Bye Bye Black Eye!

I found it!  An eye makeup remover that ACTUALLY WORKS!  It's been around for quite some time and many a magazine and/or blogger have already raved about it.  I FINALLY gave it a try about 6 months ago...and can truly say it is better than any other I have tried.  (And I've tried many!)

Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover

It takes off every last little bit of your eyeliner and mascara. I promise!  It's gentle on the eye area and non-greasy.  Shake the bottle, apply onto your remover pad and then press and hold on the eye area, gently dabbing away every trace of makeup.  Remember to shake, because that's how you combine the bi-phase formula (lipid and water). 

Yes...gentle on the eyes and still works!!








In the past I've tried several drugstore brand removers, sephora brand, and origins brand.  The "better at removing" formulas are harsh to the eye (i.e Neutrogena which is powerful but makes my eye area red).  The gentle ones...like Origins...just don't do the job.  And while my main wish was to find a remover that could take off every last trace, it would be nice to find something non-irritating as well.  Everything you want in an eye-makeup remover is right here in Lancome.  Warning...it's pricey...which is why I avoided it for a while.  But the eye area is just too important!

  2. I only wear eye makeup...so I've tried a countless number of makeup removers for the eye and have not found any that work. Either they are too oily for my skin or leave my eye area extremely dry. So I currently use Vaseline, which I have to scrub with soap after to get rid of the Vaseline.

    I'll have to try this one out! Thanks! Do you recommend any particular remover pad?

    1. It's so hard to find a good one. And Vaseline is probably a great way to get the makeup off. Try this...it's pricey but better than anything else I've tried. I use cotton rounds to remove. Not cotton balls, but the thin rounds you can get at any drugstore. Also I get the premium ones, they are usually like $1 more and padded better.
