Eye Make Up Remover

Since I really am not worth much on the functioning scale until I've had at least one cup of coffee, I hopped online Tuesday morning while my coffee maker was hard at work. Monday had been another late night meeting, so I simply collapsed without much effort when I finally got home. This meant I resembled a raccoon who stuck its poor little paw in an electrical socket. My hair is most uncooperative.

Trolling through Facebook and checking the day's weather is the norm for morning like these. While perusing my FB feed, I ran across this post from Jillee on eye make up remover.

Due to my complete lack of interest in shopping, I was out of many things, including eye make up remover so I was not looking forward to getting rid of the eye liner and mascara smudged around my eyes. This seemed serendipitous.

I had most items on hand so off to the kitchen I went. I pulled out a small plastic container, a spoonful of coconut oil, and Lavender EO. I don't have any Vitamin E oil or Geranium (at least until my Oil of the Month from Spark Naturals arrives soon).  My theory is to give it a whirl and if I like it I can then add the Geranium and Vitamin E.

Guess what - it worked wonderfully!  I used a Q-tip to apply it thinking I was going to have to go to town scrubbing with a cotton ball. Nope. The Q-tip was black and brown almost immediately! I did use a cotton ball to remove the excess oil and go after the little bit of  really stubborn eyeliner on my left eye. I'm sold.

I also like her tip about using a small jar for travel purposes. Going to make some more once that Geranium and Vitamin E are residing at home!
