Review: Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover

Hey there Beauts,

I feel like I've been slacking on the blogging front so much recently, and I've been sitting here thinking...
'What the hell should I blog about...?!?!'

So Instead of buying a bunch of spangly new products (coz lets face it...I have no money!) and Instead of trying to conjure up a new found love for something which in fact I actually hate I've just simply gone around and picked up a few things that I've been using for a while now and written some notes on them...

what they're like/pro's/con's/my thoughts/price and the rest is up to you...I figured It'd be up to you all to see whether or not you thought the product would suit your skin and whether you should give it a try and it would give me something to blog about :D win win situation!

So first up is the Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover with Iceland Moss.
I've had this product for a while and have just come close to finishing it (Thank the heavens!!) Thats not to say it's a bad product, it just leaves a very oily film on the face which I then feel the need to wash off asap!

It's formulated for delicate, sensitive skin in mind although it says all skin types on the bottle and claims to remove even waterproof mascara which I totally agree with.  Soaked on a cotton pad it just glides on the skin and removes everything that it comes in contact with but your skin is left slippery and very oily which is good for those with dry skin like mine but I like to have a clean face which is oil and goo free before bed.

Value for money-wise you get 150ml for £3.99 which I think is pretty good and a little goes a fairly long way depending on caked on your makeup is.

My thoughts would be...It's good, if you have sensitive dry skin and dont mind using an oily product on your face, it's also good if you wear a lot of heavy eye makeup and waterproof mascara and want a simple non-irritant way of removing it.  It's also very affordable and very accesible if you're in the UK.  If however you have oily skin and hate even the word oil being mentioned stay well clear of this!

Thanks for sticking by Es-Jay Makeup guys! It's been a hard couple of months and the struggle isn't over but I'm getting there and there are some lovely followers on here and on twitter that are making my days so much better with their lovely messages and comments so thank you!
You all don't know how much it means to me!

Until Next Time Lovelies

Ciao for now

    I cant stand oily eye make up removers, they irritate my eyes so much and leave me so blurry. I find even removers that claim they dont leave a film over the skin still do it.

    I would love one that just feels exactly like water.

    I think you'll find Micellaire waters better suited to you then my lovely, but yes sadly that's the biggest downside to this makeup remover because it does actually do a really good job, I just can't stand the slippery oily feeling it leaves *shudders* lol
    How're you my lovely?

      I hate Micellars too lol done a blog post about them a few weeks back, they leave a residue on your skin and almost all make my skin feel tacky and I never feel clean after using them. They dont emove mascara as easily as they say either. I could rant about them all day! lol

      I'm alrighty thanks :) hope you're well.

    I love this stuff! I've tried a ton of different eye makeup removers and this is the best one I've tried yet :) I usually just like to wipe over my eyes with a clean, dry cotton pad to soak up the excess oil. x
