I tried my hand (eye?) at Benefit’s new They’re Real waterproof eye makeup remover last night, saturating a cotton pad with the formula, which is kind of thick like a lotion, then wiping and rinsing.
It lifted away the waterproof They’re Real Push-Up Liner I was wearing without a hitch, but my eyes started watering when it touched my water lines.
Maybe my eyes are just sensitive to it. I might give it another try in a few days… The formula is supposed to be made for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes.
Until then, I think I’ll stick with MAC Cleanse-Off Oil for the heavy-duty stuff.
If you’re curious, look for They’re Real Remover at Benefit counters and online this July.
AT first look.. i though it might be a new highlighter from Benefit.. 😉 .. I liked the prettyy black packging for the remover…
I have faced similar issues of eye watering while using some eye liner on waterline.. I think its not made to be used on waterline.. 🙂

Ha! A sentence in swedish on your blog, I think that is the first I have seen (didn’t even know Benifit translated it to Swedish).
I think I am gonna stick with some cleansing oil (cheaper – especially since I mix my own – and it gets everything with out a hitch).

I have had bad experiences with removers which make my eyes water.. the whole eyeliner, eye shadow go down the drain! I was hoping this will be less irritating for the eyes! I love the Clarins eye makeup remover, its great stuff

I am still loyal to my beloved Bi-Facil, (and its Neutrogena dupe when times are leaner) 😛 Stinging or watering eyes with an eye makeup remover is kind of a bad sign, I think. Still! It might work for some!

Hmm doesn’t sound like it’s too gentle around the eyes…

Clinique ‘s comforting cream cleanser takes off all makeup, even waterproof mascara, without a drop of irritation. I rub it over each eye separately and then wipe off with a wet cotton ball. Then I rub it all over my face, wipe off with tissues, and then go over my face with a wet cotton ball, or wash cloth. Follow with toner on a cotton ball if you like, and whole face cleaned, with one product! At $19.50 a tube, each one lasts about a month, with daily use.
