Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect eye makeup remover for a very long time. I love Lancôme Bi facile but it’s just too pricey for me to justify buying it over and over. Lots of my lovely readers suggested that I try this out and I’d seen enough favourable reviews of it to pick up a bottle. The bottle looks fairly small at 150ml however it has lasted me around 4 weeks with no signs of running out any time soon. Oh and it costs £2.99. BARGAIN! Excuse the photo nicked from Boots. My laptop appears to have nicked the photo I took of the bottle and it’s all grubby and half used up now. 

It doesn’t matter how cheap it is if it doesn’t work though so what is it like? It’s a bi phase remover so you have to shake it to get then two liquid levels to mix. It doesn’t have a strong scent which is a good thing in my book. My eyes themselves are not sensitive however the skin under them is. I recently had huge problems after using an Estee Lauder remover that ended up with the skin so dry that it was peeling. You can imagine how sexy my concealer looked over flaky skin! I’ve since been using this in conjunction with the Botanics eye cream and my skin has healed beautifully. 

This removes any eye makeup with ease. For waterproof mascara I just hold the cotton wool to my eye for 5-10 seconds before wiping away. It doesn’t sting or burn my eyes or my delicate skin. There is a slight oily residue left behind but this disappears with a splash of water. 

So is this a holy grail makeup remover? It may well be. I’m not going to lie, I’m always going to try others because that’s just what I’m like. I’m a product cheat. Always looking for the next best thing. But I do know I’ll always have a bottle of this in stock in case my latest trial product goes all Estee Lauder on me x
