Doing Drugstore: Almay Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover Pads
Recently I ran out of my favorite makeup remover, Lancome Bi-Facil, and thought I’d take a more affordable one for a whirl. I picked up a package of Almay Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover Pads ($4.94), which were reasonably priced considering that you get 80 pads in one container.
Almay makes these pads in oil-free and moisturizing versions, and I hemmed and hawed over which one to choose. In the end, since the pads were going on my eyes, I went with the moisturizing formula. A better name for the product might be Greasy Time Fun Pads, because, lemme tell you, these things are very oily. They’ll leave a bit of oil on your eyes, which might be annoying if you wear contacts. I always blot up the excess oil with a cotton pad, because I don’t want to have oily eyes.
So why is it that I still like these? To find out, read more
These pads are oily, but I think that’s a fair tradeoff, just because they work so well at removing eyeliner, waterproof mascara and shadow. Usually I can get all of my makeup off with just one pad, and I don’t need to rub. Because the skin around the eyes is so fragile, I like being able to gently remove any color. Plus, this morning, I used a pad to quickly clean my eyeliner brush—and while that’s no substitute for a proper cleaning, it kept my Fluidline from drying on the brush.
So, should you buy this? That depends. If you can work with the oiliness, you’ll be rewarded with an inexpensive and effective makeup remover. (Just be sure to wash your face afterwards.) If you absolutely hate feeling oily, don’t even bother. The oil-free version might be up your alley, but since I haven’t yet tried that, I can’t speak to its effectiveness. But all in all, these pads are a bargain.
