First, the good - Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
I loooooove this stuff. I hate oily eye makeup remover, and this is like using water. It takes more than one application to remove my eye makeup, but it really gets everything off - no little bits of mascara left under your eyes giving you the raccoon look!It's also great for fixing mistakes when you're putting your makeup on - a little bit on a cotton swab will do a great job of getting of that smudge of eyeliner that went the wrong way, or the mascara or loose eye shadow that ends up under your eyes.
This is going to be my new regular eye makeup remover.
Also, I wish it came in a SMALLER size bottle as well - 4.2 oz is too big to go in my carry on bag when I travel!
Now, the bad - Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
I wanted to like this stuff, I really did! However, after trying it, it really did not work well at all.
I tested it against my current eye pencil - The Rimmel Eyeliner is on the top.
LEFT: basic application. The Rimmel eyeliner is darker, but didn't apply as smoothly and didn't fill in all the creases like my current pencil.
RIGHT: After a drop of water and a smudge of my thumb - The Rimmel promise of waterproof and smudgeproof eyeliner stands up!
But there were more problems - when applying the eyeliner to my hand (and later, my eyes), big chunks balled up on the tip of the pencil and fell off. Not good!
When I tried to apply the eyeliner to my actual eye, it did not glide smoothly and instead tugged and skipped over my skin. After three tries, this is what I had on my eye:
I could have kept trying, but who has that much time to apply eyeliner?!? Not me.
I won't be using this product again - I'll stick with my current $1 eyeliner from the brand I've been using since high school - it may not be waterproof but it's easier to apply!
