Makeup Washcloth
I hate when I go to wash my makeup off and my white towels get all nasty (not that us Hot Mess Mommies are wearing that much makeup, but anyway). So I was super excited when the Ace Hotel started stocking the rooms with black washcloths that said "makeup" on them. No, I didn't steal them.
Since my mom is a master embroiderer, I picked up some black washcloths and asked her to make me some. These were $1.50 each! I think they'll make super cute stocking stuffers. This is more a suggestion than a DIY....so buy some black washcloths
Genius right? Thanks mom!

these are awesome and I really wish I knew someone who embroiders. I've found that baby wipes actually remove makeup pretty well, and well, let's face it....I've got baby wipes coming out of my ears these days, so they're always handy! ;)
That is a great idea! I guess I am still old school --- I use vaseline to remove my eye makeup.
I am making these for stocking stuffers!!! Thank you for the great idea!!! I like to use vitamin E oil to remove eye makeup since it is so rich and moisturizing and helps with the crows feet (which I know you don't have ;o) ). I had an idea. . . what if you made a little mitten with the black wash cloth (an djust leave a hole where your thumb would go) and then embroider "makeup" at the base. Just a thought. Thanks again. . . must go purchase black washcloths.
I need an embroidery machine now :o). I am also a baby wipes user for make up removal (for whatever is left on my face after a long day of being slobbered on and climbed on among other things.)
Good idea Andrea! Let's brainstorm how we can all get embroidery machines. Brother Social Media Director... are you listening?
Genius!
I am pro make up remover wipes, BUT when I run out I use baby wipes. I use them for a lot of things but they work wonders at getting eyeliner off!
brilliant idea!
Thanks
Cetaphil, you guys. You will never use anything else.
The best remover I have found is Noxema, it has been around a long time, & it works!
OMGosh thank you so much for this post!!! I was looking for some little things to add in with my Christmas gifts of solid lotion bars and this is perfect!!!
Oh and I am a baby wipes user ;)
Great gift idea. I won't be needing one, because, as my four year-old daughter pointed out: "Mommies don't wear make-up. Only grandmas and babysitters wear make-up."
Great idea!! Becky
Great idea! Much nicer than the "Butt/Face" embroidered towel my mother-in-law gave us. (I kid you not, she actually gave us that towel along with a tin sign that says "Beer: Helping ugly people get laid since..." I'm too embarrassed to take them to Goodwill!
I LOVE this idea. I am always bleaching my makeup stains out of my white towels.
maybe this is a little silly to point out.. but for those of you without embroidery machines, why don't you just use the plain black face cloth? Sure, the word "makeup" on the cloth is cute, but totally unnecessary. :) If you are giving them as gifts, just make a cute tag that says "makeup" and tie or pin it to the cloth.

LOVE this idea! I'd like to make these for my 3 sisters as stocking stuffers this year, but am having a heck of a time finding white embroidery letters on the internet that are nice looking (the ones at joann, etc. are cheesy). I really like the lower-case lettering that Jaimie's mom used - any idea where to locate embroidery letting like this? Thanks so much!
Making my stocking stuffers now for every lady in the family! Whoo hooo! Thanks for such a great idea. And of course I will make a handful for myself as well.
