BABY OIL AS MAKEUP REMOVER



I remember someone telling me that baby oil works well as an eye makeup remover.  Today, after receiving a bottle of Burt's Bee Organic Baby Oil in the stocking, I wanted to try removing my eye makeup with it.

The result?  WONDERFUL!

The oil quickly rid of heavy makeup.  In about 2-3 hard wipes, my dark makeup, including clumpy mascara, was gone.  Plus, it did not irritate my eyes - must be the whole "organic" deal!


Yikes!  Started out with some heavy (and colorful) makeup!

Wiping it a few times with Burt's Bee Organic Baby Oil.

Nice!  All that makeup - all gone!

I was very happy with the results.  Yay for discovering another way - and a natural way as a matter of fact - to remove eye makeup!

I'll be traveling the next week.  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!  SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!!

  2. Hmmm...I use Almay makeup pads. They're very unmessy. But I'm sure this way is very moisturizing!

  4. I currently use baby oil as makeup remover, and it's amazing! The oil just melts everything away so quickly, and it's absolutely non-irritating (=

  11. When in doubt, use baby products! :) They're so gentle on the skin as compared to the more potent ones in the market that irritate the skin. :s

    Burt's Bees has great products from the lip balms to the oils. <3

  12. Really? My mom is doing the same thing, but it ends up with broken lashes. She then bought herself a decent make up remover. I guess it's the different brand of the baby oil?

  22. I'm beginning to think that cleansing oils are too, too overpriced! What do you think of just using a reg. Johnson & Johnson baby oil as a remover?

    Happy new year hun^^
