Story+DIY: Extra Virgin Olive Oil as an Emergency Makeup Remover

Hey Peeps!

     This is going to be a rather short advice/diy post.

     So, a little while ago I slept over my friend's house unexpectedly. It was fine until I actually had to go to sleep. I didn't realize that I put way too much eyeliner that day and it was running down and smudged. So I asked them if they knew if their mom had makeup remover and they checked but she didn't. So I sighed and asked them if they had extra virgin olive oil. They were pretty weirded out and asked me why I needed such a thing.

Here's a memorable tip for all you ladies:

     Extra virgin olive oil acts as a makeup remover if you wipe it on with a paper towel.

     After you do that make sure to wash your face with a cleanser or soap. The oil will not clog your pores and hydrates your skin, but I would not recommend it for regular use.
     Moisturizing will also help keep the skin well hydrated (especially if you used regular bar soap to wash off the oil, like I did).

     I keep some of these in my purse now and you can get a bunch of samples from almost any interactive beauty store like Sephora or Macys:

This isn't my personal favorite brand for moisturizer but it'll do in a pinch and it's free~
