After scrounging drawer after drawer of my vanity table, searching for even a Clinique or Lancome sample product, I remembered a homemade eye makeup remover recipe that I used to make all the time. I love this recipe because it only contains three products that almost EVERYONE will have in their house.
Homemade Eye Makeup Remover
1 travel size shampoo container1 cup water
1 1/2 Tbsp. Baby shampoo
1/8 tsp. Olive oil (extra virgin)
Mix all three products together and pour into shampoo container. Ensure that you shake well prior to use so the oil/water combine. Pour on cotton pad and apply to eye area.
Though I would usually never recommend using water to remove eye makeup, when combined with olive oil, it creates the perfect balance. Plus, baby shampoo makes a great cleanser because it's extremely gentle and will never cause your eyes to tear. Together, this concoction makes an inexpensive alternative to the over-priced products on the market AND it works loads better than most brands I've tried in the past.
Have a great weekend, ladies, and let me know your thoughts on this recipe if you try it!!

Hooray! I'll have to remember this! I actually JUST shelled out $10 for the beloved Sonia Kashuk remover. But it's painful every time I do it.. haha.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Friday, love! ♥
You amazing lady!! I'm trying this at the week end :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had baby shampoo I'd give this a try! Another good recipe is half olive oil, half witch hazel. :) Also face moisturizer works well.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! I'll have to try it out :)
ReplyDeleteI just tried it and it really does work like magic! Woww! Mind if I share this recipe (and include your URL, of course)?
ReplyDeleteI have used grape seed oil on a cotton ball for years. Inexpensive and works great, even with waterproof mascara.
