Lioele Aroma Waterproof Lip & Eye Remover Review
Besides the Triple The Solution BB Cream, I am really lovin’ Lioele’s Aroma Waterproof Lip & Eye Remover!
The Aroma Waterproof Lip & Eye Remover is a specialized point makeup remover for the lip and eye area. It is alcohol, paraben and preservative-free so it can be used even on the most sensitive skin.
Just like my favorite Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make-up Remover and Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover, it is a double-phase remover so you have to shake well before use. Ingredients include Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Morus Alba (White Mulberry) Root Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract for condition skin and minimize inflammation.

L’oreal Clean Artiste Makeup Corrector Pen Review
If you do not own L’oreal’s Clean Artiste Makeup Corrector Pen, you have to go get yourself one! This baby is infused with makeup removing ingredients so you can easily clean up mistakes and smudges on the go without interfering with the rest of your makeup.
The pen comes with a felt-tip applicator that is great for precise application. I use it to clean up mascara smudges and to get the perfect lip line when I wear dark lipsticks. Plus the formula never stings my eyes or irritates my skin. It also dries really fast without leaving a greasy feeling behind. Definitely a great product for pros and beginners.
The Clean Artiste Makeup Corrector Pen is now available at all drugstores for $10.95.
Shiseido Maquillage Mascara Combing Remover
I have always loved Asian beauty gadgets and in its latest summer 2008 collection, Shiseido’s Maquillage brought us the Mascara Combing Remover, a mascara-removing device that works even on waterproof mascara while conditioning your lashes.
Unlike traditional mascara removers that work like a mascara, the Mascara Combing Remover comes in a twist pen design with a comb on the top. This means no more pushing the wand in and out of the tube and having residue go back into the tube after you have removed the mascara plus you can actually clean the comb and wipe off mascara bits with a tissue – how hygienic!
To use the device, simply twist the back of the pen a few times and wait for the remover to get dispensed onto the comb. Next, comb your lashes as if you are applying mascara. Wait a minute or two for the product to dissolve your mascara and wipe off with a cotton pad. No rinsing is necessary.
I have had a couple of mascara removers that came with a wand but sadly, they all failed miserably. I am definitely going to pick this one up and report back. If you have this, let us know how you are liking it!

How To: Remove Makeup Properly
Taking it all off is probably one of the most tedious yet unavoidable chores for all you makeup addicts out there. Today I will cover briefly how you can take everything off without spending hours and hours in the bathroom.
Face Makeup
The best way to take off all facial makeup is to use a cleansing oil followed by a foam/gentle cleanser. My newest faves are Kose Softymo Super-cleansing Oil followed by Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser.
Eye Makeup
To remove eye makeup effortlessly, pick a duo-phase eye makeup remover like Lancome Bi-facil or Ponds Bare and Repair. Simply soak a cotton pad with the remover and press against your eyelid for 10-15 seconds. Next, dip a Q-tip soaked with remover, close your eyes and gently go back and forth on your lashes to remove any remaining mascara. Whatever you do, remember to use *extra* care since the skin around your eyes is only 0.5mm thick.
Lip Makeup
The best way to remove lip makeup is to use a remover made specifically for it (try the one by Kanebo). If you can’t find it, simply use cleansing oil or Ponds Cold Cream.
