More on the homemade cosmetics front.
So, I started experimenting with making my own deodorant (using this recipe) after even Dove started breaking me out. It's great and it works, but I had trouble getting the scent I wanted. The tea tree oil overwhelmed everything else, even the patchouli.
This last time, I decided to throw in some leftover Lush "solid perfume" that I had, (in the "Karma" scent) and the results look and feel a lot more like store-bought deodorant without breaking me out. Lush products list all the ingredients, so I knew the resulting combo wouldn't break me out, and it hasn't - and I smell like Lush product all day! Yes, I know it's technically a $13.00 bar of deodorant at that point, but I like Lush stuff anyway when I can afford it, and 13.00 for their smallest tin of solid perfume is pretty affordable for them, anyway.
