Your best cheap eye make removers plase

Have decided that Miceller water makes the skin sting. It's fine for the rest of my face.
In the past used L'Oreal which was ok but not very 'strong'. Don't really want to spend £15-£20 on high end stuff.

I always go back to Simple kind to eyes make up remover. It's cheap as chips.

IMHO it's better than the la roche and nivea ones I have tried recently. I have quite sensitive eyes.

Klorane cornflower water... have used it for years, and it's very hard to beat being both gentle and effective, as well as cheap.

AngelicaSchuylerChurch · 26/04/2017 10:52

YY Simple.

bananafish81 · 26/04/2017 10:57

YY to Simple

Brilliant spot stain remover too

Was advised to have some on standby on my wedding day in case of any spillages. Didnt have to use it, but am told it's pretty handy

Yep, Simple, the clear one like water, I rub a cream cleanser over over my face inc my eyes and lashes, remove with cotton wool then use the Simple for the eye make that remains. Love it and my skin is always soft and clean.

Ollivander84 · 26/04/2017 20:44

Boots simply sensitive. It's about 99p and a lotion type

Daydream007 · 26/04/2017 21:17

Coconut oil.

FootstepsMerlot · 26/04/2017 21:18

Vaseline or coconut oil

PurpleDaisies · 26/04/2017 21:19

Simple for me too. I think micellar water is really overrated.

VilootShesCute · 26/04/2017 21:21

Loreal micellar water. Amazing. Doesn't sting and can do whole face with it as takes make up off too. Couldn't live without mine.

jenniuol · 26/04/2017 21:40

Definitely simple. All I would use now.

Botanicbaby · 26/04/2017 21:48

baby oil + double sided cotton wool pads are perfect for removing all eye makeup.

StrawberryJelly00 · 26/04/2017 21:51

Sensitive baby wipes

Justmuddlingalong · 26/04/2017 21:51

Simple facial cleansing oil is fantastic. It removes all your make up, including waterproof mascara. You only need a wee drop as well so the bottle lasts for ages.

Howaboutthisone · 26/04/2017 21:54

No7 eye make up remover is amazing! I've been using it for years on my very waterproof, shower doesn't budge it at all mascara. And my eyelashes don't feel damaged at all- it's lovely.

BearFoxBear · 26/04/2017 21:54

Coconut oil or garnier micellar water.

Sciurus83 · 26/04/2017 21:55

Body shop camomile

PastysPrincess · 26/04/2017 23:14

Vaseline or coconut oil.

Cleebope · 26/04/2017 23:16

I use baby lotion to remove all makeup with cotton wool and water.

WellTidy · 26/04/2017 23:20

Which micellar water have you been using, op? I use L'Oréal micellar water with the pink cap and I don't find that it stings. I use it generously as it is often on offer in boots.

QueSera · 26/04/2017 23:25

Superdrug own brand - ive tried many others, and way more expensive, but this is the best ive ever used. Takes off waterproof mascara like a dream

Rantymare · 26/04/2017 23:37

Vegetable oil. Removes all traces. Then a quick wipe with cotton wool soaked in water to get rid of the grease. No sting and gentle on the eyes (and dirt cheap ).

PinkFluffiUnicorn · 26/04/2017 23:40

My eyes get stingy with most cleaning stuff for your face, but Nivea 3 in 1, sensitive skin, miceller water, works well and doesn't sting, sometimes I need to soak water proof mascara if I've put loads on

WillyWonkasChocolate · 26/04/2017 23:50

Body shop or the Garnier Micellar that had the yellow oil in it
