So I don't want to completely bash on a product, but I figure I should put this out there as a warning and to prevent my wonderful readers from wasting your money.
I normally use Mary Kay's eye makeup remover, which I highly recommend. It's nice and gentle, oil-free, and I've never had any problems with it. Plus, they just developed new packaging! But I had run out and used every last bit of it I could, so I ordered some more from my mom.
Well, in the meantime I thought I'd just buy a cheap-o one and use it until my Mary Kay arrived. Bad idea. I bought Maybelline's Oil-Free Expert Eyes Eye Makeup Remover and tried using it that night.
First off, the smell of it was horrible. It smelled like I was wiping bug repellant all over my eyes.
Second, It was not easy to take my eye makeup off. It was actually quite difficult, and I couldn't seem to get all of my mascara off, it just smudged everywhere. Even when I held it on there for a few moments like it said, I was not satisfied with the results.
Third, it stung! For something that claims to be hypoallergenic and has a sole purpose of being safe to use in the eye area, there shouldn't be any reason why my eyes would be hurting when I use it.
I was very disappointed in this product. I was to the point where I dreaded taking my eye makeup off because this was so horrible for me to use. Now, it may have just been some kind of allergic reaction or something that caused the product to work like it did on me, but I would just be cautious if you choose to use this product. I didn't feel like it was safe to use on my eyes.
Lesson learned, order my MK eye makeup remover before I run out!
