I picked a small bottle of this up at the Sephora check out after my HG Balms Away remover dissapeared for a week while my daughter was out of town. I thought that because it was from BE I'd have better luck because most liquid removers irritate my eyes pretty badly or just dont work well. This removes well but is about impossible to remove completely from your eye/lash line even if I wash with soap and water after so some eventually migrates into my eyes causing irritation and blurriness. I don't know what kind of skin benefits this could possibly provide your eye area because even a tiny amount on a q-tip for a touch up doesn't absorb at all and is a bigger pain to remove than the run away eye liner. Make sure that you absolutely do not use this within a couple days of an eyebrow wax or be sure to use toner thouroughly or you could be in for a nasty break out. I used this remover about 24 hours after a wax to get off some long wear eyeshadow and my skin went crazy. I had a break out in both brow areas. Not a good look. This stuff just leaves a resudue that doesn't want to come off and clogs pores. My Balms Away is back from vacation so maybe I can finish this stuff off by using it for manicures. I'm glad it works for some and it does remove well but what good is a remover that needs a remover?

This is my Holy Grail make up remover. It is a bit pricey but it does not make my eyes or skin burn that most products and that is a huge plus. It leaves a moist feeling, so I just take a towel when down and do a once over to remove the left over oil feeling. This product removes everything.

Unfortunately, I do not like this at all. There are three reasons:
-If you get the makeup remover into the eyes, it stings like a bitch. Also your eye sight get very cloudy.
-The bottle leaks, and it is therefore hard to travel with.
-It leaves a greasy film after use.

As it happens, it does remove eye makeup well, and on FeelUnique the price is not bad, about 12 GBP for 50 ml. But it is not worth it. At all.

This removes makeup well, but it gave me swollen eyelids! The only way it didn't give me swollen eyelids was to follow these steps:



1. Wash my eyelids with soap and water
2. Shake the bottle as directed and use a Q-tip and a small dab of this make-up remover to remove excess make-up
3. Wash my eyes thoroughly with water



This product claims to soothe and replenish the tender skin around the eye area, but I would not recommend this to people with sensitive skin.

I have to share this with you ladies. BE e/s remover is the best!!! It will take off any eye makeup that you have. I have never seen this product advertised at all. So, by word of mourth, I am spreading the word. I have used this product for over a year and with the Halloween makeup I had on, waterproof to the max!! no problem getting it off. Not only does your eye makeup come off with ease, this product actually conditions your eye lashes. I have seen new lashes that prior to me using this product I havent seen in years! Again, thanks Leslie for this product!! Spread the word!!

I love most things Bare Minerals, but this product made my eyes BURN. It hurt so bad and my eyes were red and irritated and the skin was peeling after the first use! I would not recommend this to anyone!

I have never really been a fan of eye makeup removers. They usually are oily, ineffective, or make my eyes sting. Not so with this wonderful product! It takes everything off. Even waterproof mascara. It actually does feel refreshing on my eyes and doesn't irritate or burn or making anything itch. I have even opened my eyes during application and found this to be the case. There isn't any greasy feeling - just a clean refreshing feeling. It is a fantastic product and completely easy to use.

I got this because I wanted a cheaper alternative to Lancome's Bifacil eye makeup remover. Well, it removed my waterproof mascara and eyeliner but it also stung my eyes. It also didn't remove the mascara as easily as the Bifacil does.

i have trouble finding a good eye makeup remover that i like. i have tried them all and really like this one. it takes my eye makeup off right away. so many others i have tried you have to scrub and countless cotton balls later it is finally off. this is a one cotton ball type of thing and i love it. reasonable price and it's a pretty blue! :)

I thought that because this is a BE product, it would prove to be yet another winner. However, there are a feew problems with it. First, packaging. I can't stand the top. I wish they had given it a flip top instead of a push down top which gives me a harder time controlling the amount I put on my cotton pad or q-tip. And second, consistancy. I understand that the oil in the product is used for moisturizing and for getting rid of waterproof makeup. It's way too oily for my liking. I find that I'm constantly wiping off my eyes with a cotton pad to get rid of the greasiness. This is not for me.

I bought the eye makeup remover in the little swab form in a plastic box. The product cannot remove that much eye makeup. I had trouble removing the eyeshadow from a single eyelid. The swab end became saturated with makeup and I could not remove any more makeup. Instead, it seemed I was just smearing the makeup on the q-tip back onto my eyelid when I reached the second eyelid. It would probably be good if you have light amounts of eyeshadow on or maybe just eyeliner, but it definitely does not work well for me.
Edit:
Oh my gosh, it burns my eyes like no other as well, geez. Awful.

On The Spot. Sells at specialty strores for 5.00USD. Works well and very cool product delivery system. I am not sure whether it's worth the cost, however. Not practical for me-even for use at the gym. I prefer the feel of a moistened pad with remover on my eyes.

this stuff burns my eyes and smells like nail polish remover. after using it a couple of times i started thinking that maybe they DID give me nail polish remover by accident, and i started freaking out that i had been putting it on my eyes. i don't think it did any permanent damage, but i don't think it's makeup removing capabilities are worth the pain.

I think this is a silicone type remover, which will dissolve the waterproof stuff soap-based ones can't touch, but won't leave your skin as oily as the oil-based. I was glad to find it at first because I always wanted to find something that worked as good as an oil-based without the greasy mess and difficulty washing off (what are you supposed to use on your eyes afterwards? most cleansers say avoid the eyes). BUT, after a few weeks of using this I tried MAC cleanse-off oil and will never go back to anything else. It is oil-based BUT specially formulated so the oil turns milky and dissolves when you rinse with water. I'm just using this for dabbing under the eye with a q-tip if my mascara needs correcting.

This is a little strong. It burns my eyes a bit. It tends to leave a film on and around my eyes after I use it. Maybe it's supposed to do that, but it's kinda weird. I find myself rubbing harder than I think I should need to; it doesn't seem to dissolve mascara (non-waterproof) that well. It's not uncommon for me to have a bit of raccoon eye after using this remover, and I'm not *that* heavy on the mascara. This stuff is pretty expensive for a so-so product. I don't think it's worth the price and I won't repurchase.

I really like this product, not harsh, doesn't bother my eyes. Takes off my eye make up. I don't wear water proof so I can't tell you if it works on that.

This product gently took off my waterproof mascara without hurting my sensitive eyes. The only thing that might make me hesitate in buying it again is the price (with s&h it becomes outrageous!)

This is a gentle yet effective eye makeup remover. It is very similar to non-oily department store removers (ie. clinique in the blue bottle). I don't wear waterproof mascara, so I'm not sure if it would remove that.
