While we focus most of our attention on putting ON makeup, what we use to get it off is just as important! One of my getting-ready-for-bed essentials is Klorane’s Eye Make-Up Remover Pads.
These gentle, non-oily, cornflower-infused pads take off almost every stitch of eye-makeup with irritating even the most delicate, sensitive eye skin (namely mine).  They also smell lovely – no doubt due to the cornflower infusion- though the smell also reminds me of sunflowers (even better, right?)
A tub of 50 is just $8.99 at Amazon.com.
Do you have a favorite eye makeup remover? If so, I’d love to hear about. …read more

Borghese’s Gel Delicato is a gentle makeup remover that is oil-free and fragrance-free. It’s compromised of this sea green gel that you apply to a cotton pad and are able to use for removing makeup off your entire face–because really–I hate those makeup removers that are soley for your eyes.
Gel Delicato contains Lavender, Comfrey and Acqua di Vita® “Living Water” Complex to condition skin and restore moisture.
This really is a gentle and lightweight makeup remover and once you use it over your entire face, you just follow up with your normal facial cleanser (I also hear that their Fango Mud …read more

It’s $19 for 8oz. and here’s what they say:

I think I have found the Holy Grail of makeup removers. I really hadn’t ventured on past my MK Oil-free Makeup remover and Neutrogena Oil-free makeup remover. I had given up hope that there really was a true non-greasy feeling makeup remover out there. They may be oil-free, but I hate the aloe vera “oil slick” feeling after using them.
So I was sent Korres Jasmine Eye Makeup Remover and told it was oil-free. I didn’t have high hopes for it if I am being honest, but willing to to give it a shot.
How Korres describes this product:
A herbal lotion that …read more

There are so many products by e.l.f. that I love. Their Hypershine Gloss, Moisture Care Lip Color, Super Glossy Lip Shine and Nail Polish Remover Pads to name a few. However, the Eye Makeup Remover is sadly not on that list of love.
The Eye Makeup Remover Pads come just as the Nail Polish Remover pads do, in a small disk of 18 round soaked pads. There is no heavy scent. When I first swiped the pads over my eyes, all seemed well, but it was when I had to push a little harder to remove my mascara that things became …read more

I’ve procrastinated and procrastinated and now I am out of makeup remover. I typically have used Mary Kay’s Makeup Remover, but I feel it is time to move on.
For a few months I had been thinking about “Not on my Pillow” by Benefit, but looking through their site tonight, I was so disappointed to see that they no longer sell it. So now I am on the hunt for a good makeup remover.
These are just a few I am thinking about:

Shiseido’s Elixir Perfect Makeup Cleansing Oil.
Although it is an oil, the description says that it doesn’t leave a sticky or …read more
