Cheap Chic Obsession

DIY Makeup Erasers for perfect Makeup

Happy Friday! Okay I do realize that my last couple of posts have been about eyes/eyelashes but seeing as how I’ve just started doing eyelash extensions, I’m currently obsessed with that. So this post is about having ’perfect’ mascara. I don’t know about you but I CANNOT put on my mascara without some of it smudging onto my eyelid. It may also have something to do with the fact that I do my makeup while on the tube.  I hate having messy mascara! The other day I was on Allure.com and saw these Almay ‘Make-up Erasers’ which are only $5.50 for 24 but that can add up if you use them every day and I’m not sure if they sell these in every country so of course I have done a little DIY that can last you a long time!

What you need

• Cotton Wool
• Cotton Swabs
• Liquid Makeup Remover
• a little plastic bag or case to keep the cotton swabs
• a little jar that you can buy in the travel section at the drug store

 

1)Pour makeup remover (oil-free is good) half way into the jar.

 2) Stick the cotton ball into the jar and make sure it absorbs all of the makeup remover (real cotton please).  Make sure your hands are clean and push the cotton ball to make sure it absorbs.

 3. Pour more makeup remover into the jar just enough so that a little liquid goes over the cotton ball (the cotton ball should not swim).

 4. Sitck the cottown swabs in a little plastic bag or get the travel ones that come in the little box. And you’re finished!

 To use just touch the cotton tips  in the solution and pat away to have perfect mascara!

 

Depending on how often you use these you should change the make up remover once a week or every other week.  Alternatively you can also buy the little nivea cold cream in travel size and use that with a cotton swab!  Is this helpful?
