Vaseline Lip Tins Are Finally Available Stateside

I visited London for the first time this fall and instantly fell in love. I fell in love with the charming accents, the tea at Liberty, the vintage shearling jacket I found in Notting Hill, and the retro-looking Vaseline lip balm tins I spotted at the drugstore. The Vaseline Lip Therapy tins have earned plenty of praise from balm devotees over the years, and now you can finally get your hands on them outside of the UK. The days of trolling sketchy sites or stuffing them into your carry-on are officially over!

Now, it’s not just the cute tin that makes this a must-have product — inside is a new and improved version of the Vaseline Jelly formula that has been saving dry skin and chapped lips for years. The balm is super hydrating without leaving lips feeling sticky or greasy. All four varieties of the lip treatment ($3.99) will be sold at drugstores nationwide this month, including Aloe, Rosy (a rose and vanilla scented version with a light pink tint), Cocoa Butter, and Original. You’ll need to think of a new souvenir for your friends the next time you hit up London. (May I suggest Prince Harry?)
