CVS Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover: A Cheaper Alternative to Neutrogena

Hey, Recessionistas...
Sometimes drug-store brand products can be just as good and effective as the leading brand.

Take hold:



CVS's Oil-Free Makeup Remover
Price: $5.99 (CVS)

- Comparably cheaper than Neutrogena's Oil-Free Makeup Remover ($7.99) and Clinique's Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids Lashes & Lips ($17.50).
- Just as effective in washing off stubborn, waterproof makeup (ie: waterproof eyeliners and mascaras such as MAC Fluidline, Dior and Lancome waterproof mascaras).

*Note(s): - Shake the bottle for every use to mix the two ingredients together.
- I prefer using an extra-large cotton ball to wipe my eye makeup off.
- After wetting your cotton ball, hold cotton ball over your eye for five seconds before
wiping off. This will reduce stressing the skin out from excessive rubbing, thus aiding
in preventing wrinkles.

Best Eyeliner

MAC Fluidline 3 g./.01 oz
Price: $15.00 (MAC Cosmetics)

-The best gel eyeliner to date. I have used Stila smudge pots, but they quickly dried out on me. This small jar lasts for almost an eternity.
-Will last for hours without needing any touch-ups. Even ideal for oily eyelids. Smudge-proof. Waterproof.
-Must be applied with a brush. You can purchase the MAC #263, 266 or 210 brush depending on the size, shape, and control you are seeking.
-When applied with a brush, winged eyes are effortless to draw on.

I will update soon! I recently got an internship and job, so I have been super busy. Expect a post either by the end of the weekend or next week!
