eye make-up remover

18 years ago

I have very short thin skimpy lashes but I have not worn mascara for years other than formal occassions because I wore contacts & always found the mascaras to flake in my eyes & then eye make-up removers would leak residue onto my contacts. Well I had LASIK done several wks ago & I am now ready to go back to wearing mascara. I prefer waterproof mascara b/c those black shadows of the oozing mascara I find hideous. Anyway my problem is not so much finding the right mascara as it is finding a good & easy to use eye make-up remover. I still think I'd prefer one that's not too greasy. Any suggestions? Drug store brand preferred.

These are my favorites. The packaging I find is different. This must be new packaging.

I've been using Maybelline eye makeup remover. It's a little oily, but I wash my face afterwards and it does a good job getting the mascara off. I really like Mary Kay extremely gentle eye makeup remover a LOT better- not oily at all- but I lost my MK rep and need a new one, hence the Maybelline.

I vote for number one. I have no reason other than I want the tubers out of the ground and resting for a small amount of time.

Jasdip Not an eyewash in the sense that you would flush your eyes with it. I should have said eyelid scrub. The procedure is to dilute a few drops of Baby Shampoo with warm water and do a light scrub of the inner rim of the eye with a cotton swap or pad. I found it got rid of all make-up residue so I just wet my fingertips and use a few drops of baby shampoo for removing my make-up just as you would any water soluble eye makeup remover. The link explains it if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and read the self care procedure. You are correct about oils around the eye. The oils can plug up the area leading to inflamed itchy eyes. Here is a link that might be useful: Baby Shampoo for Eyes

I noticed also when you take a sport out from the main plant, you might not have the sport look the same the following year. I watched a sport for two years on a hosta 'Antioch', then cut it out. That sport had much wider margins. The following year it looked the same as the mother plant and still does in year 3. Ken, as mentioned above, when I don't like a sport I break it off. I leave the roots attached, but break off the shoot at the corm. And that sport does not grow back, i.e, when I had a yellow sport on a hosta 'Titanic'.

I've used a rubbing alcohol (2/3) and water (1/3) solution for spots on wool and nylon rugs and on clothing and handbags. Spray on and let it sit for a minute then rub a little and blot with white cloth or paper towel. As with any cleaner, you should probably test it on an inconspicuous spot first. I hope it works for you. The mixture has become my new favorite cleaner on many surfaces, but don't use it on painted or varnished surfaces!

I use a non greasy non irritating eye makeup remover by Marcelle, it's in a bright blue bottle, it goes on like water. It's quite similar to the LancÃ´me remover that is in a blue glass bottle except it's cheaper.

I use baby-oil at night. Then I wipe arouod my eyes with a damp, soft cloth. It is cheap and does not stay oily like you think it would. It feels good.

I like to use baby shampoo to remove eye makeup. I work it into lashes while in the shower and it easily removes even waterproof mascara. And without irritating my sensitive eyes the way makeup remover does.

I have used NIVEA original lotion for 20 years for eye makeup removal.Works great.If you try it make sure you get the original formula, the others are too greasy.
