This past month I ran out of my favorite eye makeup remover and when I went to the store it was completely sold out. Disheartened, I picked up a bottle of Almay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Liquid to try. I chose it because in the past Almay products were gentle on my skin and as a bonus I noticed a "#1" sticker on the bottle. I thought, "#1 this must be an awesome product right?" Wrong. This product stung my eyes so badly I almost double checked to see if I had accidentally poured acetone on my cotton pad instead of the remover, but I think that would have at least removed my makeup. Not only was this product painful, but it didn't work as promised. Even after multiple, painful applications I was still left looking like a raccoon. Ok, done with the rant.
On a much happier note, after the traumatic Almay experience I received my Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover in the mail. I could not have been more excited to have my old favorite back in my medicine cabinet. This product lives up to its "fresh-as-water" description. It is incredibly gentle and easily removes every speck of makeup. The only down side is that it is only available at Target stores or online and my local Target seems to slack on stocking it. Aside from that minor inconvenience this is hands down the best eye makeup remover I have ever tried.
