bye bye eye make-up

Advantages: Cheap, it works
Disadvantages: Stings very occasionally

...This review is of Skin Therapy Eye Make-Up Remover. Skin Therapy is a skin care range, including facial wipes, moisturisers, cleansers, facial washes and so on. It is exclusive to Wilkinsons, so none of the prodcuts are likely to break the bank. I'm not a huge make-up person, I'm too pale for foundation, too lazy for tinted moisturiser, lip colour gives me too much of a Lesley Ash pout (not a good look, I can assure you), and blusher tends to make me look like I've been slapped! I do, however, love my eye make-up, not every day, but when I feel tired or run down, or if I'm going out, I 'do' my eyes. And when I do them, I really do them, with eye shadow, heavy eye-liner a la smokey eyed look, and lashings of mascara. Of course, all of this eye make-up has to then come off. I've tried so many different eye make-up removers in my time...

Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover

Advantages: No oiliness, kind on eyes, attractive packaging
Disadvantages: A little too mild, didn't remove all my eye make up

...I bought this product a little while ago. I wanted something quick and easy that would effectively remove my eye make up but that was also quite gentle, since some eye make removers make your eyes sting! I have used Clarins products in the past and have found them to be effective, so I thought that I would give this 'Instant Eye Make-Up Remover' a try. The bottle is a simple and attractive design. It is an oval shaped, plastic bottle with a screw top lid. The lid is white with a silver coloured rim, which adds a nice bit of bling! The plastic is a frosted colour, and you can easily see though to the liquid inside. The make up remover has two layers in it, it looks really cool in the bottle! There is a blue layer on the bottom and a clear layer on top, and you have to shake the bottle before you use it so that these two layers mix...

Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover - Extra Good!

Advantages: works brilliantly
Disadvantages: none

...Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make -up Remover.... I wear soft contact lenses everyday and after using a few make up removers that left my eyes feeling irradiated and sore I decided on buying an extra gentle make-up remover and perusing the shelves in Boots I came across this one made by Nivea Visage. It was a reasonable price at £3.39 pence for a good 125ml sized bottle. The design of the bottle is fairly average and just buy looking you can tell it is not an expensive product. It is quite a chunky design which means it stands up well on my dressing table and the lid which is a flip top pops open easily and clicks to seal very well. The liquid inside the bottle is clear although the bottle itself is tinted blue giving the impression that the liquid inside is this blue colour. The Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover is really...

Review of Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

Eye makeup remover that works

Advantages: Removes makeup well, doesnt irritate, moisturises eyes
Disadvantages: Dodgy pump, slightly greasy

...I have always washed my mascara off while washing my face which usually results in all the makeup running into my eyes and then bloodshot eyes! So I decided it was about time I got some proper eye makeup remover. I usually like the No7 skincare stuff so decided to try this one. It cost £7.00 for the 100ml bottle which does sound expensive but it is quite a big bottle and only a bit is required each day. What it promises No7 say: it uses double action to condition while you cleanse and is suitable for sensitive eyes and will even remove waterproof mascara. Packaging I really like the packaging for this, it comes in a nicely shaped bottle with a big pearly looking white lid. The bottle is clear so you can see the blue liquid inside. It has a big gold ?No7? at the top with ?Cleanse & Care Eye makeup remover...

Review of Boots No.7 Cleanse & Care Eye Make-up Remover

Eye Make Up Remover

Advantages: Olay Cream, it works
Disadvantages: None

...since the early days when it was just a pink liquid in a jar. It now has expanded into a wide range of other products and I use quite a few of them. The one I am reviewing here is the Olay Eye Make Up remover. I am one who always has to remove her make up at the end of the day as I hate to sleep in it and think my face does a lot better without it on and so I was very excited when I found this product a few years ago. I love Olay so to have a make up remover that uses Olay lotion as well is an absolute benefit. The Olay eye make up remover comes in a tube with a flip top cap. The tube is white with blue writing on it and the cap is blue. The lotion inside is quite thick. It is fragrance free and colour free to care for the delicate eye area. To me, it smells a bit like regular Olay lotion which as it says above doesn?t really have...

Review of Olay Daily Cleansers Eye Make Up Removing Cream

Eye "do not like this" make up remover

Advantages: Really does its job
Disadvantages: Irrititable

..."A liquid eye make-up remover, to cleanse and remove make-up and condition lashes". I agree with this description of the Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover from The Body Shop because it does indeed remove eye make-up and it feels like it is cleansing and conditioning my lashes. However, I feel like they have missed another detail from their description: it can sting the eyes too. Personally I have found using this eye make-up remover difficult and unpleasant sometimes. I have a sensitive eye area and unfortunately my eyes begin to sting each time I use this product. It is not oily or perfurmed so it is strange why it sometimes stings, however there may be another ingrediant that is causing irritation that I am not aware of. I have not had a problem with other eye make-up remover products, and cannot understand why this...

Review of The Body Shop Camomile Eye Make-up Remover

Re-Vital-Eyes

Advantages: Works with ease, gentle on the skin, NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.
Disadvantages: None that spring to mind.

...I have been aware for some time that the skin around the eyes is delicate and should be treated with care, although I have to put my hand up and admit to rubbing away at my make-up each night with my regular cleanser on a cotton wool pad for the last few years. Well as I am now well into my thirties and I am sure there seem to be new fine lines appearing around my eyes daily, I decided it was time for a change. Having hosted a Body Shop party at my home just over 2 weeks ago, I now have a bathroom cabinet full of lotions, potions, creams & skin care products all of which are crying out to be tried, tested & reviewed on Ciao. Therefore, I shall apologise in advance as my next few opinions are all highly likely to be Body Shop product reviews. Anyway, The Body Shop Camomile gentle eye make-up removing gel was one of my great finds...

Review of The Body Shop Camomile Eye Make-up Remover

Gentle? Yes. Eye make up remover? No.

Advantages: It's gentle
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, have to rub hard

...When it comes to eye makeup remover, I'm not after a miracle product - just one that works but is gentle on the eyes as I can suffer from quite sensitive eyes which are easily irritated by lotions and potions. So when my sample of Lancome Bi Facil ran out I opted for L'oreal's Gentle Eye Make Up Remover, sold by the 'gentle' tag in the title and the attractive price tag of £2.68 for 125ml. It's enriched with Pro-Vitamin and promises to gently and effectively remove makeup, as well as refreshing the skin. It is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Packaging is simple - a short, stubby bottle with a flip top lid which is actually quite stiff and difficult to open. Strike one... The liquid is a pale blue and very thin, the texture of water, and has a light refreshing scent. To use, you simply apply to a cotton pad...

Review of L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make Up Remover

Garnier eye make up remover

Advantages: Great all round product
Disadvantages: none

...In regards to eye make up removal, I often find that facewipes can be really harsh on the eye area and so have been using some different eye make up removers which i can use with a cotton ball. I tried this Garnier one recently and have to say I really enjoyed using it. Firstly, I didn't find it at all oily or greasy on the eye, it has the consistency of water and was great at removing stubborn mascara and eyeliner. I simply applied a generous amount to the cotton wool ball and gently removed all makeup. The product was also quite refreshing for the eyes and felt really nice and cooling. The container states that the product contains flower extracts which is possible the reason the product was so refeshing; it is also stated that the product is suitable for sensitive eyes which I would definately agree with. The bottle is a great size...

Review of Garnier Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

A good makeup remover for a good price

Advantages: Low price, gets rid of makeup easily, lasts a while
Disadvantages: Stings your eyes a little bit

...AVON Conditioning eye makeup remover lotion I have been an Avon representative for nearly a year now, and in this time I think I have nearly spent more than I've earned - it's too tempting not to buy anything myself and when I'm always trying to convince other people to buy the products I'm usually the one who gets convinced! I bought this makeup remover lotion not too long ago, probably about three months back. The main reasons I bought it was because I run out of face wipes really quickly, so I thought this would last longer and also because it was a low price at around only £1.50. I couldn't resist so ordered myself one with the next campaign. When the bottle arrived in the box with the rest of the ordered products for the campaign it looked exactly like it does in the brochure and I wasn't surprised at all about the size...
