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.

RECENT BEAUTY EMPTIES {OCTOBER 2020}

Even though I say it myself I am getting better at saving my
empty products so I can show you which I liked and have finished and those 

that I would re-purchase.

L-R

1.

CAUDALIE

 Instant Foaming Cleanser

The Instant Foaming Cleanser has been a permanent fixture in my 

shower now for over a year and I have yet to buy this product.

I received 3 x 50mls sizes in various free gifts and these handy travel sizes 

have kept me going, until now.

As many of my readers will already know,I've learned to enjoy

 foam/oil cleansers far more over the last 2-3 years, as I've always been 

a cleansing milk/lotion lover.

Even though I don't use it daily I do use it regularly for ease, to cleanse my

skin whilst I'm in the shower.

ELEMIS

revitalise-me

Hand & Body Wash

I was gifted this ELEMIS product by a friend back in 2019, yet I only started 

using at the beginning of this year and I've so enjoyed using it.

I have not actually written a review on this product, so here's a 

mini review.

I'm a huge fan of quality Hand Washes, hence the reason I was bought

 it as a gift and it didn't disappoint.

I used mine as a hand wash and didn't try it as a body wash and it promises

to cleanse, revive and uplift the skin.

Powerful essential oils of Thyme, Basil and Neroli are conditioning and gentle

on the skin and also make this product smell very "Spa" like, which

was heavenly every time I washed my hands.

I find the better quality the hand wash is, the longer it lasts, as you only

need to use a small amount.

I don't think this particular ELEMIS product is available in South Africa

and mine was bought in the UK and it retails for £28.00 for 300 mls

and I'm very sorry to see this luxury hand wash finish.

3.

BATH & BODY WORKS

WHITE BARN

LAVENDER VANILLA

CANDLE

Again I think this is a product that I have never reviewed before here on 

Beauty Shout Box. Bath and Body Works is a brand that we don't have

in South Africa or in the UK, however Dubai has several stores 

and even a concession now at Dubai Airport, so as you can imagine a visit

is always a must when either stopping off or passing through the airport.

My regular purchases are the PocketBac, candles and liquid hand washes

and seeing I was last there in February I have a nice little stash to

keep me going for a while.

White Barn is a sister brand to Bath & Body Works and have the most

divine selection of affordable fragranced candles.(even in Rands)

 Not only do they give a good

amount of fragrance during burning, but they also burn down

evenly and well. They're also one of the few candles that actually burn 

down. to the bottom of the container.

I would highly recommend buying if you ever get the chance.

4.

LABELLO

Crayon Lip Balm

This was one of two purchases during our strict lockdown and I'm

afraid that will be how I remember this product, that being said I

do love the LABELLO crayons and have two of their 3 shades.

They're so easy to carry around and apply. The colour payoff is

good and a re-purchase of the shade in the photo is on the cards.

 My only complaint with this product, would be their poor shade selection 

and would love to see more shades on offer.

SIMPLE

WATER BOOST

Micellar Cleansing Water

This was also a purchase from Dubai back in February, and whilst

we do have a small range of SIMPLE products here in South Africa I

don't think we yet have the Water boost range. 

As a cheap and cheerful Micellar Water I enjoyed and would re-purchase

and if you would like to read more in my full review click here

GATINEAU

FLORACIL

Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

This was somewhat of a trip down memory lane with this eye make-up

remover and a good one at that.

I loved the product way back then and its still as good as I remember it,

so a re-purchase is definitely on the "Beauty Cards".

GATINEAU FLORACIL GENTLE EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER {REVIEW}

Having worked, many years ago for Gatineau or Jeanne Gatineau, as it was named back then, using this FLORACIL Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover was a real "Blast from the Past"

and I had forgotten just how good this product was.

This Original Floracil Gentle Eye Make-up Remover is just as cooling and refreshing as I remember. Its 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.

 Floracil is extremely gentle with the same pH as tears; which means, no stinging, irritation or puffiness. Its also Dermatologist tested and Fragrance Free.

I'm so happy to have re-discovered this blue bottle of soothing effectiveness...
