If you're looking for a refreshing makeup setting spray (not for oily skin),
give this recipe (originally via my Mama!) a try:
Need:
- Witch hazel
- Filtered water
- Spray bottle
Do:
- Mix 1/2c Witch Hazel with 1/2c water in a spray bottle.
- Shake and spray before or after applying makeup--not for oily skin because it doesn't prevent. Similar to UD Chill setting spray.
- This keeps for a month or so, as long as you use filtered water.
- Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing treat!
You know the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you know everything about beauty?! ;-) This is such a lovely idea that I'm bookmarking for summer. (I just can't bear to use anything chilled in the winter!)
ReplyDeleteHa, what a brilliant idea:) I am totally bookmarking it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI need to make this. The sprays on the market are getting too expensive! :D
ReplyDeleteI totally need to try this out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Damn, I've got to try this. I have yet to find a setting spray that really works for me (usually I rely on a very light mist of hairspray)!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'll try this next time because setting sprays are expensive!

thanks for the tip! i have never tried anything like this before.
ReplyDeleteOo la la! Love this :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you just saved me a lot of money! Totally trying this out when my stash of setting sprays has exhausted itself.
ReplyDeleteSounds great and very simple!
ReplyDeleteSure... tell me this AFTER I buy a $22 bottle of Fix+. ;P
ReplyDeleteI have a bottle of Mac Fix+ but when it runs out I am totally making my own! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea!

Never heard of this range, probably won't try it either, I don't think we have it around. I got a tee treatment gentle shampoo recently, shall be tried for the first time today, I hope it'll turn out to be good!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm crazy, this comment went to the wrong post and now I can't find the post that opened initially.. it was with some hair care stuff. Lol.
ReplyDeleteWill have to try this! I just bought a bottle of the Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel, so will be whipping up your recipe when my current setting spray runs out (soon!).
ReplyDeleteI love witch hazel and have some mixed up already as an astringent. I love that you just gave me a new usage. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect for summer! And bonus, I already have some witch hazel sitting around!
ReplyDeletethis is great, I will definitely give it a try. I usually use Elf, mist and set, but I am always willing to try out home made products!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... chilled would be refreshing!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'm so impressed that you know how to whip up your own products. I would have no idea where to start.
