I was given the opportunity to trial this product, thank-you beauty review. I have never specifically purchased or used a dual make-up remover that is just designed for around the eye area. My normal routine varies between my cleanser or a make-up remover balm.
Most days I usually only wear mascara but for the purpose of this trial I wore two different kinds of mascara (waterproof) and regular and also wore eyeshadow.
I would describe my skin is rather fair and sensitive and prone to redness, so it was nice that this eye make-up remover has no artificial perfumes or colours to agitated my skin.
The remover itself comes in a very handy 125ml clear plastic bottle with a green flip top lid. It is called a duaI effect eye make-up remover and I noticed two separate layers, the bottom layer being the oil and the top layer being the purified water. I immediately shook the content to see what would happened (lots of small bubbles). I couldn't detect a scent.
I applied the remover as per the instructions on the bottle. I shook the contents and applied onto a cotton pad (1 pad for each eye). The first time I did this, I soaked the whole cotton pad as I was unsure how much would be needed to remove my eye make-up. After trialing for a few nights I discovered soaking half the wipe worked well for regular mascara and using the slightly drier end to remove any traces before dubbing again. For heavier make-up (waterproof mascara and eyeshadow) I needed a whole wipe of solution and a bit more dubbing. I found the whole process very simple to do and only took 30seconds (approximately) for each eye.
I am really impressed at how effective this is at removing my eye make-up with just a dubbing motion. It removed all traces without causing panda eyes and the best part was there was no stinging or redness around my eyes. My eye lids felt very soft and no eyelashes were ripped out in the process.
So to conclude I think the simple dual effect eye make-up remover is super affordable at $11.99 and worked well to remove heavy eye make-up. I will be changing my normal routine and using this eye make-up remover well into the future.
When I was given the chance to trial this, I jumped at the chance. I have quite sensitive skin on my eyes and love wearing eye makeup, I often find it hard to find a good makeup remover that doesn't irritate but is also effective, especially at a reasonable price. I've used Simple products before and have always found them great value for money and they've never caused me any irritation, and again this product ticked all the boxes for me.
One thing that initially caused me a bit of confusion is that its a dual-phase makeup remover (so shake it up before using) but is ONLY FOR EYES, and not for lips! I've used dual-phase removers in the past but they've always been both for eyes and lips, so I very nearly made a bad mistake with this one!
I put this to the test several times with very heavy eye makeup, intentionally using some of my most heavy-duty products to really see if it would work. I can be lazy when it comes to removing makeup and like to get the job done in two quick swipes, I don't want to have to stand there rubbing my eyes raw, so I was pleased that every time I used the Simple remover, it quickly and effectively removed all traces of makeup, no scrubbing required and no panda eyes left!
I was impressed with the makeup remover, and would definitely consider buying in future, especially since it is such a good price. Most importantly, my eyes felt fine afterwards, no itching, no stinging and no dryness or redness on my skin. Thanks BR for the chance to be on a trial team!
Tips: Shake before use, use on eyes only, and READ the instructions!
