eye makeup remover
I’ve been trying to do a better job of washing my face every night. (Flossing my teeth too!) But my problem always is that I can’t get my eye makeup off. See? It takes a lot of mascara to get those babies looking even this long.
I used to use a makeup remover made by Beauti Control, but I never wanted to track down a rep to reorder it. I’ve saved my bottle from the last time I had ordered, so I decided to utilize that great container and make my own. I can’t for the life of me find where I got this recipe, but it’s wonderful! I’ve customized it to my preference for baby shampoo and oil:
2 Tbs Burts Bees Baby Wash
1/4tsp sweet almond oil
1 cup distilled water
Mix together and store in an airtight container. Saturate a cotton pad, let rest on your eye for a few seconds and the makeup swishes right off.
Environmentally friendly and cheap too!

Your rep was probably Mia. =) I’m so excited, I’m going to try your recipe. I have some stuff from the Body Shop and it doesn’t work very well. And stings terribly! YAY for Allison
