Beauty within Budget: Make-up RemoverI'm not sure how many of you out there have applied eyeliner and/or mascara and then find that it gets really really hard (and painful) to remove the make-up on your face!
Even after you've taken a warm shower, cleansed your face, toned, and moisturised, and repeatedly dabbed balls of cotton with XXX brand make-up remover (I have one from Benefit, and it hardly works! ;[ ), you *still can't get the paint off your face.
What you're left with instead is just irritated and sore skin (did you know that the skin surrounding the eye is approximately 7 times more sensitive?) .
I came across this economical beauty tip a long time ago (can't even recall if I read it in a magazine or on a blog or watched it on tv ...) but decided to go out and get myself one today since my Ettusais and Mac eyeliners have recently seen the light of day after a long hiatus.
I got mine at 125ml, but I am definite that you can get it at 200ml as well. At just AUD$4.29 from Priceline, this baby works wonders! (I'm sure Singaporeans can find this at almost any pharmaceutical outlet/supermarket near you!)
I swear by it now, because it was *soo easy and fuss-free (although a little oily c/p to the actual make-up removers) to clear any trails of make-up, especially the eyeliner which can get extremely hard to clean off!
I got mine in Lavender (just cause I love the smell) but you could choose the original one if you prefer a more neutral scent.
So people, stop wasting your $$ on those deceivingly promising make-up removers and get yourself one of Johnson's Baby Oil today because what doesn't hurt a baby shouldn't harm us (certainly not our pockets) either!
