Duping a Formula: Red Cherry Lash Midnight Lash Oil

In this post, I am going to be going over the process of duplicating the Midnight Oil from red Cherry Lashes. I saw this product about a week ago. I was looking on their site because I know a lot of beauty gurus were promoting their brand, and now no one talks about them. Some of their lashes are still affordable, but now they even have human hair lashes. Those are $15 a pair. This is not a brand analysis, so let's get started.

Lemon and Ylang Ylang Nail Oil

In this blog post, I am going to be sharing my Nail Oil formulation. This formulation came by an accident. I was originally trying to create a nail butter to dupe the one from Burt's Bees. That one is super popular and super famous. As you will see in the formulation. I did not add enough beeswax to thicken it to butter. This Nail Oil has the perfect balance of light but still really make your nails moisturized and conditioned. If you really want to make this formulation luxurious then you can add the version of vitamin E that is for antioxidants. Thankfully this formulation is not too complicated. Let's get started!

If your do not know what that is it is a Music Festival for the Valley. It is pretty iconic. You especially see indie brands producing products for Festival Session. Body Gems, Neon Pigments, so extra glitter, and the list goes on. From all those products and my yearn for summer. I created a Shimmery Body Mist. The best part about this formulation is it is four simple ingredients.
