I’m always looking for a way to save money. One of the best ways to do that is to reuse something.
I think every new mother gets a tube of lanolin nursing ointment and many don’t use the entire tube. My sister told me not to throw mine away. Her advice, use it for just about everything. My first reaction, “gross!” But if you think about it—the tube doesn’t come in contact with your boobs so why not?
I keep a tube in the car—this morning I put some on my son’s chapped lips. He hates it but it works. I also put it on his boo-boos, my lips, my cuticles, dry skin spots etc. It’s a miracle ointment! So if you have a tube for your boobs—keep it around—you never know.
Get a teeny little pot(or re use the sample pots they give you at the cosmetic counter)
squeeze some lansinoh in there
scrape off a bit of about 3 shades of lipstick: a brown, a pink, and shimmery gold, for example
microwave for about 10-15 seconds(just long enough to melt it a little)
stir it up wth a lipbrush and adjust color if you need to.
Pretty. and cheap. Just like you, Elizabeth.
