L'Oreal Gentle Makeup Remover

L'Oreal Gentle Makeup Remover for removing make up from eyes and even lips. I had a big wide smile when i used this eye makeup remover..i'm so happy i found a product "still not comparable with Chanel's" but something that will work perfectly with me..no burning sensation, not oily and not too dry and it superly removed make up in no time..i dont have to rub that much..its very gentle and it does work good.

Compared with NIVEA's

The only downfall of the product is its packaging, the cap can hardly be opened without a struggle and the product comes out from one side and i dont understand why. When i use CHANEL's all i have to do is point the hole to the cotton and the product comes out in straight light directly into the cotton, but this one comes out from one side so i usually lose some product in the process. I even tried placing the cotton above the hole but the product doesnt come out as much as i want it to be.

I dont think it will last long with me, only if i found a way to save the product from coming out this way.

OLAY Derma-Pods

Lately i have noticed that drugstore brands are getting into another level, more advanced, more creative and definitely more affective.

They started to compete with the expensive lines and i think its really good for the pocket :-) I'm tired of spending thousand of dirhams on cosmetics and at the end i don't get any result, at least a couple of hundreds wont be a waste.

I've been waiting for this product to hit our stores in Abu Dhabi, it arrived in Dubai months before and i am still pissed off about how late we always get everything.

Anyways,

The OLAY regenerist eye micro derma-pods are small bags filled with serum and it is attached with a round flat sponge.

"Advanced regeneration cell by cell for renewed, brighter skin around the eye".
1. gently resurfaces skin appearance, cell by cell.
2. reduces puffiness.
3. fills lines and wrinkles.

21 applicators in he box

The box has 21 applicators, you just need to use it 3 times a week. Just take one applicator, squeeze it so the serum will fill the sponge, then apply it gently above the eyes and below, then massage around the eyes.

My opinion: i absolutely love this product and i actually use it as an eye cream because it doesn't feel like a serum at all, the serum is perfectly enough for both eyes and it leaves the area very soft and smooth.

I have found it at Carrefour-Marina Mall. If you found it anywhere else please let me know :-)

NIVEA Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover

I'm not really good in drugstore products, and i dont trust them much especially when it comes to my skin. And i've been looking for years for a replacement to my CHANEL Demaquillant Yeax Intense  Eye Make Up Remover but so far its the best one i've used.

When i saw the NIVEA VISAGE Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover on the shelf i thought to myself that the packaging looks pretty decent which is why i bought it, and i thought to myself, and prayed a little, that it might finally be THE replacement for my CHANEL one..but it didnt..

The product is not bad and it does a great job removing the make up which i suffer using other brands, when i apply the formula on a cotton it glides smoothly on my eye and removes make up very well, i dont have to rub very hard and it doesnt take long for the eye make up to be removed. I even tried the most hard mascara i've got so far and it removed it very easily..

Its only problem, and my problem with most of the brands, that the solution burns my eyes, i cannot quite understand why. I've tried so many products and it always happen to me..it could be my eyes that are too sensitive..

When i went back to my CHANEL i felt so relieved..its the smoothest eye make up remover i've ever used so far and its very gentle on my eyes. I absolutely love it..

Garnier Eye Roll-On

Garnier Skin Renew Eye Roll-On claims to reduce under eye puffiness and dark circles in a week. One of the main ingredients (and the secret) of this product is Caffeine, just like it stimulates our body cells and awakens it, it does the same to the eye whether its in cream or gel. 

The caffeine stimulates the skin and tightens the area by reducing the fluid or moisture which causes the bags under the eyes. It also increases the blood flow that helps repairing the skin which reduces the dark circles.

 Now, i've used this product for about 10 days, i still cannot see any difference in the dark circles, but it does reduce the puffiness in the morning and this is when i like using it. Plus the cool rolling motion relaxes my eyes and awakens them. 

This pretty much reminds me of a product i used last year by Clinique called all about eyes serum, its an anti-puff eyes massage except that this product didnt reduce any puffiness, i only liked using it because of the cooling sensation, and it really feels good. 

Those eye rollers are not to be used as eye moisturizers, the formula dries out quickly.

Garnier product is sold at main supermarkets.
