Etude House Lip & Eye Remover Review

Hey guys! Apologies for the lack of update. Been busy with school these days but now that we've started our mid-sem break, hopefully I can update more :)

When I saw this at Etude House, my first thought was why would anyone want to have their lips and eyes removed?! Lol the name is quite intimidating! Anyway the reason why I chose to review the product is because this is one of my favourite lip and eye makeup remover so far and it deserves to be discovered by more people! I'm currently already on my third bottle. I've tried other removers in between but this one I find still works the best. Moreover, the price is also very wallet-friendly!

The writing on the front side of the bottle says: "Gentle, yet highly effective, this double formulated lip & eye remover easily and instantly dissolves all trances of make-up for a soothing and moisturizing effect on the sensitive eye & lip area without any irritation".

True true. The makeup remover is really gentle and causes me no irritation so far. Some eye makeup remover tend to be harsher on your eyes and can cause burning sensations, eye discomfort and worse of all! - is when an oil-based product gets into your eyes and causes momentarily blurred vision oh gosh! This product is also oil-based but you wouldn't really feel the oiliness.

It works really well to remove my makeup even when I am wearing heavy eye makeup and dries quite fast and doesn't leave the oiliness behind. It also has a clean smell which I truly enjoy. It makes me fresh especially after a long day out with rotten makeup.

How to use: Shake well before each use. Apply to eye & lip area using soft cotton of tissue.

After shaking the bottle


The product comes in an ordinary 100ml bottle. Nothing exciting here but I can overlook that as the product is quite inexpensive and effective. When the cap is unscrewed, this is how it looks like:


Overall, I would obviously recommend this product. It is mild yet works well removing your makeup. I honestly haven't tried it with lip makeup yet as I am mostly wearing only natural lip colours which are easier to remove. I would definitely repurchase this again, and again!

Score: 5/5
Price: B$9.90 / 4000W


*You can purchase this product at your local Etude House or at KollectionK*

Tony Moly Panda's Dream Good-Bye Dark Eye Corrector Review

Dark circles under the eyes - probably one of the most unflattering things that would appear in your photos. Have you been itching to try out the Panda's Dream dark eye corrector? Here's my review of the product.

Love the cute concept of the packaging. It's definitely a panda's dream, to get a dark circle-free eyes lol.
 Haha forgive me I just can't pass up posting this pic!

Anyway, the tube is quite big. 20ml of cream just for your eyes will definitely last a long time.


So this product is supposed to whiten your under eye area with "immediate whitening effect". It contains Niacin Amide that's supposed to prevent melanin synthesis and hence reducing the dark appearance, as well as Haloxyl that also reduces the dark circle and improves dull skin tone. Anyway let's skip the chemistry part lol. 

Anyway I had been using this since last January. At first I used it quite religiously, until I noticed that it didn't even reduce my dark circle -.-" Since then I had been using it on and off which explains why I still have it now lol. I have always been sleep-deprived especially on school nights so probably that's why it didn't work. The product may work differently for everyone. Maybe it will work on you if you are compliant to using it every night and sleep enough hours. However, honestly I don't think this product is worth the money spent as it showed no change to my under eye at all. 
 

Score: 1/5 (for cute packaging!)
