Bought a new mascara and it seems great, but can't get it off with my normal eye make up remover (Nivea)
I'll have to buy one tomorrow - but what's good? not too pricey. Thanks

I've tried loads and I always revert to Clinique Take the Day Off. Not cheap but it works.

I use l'oreal micellar face wash which is in a pump and thicker than normal micellar water. Its about £4 for 200ml.

I personally hate the normal micellar water which needs to be put into a cotton pad to use and scraped over the skin.

Which nivea one? I use the bi-phase one and it gets my waterproof mascara off.

Soap and Glory puffy eye one is very good.

Boots no7 oil based one is great.

Thanks for all the replies Flowers

I have the Nivea extra gentle yellowsun which does nothing but have bought that one you suggested and will try that, and if I get a reaction will try one of these other suggestions. You lot are fab.

Maybe it's a tubing mascara which is difficult to remove?
Warm water should take it off.

Lancôme do the best eye makeup remover but it's ££££

Sparklyring · 07/02/2020 20:51

Lancôme bifacil is my absolutely favourite. The eye one gets all make up off, the face one isnt as good with eye make up.

drina27 · 07/02/2020 20:54

Simple cleanser is good.

Barbararara · 07/02/2020 20:55

Another vote for Lancôme. The one thing you shouldn’t stint on is good eye make up remover.

Vaseline. Good for eyelashes too.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 07/02/2020 21:06

Boots no7 oil based one is great.

I agree. It’s easily as good as the Clinique Take The Day Off that I used to use.

Sainsburys own brand eye makeup remover is cheap and excellent takes everything off. The dual purple and clear liquid one
