How I Like It:
This would be my first oil-cleansing makeup removal. I would say that this is an 'ok' product...it removes makeup completely and has a real nice aroma with it. If you're looking for a cheaper version of Shu Uemura, this would definitely be the one!! ...just one thing...for the last I remember, I've thrown away half a bottle of this cleasing oil...because after some heat (I think...cause one day I just brought it out to fulfill my duty as an makeup artist, and after that...), the color changes from purple to green...and I wonder why...What I guess was some ingredients in it may have been 'allergic' to heat or something like that...So...use it at your own risk, girls...!!

How I Like It:
Here comes my favorite brand for now...Clarins!! Yea, I don't fall in love with a product or brand just for the sake of it's famous-ity or just for the sake of falling in love with them. So, let me tell you what's so great about this makeup removal. Firstly, it's seriously convenient to remove makeups without the need of getting near to the toilet nor the sink! Just use a cotton piece, dap this makeup removal on it, and wipe trough your face...and there you go, makeup cleaned, dirt cleaned (there's no need to wash your face again with water)!! Secondly, it's water base, so, basically I don't have to worry about pore-clogging problem as I did with the previous one (Shu Uemura's). Thirdly, the smell...so fresh and fruity...while clearing of your makeups, it seems to clear of your stress and tiredness of the day too...!!! If to say this product ever has it's fall-short, it'll only be it's not for heavy makeups, so people, if you're going for heavy and waterproof makeups, this will not suit your demands. This product does really work for me, and I'm glad that I've found it!!!

I really can't go to another brand for any eye makeup remover anymore after using this...

How I Like It:
This, would be what we call a lucky-shot product. This eye makeup remover doesn't really do a good job by removing mascaras (waterproof or non-waterproof). But I still like it, cause nowadays I just didn't seemed to bother to put on my mascara. And although it didn't work well with mascaras, it still does do good by removing makeups around the eye area...I mean real light makeup like powder or foundations. I can't promise whether it'll work well with eyeshadows or eyeliners (cause I don't use them). Overall, it's just being a lucky-shot product after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Cyber Colors Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
Gentle eye makeup remover combines effective makeup removal with kindness to the sensitive eye area.

Price: RM21.60

How I Like It:
Really can't get much information about this through the net... :(
But anyway, this makeup remover doesn't really work well for me...makeups are not removed effectively/cleanly, and you'll sure spend more time removing it (if compare to L'oreal's).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simple Conditioning Eye Make-Up Remover is 100% oil free and formulated to provide the special care that delicate skin around the eyes need when removing even waterproof mascara.

How I Like It:
I'm not trying to be rude here...just that this so called eye makeup remover just seems to be...useless...!!! I've just tried it twice removing my makeup and guess what? I gave up the whole bottle immediately!!! Well, maybe it does have some comforting effects on the eye, but please, what's a makeup remover that doesn't remove makeups...?

Price: RM13.80

How I Like It:
This would be And yea, one of the most convenient products...as simple as use and throw!! It does removes makeups effectively, but not as effective as the right below (Mavala's) one. Overall, it's an 'ok' product. It's easy to keep/bring around, product may always be kept hygienic, and therefore, great for travelling purpose...!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Mavala Eye-Lite Eye Makeup Remover Pads
Effectively removes all make-up without irritating the skin. Good for regular or waterproof make-up. These cotton pads are saturated with eye make-up remover lotion. Fragrance free. Contains 75 pads. Convenient for travel and for makeup kits.

Ingredients:
- Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum)
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Propylparaben

Price: RM22.95

How I Like It:
This is a very similar product as the above (Novartis), yet works more effectively than the above...probably it's because the pads are more oily. It's packaging makes it quite a convenient thing to bring around, just that make sure your hands are clean before touching it, you'll never want dirt to fall on the others.
Everything is in one container without saperated packets like the above, so it's a hit it or not thing. Just be careful and things would be fine...
