Eye Makeup Remover


Most of us use our handy dandy waterproof mascaras for everyday...well, I do haha, so I wanted a remover that was really going to work. I tried the AVON 'moisture effective eye makeup remover lotion' (about $4) for a while and although it did work, I wanted to try things that weren't 'lotion like'. The product comes in a little white flip top container or 2 fl. oz.

After trying this product, I decided...hmm...maybe I need something more...SO I purchased a sample size of Clean and Clear ® Soothing eye makeup remover that claims to be oil free. 
I was really excited about this product, maybe because the packaging was so darn cute. This product has a has a screw off top which might not be a good idea if you are accident pron. Anyways, this stuff wasn't horrible, but it just didn't take my mascara completely off. Here’s an example of how this product worked in my makeup removal routine. 1. Remove eye makeup. 2. Remove face makeup. 3. Remove eye make up again. 4. Apply eye cream and still try and get rid of eye makeup. GRRR!!. See the stuff just wouldn’t come off with this make up remover. SO...I heard Neutrogena had a really good eye makeup remover, but when I went to Wal-Mart I noticed they had the dupe for it by Equate and bought it. It’s called Equate ® Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover. 
 
The product is 5.5 fl oz and was about $4.The packaging is similar to the Neutrogena one and has a screw off top, which I don't really prefer, but... I really like this product. The first time I used it I thought I put too much of in on my cotton ball, but I really didn’t. I say this because the cotton ball felt cold and really wet and the product literally just came right off. I didn’t have to rub like crazy like I did with the Clean and Clear ®, and it removes the mascara, and eye shadow, and brow product all in like a sweep or the wrist. So...If I had to recommend eye makeup remover Id tell you to get the Equate ® one, or if you like the lotion feel, the AVON remover. :D
