Biotherm Eye Makeup Remover

I tried the sample of this Biotherm eye makeup remover other day and it has gotten my thumbs up:

I didn’t notice the price of it at the counter though, but I’ll consider it as good, together with my favourite Kanebo and Kate eye makeup removers (reviews here).

While the Kate remover is not available in Singapore, they’re readily available in just about any Watsons store in Taiwan for less than $20, which is cheap. The bottle looks like this:

Give them a try and you’ll be converted, particularly if you use layers of stubborn – and hence water and oil-proof – mascara like Majolica Majorca.

eye makeup remover review

a very unimaginatively titled post, but i mainly wanted to say that Clinique’s rinse-off eye makeup solvent is a LOUSY eye makeup remover.

i use fairly heavy-duty mascara – Majorlica Majorca most times – and Clinique’s remover could hardly remove half of what I had on. I tried all the tricks: holding the cotton pad against my eye for 10 seconds, applying a little bit more pressure (which you’re not meant to do), etc, but they didn’t work. I’d even lost two eyelashes in the process!

Actually, today I had applied a few coats of Majorlica Majorca first and then Clinique’s lash power volumising mascara – so it seems like Clinique’s eye makeup remover can’t even remove its own brand of eye makeup.

MEGA FAIL.

For good eye makeup removers, I’d recommend these two instead: Kate eye makeup remover and Kanebo’s eye makeup remover. Actually both are under the same brand, although I don’t think the Kanebo one is available in Singapore.

All I ever had to do was just wipe the cotton pad across my eyelids and voila – the mascara would come off really easily. For Kate, depending on how much mascara I have on (I usually have several coats), I might actually have to hold the cotton pad against my eyelid for a few seconds – but it’s still a very effective, easy to use eye makeup remover.

Those 2 are fabulous – I value ease of use very much in eye makeup removers and those two fit the bill perfectly. Try them if you get bored easily like I do from just counting to ten while waiting for lousier eye makeup removers to take effect.
