Homemade Olive Oil Eye Makeup Remover

Hello Everyone!

Is there anyone who hates eye makeup? at least among the beauty loving divas? I guess the answer will be no. Everybody loves eye makeup! Even a girl who don’t wear that red lipstick or concealer, has the habit of swiping tad kajal and mascara on her eyes. Agree?

So what comes to you mind when you think of your eye makeup at the end of your tired day? A good eye makeup remover.. huh? I know it’s a lazy job to remove all the makeup before going to sleep :P but it is very very essential in order to protect our skin and eyes. There were days I used to lose my eyebrow hairs without removing my mascara to night :O Fine, let me stop my story here and concentrate on today’s post.

If you’re regular to eye makeup then you would definitely need a good eye makeup remover to get rid of the makeup leftover residues. Investing in parlor makeup removers might be good at times but it leaves a hole in your pocket most of the time. You might also have the risk of facing any allergies on your skin with your newly bought eye makeup remover.
