Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips Review

I love love love this! I wear hard contact lenses, and typically when I use anything around my eyes I have to take out my lenses, or suffer the consequences. The Lids, Lashes & Lips was gentle enough that I can have my lenses in and gently remove my eye make-up!

It doesn't have a scent at all that I can smell, which is also a bonus when I'm doing my eye area. Previous makeup removers have had an alcohol smell, which is unpleasant.

It's very good at removing mascara and waterproof eye liner. A couple of gentle swipes with a cotton pad and poof! My eye are clean!

I love how moisturising it is, I use this in combination with my 'All About Eyes' and I can totally see an improvement in my lashes and general eye area. I'm a massive fan of this product :)

Clinique has a great range, and this is one of my favourites, this is a small plastic bottle, with a screw lid that is very easy to manage, using a couple of cotton wool swabs gentle dab some on to remove your makeup, this has little to no scent with a light purple colour liquid inside. On your skin it feels cool, and you feel like it will leave residues but this is quickly squashed as you soon realise it does not, it was effortless removal of my eye makeup but did require some rubbing to remove my lipstick which is long wear, overall very happy it removed my eye makeup so no panda eyes in the morning :)

Love love this product!! In the past I've had problems with eye make up removers irritating my skin or burning my eyes and this does neither! More of an oil rather than a cream, so only need a tiny amount (and lasts for ages as long as you don't spill the bottle :P ) Can leave my skin with a greasy feel which I normally hate, but I use this at night so don't mind as much. Also has next to no fragrance/taste so very appropriate for eyes and lips!

Clinique always gives these in gift with purchases, so even though I've never bought a full sized, I've used probably 3 mini bottles already. The bottles are great for reusing too if you want to decant a toner or makeup remover for on the go.

To use it, I shake to mix the liquid well and pour a bit out onto some makeup pads. I hold them over my eyes for a while then swipe off and it takes off so much makeup in just one swipe. It's quite relaxing and very gentle on my skin. It also works for general foundation and other makeup, but I find it does leave a bit of an oily feeling on my skin. Not a huge problem since I usualyl wash my face with cleanser right afterwards anyway.

I've found bi-phase makeup removers great for stubborn waterproof makeup, and this is a perfect example. Will take off your whole face at the end of a day with just a gentle wipe.

I wouldn't personally go out and buy a full sized bottle since I usually just get these for free with other purchases, but would definitely recommend this.

This is the first and only makeup remover I've found that doesn't irritate my eyes. Yes, it is a bit pricey but for the non-iterated eyes it's so worth it. Takes my makeup off in one sweep ready for cleansing. Definitely does what it says it does. I used to use Elizabeth Arden all gone makeup remover however I've found this Clinique remover to be less oily? Definitely prefer the consistency of this product.

I got a bottle of this as a gift with purchase a while ago now and I have to say its possibly the best lip/eye makeup remover I've ever tried - that's a big call to make!

I use this in conjunction with Clinique's Take the Day off balm and in my opinion its the perfect combination! I love the simple but pretty purple and silver packaging, it does the job and looks nice.

This remover doesn't have any detectable fragrance like most Clinique skincare products, which I love, especially in eye/lip products! I feel that heavily scented products aren't very good for my face, let alone sensitive areas like eyes and lips.

You only need to use a small amount of this stuff on a cotton round and its super efficient! I find mascara and eyeliner come off without having to scrub at my eyes which is great. I like to hold the wet pad to my eye for a few moments to let the product work, then sweep it off.

As others have mentioned, it does tend to leave an oily film but for an oil type remover I'd be surprised if it didn't! Also, this doesn't bother me in the slightest as I always wash my face after removing makeup anyway.

It is fairly pricey but if you have trouble removing eyelash glue, waterproof eyelashes, eyeliner or have sensitive eyes then I recommend this product!! It does everything it claims, which is amazing!

This is one of the best, most useful beauty products I own. Using this I can remove all of my eye make up in minutes, and it couldn't be easier. It is scentless, and is soft on the eyes. I use a benefit mascara, which is otherwise almost impossible to get off, but using this its hard to believe how easy it is to fully take off.

I also use this to fully remove lip colour, and it does this so well. Other removers I have used leave a lingering colour, which is a major pain especially if you are wanting to put a new colour on top.

So effective, and only need the smallest amount to do the job, so one bottle lasts for so long

Truly amazing.

This is an oil based makeup remover, with which you have to shake prior to use. I find that this type of remover requires a little more product as the cotton pad tends to soak the bulk of the liquid.

This does a great job of removing waterproof mascara and eyeshadow. I had no problems with stinging eyes or sensitivity around the eye are like I do with other removers. I do find that this oil based type of product can leave a filmy residue on your eyes- this remover left less of a film than other supermarket brands Ive tried.

While I find this gentle and effective I have come to prefer using micellar water as an eye makeup remover so would probably not repurchase. In addition I do think that supermarket branded removers do as good a job at removing makeup at a cheaper price, although I do think this is gentler than most and less inclined to leave behind a oily film which may make the extra spend more worthwhile.

I have really sensitive eyes so it's really important for me to get ALL my makeup off before I go to bed and this totally does that. I find it infinitely more effective than makeup removal wipes and also much much gentler. You don't need much product at all either, so though it is a bit pricey, it's worth every cent IMHO. My only wee issue with it is the oily film it leaves on my face, but I cleanse after using it so not a major concern. I love the packaging and especially the child proof cap which is great when you have a 2 year old who wants to be just like mummy!

I've used Lancome Bi-Facil for years and there was nothing wrong with it so I just stuck with it. But one day I decided to give this Clinique one a go because Clinique had a GWP promotion going on (and I'm a sucker for GWP's!). This is also a bi-layer remover so you need to give the bottle a bit of a swirl. I just wet a cotton pad, hold it over my eyelid for about 30 seconds, and my eyeliner and mascara comes right off! I do have to work a bit to get to the liner between the lashes but that's understandable. No need to rub and tug at the eyelid. Of course it leaves an oily film on your skin afterwards but one should wash their face after makeup removal anyway.
