Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser

As a daily user of waterproof mascara, your average eye makeup remover doesn't cut it for me. I've been using a nice oil-based remover made for waterproof for years that at times, leaves some oily black leftovers under my eyes. Not the case with Talika. This stuff is a pretty great alternative that leaves ZERO leftovers. One pump does a whole eye and there's no need for a tissue to clean up the residue after. And because it's a gel, I don't need a ton so it'll last forever.

Klorane Eye MakeUp remover

Klorane makes a great, hard-working-yet-gentle eye makeup remover.

It didn't burn my eyes, but it got off all the goo I could pile on*-- I like to really test these things!

Some Klorane products are available through stateside vendors, but it has been hard to find... Now this wonderful (tres French) remover is available at Walgreens!

Go to your neighborhood Walgreens & buy. Thank me later.

*Goo= Waterproof mascara, eye shadows, pencil liner.
