Removing Make Up Like a Pro

One day, I went home from a wedding gig (or somewhere else that required me to wear make up), and after washing my face, I look into the mirror and QUE HORROR!

I look like a raccoon with all the residue from my mascara. *Don't you hate it when waterproof mascara is stubborn like that?* I mean I rarely wear make up but the mascara is my favorite. There's something about well made up eyes that I find sexy. Why does it have to take forever to remove it?

A couple of days ago, I raised a question on Facebook asking for make up remover suggestions. I found one in Nature Republic but it's just darn expensive for me. *Insert kuripot nanay mode here* I relied on the good 'ol baby oil before but I'm not really a fan of oily skin, and it irritates my eyes.

Because Nica and I had to walk our assess to Ayala MRT Station, we stopped by SM Makati for awhile. After buying Javier essentials, we made a quick pit stop in the beauty section. Somebody suggested Ever Bilena's makeup remover but unfortunately, there's none in the department store. So I searched again, determined to go home with a bottle. Just like this:


Maybelline Make Up Remover


Yay me! So it says here on the bottle:

Efficient & Easy: This formula instantly removes all eye and lip makeup, even waterproof and non transfer.

Gentle: Formulated for sensitive eyes it is especially very gentle for the delicate skin around the eyes.

Yep. It says eye and lip but the saleslady told me it can be used for the whole face. Then wash the face and apply moisturizer. Cool!

Tried it out last night and it was so easy to remove the mascara and eyeshadow. Woot! Best part of it: this baby just costs Php119. :)
