E.L.F. Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths Review

Audrey Dao — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:59:57 +0000

E.L.F. Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths ($3) Gently and easily cleans skin to remove all traces of makeup and dirt, even waterproof mascara. Great for on-the-go travel. Gentle cloths are soft and soothing for even the most sensitive skin. Infused with Aloe Vera Extract for deep hydration and moisture. 20 Pre-moistened cloths included.

My Thoughts:

I’m sorry to say the E.L.F. Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths are not my favorite cleansing cloths at all. I found the cloths irritating especially to my eyes. It kind of made my eyes burn. I also didn’t like how it didn’t leave my face feeling clean afterwards. The cloths left behind a soapy residue where it made me wash my face again. I know the instructions say to wash my face after using the cloths, but what is the point of washing afterwards? Shouldn’t I just use my regular cleanser then? Also, the cloths didn’t do a very good job removing makeup. I had to use about 2-3 of the cloths and really rub my face to remove the majority of my face makeup. It also didn’t really remove any of my eye makeup (non-waterproof eye makeup). Even though the cloths are only $3, it isn’t worth it.

Boots No7 Quick-Thinking 4-in-1 Wipes Review

Boots No7 Quick-Thinking 4-in-1 Wipes ($6.99)

Be good to your skin, even when you’re short of time, with these gentle, fragrance free wipes. They effectively cleanse and remove impurities, tone and moisturize your skin, and even remove waterproof eye make-up – all in one easy step. With vitamin pro-B5 plus extracts of witch hazel and fennel which help cleanse pores, moisturize and leave your skin feeling smooth, clean and fresh.

Created with Care. We’ve created this hypo-allergenic product using only ingredients we know and trust. It has been tried and tested by guests with even the most sensitive skin, so you’ll know it will be good to yours. Dermatologically tested. Fragrance free.

My Thoughts:

Love it, love it, love love love it. It doesn’t dry out your skin or leave back a residue. It doesn’t irritate or cause breakouts. I like how each wipe is wet with cleanser, but not soaking wet. I’ve encountered wipes that are dried up towels. Not a good thing at all. I also love how the wipes are thick so they are less prone to ripping or tearing. The wipes do a wonderful job of removing makeup. I don’t use this to remove eye makeup because it is a bit too abrasive for such a sensitive area. That is fine with me because I like to use cleanser specifically made for removing eye makeup. I like how the packaging has a plastic snap lid instead of a sticky tab. This will help prevent the wipes from drying out. I wish for $6.99 more than 30 wipes came in a package, but I’m still glad I randomly picked up these wipes. The best wipes I have ever tried so far! They are going to come in handy when I travel this summer.

Covergirl Clean Makeup Remover For Eyes and Lips Review

Audrey Dao — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 07:41:57 +0000

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.

Maybelline 100 % Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Review

Maybelline 100% Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover ($4.99)

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.

Maybelline Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover ($4.99)

Why You’ll Love It

Gently removes waterproof mascara and eye makeup.

Conditions and moisturizes delicate eye area
Hypoallergenic
Fragrance free

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 Review

Audrey Dao — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:27:44 +0000

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.

Neutrogena Eye Make Up Remover Review

Audrey Dao — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 09:42:47 +0000

Neutrogena Eye Make Up Remover ($5.99) Effective & gentle. Remove seven waterproof mascara. No oily residue. 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 Review

Audrey Dao — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:49:39 +0000

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 Review

Audrey Dao — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:34:44 +0000

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.
