There is nothing like the feeling of doing something yourself, special when it is skin care. Drying beauty products are not only better for your skin (you know exactly what you are doing in your face), but they are also much easier for your wallet.
But how are the costs of making your own makeup artist compare with those elegant bottles on the shelf?
A standard screen maker costs $ 7– $ 16 per bottle, while our DIY versions cost around $ 2 to $ 5, depending on the supply of ingredients. In addition, it can reuse the same lot lot container, reducing waste and costs over time. Let’s break down for a recipe so you can see how much I could save when making bricoking!
