Tour My Medicine Cabinet with Vaseline Total Moisture, Plus A Giveaway!

Posted by

August 1, 2012

UPDATE 8/16/12: We have our giveaway winners! Picked at random, the winners are: #33 Tina, #81 donna k, ~~#90 Ria~~ #4 Tara , #100 j and #47 Cheyenne! Please check your email for further instructions from me on how to claim your prize. Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered, I'm glad I'm not the only lotion hoarder out there

Please note: The giveaway portion of this post has ended and is now closed to further entries.

Did you know that over one-third of women admit to having more than 20 products stored in their medicine cabinet? For me, the number is much, much higher. Recently I had the chance to test drive a new product that has helped me cut down on at least one category of beauty products, namely, lotions. Almost one-fourth of women say they own more than four lotions, and I think I counted at least 13 in my own cabinet (granted, I'm a blogger, but still. A bit unnecessary LOL).

Vaseline Total Moisture is the only lotion you need because it feels good on skin and does good for skin. Sometimes women feel they have to make a tradeoff between a lotion that feels good, or one that works well - but Vaseline Total Moisture does both.

I've been using Vaseline Total Moisture on all my nooks and crannies, from my hands down to the my feet, and have found it delivers a clean feeling formula that leaves my skin feeling healthy and soft. The oat variety combines pure oat extract and Stratys-3 multi-layer moisture complex for 24 hour moisturization that never feels greasy and won't wash off easily (say, when you wash your hands). I like the light fragrance that doesn't linger and the bright, cheerful packaging that my husband won't be afraid to use, either!

Vaseline Total Moisture is affordable, too, available in three sizes: 3 ox ($1.99), 10 oz ($3.99), 20.3 oz ($6.99) and 32 oz ($7.79).

I couldn't just rave about something without sharing, so I'm excited to be able to offer a fun giveaway for 5 lucky readers!

To enter: Tell me how many lotions you have in your own medicine cabinet in the comments section below.

The prize: Five (5) lucky winners will each receive one prize package, each including one (1) 10 oz. bottle of Vaseline Total Moisture, plus other fab beauty goodies.

Good luck!

Keep reading to take a tour of my de-cluttered medicine cabinet...

1. Willa Face Wash: A gentle refreshing cleanser that feels luxe. I use this before bed in the summer to clean my skin without over-drying.

2. Aubrey Shave Cream: Makes shaving fun. Leaves my legs soft and smooth.

3. Vaseline Total Moisture: Slather this on my hands, elbows, knees and feet to keep my summer skin looking smooth and silky. Great for travel, too, since it's good for everything!

4. Suave Keratin Infusion Heat Defense Leave-In Conditioner: There are no perfect products but this tames my frizz without weighing down my hair. I use it each time I blow-dry.

5. Julep 'Georgia' Nail Vernis: A pretty coral polish with a hint of shimmer that's great for hands and toes. Easy application and long lasting.

6. Julep Lip Vernis 'Poppy': I'm just getting into matching my nails to my lips and I'm hooked. This is the perfect partner to 'Georgia' and so summery.

7. Miracle Skin Transformer: I use this because I'm lazy. It's a decent tinted moisturizer with SPF that feels really smooth and silky, even if it doesn't provide the same coverage as foundation.

about a dozen - but I discovered lots of tubes and bottles clogging my cabinet that are allllmost empty. Time to use those up!

#2 Brunette on 2012-08-01 11:13 (Reply)

I have 5 lotions

#3 Daniella on 2012-08-01 11:18 (Reply)

I only have one lotion- it's True Blue Spa Lay It On Thick. It's the BEST! I don't know what I'll ever do if they discontinue it!

#4 Tara on 2012-08-01 11:22 (Reply)

Way too many that's for sure. I wish I had a medicine cabinet to keep them all in! They are in three locations in my apartment that I know of...

#5 Cat on 2012-08-01 11:24 (Reply)

I have at least 6-7 lotions. Just switched from Jergens to Aveeno because I'm looking for more natural products. Will definitely have to try Vaseline Total Moisture though - since it seems like it's the best of both worlds!

#6 Stephanie on 2012-08-01 11:29 (Reply)

I have 3

#7 Jeannie on 2012-08-01 11:31 (Reply)

I really only have one lotion that i use - Curel. I probably have about 50 other little ones from hotels as well

#8 Kelsey T on 2012-08-01 11:42 (Reply)

#9 Kiran on 2012-08-01 11:42 (Reply)

I have 7 but only use 2 of them! True story

#10 Curly Chic (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 11:50 (Reply)

#11 Phoebe on 2012-08-01 11:58 (Reply)

IN MY CABINET I HAVE 4. IN MY PURSE 2. IN MY CAR 3. ON MY NIGHT STAND (DOES HAND CREAM COUNT?) 3. JUST SHAMEFUL.

#12 SHAVON (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 11:59 (Reply)

Too many! I have 6! I only use about 3 on a regular basis. I have a ton of "back up" sample lotions to try. At least a cosmetics bag full.

#13 Jennifer on 2012-08-01 12:02 (Reply)

Forty bajillion lotions in my bathroom cabinet. That's a pretty good estimate. I am currently using Vaseline Aloe after suffering a nasty sunburn a few weeks ago. C'est la summer.

#14 Taryn on 2012-08-01 12:04 (Reply)

I have 6...and how many do I use? Not that many. Yipes!

#15 Kristin MH on 2012-08-01 12:12 (Reply)

I think I have at least 4 open right now, more packed away in my closet for further use, haha. I have a Cetaphil pump, Jergens shea butter, Lubriderm SPF lotion, and a Nivea tanning lotion haha!

#16 Kay (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 12:18 (Reply)

Right now I have 2 main lotions: Nivea Skin Firming & Victoria's Secret Pink Beach Babe. I also have a few miscellaneous lotions I have had stored up for months. I always seem to change brands each time I run out so to find a good one to use continually would be awesome!

#17 Leiah on 2012-08-01 12:19 (Reply)

I don't have any in my medicine cabinet but I have 3 lying around the house!

#18 Jessica on 2012-08-01 12:20 (Reply)

SOMEHOW i only have 2 right now ... cetaphil body moisturizer and some free sample face lotion i won. oh and an eye cream. and a beauty balm. so maybe 4?

#19 lindsay on 2012-08-01 12:33 (Reply)

I only have 2! Woo! But one is too scent-y and I rarely use it, just when my legs and arms are super dry.

#20 AnneB on 2012-08-01 12:42 (Reply)

I have 4...and if you count hand cream and foot cream, 6!

#21 Shauna W on 2012-08-01 12:54 (Reply)

Six! And they each end up in a different portion of my apartment... I'd love to be able to stick to just one!

#22 anbreen on 2012-08-01 13:09 (Reply)

Lol! I also have this problem.
I counted 9 different lotions in my cabinet.

#28 Kelly Rashka (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 14:25 (Reply)

As an Avon Rep I am not even going to answer that...no seriously, I have a few dozen but not stored in my medicine cabinet. I keep them atop the counter...in the medicine cabinet...on a 3 shelf by the shower...in the linen closet in my bathroom...in the linen closet in my son's bathroom...unused to be sold in the library...lol

#29 Antionette Blake (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 14:27 (Reply)

I have two in my cabinet, three on my dresser, and one on my night stand plus two bottles in my purse! I didn't realize how many I had until I read this.

#30 Andrea Waits on 2012-08-01 14:29 (Reply)

I have one body lotion in my shower so I can use while I'm still damp. I have two others in my bathroom that I rotate with the one in my shower and I have about three more in my drawer waiting for the others to be used up.

#31 Anne on 2012-08-01 15:39 (Reply)

Body lotions: 4, Face lotions: 4 - but I don't even want to know how many half used travel sizes I have under my sink!

#32 Elise on 2012-08-01 15:55 (Reply)

with pen & pad in hand heads to bathroom to compile a list
1. Kiehls Super Fluid UV Defense
2. Jergens Ultra Healing
3. Bath & Body Works Paris Amour
4. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Body Cream
5. Nature's Way Coconut Oil Organic Extra Virgin
6. Another Kiehls Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion
7. Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Cracked Heel Treatment AND Super Rich Foot Cream
Not going to even go any farther than that.....serious moisture seeker here

#33 Tina on 2012-08-01 16:26 (Reply)

i have 7 lotions but only use like 2 or 3 of them lol

#34 steffany rivera on 2012-08-01 16:32 (Reply)

I have five of them and use each one at some point during the day and week. The best one is Amlactin for my severe dry skin.

#35 Penny on 2012-08-01 16:34 (Reply)

Believe it or not, I only have one! It's the Suave Advanced Therapy Body Lotion. I have EXTREMELY dry hands that often crack and bleed during the winter (not so pretty) and this is the only one that seems to sink into my skin right away and doesn't come off if I have to wash my hands soon after applying. I've never tried the Vaseline one, but I'd sure like to!

#36 Nikki on 2012-08-01 16:41 (Reply)

I have two in the current rotation. But otherwise I probably have about 15! All different ones! Some I won in giveaways and others I simply couldn't resist! If hand cream counts too, the number is way higher!

#37 Donna F. on 2012-08-01 16:44 (Reply)

I switch off between two different moisturizers and have about three more in the closet.

#38 Adele on 2012-08-01 16:45 (Reply)

i have six lotions... five too many

#39 erica (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 16:50 (Reply)

I have a tinted lotion and many many different lotions from Bath and Body Works... so a total of 7! Honestly, I only use one... The one on my desk at work!

#40 Linda on 2012-08-01 17:26 (Reply)

Including shimmery, tinted, and unscented weekday lotions, I have 7. Not too bad..

#41 Alicia M. on 2012-08-01 17:32 (Reply)

I have three lotions. One is unscented which I use all the time. The other two have fragrance which I use for going out/special occasions.

#42 Genny on 2012-08-01 17:51 (Reply)

I have 5, but I use Nivea the most.

#43 Natalee on 2012-08-01 17:51 (Reply)

I have 12 =/

#44 kathryn young on 2012-08-01 17:59 (Reply)

I have 4 lotions on my vanity. I find that I normally use just one.

#45 Markisha on 2012-08-01 18:05 (Reply)

7! They all have their time and place..right?

#46 Kelly on 2012-08-01 18:39 (Reply)

I have 2 in my medicine cabinet..6 in my hallway closet!

#47 Cheyenne on 2012-08-01 19:13 (Reply)

I'm (almost) embarrased to say that I have 17 bottles of lotion right now. Thanks for the giveaway!

#48 Melissa (Homepage) on 2012-08-01 20:15 (Reply)

I have 4 lotions in my cabinet- but for different things! Day, night, extra moisture, and for eyes.

#49 Natalie G on 2012-08-01 20:56 (Reply)

Two is my number! I feel like I don't have enough of a variety though. Or maybe I feel that way because the two are just mediocre!

#50 Monica on 2012-08-01 23:59 (Reply)

Wow! I didn't think I had too many, but it turns out I do! I have 6. A big vat of Kiehls, a freebie tub from Sephora, Bath and Body foot lotion, Vaseline Intensive Moisture fragrance free, lavander hand cream, and a Kiehls hand cream. Not including all my face moisturizers!

#51 Jessica A on 2012-08-02 00:39 (Reply)

I have 5 now.

#52 Jessie C. on 2012-08-02 01:25 (Reply)

I have about 5 different ones!

#53 Jeanette on 2012-08-02 02:02 (Reply)

Umm this is a tad embarassing but I had 17! Several of them were free lotions from hotels though that I keep around for easy carry-on sized items when I travel.

#54 Rachel from Love a la mode (Homepage) on 2012-08-02 02:10 (Reply)

I love Vaseline moisturizers! In fact, I'm using their Aloe one right now haha. I have at least 5 lotions in my cupboard, but they're extras, not actively used ones so does that count? Otherwise, I just use my Vaseline and a foot lotion on a daily basis.

Also, maybe your readers might be interested in my Lush makeup giveaway?

#55 MizzJ (Homepage) on 2012-08-02 02:17 (Reply)

I have 6 lotions, I can't get enough! I love them especially body butters! Smells yummy and makes your skin feeling super smooth!

#56 Denise Go on 2012-08-02 03:24 (Reply)

It looks like I have one of everything!!! Tried them all, but not this Vaseline one!

#57 PLH on 2012-08-02 04:45 (Reply)

Three!

#58 ter g on 2012-08-02 05:34 (Reply)

I have three, one of which came from a perfume set. But I try to use them up before I buy another to keep the number down haha.

#59 Sarah Oliveira on 2012-08-02 08:00 (Reply)

I own like 5 bottles of lotion including the yellow Vaseline one up there. But I hardly use them becuse I am deeply in love with my Avon Lemon Sugar body butter...it takes the prize!

#60 Jessica Garcia on 2012-08-02 08:12 (Reply)

Ok so in my medicine cabinet there are no lotions. My linen closet however is a different story... 23! That's just crazy! Haha! Almost all of them are just extraand of course a good chunk of those are baby lotions because I got a ton at my shower.

#61 Amanda Boerst on 2012-08-02 08:22 (Reply)

I have six total! Four scented lotions, one unscented, one tub of Cetaphil, and one Neutrogena pump.

#62 Meghan on 2012-08-02 08:39 (Reply)

Wow, I cannot count! I have 7 total.

Going to drink my coffee now.

5 or 6 (that I'm currently using) -- it can be nice to have a little variety sometimes

I have over 10 bottles of lotion! The ones I acutally use are Neutrogena for my face and Jergens for my body, but I also have a lot of random half-used ones from Bath & Body Works and such!

#66 Rachel on 2012-08-02 09:03 (Reply)

About 3 or 4 at any given time.

#67 Karla on 2012-08-02 09:37 (Reply)

I think I have four different lotions right now, which I don't think is too bad! The only one I really use, though, is my Body Shop Coconut Body Butter.

#68 Emily on 2012-08-02 09:52 (Reply)

I got 5,

- Cocoa Butter Lotion
- PRTTY PEAUSHUN skintight Lotion

I have 6!

#72 xenia on 2012-08-02 10:56 (Reply)

I don't have enough!! I have one lotion that I use for everything, which therefore runs out really really fast, plus one with shimmer. Truthfully I could use a new one and Vaseline Total Moisture sounds perfect!!

#73 Lindsey Younger on 2012-08-02 10:56 (Reply)

I have 3 body lotions and 2 face lotions. Would love to try this new one!

#77 Sarah on 2012-08-02 11:48 (Reply)

Hi! I probably have 3-4 lotions in our bathroom cabinet, currently. Also,
most of them have gotten too old!
Many thanks, Cindi

#78 Cindi on 2012-08-02 12:20 (Reply)

Guilty of having about 5-6 half full or so. Love the scented type body lotions, but then hate that I can't put on my fav perfume. Trying to find a really good lightly scented lotion for the whole family that keeps the skin moisturized without feeling heavy and greasy.

#79 Pat on 2012-08-02 13:40 (Reply)

I used to have about twelve bottles...
Now it's all gone! My sister had this one bottle she fell in love with, tried it even though I thought I'd never buy it for myself (department store random brand) and it's my ultimate ever since: Dial Nutriskin Bionutrient complex for dry skin!!! Great smell, silky touch, super absorbent... And not expensive!!!

#80 Michele on 2012-08-02 13:59 (Reply)

I stopped at 12.. I have 4 on my bed stand.. now if you counted all the 2oz sizes and all the face moisturizes also.. Lordy,Lordy I have oodles..
I can't help myself..If there is a sale or bogo especially with coupons.. and if they smell oh so nice i just gotta buy it..right?

I'm embarrassed to have so many..thanks for the guilt trip.. ha ha

#81 donna k on 2012-08-02 14:12 (Reply)

I have 2 body lotions and 4 face lotions. With a ton of samples in my cabinet, too!

#87 Ashley on 2012-08-02 21:12 (Reply)

I have three lotions in my medicine cabinet: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Body Lotion, Jergens Revitalizing Natural Glow Moisturizer Medium to Tan Skin Tones and Banana Boat Soothing Aloe After Sun Lotion.

The Vaseline lotion is perfect to use after showering. The Jergens lotion is great when you want a hint of a tan without laying out and the Banana Boat lotion is the best relief for when you spend a little too much time in the sun.

#88 Melissa Sullivan on 2012-08-02 23:42 (Reply)

I have 6 lotions in my cabinet! I hardly use any sadly... but my favorite is MILK (which sadly I don't own) and AVEENO (which is the one I use)

#89 klutziekong on 2012-08-02 23:50 (Reply)

Way too many to count, but I lose them often (don't ask), so I have to have many.

#90 Ria (Homepage) on 2012-08-03 02:20 (Reply)

7 body lotions and 5 facial lotions but that's only in the medicine cabinet...luckily you didn't ask about the lower cabinets, vanity, purse, office desk...lol.

#91 Lisa on 2012-08-03 14:40 (Reply)

Just Aveeno in my cabinet! I used to use Vaseline, but found the consistency too watery. May have to give this another try.

#92 Sarah on 2012-08-03 21:31 (Reply)

I have two body lotions - one is Vaseline, actually! And three face lotions.

#93 Elise B. on 2012-08-04 00:03 (Reply)

Let's see:
*facial*- Mary Kay Timewise
*Body*- Mary Kay hydrating love it but too much fragrance
Vaseline total moisture conditioning

funny that i just came across this post today, as i did a little "summer" cleaning yesterday. today, i have 2 lotions: my Vaseline Cocoa Butter and my Gold Bonds foot cream. Yesterday, i had about 7 random lotions, either with a smidgen of lotion in it, or something i didn't use as often.

I have one lotion and one cream.

#102 Kathy S on 2012-08-06 20:38 (Reply)

I really do not have many lotions at all. I twns to like something and stick with that. At the moment I have 3 different lotions and my fav at the moment is from the store Sabon and it was a gift from someone and I cant slather myself enough with it. Between the amazing soft smell and the moisturizing effects im a lotion lunatic at the moment. I am always down to try something new though. I can finish this one and fall in love with something else. I think you have to switch things around, otherwise the same old thing is the sme old thing. And I am not the same old thing :0)

#103 Madlen on 2012-08-07 07:48 (Reply)

I own about 10 different lotions. I am a certified product junkie lol.

#104 Miosha on 2012-08-07 07:57 (Reply)

None in my medicine cabinet. Two in my home.

#105 Teresa on 2012-08-07 08:07 (Reply)

I have 15. Until this contest I haven't realized how much lotion I have bought in order to keep my skin moisturized and having a healthy glow.

#106 Jacquelynn on 2012-08-07 08:11 (Reply)

I have eleven! About half are various scents from Bath and Body Works, and then there is a Nivea, Neutrogena, Olay, and Jergen's (the one with a touch of sunless tanner). I am a moisturizing fanatic : )

#107 Stephanie on 2012-08-07 08:48 (Reply)

I have 1 lotion!

#108 Lydia (Homepage) on 2012-08-07 09:47 (Reply)

I'm embarrassed to admit...8!

#109 Nicole F on 2012-08-07 20:40 (Reply)

I have two that I use regularly, and about 5 minis that I carry from time to time in my purse. I am obsessed with moisturizing daily, however, after that one time after showering, I rarely apply throughout the day. I do love Vaseline products though and total moisture is amazing.

#110 Katie @ Mizz Sunshine (Homepage) on 2012-08-08 00:01 (Reply)

Only 1 that I use everyday.

#111 Kristy on 2012-08-08 16:33 (Reply)

Yikes! 11 lotions!

#112 Shannon on 2012-08-10 10:34 (Reply)

I have way to many to count! under my sink on the counter, in my purse, on my nightstand and on my desk. My favs are from Bath & Body - I love the Lemon Vanilla. Others are from Aveda and Neutragena. Hotel lotions too!

#113 Josie on 2012-08-12 19:32 (Reply)

I have 6 lotions - one that I use regularly for dry skin, and several scented ones I love to put on to relax! I go through the scented ones pretty quickly though
