Two ingredients: Filtered water and extra virgin olive oil. That's it! If you have a water bottle or something with a narrow top, any container will work. I picked up a cute container from Hobby Lobby with a cork lid.



Step one: Fill your container with water. I filled it up about half way. Any kind of filtered water will work, whether it's from your fridge, a bottle or a filtered container you keep in your home.

Step two: Add some olive oil! I used about 1/3 of the amount of water. I looked around online for a better idea how much I would need, and it seemed to vary. Some women talked about how they don't dilute it at all and use straight olive oil! Some used mostly water and only a tiny bit of oil. This ratio worked great for me.



I tied a little pink ribbon to add some personality and keep it on my sink for nightly use. Here are some of my observations/tips for this DIY.

• I do not use waterproof mascara or eyeliner. If you do, consider a little more olive oil to break that makeup down (since the water will be ineffective for you!)
  
• I use a cotton ball to wipe/break down the makeup, and then wash my face including my eye area. This gets rid of all the makeup. This method does leave some smearing, but after washing the area with my normal facial cleanser, I am left completely makeup-free.
  
• I found this to be very moisturizing around my eye area. I tend to get dry around there, so this was a big plus. Plus... my eyelashes felt so soft!

I hope you enjoyed this DIY, and let us know if it works for you! I'm always intrigued with incorporating everyday items into beauty routines, so share yours below. ♦
