OMG...I am so sorry I've been silent this week. Diablo III + 2 Year Old with an ear infection = no bloggy. However, I will make time to squeeze in a review of a Wet 'n' Wild product I've been testing for the last few months.
Wet 'n' Wild Eye Make-Up Remover meets my #1 requirement for make-up removers. It's cheap! I'm sorry, but taking off makeup is just something I have a tough time spending coins on. That doesn't stop me from bitching up a storm when removers fail to ya know...remove?
Wet 'n' Wild put out an okay remover. I find it easily removes eye shadow and does a so-so job on eyeliner and mascara. If I have eyeliner in the base of my lashes or lower lashline, this remover does little to remove it. I use Clinique High Impact mascara and I feel it stays largely intact after using this product. According to the package, I should be whisking away stubborn mascara, not scrubbing till my lashes fall out.
One other thing was off putting. The remover has a strong smell, almost like astringent. In fact it smells so similar that I accidentally used my astringent to take off my eye make-up last week....I REALLY do not recommend it. On top of the smell, it also imparts a slightly minty tingle to the eyes. Not a sting or a burn ...did you ever swipe Noxema across your face and run through the house or sit in front of a fan? It's like that. It doesn't hurt, but I just don't particularly want my eyeballs to feel minty fresh.
Final Thoughts
If you want a cheap eye make-up remover and you aren't rockin the full Tammy Faye, this could work. It does an OK job. Kinda meh in my eyes.
Where to buy: Drugstores that sell Wet 'n Wild
Price: $1.99
I used this once and totally agree. It took so much effort to take my mascara off and the smell is really strong! Not a good one thats for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review, I've been really curious about this product... but it sounds like it would be a miss for me :( I've been using jojoba oil from Trader Joe's on my eye makeup followed by a cream makeup remover all over my face (to get the oil up with) and it's working out really well for me; I'll just stick to that for now!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great review, Crystal! It's good to know, cause I recently saw and considered buying this guy;-)))
