URIAGE WATERPROOF EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER {REVIEW}

 Uriage 

is a French brand that I have only tried a couple of products from

and I see that its recently been added to Woolworths product line-up.

Here is a reminder as to what Uriage is all about.

"In the heart of the French Alps, Uriage Thermal water has flowed

 for 75 years. 
As the seasons pass by, it gets enriched with minerals and trace elements. 
In the center of the Uriage-les-Bains village, the water spouts to

 create a regenerating thermal spring. 

Unique properties are born from this journey. 
Uniquely rich, it reinforces your skin barrier. 

100% physiological, Uriage Thermal Water is active and natural. 
Uriage laboratory encapsulates its benefits in all products.
Uriage skincare products are pure, protective and powerful"

Some weeks ago I was needing an eye make-up remover and I 

opted for their Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover, not that I wear

very much waterproof eye make-up, but it's a bi-phase formula,

which I generally enjoy.

This product can also be used to remove lipstick and cleanse the lips.

The formula of Waterproof Eye Make-up Remover has been specially 

designed for women with sensitive eyes (not that I have)

It can remove even the most intense make-up (which I don't wear)

 very quickly and its the "very quickly" part that drew me in.

This product is also :

 Hypoallergenic,Fragrance-free and Ophthalmologically tested.

As with any bi-phase product it's vital to shake well before each use

 to mix the 2 phases together.

The make-up removing effectiveness is due to its dual-phase formula: 

the oil phase dissolves waterproof make-up while the aqueous phase

 keeps the product from feeling greasy, unfortunately this is where I had 

an issue with this product. 

Whilst it does remove eye make-up and mascara

quickly and super easily it does leave behind a film of grease, which I

personally didn't enjoy, however this

was quickly remedied with a wipe over of a micellar water pad,

a step by the way that's never needed with any of my other bi-phase

eye make-up removers. If you would like to read my previous

It does seems counter productive considering that this remover contains

 Cornflower floral water and Uriage Thermal Water, the "water" part,

which both soothes and ensures a feeling of comfort actually

leaves a feeling of greasiness behind. 

(I did try adjusting the amount applied and shaking the bottle more vigorously,

 but that slippy film was always left behind on the skin)

That being said, if you don't mind the extra step, this is excellent

remover and I'm sure it would make easy work of all types of waterproof

eye make-up, especially mascaras and stubborn lipsticks...
