L'OCCITANE EYES AND LIPS BI-PHASIC MAKE-UP REMOVER {REVIEW}

I've had my "eye" (excuse the pun) on this

L'Occitane 

Eyes & Lips 

Bi-Phasic Make-up Remover 

since it was launched some years back, but I refused to pay the

exorbitant price for such a small quantity.

Fast Track to a couple of months ago and I changed my mind with the

help of a 30% discount, so I finally got to try my favourite type

of eye make-up remover (Bi-Phase) from one of my favourite brands.

This bi-phasic eyes & lips make-up remover is infused with 

anti-ageing immortelle and soothing calendula from the south of France, 

this ultra-gentle make-up remover for the eyes and lips is as 

comforting as it is effective.

Can be used by all skin types, even sensitive.

I did find this product to be delicately fragranced and didn't

present any issues for me, but then I generally don't have

sensitive eye area.

As with a Bi-Phase products don't forget to shake the bottle well

 then apply with a cotton pad.

Its silky formula gently removes even the most resistant waterproof 

make-up leaving skin perfectly cleansed and eye contour comfortable.

There is no dragging of the skin whether you're using it around

the eye or over the lips.

The soothing properties can be felt and it leaves the skin free from 

any oily residue.

I really enjoyed this product, but unfortunately, for me, at full price it

just doesn't work out to be very cost effective at the rate I go through

this type of product.

In case you are wanting to know...

Are there others, just as effective, that are cheaper and that also

 come in a larger size?

 

YES... 

there are and I have reviewed many here on my blog so

MY FAVOURITE EYE MAKE-UP REMOVERS {2022}

 With the advent of Micellar Waters, Cleansing Balms and other

 multi functional cleansers, the use of eye make-up removers

seems to be on the decline.

I for one have always been a fan of using a separate product specifically

 to remove eye make-up, especially when it comes to mascara.

Over the years I have used so many and I have never written a dedicated

post re my favourites.

From all the options available whether it be a lotion, gel, micellar,

pads or bi-phase my personal favourite type of remover is the latter.

(I must make mention though that I do not have a sensitive eye area)

I will post the Pink Links below which will take you straight to my

 original reviews.

LANCÔME

BI-FACIL

MAKE-UP REMOVER

I'm starting with a high-end favourite of mine

the Lancôme Bi-Facil Make-Up Remover.

The lipid phase lifts off eye makeup, while the water phase contains

 special emollients to refresh and the condition skin, which I have found

 has become more important to me with age, as the eye area always 

requires more TLC.

What I enjoyed is that despite being non oily, it still did a good job of 

instantly removing not only my eyeshadow and mascara, but made 

light work of my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, which is

 always my benchmark as to how good an eye make-up remover truly is.

This very effective product is worthy of all its accolades and if

 your budget allows, then this is without a doubt an eye make-up to

 seriously consider.

GATINEAU

FLORACIL

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

The GATINEAU Floracil Gentle Eye Make-up Remover was my "go to" for 

many years and I revisited the product a couple of years ago

and it was just as good as I remembered and has since become my

"go to" once again.

 This non-oily, non-drying and non-irritating liquid is highly effective.

I was impressed with how quickly it dissolved my eye make-up, even the

 most stubborn of my mascaras, whilst leaving no residue behind rendering

 it an absolute breeze and pleasure to use.

As with most eye make-up removers Floracil is extremely gentle 

with the same pH as tears; which means, no stinging, irritation or puffiness.

 It's also Dermatologist tested and Fragrance Free.

YVES ROCHER

EXPRESS

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

This remover from YVES ROCHER is without doubt my favourite and my most purchased remover all of time and unfortunately since YR withdrew from South Africa I now have to stock up when on my travels and sadly due to covid my 

stash has depleted.

This is a bi-phase eye makeup remover, so expect to see the two phases

 separate out and remember to always shake well before use, otherwise 

the product will be imbalanced and not be as effective. 

The one ingredient is the Organic Cornflower Water which is renowned for being gentle on the skin round the eye and having soothing properties and 

both are often found in many eye products. 

This product is super quick and easy to use and leaves the eye area feeling refreshed, there's no stinging and no real fragrance to mention 

with this product.

For me it's a winner and I highly recommend if you have easy access to 

Yves Rocher.

GARNIER

MICELLAR WATER

If you are looking for a very affordable, yet effective product to remove both

face, eye and lip make-up then you cannot go wrong with the

Micellar Water from GARNIER.

The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is a multi purpose product, 
as it removes make-up, cleanses the face,eyes and lips, 
all without having to remove or rinse off. 

How can one product achieve so much...Well it's all down to the

 Garnier Micellar technology in this all-in-one cleanser. 
The cleansing agents attract and capture the make-up and impurities lifting 
them away from skin, leaving it perfectly cleansed and refreshed.

GARNIER now have a couple of variants, but my review was on the original

 pink packaging for sensitive skin.
