So far, the only product I’ve finished is a 100 pack of
round cotton pads. That said, they’re an essential part of my daily beauty
routine in that I always use them to remove nail varnish and especially my eye
make-up.
When it comes to eye make-up removers, my all-time favourite
and go to product is the l’oreal gentle make-up remover which works great for
removing waterproof eye make-up as well as not irritating my sensitive eyes.
What I do is put a few drops on the cotton pad and then
press it against my eye for 15 seconds. I got this method from the youtube guru,
Elle Fowler - which works in that it gives the product time to soak into the
make-up as well as reduces the need to rub the cotton pad against your eyes.
The really great thing about this product is its
effectiveness to price.
When I was in high school, my dad gave my mum a Lancome eye
make-up set which was a tube of mascara and bottle of the bi-facil eye make-up
remover. As I was the one who actually uses make-up on a regular basis, I convinced
my mum to give me the bottle of bi-facil which I loved using.
Once the bi-facil was used up, I did some googling and
discovered that l’oreal is the parent company of lancome – which means that
products under both brands have similar formulas. Due to this little factoid, I
realised that the l’oreal eye make-up remover was likely to be similar to the
awesome bi-facil.
My haunch turned out to be correct – I’m now onto my 4th
bottle!
