Review: Boots Botanics soothing eye makeup remover
What it Claims: (taken from the bootsus website) To keep the delicate skin around the eye in good condition it's important to remove makeup thoroughly and gently. The soothing cleanser effortlessly removes eye makeup, even waterproof mascara. The oil phase of the product removes the makeup while the Iceland moss extract helps to hydrate and calm the skin. Suitable for even the most sensitive of skin.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water, Eau); Cyclopentasiloxane; Isohexadecane; Cyclohexasiloxane; Butylene Glycol; Propylene Glycol; Methylparaben; Sodium Citrate; Benzophenone-4; 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol; Sorbitol; Cetraria Islandica Extract; Phenoxyethanol; Butylparaben; Ethylparaben; Isobutylparaben; Propylparaben; CI 19140 (Yellow 5); CI 42090 (Blue 1)
Price: $5.99
Where to buy it: Target and CVS
My Rating: 2.5 peace signs
The Good: With just one swipe across my eyelid most of the eye makeup was gone! It surprised me at first because I haven't had much luck with the half oil formula's of removers, but it still worked pretty good. Here are some pictures to show you the process...
Cotton pad with remover before. Cotton pad after...pretty nasty!
My eye after:
The Bad: As you can see in the after pic all the eyeliner on my waterline didn't come off, I was starting to have to sort of scrub it off and my eyes were getting irritated so I left it alone. To me that's the kind of make it or break it for me, the remover has to get off the eyeliner on my waterline or I don't really like it. I also had to work it for awhile to get all the mascara off. It says that it's soothing but I didn't feel any difference in it than any other remover.
Overall: It's an OK product. I was expecting a lot more because other reviews raved about it but it didn't do all I had wished it did so I guess I'm on to the next remover...
**Just MY experience and opinion of this product, you never know YOU could love it!**

Liplicious
L-R: Watermelon Sorbet, Pineapple Juice, Fresh Mulberry and Fruit Punch.
Swatches:
Pineapple juice, Watermelon Sorbet, Fruit Punch and Fresh Mulberry.
As you can see their all pretty sheer, fruit punch and mulberry have a little more pigment and they all contain shimmer, some more than others. So you kind of have to watch how much you put on because your lips will look like you stuck them in a jar of glitter, lol. Pineapple juice has the most from what I can see. They all really taste like their names, I mean I guess mulberry tastes like it even though I've never tasted mulberry before lol. The pinks all look pretty similar but they look different on, they each give your lips a different hue. So far I'm really liking these!
Have any of you ladies tried these?
