So far the best blend I have seen on UA-cam. I also recommend not adding essential oil’s until you removed the blend from the heat, because high heat will destroy your central oil’s. However, I probably would avoid essential oil’s all together as you don’t want that into your eyeballs....
That's very wise :) I am doing the same :) Love this recipe, and combine it with using Cherish Lash serum, my eyelashes are most well-groomed now. )) Big thanks to the author
Can you break down the exact measurement in grams??? It’s a big difference when measuring out a product that is shaved into a teaspoon versus a product that also comes in pearl size portions
If you add a few drops of rosemary essential oil, you will have your natural preservative and can stretch this for longer. Doubly so if you also add a carrier oil high in vitamin E, or a capsule of vitamin E oil itself. Personally, I prefer a high-antioxidant, dry carrier oil such as rosehip, because it minimizes smearing throughout the day. One other tip: for brown mascara, or black-brown, use raw cacao powder.
@@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa I'll have to look into this because many people say Vitamin E is a preservative...thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Great that you have your own channel Astar! 😊 I am looking up all sorts of different DIY makeup recipes atm. I look forward to giving this mascara a go. If I ever try it and like it, is it ok to share it on my channel in the future if I credit you? Have subscribed to your channel in any case 🙂.
Please make more makeup videos I’m seriously sick of buying makeup already haha I know companies purposely sell their products in small amounts so you have to keep buying. Also I’m from Auckland but live in California now, much love.
Hello. You will be pleased not to be here in 'locked-up-lock-down' Auckland! Actually it's not that bad and thankfully Spring almost arrived yesterday. Yes yes yes, I will do more skincare and makeup. It's ridiculous the price and tbh isn't that hard to make. Although mine don't have long shelf life, I find it a fun activity once a month. Before this current lock-down, a gathering of friends and a 🍷 with the girls was an equally fun time. Keep safe Astar
Thank you for sharing! Just wondering, how does it go on the hot days? Heat, where I am from, is usually average 34 degrees celsius but can get higher too.
What would you recommend in place of coconut oil? For those of us allergic to it, its actually why I can not use commercial mascara but not sure what is best to use in place of
Fading Cadence thanks, will try it and see if it works. I've tried a couple and they were horrible so I've just been brushing a lil of my eyeliner over them and adding aloe gel
Essential oils should be used with caution when applying near the eye area. Most are not safe for use around the eyes, and will cause redness, stinging, and even swelling. Make sure the label on the bottle says it is 'SAFE FOR EYES'. Many essentials oils are not cold-pressed and not "100% pure", so there are preservatives and other "fragrances" added and this can cause problems when used around the eyes. BE CAREFUL!!!

NO it shouldn't do that. Now I'm thinking hard trying to resolve your issue. I'm going to have a try with other ingredients and see what I can come up with
Terri Yakesh enough to make it the consistency of mascara Begin with a 1/16 tsp measurement after everything has been melted.Also highly recommend you go to Mountain Rose Herbs to learn more about this product
Do not put lavender oil near your eyes-it will melt and get inside you eye and that is not good. The video is all over the place and very hard to follow. It needs to be more organized with less irrelevant talking. OY!

I did do this because I’m so allergic to store bought. I love it!
I haven't worn mascara since my 20s as i found it way too harsh for me. Im now in my 60s and im going to make this. Thank you so much 🔥🙏🔥
I love your presentation!
When I use the oil, I blend them together with a hand mixer. It gives the texture a creamy feel also it won't hard as much. ;)
That's very wise :) I am doing the same :) Love this recipe, and combine it with using Cherish Lash serum, my eyelashes are most well-groomed now. )) Big thanks to the author
Thank you for this video! I just ordered supplies online and will be making this later this week!
I think you have a great recipe there. Good for you! I'm going to try it. You have excellent ideas.
Love your apron!
I love your videos. Just the kind of stuff I like to do!
Me too and I know exactly what is in it. Love for now Astar
Awesome ! Can't wait to try and I will most certainly let you know! Thank you so much! Melinda

Would you happen to have a remedy thats natural to brighten up grey hair. I love your wonderful natural ideas

None of these are natural preservatives.

Good recipe. Could I try this with fresh aloe from the plant itself? Also could I leave out the lavender oil?
Brilliant! What a money saver - would be worth it to make batches as gifts :)
Hope you are safe and sound, Astar.

Grapeseed oil is a natural preservative. Add a few drops in there & that takes care of that. Ty very much for sharing.
No it’s not neither is vitamin E
I want to ask that aloe vera gets old so our maskara will also expire soon, would u tell us the expiry date

I'm struggling with mine smudging. I used charcoal, shea butter, vitamin e, any suggestions for no smudging?
Rachel Mallasch use a matte drying liquid

Natalie Cooper I dont see why not
Hello Natalie, yes you can, but it might be a bit harder. Regards Astar

Hi there, I really like it and so do my eyes. I do ensure my brush is ALWAYS meticulously clean though. kind regards Astar
Does anyone know if you can use charcoal in place of black mineral powder?
Yes dear
Any recommendation as a substitute for the lavender oil? The smell of it usually gives me headaches
Hello there, just leave it out, but rose might be a lovely substitute. Kind regards Astar
Thank you for sharing! Just wondering, how does it go on the hot days? Heat, where I am from, is usually average 34 degrees celsius but can get higher too.
hm ropehalters Goodness now I am stuck for an answer. I was in India working last year and didn't have an issue and man was it hot.
Ok, cool. I will just need to give it a go I think! Thank you!
Hello, good question. It gets super hot here in the summer and so far so good. No melting. Regards AStar
What would you recommend in place of coconut oil? For those of us allergic to it, its actually why I can not use commercial mascara but not sure what is best to use in place of
Yvette Piercy Shea butter might work! Sorry for the late reply.
Fading Cadence thanks, will try it and see if it works. I've tried a couple and they were horrible so I've just been brushing a lil of my eyeliner over them and adding aloe gel
Yvette Piercy how did it work out? I'm about to try this with jojoba and castor oil
Averie Bailey Clark haven't had a chance to try, its been an awful month with a sick dog who passed away during the night
Yvette Piercy I'm so sorry for your loss take the time to grieve and remember the good memories
Can you use kaolin clay instead of the bentonite clay?
Hello Karen, I am unsure, but I'll have a play around and see what happens. Astar
thank you so much please can i skip the volcano powder with another ??
Yes you can, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of an alternative.

what coloring would you recommend for Auburn? My hair still has too much red for black to look right on me. Thanks much and Thank you for the video!
Saundra York hi Saundra, combine a pinch of black with brown pigment. Keep me posted on how you find the colour. Love for now Astar
Hello Saundra, go for dark brown. That should work well. Regards Astar
Can I use grape seed oil instead of coconut?
I've never used grapeseed but I am sure it will work. I'll have a play and see what happens. Kind regards Astar
But when u use bentonite clay it draws out metal and toxins . u aren't suppose to have any metal or jewelry so how do u use it for your eyes?
Read up on Mountain rose website
You should never put lavender or any essential oil on or near your eye!
Not true, you can use rosemary and others on your lashes and brows to grow them, just be an adult and be careful.
