When I was younger I loved to experiment with new makeup, hair care and face products. I was always on the hunt for the perfect product at the perfect price. I wear a lot of eye makeup and have always struggled with finding the right face wash and even more importantly eye makeup remover. Two products that I have used recently have been better than most high end brands I've used and are cheap! I thought I would share a quick review with some pros and cons for each; and at the end I'll give my bottom line and the one I would recommend!
Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads:
- Pros
- Nice Scent,
- Oil Free so they aren't greasy, and they don't leave a residue at all
- Hypoallergenic
- Cons
- I use one pad per eye because it doesn't remove the makeup with just one.
- It requires a good amount of scrubbing/rubbing your eye
- I've only spotted these bad boys at Target, so if I forget them on a trip I'm screwed.
Almay Longwear and Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover Pads:
- Pros
- Quickly removes my makeup with little scrubbing/rubbing
- Hypoallergenic
- Cons
- GREASY and it's bad. I tried most everything to get rid of the residue that was left even after washing my face and nothing seemed to work
- Odd smell, it's not terrible but definitely not as pleasant as it could be
- Like the Oil Free I've only spotted them at Target
Bottom Line: I wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner and would rather scrub my eye a little more with a pleasant scent than be left with residue for days. Oil Free is a must have in my opinion!
I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have tried any makeup removers that also work great and you love; please share them, I'd love to try them out.
