No.7 Beautiful Skin Eye MakeUp Remover

Up until recently I've been using little sample bottles of Clarins and L'ancome (my favourite) eye make-up removers but when they ran out I said I'd look for a cheaper alternative. As I had a Boots No.7 voucher to use up I decided to give this one a go, so it cost me only 4.50 for 100mls which was quite the bargain.


This is one of those half oil/half other watery liquid of some sort that you have to shake really thoroughly before use. Annoyingly with this though, even when you shake it like a maniac, you still end up with more oil than water on your cotton pad and equally as annoying is that there isn't a proper cover on it to let you use as much or as little as you want- so it just pours a load out. Grr. 
Having said that, it is fragrance free and suitable for sensitive eyes, so you could do worse. When I first started using it I did find it stung slightly, but no more so than the Clarins (which I was not a big fan of) and after using it for a while, it no longer bothers me at all and causes no irritation. Most importantly, it does a good job of removing general eye make-up with no panda-eye after effects- except when it comes to certain mascaras (I have to go over my new YSL Babydoll with this a couple of times, annoyingly).
All in all this isn't a bad option but when this is finished, I'll be getting a full size of the L'ancome one instead.

  2. Yeah I'd avoid it to be honest. You know the way sometimes you're just better off spending that bit extra and getting a really good product instead of going for the cheapest one there?! *must remember that myself* :) xx
