This review almost didn't happen. I bought Hard Candy Take It Off as an afterthought. I photographed it to get back some counter space. I was swatching some teal gel liner and it was not coming off. I was sitting there thinking, well shit, guess I cant swatch anymore today and trust me, I was on a roll. I have a few removers and honestly, they all kinda suck. I remembered Hard Candy Take It Off and figured, what the hell....
And this is how a product review goes from the bottom of your list directly to the top. Up front I want to tell you this remover blew my mind. I squeezed a tiny blob onto my finger, rubbed it on the stain...gone. I felt like freaking Billy Mays.
The remover is a cream, non greasy, but pleasingly moisturizing. You do not have to rinse it off after you use it. I just wiped the area clean with a cotton ball and it left my skin feeling soft, not greasy. I tested this out on a few products. Here are some before and afters.

Final Thoughts
This is my new makeup remover and I am very excited to have found it. I will need to play around with a few more products, namely some of my more stubborn mascaras, but this stuff handled everything I threw at it. I love the cream medium. It's gentle and breaks down the makeup without drying out your skin or giving you that "I just cleaned my face with rubbing alcohol" feeling. Having a good remover is just as important as having good makeup. Go check this stuff out!
Where to buy: Walmart
Price: $6.00
So happy to see this, I'm in the market for a new remover!
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks awesome! I seriously need to pick up some makeup remover (my old remover's cap got yucky from sitting in the shower for too long)... Scrubbing at my face with soap and a towel isn't cutting it! I will have to try to pick this up the next time I'm near a Walmart!
ReplyDeleteI am loving it! I was wearing a smokey eye yesterday and used this, one dab on a cotton ball, two gentle passes, gone. Only a tiny bit of mascara near the roots. I usually wake up with raccoon eyes in the am because of residual makeup....nope. Totally fine this AM. Seriously buy this stuff.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah, you can! ;) I'm definitely going to pick this up the next time I see it. Thank you for the review! I'm always looking for a great makeup remover.
