Clinique naturally gentle eye makeup remover

Everyday we put make up on and every evening we take our make up off, which isn't always as easy as putting the make up on. I have been a wipe kind of girl for a long time, but then I started to look through the products that I have and saw that I have a lot of make up remover to go through. So I starter with the "Clinique naturally gentle eye makeup remover".
 
I have been using this for quiet a while now,  and the thing is I have always used wipes and then washed my face afterwards and used my skin routine. While I have been using it I haven't used wipes, but then I had to stay over a night and I only had wipes with me and right there in that bathroom in Copenhagen I realized how easy it is to use a creamy eye makeup remover. I had to hold the wipe against my eye to make the mascara come more workable and I normally don't have problems with that when I use the "Clinique naturally gentle eye makeup remover". 

It's a white creamy consistency and it does have a smell to it, but it is not an overwhelming smell, and it doesn't feel like its a strong perfumed product that you are about to place on your eyes. It is allergy tested and its 100% perfume free, which I have always loved about Clinique's products. 

This is what Clinique themselves says about this product: 

"Clinique's gentlest eye makeup remover. Rich, creamy lotion spreads evenly, quickly. Effectively removes all signs of makeup without leaving an oily after-feel. As gentle to the eyes as tears. For all skin types. Ophthalmologist Tested. Appropriate for contact lens wearers.""

The way that I use it is I apply a small amount on each eye lid and then I slowly and softly rub on my lids without pulling and making sure that I get all of my mascara soften so I can swipe it away with a cotton ball, then when I think it is ready to get off I swipe it off. Sometimes I haven't found my cotton ball before I applied it so I have to open my eyes to get one, and that can sting a little bit, but nothing that really hurts, and my make up gets off so easily I don't have to pull or anything just swipe a cotton ball over my lids and then the make up is removed. 

I love using this because it is so easy and it doesn't leave a oily feeling afterwards which I think is really nice. I would buy this product again, because it is so easy to work with and it does really work, I have tried with coats and coats of mascara and eye liner, and everything has easily come off with this make up remover, so it is worth the money, but on the other hand I'm sure that you can find another good make up remover that is a lot cheaper, since this product is $18. 

I have another Clinique make up remover that I need to try out and I can't wait after the good results that I have gotten with this one, the down side is that it is only a eye make up remover, but sometimes if I have left overs on my fingers I rub it on my skin to get my foundation of, but with the purpose this product has it works perfectly. 

Enjoy your day! :)

Summer Blush ELF & NARS

E.L.F's Blush In Glow
Peach/ Gold 
Blush is something most of us use so we don't look like zombies when we have created the perfect base with our foundation. Blush is one of the things that you can get in all kind of shapes, forms, consistency and colors. I have a lot of different kind of blushes and I have to say that there a lot more out there that I wish I had just because they look so pretty. 

The other day I  had just put my foundation and was looking through my blushes to see which one I would like to wear. I have had this love hate relationship with the famous Orgasm from NARS, it's like some times I love the finish it gives on my cheek and other times I think it just looks like I blowed glitter all over my cheeks. So I was looking at my NARS blush when I saw that my E.L.F blush in Glow was right next to it. So I decided to take the E.LF one and I just fell in love with it right there when it hit my cheeks. It gave the most beautiful glow on my cheeks. I started using this blush everyday and it gave the same beautiful glow everyday, and then I started to think about my NARS blush that was right next to this one dollar blush. 

I think that they have some kind of similarities, but if you watch Emily Noels dupe blush video then she won't agree and it isn't completely a match, but I do think that they come to have a very look a like finish when you both apply them, just the thing that I like Glow every time I apply it, whereas I'm not always crazy about orgasm. 
NARS Orgams
Peachy/Gold/Pinkish

Orgasm is a really beautiful blush sometimes I just think that there is way too much glitter in it, and it makes me look like a disco ball, which I don't like. Glow is really beautiful when you are a bit tan which means that it perfect for summer. I haven't done a review for neither of these blushes, but I'm sure of that when I have used up Glow from ELF then I will buy it again, where as when it comes to the NARS Orgasm then I'm not sure. Not only is it a lot of money for a blush (that last for a long time, but its still just a blush), but I don't like everytime I apply it. Sometimes I kind of wish I didn't apply it because all that comes of is just glitter. 

But thing is that sometimes you really shouldn't listen to the hype around products, and then on the other hand you should, because when I apply the NARS blush and it looks good then I love, because it also have this amazing glow when it doesn't only look like you applied glitter. All in all then I have to say that the ELF one for me at least gives the best glow, but if you a make upholic, but you don't have a lot of money to spend right now, then look into the ELF blushes because they are really good, and then if you get a bit more money later on and just really want to try the NARS Orgasm then do it, because when it looks good, then it looks damn good. 


Expensive doesn't always mean that it is the best product, that I think is awesome, have a good day :)
