How to Make Eyeshadow - Four Easy Recipes

It's Friday, friends!  We made it through another week.  A very cold week for most of us. If you've been reading this week, I did a mini series of homemade eyeshadow recipes and gave the results for each one.  Today, I'll recap and rate them with an A - F score. I have to admit that some of the results surprised me!  Recipes that I thought looked too difficult weren't too bad, and the one that looked totally weird worked great!

How to Make Cream Eyeshadow with Alcohol and Oil Part 4

This is my fourth and final cream eyeshadow recipe for this week.  I have to admit that this recipe sounded like it would be an epic fail.  It uses alcohol and water, and alcohol is the last thing I want near my eyes.  I also didn't want a really oil eyeshadow because I was thinking it would just slide off. The alcohol and the oil perform some kind of magic together, and the result is this amazing homemade eyeshadow! In case you missed it, earlier this week I gave recipes for cream eyeshadow with lotion , cream eyeshadow with eye drops , and cream eyeshadow with shea butter . How to Make Cream Eyeshadow 

How to Make Cream Eyeshadow Part 3

This week, I am featuring four cream eyeshadow recipes that I made.  I found the most popular recipes and tested them so I can recommend them to my readers.  Monday, I posted an easy cream eyeshadow recipe with lotion .  Tuesday, I posted a cream eyeshadow recipe with eye drops .  Today's recipe is a little more difficult, but it isn't too time consuming.  I spent about 10 minutes preparing it and then waited for it to cool. This recipe is adapted from a recipe at Soap Deli News .  I adopted it to fit the ingredients that I had on hand and calculated the liquid measurement where she gives the recipe in drops for the oils. I have one more recipe to post tomorrow, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter if you don't want to miss a post. How to Make Cream Eyeshadow

How to Make Cream Eyeshadow With Eye Drops Part 2

Yesterday, I started the first post in this week's series of DIY cream eyeshadow recipes.  It used a lotion as a premade base for the color.  This one is similar, but it uses eye drops as the base.  They are sterile and safe near the eyes. I'll feature two more recipes this week, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter  if you want to read them all. How to Make Cream Eyeshadow With Eyedrops

I'll start with the easiest recipe and then go to the more difficult ones.  This one is very, very easy and gave me great results. How t

Natural Eye Makeup Remover DIY Recipe

Have you ever woken up with raccoon eyes because your eye makeup remover didn't work too well?  Me too.  Just washing my face usually takes off all of my eyeshadow, but liner and mascara are more difficult, especially waterproof mascara. I used to use a storebought eye makeup remover, but then I read the ingredients.  I couldn't pronounce most of the ingredients, and some were just scary.  Mineral oil.  Sorbic Acid.  Parabens.  No thanks! I've been making my own natural makeup remover for months, but I don't like it around my eyes because it has liquid castile soap.  Castile soap is great stuff, just not for the eye area.  So I set out to find a natural eye makeup remover recipe that was safe, gentle, and effective. I found a lot of recipes with baby wash and dish soap, neither of which I wanted near my eyes.  The baby wash has a lot of chemicals in it, so that was a definite no anyway.  I also wanted whatever I used to nourish my skin.   I tested a few recipes,

DIY Cuticle Cream Recipe

Winter is almost here, which means dry skin season if you live in the cold north.  We started having fires this week, and they just suck the moisture right out of the air.  I try to combat the dry air by hanging up clothes inside, but my skin still feels the effects of the fire.  The worst part for me is when my cuticles get dry and crack.  When they crack, they bleed, and this just begs for infection.  Yuck.  Luckily, this DIY cuticle cream recipe both heals and protects.  Even better, it's easy with just three ingredients! I like to pour my cuticle cream recipe in to a chapstick tube because it's easy to apply right to my nails.  You can also pour it into a small pot with a lid, but I always get the product under my nails when I do this.  It's just a personal preference.
