I was devoted to Nars Makeup Remover because of its mild and fragrance-free formula that can be used even on the most sensitive skin, and yet is strong enough to remove even waterproof make-up. Only a drop or two is necessary to remove everything on the face.
But last week, my Nars Make-Up Remover ran out so I had to look for a home “option”. My mom said she read somewhere that extra virgin olive oil can remove make-up and that she still has something left in the kitchen. I asked, “Extra virgin olive oil? The one where we dip our baguettes into?” And she answered, “Yes, the very same oil”. So I went to the kitchen and covered the mouth of the bottle with a cotton pad, tipped the bottle over, then used it on my face. In less than a minute… Voila! It removed my make-up, including my mascara!
Since then, I’ve been using it on my face — it’s natural, leaves a soft after-feel, and cheap. Moms really know best :-)
To “slenderize” your arms, use an arm shaper/minimizer underneath your quarter or long-sleeved tops. Tres Sleek makes them using nicely-textured and smooth fabrics but you’ll be amazed how your arms get compressed. If you are fond of wearing tees, transparent strips (a brand called Instant Arm Lift makes them) can help you get rid of flabby arms pretty well.
