Make-up Removers

Advantages: Soothing
Disadvantages: Expensive, took a while to remove all make up

...this product from a local dermalogica stockist in a hair and beauty salon. I paid £16.50 for this, but I believe that you can buy this cheaper if you shop around (eBay particularly). The bottle holds approximately 118ml of eye make up remover. The product was recommeded to me by a beauty therapist, and being a fan of dermalogica products I thought that I would give this a go. The product comes well packaged in the grey and white colours associated ...
...from this range. The product claims to remove even water proof eye make up quickly and efficiently without the need for rubbing. When you use this product it is best to apply it to some moistened cotton wool pads and then apply this directly to the eye lid. The product is very soothing and does not cause any irritation to the sensitive eye area. I have found that the best way to remove eye make up is to leave the pads against the eye for a minute ...

Advantages: Removes all traces of make up
Disadvantages: None

When faced with the challenge of removing all of my make up at 3am after a night out, I used to give up and and end up walking up with panda eyes in the morning. That was before I started to use Clinque Take the day off make up remover, now with a few simple sweeps across the face all make up simply comes straight of and there is no more worry. The make up remover is in two layers in the bottle, this must be shook up to combine the two parts before ...
...remover on a cotton pad and apply to the face and all the days make up with just come off. It leaves a slightly oily feeling to the skin after but not for too long and this can be washed straight off if possible. It removes waterproof mascara as well as foundation designed to stay put, and lipstick and basically any make up you have on. It is priced around £11 which I feel is value for money as the effects of it are highly recommended. ... Read review

Advantages: Looks great, smells great, removes everything
Disadvantages: Nothing really, you get a lot for your money

...free sample of some of Korres shower gel once and it smelt lovely. SO, I bought this online. First of all I was impressed by the size of the bottle and how much you get for your money. Beautiful box, lovely bottle, nice and secure lid. It is very very good at removing eye make up. I don't wear eye make-up that often but when I do, I always find that cleansers and eye make-up removers never get rid of all mascara, and the morning after, and even ...
...traces around the eyes and creases. This stuff removed so much make up that I felt really clean and the next morning there were no traces at all of mascara or eye shadow. I have even used this over my face and it seemed to remove any powder and dirt from the day as well. It smells nice, is easy to use and does the job very well, much better than any other cleanser or eye make-up remover I have ever used. ... Read review

Advantages: removes heavy eye makeup
Disadvantages: oily, expensive

This was a product that my mum got free from where she works [boots]. I have to say that I am very glad that I didn't pay for this because the price is far too high for the product. Having a reputable brand name isn't an excuse for charging an extortionate price for an average product! omg i sound like my nan... The company claims that it is non-greasy, but I strongly disagree with that. I have to use a very good cleanser and toner to make sure ...
...skin to clog my pores. However, although it is expensive and greasy, I have to admit that it really does work. I have recently taken to wearing heavy[er] black eyeliner and lots of black mascara, but after I have used this, all [or almost all] of my makeup has been removed with no grey smudges left under my eyes as can be the case with other makeup removers. This product isn't enough to use as your only cleansing product; a good cleanser and toner ... Read review

Advantages: Gentle and it works
Disadvantages: A tad expansive

...me a Clinique or a Clarins counter or even an Origins counter and I am there, credit card out purchasing. Having said that my grandmother, and mother have both used Clarins all their adult lives and both look 20 years younger than they are so I guess there is some pedigree there! Now I am unlucky enough to have very sensitive skin so have to be so careful with my products. I find it hard to find a make up remover that will do its job without irritating ...
...so gentle - in fact almost slightly too much as it leaves your skin feeling slightly greasy (just cleanse and tone afterwards to get rid of this feeling) but it does the job!!!!! It gets rid of mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow without scrubbing or washing. If you get it into your eyes by mistake it does not sting! It is easy to apply - soak a cotton wool ball and away you go - rub your eyes and off the make up comes!! It even removes waterproof ... Read review
