Using Baby Oil as Cheap Alternative Make up Remover


I don't wear make up everyday but whenever I do I really make it my duty to take it off so that I won't break out. 


I've seen so many articles and videos regarding using olive oil as a substitute for make up remover. Okay I would just like to clarify that I live in the Philippines and the price of a bottle of olive oil is within 150-200 pesos. So instead of using baby oil I actually preferred baby oil since its readily available. 


You can check out the video version of this post if you'd like to see me remove my make up with baby oil. And for some reason, I think my computer really needs to be upgraded since there were some technical problems with this video. I'll reshoot and reupload this maybe later this week ^^, 


I would actually refer using this as a make up remover for dry skin since its made of oil so its easier for it to remove make up from your face. This also works for oily skin if you can stand looking like you washed yourself in oil haha! 

In removing tough eyeliner and mascara using baby oil, you have to use cotton pads or tissue since the skin around our eyes is really sensitive so don't rub your eyes. It will sting a little but be sure to be careful with these. 


I will do another one of these in the coming weeks since I will try out other make up removers in the market. 

See you soon! 

Much Love!

@herroyalbleakness it is a little heavy sometimes but the thing I like about it is it doesn't break me out :D Thanks for dropping by :)

I do this sometimes, I have to admit. But other times I feel like this will break me out. I personally use olive oil, because we were able to buy a HUGE bottle for pretty cheap.

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
