waterproof make-up removers - L,Oreal VS Revlon

So when the day is over and the flashy makeup must come off, although it is sometimes all too tempting to face-plant in to bed. Waterproof makeup, whilst protecting against panda eyes and awkward running and also that need-to-look-in-the-mirror-every-five-minutes syndrome can be a pain to remove in a hurry or when you just don't feel like working at it.
So today we are looking at two relatively cheap, common brand waterproof makeup removers that will get the job done without the need for excessive effort.
1. L'Oreal Paris, Dermo-Expertise waterproof makeup remover for eyes and lips
L'Oreal Paris

price: about $15-$19 from Target, Myer, David Jones, Kmart etc, readily avaliable
suitable for sensitive skin: yes
volume in bottle: 125mL
ease or removal on eyes: pretty good, may take some scrubbing for stubborn mascara
ease of removal on lips: good
ease of use of bottle: bottle is slightly difficult and if you tip it up to get some of the product on to a makeup removing pad, chances are that it will leak a little
oily residue on skin: yes, you will need to rinse your face after makeup removal
rating:★/



2. Revlon Colorstay - dual phase eye and lip makeup remover for long ware
Revlon Colorstay


price: about $20-$29 from Target, Myer, David Jones, Kmart etc, readily avaliable
suitable for sensitive skin: not specially formulated
volume in bottle: 118mL
ease or removal on eyes: not bad, may take some serious scrubbing for stubborn mascara and lip tars
ease of removal on lips: ok
ease of use of bottle: bottle is considerably better than the L'Oreal one, it does not drip or leak when you tip it up
oily residue on skin: yes quite a lot, you will need to rinse your face after makeup removal

Overall, I would suggest for a cheap waterproof makeup remover to purchase the L'Oreal Paris one. Whilst the bottle is annoying, it is formulated for sensitive skin and doesn't take as much work to get mascaras off.
