DIY olive oil eye make-up remover, cheap and easy recipe to make at home

It's another DIY...l this time eye make up remover.

Olive oil is not only a staple most people have in the cupboard, but it's also great for your skin.

It's super easy.  Just grab some olive oil (normal olive oil not extra virgin) and an old cosmetics bottle (glass is better).

Fill the bottle half way with the oil and top it up with half water.  Each time you use it give it a good shake and apply it to a make up remover pad and gently melt your eye make up away!

As you can see I added more water than oil.... opps.  I used a Clinique DDM bottle and I just unscrew the top. Don't use a dispenser because it doesn't get enough oil to water ratio.

DIY - Green cosmetics DRY SHAMPOO, never buy expensive store cans again!

As part of my 'make it, thrift it, craft it' extravaganza I have also looked to my cosmetics cupboard to see where I can cut back.  I think that cosmetics have so many issues:

1.  Packaging is bad for the environment

2.  Shipping from where it is made overseas is bad for the environment

3.  Additives and chemicals is bad for my skin

So with that I looked at what I could possibly DIY in there.  Dry shampoo is something that every woman needs for those in between days (and when you have to go somewhere straight from the office) but it is so expensive, its in a can and it only lasts two, maybe 3 uses.  So I flipped the can over and saw that the active ingredient is rice flour!!!!  RICE FLOUR!  The stuff I have in my kitchen for $3 a pop!!  Never again will I buy dry shampoo..... So this is what I did:

1.  Go to kitchen

2.  Find rice flour lurking at the back of cupboard (have I ever even used this.... no)

3.  Find gorg crystal dish that will pretty up my bathroom, you can find one here

4.  Put rice flour in dish

5.  Find old powder brush (give it a wash and let it dry)

6.  Dip brush in flour and apply to roots, let sit then brush out.  Voila!
