L'Oréal Gentle Eye Makeup Remover


I want to to put them in two separate posts as a comparison, sort like good vs bad. This is eye makeup remover is said to be oil free, and much more gentle even for sensitive eyes. There is just one problem, it doesn't wok since there is no oil in it. The science behind any effective makeup removers is that it mixes oil and grease together so your makeup would come straight off. Unfortunately, this one failed the test for me. The only good aspect is that since it is oil free, you can rub or tug however you want.

I would say skip it unless you have very sensitive eyes.

L'Oréal Gentle Waterproof Eye And Lip Makeup Remover


This is maybe the best, most effective and best money value eye makeup remover I ever had. It can instantly remove the toughest mascara, eyeliner, or any eye makeup you had on! I  normally just soak one cotton pad, and cover my lids for 10 seconds, then swipe it off. Voila! Everything come off so easily!

It consists of two layers which one is the mineral oil, and the other is the solution part. Before using it, it needed to be mixed together that can be done by a few shakes. Don't rub it into your eyes because of the mineral oil in it. It may clog pores around your eye areas. The price is a very important factor that I would strongly recommend it to everyone I know. It is only a fraction of the costs of some expensive ones such as Bi Facil, but works just as well.

Rimmel Eyeful Eye Glistener - 100 Girls Only!


I had my share of makeup junks. I thought I had learn to avoid disappointment until I run into this one. I bought it out of the recommendation on one of the blog I was following. Yeah, believe it or not, I fall into the trap of marketing sponsored bloggers. I know, I know, I should have checked on MUA. Well, now I'm paying for not doing that.  

Here is a swatch of the Eye Glistener:


It is a golden shimmered light purple-pink. I really do like the color, but not how it performed. Supposedly, it can be used as a shadow/eyeliner. I have slightly oil lids, and it just ceased like crazy!! I wore it on a day out with a friend, what a mistake that was! I had shadow base on, and it ceased into this gross line on my lids and I couldn't even reapply it which just made it worse. Don't even dream about using it as a liner! It is not gonna stay on for even 5 minutes! I had tried shadows from Rimmel, and they worked great but not this one.

Nars dual ended lip gloss + Bourjois and Gosh Mascaras

The summer is here, and I need to do some cleanings starting with my makeup. I hate to keep make-ups i no longer use. Compulsively, I've to throw them out, and I figure it would be nice I could keep a record of them.

Nars dual ended lip gloss - Giza/Boogie Nights

I hate it! I hardly ever used it. It didn't smell nice, the colors looked horrible, and it is just way overpriced for its sticky quality. Giza is a soft pale color. It has no shimmer, just sheer. In other words, it has no color! Boogie Nights is a metallic berry color. Same thing as Giza, very very sticky and stinks.



Bourjois Mascara - Volume Clubbing Ultra Black

As the name suggested, wearing it at night! It smudges on me, but I haven't found anything not. It does truly gives volume, but the thick formula makes it clumpy. All in all, with a lash comb in hand, it's not too bad.

Gosh Mascara - Amazing Length'n Build

It does nothing more than a $8 one from any drugstore brand. I bought it in a fun color, like the jet-blue. I mostly wear with my fake lashes for some drama.:) Buyers beware! I just find out this product has been RECALLED in Europe in 2009!!
