DIY Eye Make-up Remover

I'm on a little "make my own stuff" kick.
Have you noticed? You haven't? That's probably b/c I haven't quite finished my batch of DIY laundry detergent. When I do finish, I promise to post about it. (hopefully sometime this year....)
However, I have posted about DIY dishwashing detergent (See here for that.)

And now this...eye make-up remover.

This is incredibly easy, incredibly cheap, and incredibly effective.

I'm running low on eye make-up remover and have been mulling over when is the best time to hike it up to the mall, our nearest Sephora, to get a bottle of their remover. I bought some with a gift card last year and really, really like it. It cleans easily, isn't oily, and it's pretty cheap.
It's not as cheap as this concoction though!

Mix the following ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 1/2 tablespoons of baby shampoo (tear-free)
1/8 teaspoon of olive oil (you can also use coconut oil or baby oil, although apparently there are people up in arms about putting baby oil on your eyes...) *

Anyway, stir that up real well in a bowl and immediately pour some into a tiny bottle.
I say immediately because I think it separates pretty quickly and you want a good mix in your tiny bottle.

Verdict: This cleans really well, there is no oily residue, and it's scented with my kids' shampoo! Who doesn't love clean baby smell?!

*I got the recipe from here.

Not Going Green, Going 360° Clean

My friend Amy recommended this stuff and I am really enjoying it. (I've got the orange, exfoliating variety).



The smell is great.
It cleans really well but doesn't leave my face feeling dry.
And, 2 times in the couple months I've been using it, Bob has said, "man, you're face is so soft!"

I'm not being paid or compensated for reviewing any of these products.

Unfortunate, huh?
