Around 7 years ago, I had severe eye allergies that made me wore sunglasses even at night (yes, I'm singing the song on top of my head now!). It took me 3 full months for my eyes to completely heal so from then on, I learned how sensitive my eyes are so I made sure to invest time, effort and money to take care of my eyes! I make sure to clean my eyes with a gentle eye makeup remover EVERY night before I go to sleep.
After trying high and low on various brands of eye makeup remover, I have a conclusion on what my requirements of a good eye make up remover should be ---
- Does not sting the eye.
- Non-oily.
- Removes ALL traces of makeup, yes, even the waterproof ones.
- Should have a calming effect.
Recently, I "hit the pan" on Benefit's Remove It Makeup Remover so it was perfect timing when I got the Pevonia Botanica Ligne Yeux Eye Make-Up Remover from Elaine of Pevonia. (Thanks Elaine!) Elaine told me that most Pevonia partner spas use this to remove makeup before commencing any facial!
After using this for a couple of weeks (almost a month), I'm ready to share my opinion on this luxurious eye make-up remover!
Pevonia says ---
Cleanse without irritation! Calming and
decongesting, Eye Make-up Remover is a refreshing way to thoroughly
cleanse eyelids and eyelashes. Gently aqueous and non-irritating, it
combines Lettuce, Cucumber, and Arnica to remove your eye make-up
without pressure or friction. Also suitable for contact lenses or
sensitive eyes.
