Makeup Wars: Favorite Eye Makeup Remover

 Affiliate Link Press Sample 

Hey readers! It is time for another Makeup Wars! Woot woot! :) I just had to jump into this Makeup Wars, in particular, because I have a *clear* stand-out favorite in this category. Sometimes I am on the fence with my favorites or Makeup Wars choices. Well, not this time! I have a product to share with ya'll today that I am seriously flippin obcessed with...lets jump right in to find out more below!

Makeup Wars: Favorite Eye Makeup Remover with Bioderma

My Favorite Eye Makeup Remover:
BIODERMA - SENSIBIO H2O MICELLE SOLUTION (FOR SENSITIVE SKIN). I absolutely adore this BIODERMA Micellar Water! It feels like nothing going on yet it magically dissolves all of my eye makeup without stinging nor irritating (Unlike other eye makeup removers that either sting my eyes or skin or leave me feeling greasy). Seriously, this stuff is magic!

I will admit, BIODERMA was the very first Micellar Water that I ever used. So, I am more than a bit biased about my love for it. Since discovering the joys of using Micellar Water as an eye makeup remover, I have not turned back! Nope! Yes, I have tried quite a few other kinds...and yes, they are good. However, I always come back full circle to BIODERMA.

How does it work?
An efficacious micellar cleanser with a soap-free, physiological pH formula Helps gently cleanse & remove face & eye makeup, including water-resistant ones. Contains micelles that effectively micro-emulsify impurities while preserving balance of skin. Blended with soothing & decongesting active ingredients to prevent feelings of irritation. Ensures excellent cutaneous & ocular tolerance Leaves skin pure, clear & comfortable Perfect for sensitive, normal to dry skin.

Where to Buy?
BIODERMA Micellar Water can be hard to find here in the USA! I got mine current bottle of BIODERMA from Jewlzie (as a press sample). Jewlzie is a beauty shopping website with more than 600 brands available. You can find skincare, fragrance, makeup, products for Him, haircare, and yes...even BIODERMA! Plus, they offer free shipping! Be sure to check them out! :)

My Skin Loves: Avene's NEW Micellar Lotion Cleanser & Makeup Remover!

Affiliate Link Press Sample

It is time for an update in my "My Skin Loves" series! As many of you know, I am a skincare fanatic! Actually, discovering great skincare is one of the main reasons that I started this blog. With my sensitive and somewhat temperamental skin, I am determined to find the best possible combination of skincare items to keep my skin looking its best. 

My latest new love and discovery? Avene's NEW Micellar Lotion Cleanser & Makeup Remover. Yes, I adore it!!!

I jumped on the Micellar Water bandwagon when Bioderma got popular in the USA amongst beauty-lovers and beauty bloggers. After having such a hard time actually finding Bioderma, I switched gears to finding other Micellar waters that are much more readily available in the USA. So, you know that I was thrilled when I found out that one of my favorite skincare lines, Avene, came out with a Micellar water option! 

Avene's Micellar Lotion Cleanser & Makeup Remover:  

So, what is a Micellar Water anyway? Basically, it is a fabulous all-purpose product: a cleanser, makeup remover, and toner all in one...plus, it is a no rinse formula. So, it couldn't be easier to use: just dampen a cotton round with Micellar water and wipe across skin cleansing, toning, and removing makeup in one step. Does this sound like the unicorn product of skincare? lol, yes!!!  It is based on a micelle principle that protects and releases cleansing agents and softening actives upon contact with skin. Cool, right?!?!

This is the second time that I have tested out a variety of products from this amazing Polish line. The first time was about a year ago. If you missed that post, be sure to check it out here. Many of those products are still in my skincare rotation!

NEW for Spring 2014 from Prestige: Total Intensity

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

New for Spring 2014: The "Total Intensity" line from Prestige Cosmetics:

Have you seen the new Total Intensity items from Prestige??? 

Prestige has expanded its "Total Intensity" line for Spring 2014! The line has expanded from duo-chrome shadows, eyeliners, and mascara to now include these new pressed eye shadows, eyeshadow crayons, lipstick crayons, and even a makeup remover.  

If you are not familiar with the Total Intensity line, it is named for its intensely pigmented and long-wearing color. If you are all about products with very saturated pigments, you are going to need to scope out this line! The colors are rich and bold and yes...sooooo pigmented! Seriously, phenomenal quality not only for a drugstore line, but for makeup across the board!

Total Intensity by Prestige: New for Spring 2014:

• Total Wear Eyeshadow Sticks: (retail for $9.50 each): remarkably lightweight, longwearing, sweat-proof, crease-proof and can also be used as eyeliner. As you would expect from this line, these Eyeshadow Sticks are very pigmented. Just a few swipes gives you full color. I tried the shades: Jungle War (metallic forest green), Desert Delusion (copper), and Meteorite (steel grey). These all have a shimmery metallic finish and are incredibly long wearing. I did not experience creasing when worn with a primer (note: I typically do not have trouble with eye products creasing). These are great worn either as a shadow or a liner.
  

• Total Wear Lipstick Crayons: (retail for $9.50 each): a modern interpretation of a classic lipstick. In a single stroke, they pamper lips and deliver full coverage and ultra-luminous finish that won’t run or feather. I tried the shade "Wine Not?" which is a gorgeous deep true red with a metallic finish.

• Total Intensity Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover: (retails for $7.95): enriched with green tea leaf extract to render anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits. If you are wearing intense long-wearing makeup, like this Total Intensity line, you are going to need a good makeup remover! This one works great and is gentle on my eyes. This remover is a clear oily liquid with a very soft and pleasant scent. I use it by either saturating a q-tip or dabbing some on a cotton round (depending on how much makeup I'm wearing) and wiping it over my eye makeup.

• True Metal Eyeshadows: (retail for $9.75 each):
  five highly pigmented creamy shadows made with naturally occurring metallic pigments that deliver a dramatic reflective finish. The additional five eyeshadows, Color Rush, use a breakthrough color-matrix technology that entraps pigments and provides a controlled and even release during application. The more a shadow is rubbed, the more pigment is released resulting in more color coverage. These eye shadows are extremely impressive! They are certainly high-end quality at a drugstore price. They pack a gorgeous and rich intensely pigmented metallic finish. I tried four shades: Makeup Your Mind (metallic olive), Bronze (metallic bronze), Out of the Blue (metallic medium blue), and Sterling (metallic silver). These really are so gorgeous! Now, ya'll know I am a neutrals girl. So, I am getting the most wear out of the silver and the bronze. If you love to experiment with vivid metallic colors, then you must scope out these shadows. Plus, I love the cool 3-d imprints they do on the shadows, too! Very cool!

The Skinny:

Prestige Cosmetics are available at prestigecosmetics.com and at Ulta.

Here is the Core Prestige Total Intensity Line:

What items from this line do you have your eye on? If you love pigment, then you must try out the True Metal Eyeshadows! Me? I would love to try out those Eyeshadow trios! They look beautiful!

Take It Off! Hard Candy's Super Gentle Makeup Remover

Just like the name states, this product allows you to Take It (all) Off!

Hard Candy's "Take It Off" cream makeup remover works incredibly well. There is not one single makeup item that it does not remove! Waterproof mascara, liquid liner, you name it and this product removes it! 

This is honestly the first time that I have ever tried a cream makeup remover! Usually I use a bi-phase remover like Neutrogena's Oil Free Makeup Remover.  It was strange for me to use a cream based product at first. However, I was blown away with how effective it is!

How I use:
I just apply a dab of this cream makeup remover to a cotton round and gently swipe over my eye makeup. It easily removes everything! I use one cotton pad per eye. After removal, I proceed with washing my face and my evening skincare routine.

I love that Take It Off is no-greasy! You get absolutely no greasy residue with this product. Plus, I find Take It Off to be incredibly gentle. It removes everything without you feeling like you have to "rub" your eye area.

This makeup remover is effective and inexpensive. You gotta love that!

Hard Candy's "Take it Off" is available at Walmart for $5.00 for a 2.7 oz tube.

Thanks so much for reading!
XOXO!!!
