DIY Eyelash Growth Serum
I'm going to show you how to make your own DIY eyelash growth serum recipe for just about $2.
Yield: 1 tube
Cost: $2
Equipment
- Empty mascara tubes
Materials
- castor oil
- lavender essential oil
- cedarwood essential oil
Instructions
- First, open the bottle take out the mascara wand. There will be a little plastic insert thingy you’ll want to take out, too (what is the technical name for that thing??). Trust me, you will regret it if you don’t (yes, I spilled castor oil all over my bathroom counter just to make sure you don’t have to).
- Fill the bottle about 3/4 of the way full with castor oil. If you use the bottles I recommended above, that will be just over 1/2 teaspoon of castor oil. It doesn’t take much!
- Add 1 drop of lavender essential oil and 1 drop of cedarwood essential oil.
- Replace plastic insert thingy, put the wand in the bottle, and close it tight. Shake gently to mix ingredients.
- Apply a thin layer nightly before bed to give your lashes some love! This recipe is shelf stable for a looooong time. Let’s just say 6 months to be safe. But that’s definitely erring on the safe side.
Notes
- I use these empty mascara bottles because it makes applying this serum SO much easier. They are honestly the most expensive thing about this recipe — and they are pretty cheap! ????
- These are my favorite essential oils — I’ve been used them for almost 6 years now and they are AMAZING. ????
