is green to show that it has Aloe Vera in it, and to distinguish it from the normal blue vaseline, which ...

Vaseline has got to be one of those products that I would take with me to the grave. Honestly I love it and (this is pretty sad) but I actually feel incomplete when I don't have my trusty little pot of Vaseline with me.
I think that most people probably know about Vaseline and its uses but if you don't then believe me you are missing out big time!
I hate having chapped or dry lips, it has to be one of the most disgusting feelings possible. Living ... ...Another great thing is that Vaseline is so cheap and easy to get hold of. They sell it in lots of places like chemists and supermarkets and I haven't really seen it costing much more than a pound. It also last quite some time because you don't need to use huge amounts each times which makes it somewhat of a long term investment.
You can buy it in the standard form or you can buy it with aloe vera. Personally I prefer the aloe vera type but each ...

In recent years although Vaseline Lip Therapy has always had a place in my make up bag, I have turned to lip glosses and lip sticks.

...you today about the new Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera.
Yes, it's another one I discovered a few weeks back in Superdrug (contrary to what may now be popular belief, I don't live there!).
I don't know how many are already familiar with the Vaseline pocket-packs in their little blue and white tins. I've been using it for ages for all sorts of things - as a moisturiser when I'm desperate, on my lips (of course) and as a conditioner at bed time ... ...It's different to the original Vaseline in a few ways. Firstly, the tin is green and white, instead of blue and white.
When I first used it I thought it tasted a bit odd as well. It's a very pale green colour to start with and has a 'smell' to it, which the traditional Vaseline doesn't. Flavour-wise, it has a perfumed taste that sort of turns slightly citrussy. I didn't like this at all at first and thought it'd prevent me from using it, but its ...

This review is on the Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera. I brought this lip treatment a while ago and i use it all the time, all throughout the day. It is petroleum jelly and is amazing! I mentioned in a previous that the Palmers Lip Butter was my favourite, but i have to say that this has taken over. Aloe Vera is very good for softening the skin. It is a natural ingredient that soothes and calms. My lips are the driest and always get chapped. ... ...drying, put some of this vaseline on at the start of your make-up routine and by the time you go to put the lipstick on it should have sunk in a little. Then once the lipstick is on just dab a tiny amount of the vaseline onto the top to set the lipstick in place. It gives a nice gloss without makeing you look like you have dribbled!
Buy this product. It will revolutionise your lip world!
Thanks for reading :-) ...
