My question--can anyone give me a good homemade recipe for eye make up remover. i use so much, so often & the bought stuff is so expensive.
Thanks, Rosebud2005

don't know how to make my own, but I use Paula's choice face cleanser for normal to dry skin. It's cheap, like $13.95 for 16oz - lasts me like a year and it works REALLY well. it removes everything with just a quarter size amount and i mean everything, including nasty mascara and foundation!!! You can get it on cosmetic cop website. Don't bother with her sunscreens though, they suck. I only use her cleanser and her basic moisturizer.

Hey my twin!!!! Laughing

I use Jojoba Oil to remove my eye make-up and if I am running low then Extra Virgin Olive oil makes an excellent eye make-up remover.
Also Grapeseed Oil works too Very Happy

Expensive, but best one there is....
The dual-phase remover from YSL, which you have to shake before use. It removes everything very gently, including wp mascaras. And since it's so effective, you don't need much of it each time. A bottle lasts me months. Smile

I'm with rosebud on this one, jojoba oil seems to be the most effective and inexpensive eye make up remover I can find... plus you can use it for so many other things.

I tried using Jojoba oil and it doesnt seem to remove everything (nothing waterproof, just regular mascara, liners). Do you guys rub it a lot?

(and I keep getting the oil in my eyes and then my vision is blurred.)

I'd love to find a recipe for something homemade and not as oily.

I like Lancome's eye makeup remover, but it is sooo expensive and I go through it too fast.
