I love my store-brand makeup remover wipes.
I use them everyday and every night. They make me happy.
However, those store-bought wipes aren’t cheap. And I seem to buzz right through them fast, like scary fast. So in order to save some money and not have to run to the store all of the time, I decided it was time for DIY Homemade Makeup Remover Pads.
The original recipe appeared on Beautylish, but I changed things up a little bit so they were closer to my beloved store brand and I LOVE THEM! I hope you do too.

- 1 quart wide mouth jar
