Make Your Own Make Up Remover

Heya,
Hope all is well in the land of life :)

So I got really pulled into the makeup world this year and I know how to apply it, I just need to know how to take it off. I had bought this St. Ives Makeup Remover and Facial Cleanser, which wasn't bad but, it worked really well for taking off mascara not so much foundation. You would have to use a lot of the product to remove your foundation, which means that you would easily run out of the product if you are a daily makeup wearer. So I watched another You tube Video and learned how to make my very own Makeup Remover! Credits go to Michlelle Phan on Youtube.com


INGREDIENTS FOR MAKE UP REMOVER:
h2O/water

  Olive oil
 


Bottle (I used an empty cleanser bottle I kept, which I washed out thoroughly)

 
 DIRECTIONS
I poured enough olive oil to reach quarter mark of inside the bottle and then I filled the rest of the container with water. That's it! When removing make up I use regular cosmetic cotton balls and the job gets done quickly. If this mixture gets into your eyes, not to worry, no pain, no stinging, nothing (well, at least for me). Enjoy the joy of removing your makeup!

Make your own Pore Strip!

I know I have been MIA (missing in action) for so long. I was mad upset cuz ma camera fell on the zoom lens and now ma cam not working :( I use my camera to take pics and then post them on the net and now ma camera is all gone. Ne ways life goes on! For all who don't know I'm a youtube addict, I can spend all day watching videos on there. To me its like cable tv, which I don't have and I can't keep going into Island Grill Restaurant just to watch their cable, can I now? Lol, I'm a hoot I know that :) I learned to make a great product on youtube once again!
Down to business! Everyone should know the Biore Pore Strips, if you don't, there is a picture below. It's a really great product, but the cost is a little bit up there and you know me, if I can make it - I'm not buying it.

I was writing this blog, pressed the wrong key and alakazam, the thing disappeared. Too early in the morning to be upset, so I'll save that for later, lol. Ok back on track! I'm an improviser that doesn't follow instructions well. Michelle did her mixture with 1% milk and unflavored gelatine(unflavored jello mix), I did my mixture with milk powdered milk and unflavored gelatine (though I do recommend u getting the 1% milk). I wasn't gonna buy an entire box of milk to make a tiny mixture for ma nose and I went to like 4 supermarkets and I couldn't find the small box of milk. She microwaved her mixture, my microwaved passed away last year, rest his poor soul, lol. I had no choice but to heat my mixture on the stove. She applied the mixture to her nose with a makeup brush. I applied the mixture to ma entire face (cuz I used way too much in all my excitement), with ma fingers, wasn't gonna put ma make up brush in that mixture , no way Jose! It came out fabulous, well not exactly, when I put it on ma face and allowed it to dry and then peeled it off, it was all gross fest from there. The mixture most definitely worked! I didn't know so many gross things were in ma pores, it pulled out black heads, white heads, alien heads, lol ok joking about the latter. I think you guys should definitely try this. A picture of the gelatine pack I used is below, bought it at Mega Mart.
This cost me less than JMD $200
