I
bought this eye makeup remover at the same time as the warming mineral mask
(check out my review on this mask) as my ‘Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect
Eye Make-Up Remover’, which did a good job, ran out.
I
don’t tend to wear much lip and eye
makeup on a daily basis. I mostly just
wear tinted lip balm and a clear mascara, the odd time I will use the
Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara if I need something a bit more! However, if
I am going out for an occasion or an event I try to make a bit more of effort
with some eyeliner/eye shadow or a bold lip. So I decided to test it out
when I had a lot more makeup up than usual to see just how well it performs.
Firstly,
I like the formula of the product as it is fragrance, colour and alcohol-free
which I think is great for the eye and
lip area. I know that some makeup remover products have a lotion or milky
texture but I personally don’t find this comfortable to use especially around the eye area as
it can irritate and leave you not being able to open your eyes to see what
you’re doing! This product has water-like formulation which you apply with
a cotton pad. When the product is sitting it is normally clear but when you shake it to activate the product, it becomes cloudy and a bit soapy looking too.
Did it do a
good job in removing all my eye and lip make-up? Well actually, it did a pretty good job. I found that it didn't take too much effort (no harsh scrubbing!) to take off my makeup, I would recommend using at least two cotton pads for the eyes but one should be sufficient for the lip area. I like to press the cotton pad on my eye/lip area for a few seconds to let it really soak in. For me, it does what I need it to as I wash my face afterwards using a cleanser suitable for the eye area so I can get any remaining bits of the makeup (if there are any) off then too. I
also found that it leaves my eyes and lips feeling fresh, clean and hydrated too and it doesn’t
leave an oily residue as other products can do when they are heavily oil based.
I would say, for the price, this product is a good choice for those who wear wear light eye/ lip makeup daily or those who wear more ocassionally.
What's your favourite makeup remover?
