Castor oil is said to be great for many things, especially hair growth. It’s a thick, sticky oil said to help regrow eyebrows, eyelashes, and all other kinds of hair.
Though it’s thick, it’s not quite thick enough to easily apply to eyelashes. This quick, 4-ingredient serum comes together in a flash, goes on smoothly, and might just help your eyelashes grow. Or something. I haven’t done enough testing to say definitively, but the person that wrote this article would certainly say it will help.
Eyelash Serum
20g castor oil
2g beeswax
1g vitamin E
2g vegetable glycerinMelt the oil, beeswax, and vitamin E together. Let cool, whisking as it re-solidifies. Add the glycerin and whisk that in as it cools.
You may need to re-warm and re-whisk the mixture to pour it into a container if it’s slim-necked, like the mascara container I used. Don’t use an old mascara container. If you’ve ever tried to clean one out, you’ll know why.
Apply to eyelashes with a mascara wand before you go to sleep.

i use just straight castor oil in a mascara tube, and yeah, its kind of a pain to get on….lots of sideways applications.but im thinking, …lip gloss tube? the kind with the brush…and just glop it onto lashes a la that prescription stuff…if you really wanna be like that stuff, you can buy disposable brushes. (i unfortunately had this epiphany after i had already bought 5 empty mascara tubes…gah.)

I, too, bought a bunch of mascara tubes before deciding that I would leave mascara creation to the pros
I do find the bit of added beeswax really helps the mascara brush work for applying castor oil, though (thankfully). I do think a non-synthetic brush would be better than the plastic one that came with this tube, though—it would probably absorb the oil (like the little pad/brush thingy they use for lip gloss applicators) and then transfer better.
