Rimmel London Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Review

I got this with a free eye liner or mascara it is a nice alternative for those with sensitive eyes but it does not remove make up as fast as other removers it is reasonably priced for over 100mls it is not over drying and does not seem to leak on travel. For water - proof eye liner and mascara though it is not a fast quick removal and you may need multiple squirts of the product. Points for no heavy nasty smell too.

I bought this overseas about a year ago and I really enjoy it.

Firstly, it's a gentle eye makeup remover - meaning no stings even if you accidentally get it in your eye (and safe for contact lens wearers yay!). I bought it to remove stubborn eyeliner and mainly as an all round makeup remover.

It works for anything, including eyeliner (although I must add with eyeliner I usually take a clean cotton round and wipe over again as it can sometimes leave a panda effect) and lippy. I never use anything else to take lippy off as it's so gentle so it doesn't leave your lips overly dry or even bleeding like some can.

It does leave a weird-ish film layer on my skin, but I just splash some water over and dry it off with a towel and it's gone. I also don't mind because I wash my face anyways. I just use it to take all the makeup off before washing - as washing isn't enough mostly.

I've noticed that it's starting to form white stuff inside though, so it's probably time to chuck it out. I'm quite disappointed with that because I'm not planning an overseas trip again soon and I have no idea where I'll be able to get it (if I even can). But as far as that goes, if you're ever overseas and stumble across this - get me one and for yourself as well hehe!

I brought a bottle of this when I was overseas because they didn't have my favourite eye make up remover, the bottle lid is great because you can tip as much as you need without getting too much out.

When I am wearing a full face of makeup this remover does remove all my foundation and concealer but it has a hard time removing any eye makeup let alone mascara. Even if its just eyeliner it is very difficult, it feels as if its just moving the product around on your face but not taking it off. I go thru so many cotton pads, at least 8 cotton pads just removing average amount of eye makeup.

Since being back in New Zealand for 4 months, I have only used this remover when I have run out of options, that's when ive used up all my makeup remover wipes, I don't have coconut oil and I have nothing else left.

You go thru a lot of remover just to get a little bit of eye makeup off. It could just be me but it didn't work for me and I am one of the biggest Rimmel fans. I wont be purchasing this again in the future.
