    Hi Miss_Rosie_Beau,

    This thread may have some homemade recipes to help you:

    Complete Makeup and Body Care Index

    Since that thread was started we now have a new Health, Beauty & Fashion MoneySaving board where there are many more threads that should help so I'll move your thread over there later.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Honey, runny honey, makes an amazing facemask. I get quite angry skin and it soothes dramatically. :)

    A big gloop of honey and some coarse sugar is a really good exfoliant-sticky tho! Be prepared to give yourself a good scrub in the shower afterwards

    I keep hearing egg whites are good for hair and that as long as you rinse them off with ice cold water they don't cling onto your hair- I'm too chicken to try, but has anyone else? or is this a myth?!

    Evening all!

    I've just run out of face wipes and have spend the past quarter of an hour trying to get rid of my eye makeup with soap and water - unsuccessfully!

    Does anyone know an alternative that I could have used with products around the house?

    :o
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before removing your makeup anyway.

    Then use oil to get the makeup off :)
