On the rare occasion that I might sleep out, one fact can be sure: I will return home looking outrageous. The first to suffer is always my eyeliner, which has a nasty habit of smearing and transforming me into some savage-looking raccoon by dawn. A potentially romantic morning can easily turn into a classic “walk of shame” by such a messy face; revealing the nasty secret of just how much makeup I wore last night. With the help of Make Up For Ever: Aqua eyes, these days I don’t come home looking good… but at least I can avoid an eye-disaster.
Save Yourself, Ladies!
Pros:
- Extensive selection of colors, ranging from neon yellow to a sparkly version of black.
- “Generic” to Sephora, so it is affordable ($17.00) and will last you from summer to winter.
- Advertised as a two-in-one eyeshadow and liner pencil, this means it glides on smoothly.
- Doesn’t irritate sensitive eyes (safe for contact wearers).
- Waterproof
- Sephora has an amazing return policy: within 60 days of purchase, they offer a full refund for all used and unsatisfying products.
Cons:
- Must use eye-makeup remover to take it off – I suggest Clinique: Take The Day Off.
First of all, this liquid isn’t lotion. I use it as a toner with a cotton ball. Secondly, it smells straight up like alcohol – so badly that I almost threw up using it after washing my face with a hangover. Clinique advertises that this stuff is “exfoliating lotion developed by Clinique’s dermatologists de-flakes to reveal clearer skin. Smooth[ing] the way for moisture.” Even if the word lotion is misleading, this WORKS. I swab it on after i wash my face, then let it dry and apply moisturizer. Amazing. When i use it every day, my skin is ACTUALLY as soft as a babies bottom… and that makes everyone happy. =)
Pros:
- One bottle lasts a couple months.
- My skin feels so much smoother after using this product.
- This liquid “clarifies,” by wiping off any residue left from my face wash.
- Reasonably priced: a big bottle costs $11.50
Cons:
- You have to hold your breath while you apply it because it smells so freaking strongly of alcohol.
- This IS NOT lotion, I don’t know what Clinique was thinking when they titled the product.

This makeup remover for “lids, lashes & lips,” is my savior. I was skeptical of this product at first because it was so expensive, but cheap makeup remover just can’t hack it. I try to avoid rubbing my eyes as much as possible, and this super-oily formula melts even the strongest waterproof makeup off. Safe for contact-lens wearers! I just swipe my eyes with a cotton ball and then splash my face with water. Clean and moisturized: this stuff does its job.
Pros:
- 100% Fragrance Free
- Allergy Tested
- Safe for contact lens wearers.
- Takes off ALL of your eye-makeup. Gentle. Fast.
- A 4.2 ounce bottle lasts me two months.
Cons:
- I would wash my face after using this product, it is incredibly oily and could make you break-out.
- Shake WELL before using, this formula separates in the bottle.
- Expensive: $18.00
