Covergirl Clean Makeup Remover For Eyes and Lips ($4.79) This lightweight lotion gently and thoroughly sweeps away traces of eye and lip makeup, while the gentle formula helps keep delicate skin around the eye and mouth soft and smooth. Perfect for removing your CoverGirl mascaras and Outlast lipcolors.

My Thoughts:

This is by far has got to be one of the worst makeup removers ever. It didn’t remove anything. When I used it to remove eye makeup, it blurred my vision because of the oily residue. I honestly think it’s just oil. It’s that oily! It didn’t remove any lip color either. The remover is also very thick and doesn’t have a pleasant smell. It’s just bad, bad, bad.

Why You’ll Love It

This 100% oil-free formula gently and effectively removes washable mascara and eye makeup without oily residue.

• Fragrance-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Dermatologist tested

My Thoughts:

Since the Maybelline Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover was a bust, I decided to try Maybelline 100% Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. Much better experience than the Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover. However, it didn’t work as well as the Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover. It didn’t remove all of my mascara or eye liner. I rubbed and rubbed and it didn’t remove all the eye makeup. I used up quite a bit of the remover before I was satisfied. Definitely not worth it.

My Thoughts:

I decided to try Maybelline Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover since the weather is getting warmer and I’ll be wearing waterproof mascara. Oi! Bad idea! It left an oily residue I had the most difficult time getting rid of. To make matters worse, the oily residue got into my eye and underneath my contacts. As a result, blurry vision! No matter how many times I washed my contacts,  the oily residue just stuck to my contacts.I had to throw the contacts away. Aside from the oily residue horrid experience, it does remove waterproof mascara. I will not be using or repurchasing this eye makeup remover ever again. It is just too oily for my taste.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover ($7.29) Removes waterproof mascara. Oil free. Gently removes all eye make up, including long lasting and waterproof make up, with no oily residue. Will not sting or irritate eyes. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested.

My Thoughts:

This has got to be the best drug store brand eye makeup remover. It rivals my holy grail Lancome Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover.  Its feels like water yet it removes all of your eyemakeup in a few gentle swipes! It’s not oily and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. The only reason it’s not my holy grail eye makeup remover is because it does take a few more swipes than the Bi-Facial to remove all the makeup. I would repurchase in a heartbeat.

My Thoughts:

I take these towelettes every time and every where I travel. I usually use 2 towelettes to make sure I removed all my makeup. These towelettes don’t leave any residue/film on your face nor that usual sticky feeling. The towelettes are a little bit dry so make sure you reseal the package. If they are too dry for my liking, I just run it through some water before I use them.

This dual-phase 100% oil-free liquid activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup without any tugging, pulling or stinging.

My Thoughts:

This eye make up remover is really gentle. It got all of my makeup off without irritating my sensitive eyes. I also never lost any lashes when I used this. It does leave an oily film after you remove your makeup, but all you have to do is splash a bit of water on it and it’s gone.

Pond’s Exfoliating Clean Sweep Cucumber Cleansing Towelettes ($7.29) Cucumber cleansing towelettes gently exfoliate, deep clean and remove make-up.

What do they do?
Refreshing cucumber cleansing towelettes are made to exfoliate and deep clean as they remove all traces of make-up.

How do they work?
Exfoliating microbeads on one side sweep away dead skin cells, while the smooth side deep cleans to remove make-up (including waterproof make-up) and impurities.

My Thoughts:

These towelettes are great, but not spectacular. The exfoliating microbeads are just raised little bumps. They don’t do much. It’s great for travel. I most definitely prefer Pond’s Cold Cream.

Pond’s Cold Cream ($8.79) The cool classic that removes make-up as it thoroughly deep cleans.

What does it do?
The classic rich cream deep cleans down to the pores to remove even the most stubborn make-up and impurities, while leaving skin soft and smooth.

How does it work?
Cold cream cleans thoroughly and gently, without stripping or drying and without harsh detergents. It’ll add essential moisture to dry skin, without leaving residue.

My Thoughts:

This product is amazing! So amazing, it’s part of my daily skin care regimen. It removes all types of makeup, even stubborn eye makeup. It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. I feel Pond’s Cold Cream is better than high-end makeup remover. You don’t need to use a lot, so this will last you a couple of months with daily use.
