This is a great natural eye makeup remover. Easy to make and easy to use.

Price Category: 1
Difficulty Level: 1
Shelf Life: 6 months

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon castor oil
1 tablespoon light olive oil
2 teaspoons canola oil

2. Apply with soft tissue or cottonball to remove makeup around the eyes.

Jenn's Review: This great recipe really works! It's a little thick, but it does the job. One tip I learned for using this is to apply it with a cotton ball, wait, and then wipe away with a damp cotton ball to remove the oil and makeup. This is especially good to do if you don't want an oily residue left behind. Another thing you can do is substitute grape seed oil for the olive and canola oil (2:1 ratio, grapeseed oil to castor oil). Overall another good recipe!

Always remember to seal your mixtures tightly and keep them away from moisture to prevent unwanted bacterial growth! Some recipes can last a very long time if you prevent contamination and use clean hands when handling. Let me know if you make this and how you like it!

See you back here next week with another great recipe! :) Maybe we'll try something a little harder!
