Best Eye Makeup Remover For Sensitive Eyes

I have been on the hunt for a good eye makeup remover for a while. Eye makeup is typically what I wear most often but I have very sensitive eyes. Although the makeup does not irritate my eyes, the majority of eye makeup removers I have tried end up burning! I finally came across one that works for me, so I wanted to share for all of those looking for an eye makeup remover for sensitive eyes. I also included a few others that I have tried.

Eye Makeup Remover Pads by Simple Review:

More info here: Simple Skin Care Site

I am a big fan of the Simple face wipes and decided to give these a try when I saw them at my local Target the other day. These pads are gentle and take off even the most stubborn eye makeup. They aren't greasy and don't leave residue. Best of all, they don't irritate my eyes at all! You can find Simple products at almost any drug store or Target.

Abolene Moisturizing Cleanser Review:

This one is a close second, Abolene moisturizing cleanser for makeup removal. This is non irritating, but my only  complaint is that it is a little on the greasy side. If that doesn't bother you, then this is a good one as well. It can be found at CVS or Walgreens

Here are some others I have tried but have not had as great results with:

1. Almay Hypo-allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads Review:

I had such high hopes for these since Almay usually produces non-irritating, hypo-allergenic products,  and it is an "Allure Beauty Editors Pick". Unfortunately, they are super greasy and tend to just smudge the makeup around. It takes a couple different pads to remove all of your eye makeup. These would leave my eye irritated most of the time as well. This product can be found in almost any drug store, Target, or Walmart. 

2. Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover from The Body Shop Review:

Available here: The Body Shop

This was anything but gentle! The consistency was not greasy though and did make it easy to remove makeup. If it weren't for the irritation, I would have recommended this one.

3. Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Remover Review:

Available here: Clinique.com

Usually I really like Clinique eye products (especially their eye cream) because it does not irritate my eyes. Naturally you would assume that this would be sting free, however it sadly was not. On a positive note, it did do a good job of removing the makeup without feeling greasy.

4. Studio 35 Cleansing & Makeup Removing Towelettes Review:

Available Here: Walgreens

This is the Walgreens brand version which is supposedly comparable to Pond's Original All Day Cleansing Towelettes. I haven't tried the Pond's ones, but these just make my eyes burn. It's unfortunate because towelette form is my favorite because it is super convenient. 

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Review

Eyeliner is the one type of make up I typically wear daily (I don't wear foundation, so this is my go to). I usually go for classic black, but I wanted to find another color that would be neutral enough to wear everyday and would compliment my eyes. I have recently fallen in love Urban Decay because their products are highly pigmented and typically what you see in the tub or pallet, is the color you will get when it's on. So naturally, I checked out what type of eyeliner Urban Decay had to offer. I like liquid eyeliner because it has staying power, gives you a cleaner line, and I personally find it easier to apply. I came across their 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner and have to say it was very hard to choose just one color because they were all so gorgeous! I settled on Smog, which the website describes it as "deep brown w/golden shimmer and iridescent sparkle",  but I think it has more of a green tint when on. Now I don't typically like sparkle in my eyeliner, but it is subtle and actually makes the color stand out even more.


Here are all the colors that are available:

This eyeliner also had an interesting applicator, which was very thin. I was worried about it at first since it was so thin, but it really helped with precision and gives a great line. Here is a picture of it:

Here is the swatch of the 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Smog:

The only drawback I found for this product was that it is hard to remove. I use either Vitamin E oil or gentle eye makeup remover on a Q-Tip to remove it gentle. Other than that, it is a great product and the color is great because it gives a pop of color while being somewhat neutral at the same time. 

My Second Stitch Fix Review!

I was super excited about getting another Stitch Fix, especially since the first time was fun and I got a couple nice pieces. Well, this time didn't go so well.

Anyways, on with this review:

Item 1 - Monique Double Breasted Trench Coat (Price $78):  

 

The first 2 pictures are the coat that Stitch Fix sent, and the last is the trench coat that I already have. As you can see, it's a similar style, so they did well matching it to my style, but the one I already have is Burberry and I don't really need two similar styles. Also, the fabric felt a little cheap on the Stitch Fix coat. Back in the box it goes. 

Item 2 - Ukita Striped Jersey Cowl Neck Tank (Price $38):

                                  

Stripes don't really work for me because I have a larger bust. I did add a note to my Stitch Fix profile telling them that I had a larger bust, but alas, they missed the mark by sending stripes. On a positive note, it looks great on the hanger and the colors were nice, but it just not  for me.

Item 3 - Multi Chain Layered Short Necklace (Price $38):

I thought this was cute, but not worth the $38 price tag. Back it goes!

Item 4 - Tommie Colorblock Peplum Tank Top (Price $58):

      

Where do I even begin with this one? When I took this out of the box, I was tempted to put it back in without even trying it on, but for the sake of this post, I forged on. Well it was just as bad on as it was on the hanger. It also made me look big in my midsection with the weird sash-like cream piece. And $58.00? No thanks.

Item 5 - Milo Printed Pleated Detail Skirt (Price $58):

  

The style of this skirt is great. It's flowy and comfortable. I'm a little hesitant on the color/print since I usually don't go for deep red-orange, but for some reason I like it. Here is my only complaint - they sent me the wrong size! My invoice and the Stitch Fix tag states size small, but the skirt tag states size medium. Because of the size difference, it sits too low on my hips. Here is what it should look like:

With the correct size, it cinches in my waist, which is something I need since I have a bigger bust (if it were to sit low on the hips, it makes me appear wider than I am and is unflattering).


Even though it didn't really work out for the best this time, I will most likely order again. However, I was thinking about doing it monthly, but after this batch, it will probably be every once and a while.
