Navellina

First thing before I move on to the review, I want to apologise for the lack of post. I’m back to university which means I get a lot of assignments. Now that it’s slowing down a bit, I could spare some time to write this post. I will try to manage my time better so I could post here regularly because honestly, I miss posting on this blog a lot. Thank you for understanding J. Now let’s continue to the review.

I’ve been a loyal user of Maybelline Eye & Lips Makeup remover for about 3 years. I love it because it’s cheap and does its job quite nicely. But, I decided to try out some other eye makeup removers out there. First brand that I chose was Simple because I’ve been quite satisfied with their products and it’s safe for sensitive eyes (I don’t think I have sensitive eyes, but better safe than sorry right?). It also claims to be able to remove waterproof mascara, which is something that I really look for since I wear waterproof mascara almost every day. It was RM 19.90 (about $5.50) from Watsons.

First thing that I like, other than the price that is quite affordable, is it doesn’t leave your skin feel oily. It feels almost like pure water when I used it to remove my eye makeup. It also doesn’t have artificial perfume or colour, which is a good thing because I don’t want anything especially with artificial perfume near my eyes. Other thing is, it claims to have 2 vitamins in it, which are pro-vitamin B5 (listed as Panthenol) and vitamin E (listed as Tocopheryl Acetate). I don’t really know my science, but I know that those two things are good for your skin. Who doesn’t want to remove their makeup and also give some vitamins to their skin? For me, this is an additional point for this product.

Sadly, I don’t think this product actually works for removing my eye makeup. I put a few drops of this on a cotton pad, press it gently on my eyelids for a few seconds, and then I swiped it across my eyelids. Nothing other than a few flakes of my waterproof mascara came out. After a few swipes, I finally managed to get my mascara off my lashes. But still, it left me with panda eyes.

So I would say that I’m not quite satisfied with it. Here’s to continuing the journey of finding the perfect eye makeup remover!

Which eye makeup remover would you recommend?
