Hello Beautiful People!
I hope you've all been out and about enjoy the lovely weather we've been having recently. Its makes a very welcome change from our usual summers of wind and rain!
I've got a super simple recipe for you this week. A 3 ingredient make-up remover. I found this little gem on the Free People blog. If you haven't come across them before, then you should definitely check them out. Free People are an American clothing company and their stuff is absolutely stunning. They're a wee bit out of my student budget price range, but they do ship pretty much worldwide, so if you're feeling a bit flush this month, their stuff is definitely with splurging on.
Whilst they are a clothing company, the Free People blog is a treasure trove of natural beauty recipes, food and drink recipes, lifestyle tips and so much more. It's one of my favourite blogs and one of the reason I started messing about with natural beauty.
ANYWAY... here is the recipe for their 3 ingredient make-up remover.
What you'll need:
- A medium sized jar.
- Measuring Cups/Jug and Spoons.
- Hot Water.
- Coconut Oil
- Liquid Castile Soap (preferably Dr Bronner Baby Castile Soap (available at Holland & Barrett))
- Witch Hazel
Fill your jar with a cup of hot water and mix in a tablespoon of Coconut Oil.
(Tip: Dip your spoon in the hot water to make scooping the coconut oil easier)
Stir in a tablespoon of Castile Soap.
Finally add 1/2 teaspoon of witch-hazel.
Easy Peasy!
Free People suggest pushing a stack of cotton rounds into the jar so soak up the liquid, creating homemade make-up wipes. Personally, I found this didn't really work as the cotton rounds didn't soak much of the liquid up and it all got a bit messy, but that might just be my cheap cotton rounds.
Edit: I tried some better quality cotton rounds and it worked so much better!

Let me know how you get on with recipe and what you think of the Free People blog.
