Mine have lasted several months with no sign of going bad soon. If you use just oil it should be fairly stable, as long as they are stored well without contamination. I would be cautious adding essential oils to something that will make contact with your eyes, but that’s up to you.

I saw these and thought they would be a great addition for the make-up wearers as Christmas presents…
I was just wondering how long it lasts? I am guessing because it is oil it wouldn’t go bad quickly? Does it go bad at all?
Also do you think that adding some essential oils would work to? To create a lovely smell!

Cannot wait to try these. I don’t wear much make up but perhaps I’ll put some on and glam up just to see how these go!

Thank you so much! Sorry it didn’t work out for you!

Thanks Susie. I have made it for family and friends and they love it. It’s just me and my contacts. My only option is to remove my contacts first but that defeats the point of extended wear lenses. I will keep researching. I am loving your recipes!

I’m not sure! It’s the oil that breaks down the makeup, so I don’t know that you can make the recipe less oily. You could try adding a little water to each pad before you rinse the makeup off, or using less oil overall. I’m sorry that it didn’t work for you and good luck!
