product review: L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Gentle Lip and Eye Makeup Remover For Waterproof Makeup

that was a mouthful haha anyhow, i'm one of those people who absolutely cannot go to bed unless all traces of makeup have disappeared. i cannot sleep even if a slight stain from mascara or eyeliner is still visible, no matter how sleepy or tired i am, even if it's at the wee hours in the morning, i simply must remove all of it( i know, im oc that way)anyway, i've been using baby oil for quite some time as my eye makeup remover, and it does work, and its really cheap too, but the things i dont like about it are: it gives you that blurry hazy vision after, it can clog pores, and i have to wash my face with baby shampoo to break down the oil before the facial wash, and even after that, there's still some oil left on my lids...basically it takes a lot of time to remove it. even if it doesnt really take that long, it feels like it is when youre cranky and sleepy ;/

i heard a lot of reviews about this, and finally decided to try it out, and the verdict? i dont think i'm going back to baby oil anytime soon

this formula separates into two parts when the bottle sits still for some time, a blue oil looking one at the top, and a clear liquid one at the bottom, youre supposed to shake it till they combine and then use a cotton pad to put it on your lids

i got mine from a drugstore called mercury drug, and it is a bit pricey 395 pesos or around $8 compared to baby oil which is priced about 30 pesos or less than a dollar, but it's cheaper than high end brands like lancome, shu and whatnot

pros:
- packaging lessens spillage especially when youre going around and putting it in your suitcase and stuff
- great for sensitive eyes
- removes make up really really fast, like unbelievably fast
- removes waterproof eyeliner and mascara like they weren't waterproof at all
- no tugging involved
- my lashes didn't fall off
- didn't sting my eyes
- didnt leave a greasy oily feeling meaning: a.) won't clog pores and b.) no more extra step of baby shampoo wash! yay!
- cheaper compared to high end branded products that work

cons:
- a bit pricey compared to local products
but other than that, it's great!

what it looks like before you shake it

what it looks like after

will i be buying it next time?
most probably yes, unless i find a cheaper and better one, but so far, it looks like this'll be at the top of my list ;)

pardon the photos i need an a.) a new camera and b.) a photographer
