Estée Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

I ran into this product a couple years ago when my sister left some of her makeup products at home.  My my.  I have been in love ever since.  Out of the many eye makeup remover I have used, this has got to be THE best one.  I have really sensitive eyes which means oily removers bring me huge discomfort.  Although it is a bit high-end, it is completely worth it.

Applying: It is extremely light.  It feels like I'm washing my eyes with water and there's hardly any irritation.  Even if a little product get in my eyes, it feels like nothing.  There's absolutely no oily substance left over leaving no residue.

Effectiveness: It gets off almost all my eye makeup off with ease.  Dab some on a cotton ball, gently rub it over your eyelids, clean up the excess with q-tips, and you're done.

Final Thoughts: I highly recommend this product to anyone with sensitive eyes.  Although it is priced at $18, this is a splurge I will be willing to spend.  It is highly effective and non-greasy making every penny worth it.

CLIO Gelpresso Eyeliner Review

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a review of the CLIO Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Golden Black.  It is a Korean eyeliner so it is difficult to find in regular US beauty stores; however, you can order them at some online stores that sell Korean cosmetic products.

Color: Matte black with subtle hints of gold and silver glitter - gives a nice tone-downed sparkle to the black color.

Applying: I have to say that it applies pretty well.  It is not too smooth so you do have to draw back and forth to get the right amount.

How long it lasts: I put the eyeliner on in the morning around 9 AM and by 4 PM it started smudging and transferred to my lower lash line making me look like I had raccoon eyes.

Taking it off: Very Difficult.  I use my amazing Estee Lauder Eye Makeup Remover which removes almost every eye makeup I use without difficulty.  However, the Gelpresso Eyeliner would not come off with the remover and it almost looked like the eyeliner stained my eyelids.  I used twice as much remover than I usually do, which made me want to not use the eyeliner again.

Final Thoughts: It is not a go-to product for me.  The fact that it smudges after a while and is extremely difficult to get off are big turnoffs for me especially because I am an avid fan for long-lasting eyeliner.  Recommended for short-term wear (dinner dates, going shopping, watching movies, etc...)
