First up is an old favourite from The Body Shop. Their travel size Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover is perfect to throw in your bag if you're going away and it's liquid formula is gentle enough for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. They also do a waterproof version which I also love but this version is great for non waterproof makeup. I soak a cotton pad and press gently over my eye to remove and dissolve my makeup. I try not to rub as that's not great for the eyes or lashes!

A great all round cleanser and makeup remover is The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil, I have to admit I didn't love this product at first because of the smell but now it's a firm favourite and I always repurchase it! For £10 it lasts for ages and works wonders when removing heavy eye makeup. I pump the oil on the palm of my hand and rub gently around my eyes, I then add water onto my skin to remove my makeup. My skin feels pump and fresh after I wash it off and not oily or greasy. This is great if you really want to get down and dirty and remove your makeup!

A new addition to my collection is the Benefit They're Real Remover. The creamy gel feel so gentle and soothing on the eyes and really removes all traces of waterproof mascara, liner you name it! I squeeze out a small amount on a cotton pad and pat gently over my eyes, it doesn't irritate, sting or have a strong scent. If you prefer a cream formula over liquid then this is a great one to try. I also love the packaging and it's travel friendly too.

Love The Body Shop's cleansing oil but really dislike their eye makeup remover. I found it stung so badly! Never tried the Benefit one but I'm sure it's good considering how tough it is to get off their mascaras!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get an eye makeup remover, as I have very sensitive eyes. Love the look of the body shop one!

I always hold back on buying the Body Shop's chamomile cleansing oil, now I'm fully convince to buy it next time after finishing the cleanser I am using right now which is a miscellar water. Hopefully, it will work better on removing make-up!
ReplyDeleteA whole lot of serendipity
I had never seen the cleansing oil from The Body Shop, I'll have to give it a look next I time I come across the shop. I like to use the Double Effect Makeup Remover from Nivea, it's very gentle with my eyes (and entire face) and removes every single bit. It's half oily so I like to massage my face as well with it :) xx

I'd love to try the Benefit version in the future as I love the mascara from the same range but sometimes hate removing it with my normal Micellar Water as it takes a lot more time & effort than usual x
ReplyDeleteBeauty with charm
I love the cleansing butter from the Camomile range so I'm really keen to try the cleansing oil!

ReplyDeleteHi Eline, I haven't used face wipes in a while but they are good when if you're feeling lazy! Hope you had a great weekend too :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel Miriam, I love trying different cleansers! I prefer using cleaning oils over micellar waters as I don't have to use so many cotton pads!
ReplyDeleteThe Nivea cream sounds lovely, I really enjoy cleansing oils as I feel like it's a mini pamper session as well! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Naomi! Yes the Benefit one is lovely to use. xx
ReplyDeleteI used to use Micellar waters but they didn't remove my waterproof mascara! The benefit remover is great for that :) x
ReplyDeletethank you for the recommendations! love the packaging for the benefit they're real remover

CAMOMILE makeup remover? That sounds like heaven! I usually use the Clinique one (not sure of the specific name)

Garnier 2 in 1 gentle eye makeup remover (oil based) SUPER GOOD ! Can't recommend it enough x
ReplyDeleteKatina | www.katinalindaa.com
I have to try the cleansing butter next, I really like that range :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, the less steps the better! Yes the oil is so good! x
ReplyDeleteIt's so good isn't it!
ReplyDeleteHi Georgia, yes it's lovely to use ")
ReplyDeleteHaha I feel the same way, always repurchase that oil! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, I like the packaging too!
ReplyDeleteYes it's super gentle to use on the eyes! x
ReplyDeleteI do like using oil based ones, thanks for the recc Katina! x
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the Body Shop one, might give it a try. I usually use either Garnier or L'Oreal. There's one that's specifically for eyes and lips which is great if you've really plastered on a statement lip for a night out! I think that's a L'Oreal one. x

Sephora do a biphase eye make up remover that is really effective, but unless I have very heavy make up I tend to use a normal cleanser like Soap & Glory's Ultimelt or Liz Earle's hot cloth cleanser.

Oops sorry Hanh, I could've sworn I was following you before! Well I am now :P
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I love your photography :) I like the sound of the chamomile makeup removers, but my skin is quite sensitive to anything 'natural' like chamomile or lavender so I'm a bit scared haha. I've recently tried the La-roche posay micellar water and it's not too bad so far.

I know which one you mean Kate, I like that one from L'Oreal too! It's great to get your lipstick off like you said! x
ReplyDeleteBiphase ones are great for waterproof makeup. I love the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser too! x
ReplyDeleteI just made sure I'm following you too Sheri! I can imagine having sensitive skin, you're wary of certain ingredients. That's great you've found one that works for you :)
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why I don't wear waterproof mascara haha x
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I've been on the lookout for a good eye makeup remover. I've used tons and none can remove waterproof mascara without vigorous rubbing. I'm currently using Clinique's eye makeup remover, the Benefit one looks like a good one to try next! Xx
ReplyDeleteShaqinah || Shoes & Roses
you're blessed with lovely lashes that don't need waterproof mascara to keep up, haha.x
ReplyDeleteOh no, give one of these a try to remove your waterproof makeup! xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of those, I love my fancl one too much. It's an Asian brand though, so not easy to get here. I love that you always have fresh flowers =)
