Selfridges introduces Vaseline Pink Bubbly
I really love it when an old favourite re-imagines itself and gets a whole new look. That is exactly what has happened to that beauty essential Vaseline Lip Therapy. There can’t be any woman who hasn’t got a little pot of this in their handbag, but now you can get it in a gorgeous rose flavour at Selfridges, for a limited time only. Vaseline ‘Pink Bubbly’ is just gorgeous! A lovely rosé hue, giving you a sense of sparkling pink champagne, this both smells and tastes fabulous (although you should resist the urge to keep licking your lips…) and helps you to maintain that perfect pout. The tin has also…
