A couple questions for you lovely people

I absolutely love Estee Lauder's cream eye-make up remover. It works perfectly. :)

I'm going to hit 2 birds with 1 stone right now. XD

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL!!!

I also use L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof mascara. I love it! It makes my teeny, short, straight, and sparse asian lashes sooooo long and thick. And the waterproof formula has enough wax for my lashes to retain the curl all day long. You're right, it can be a pain to remove. But I just use some EVOO with a cotton swab (so as not to rub vigorously at my eye lids, don't want premature wrinkles!) and tada! It comes right off!

EVOO also works heavenly as a lash conditioner and moisturizer. I've been using EVOO as an eye makeup remover since about January, and my lashes are longer and so much more stronger. One day I was curling my lashes, and I was like, "Woah! Are my lashes longer? There's more length in the lashes for me to curl!" I also find that my lashes work even better with my mascara lately, like it's so easy to sweep my mascara on and my lashes don't clump. :D Totally recommend!

Icon love! Cute! I may have to try the olive oil, but how does it feel on your skin? I have some hesitation about putting something that oily on my skin... :\

Oh, and I LOVE Voluminous. I have long lashes already but they're blonde/really light brown. I like to layer it up to get that really full look.

I love that icon too! <3

Cool! That sounds super easy and gotta love that a cooking fluid can double as a skincare product (not that I'm going to squeeze back oil into a kitchen-use only container, but you get the idea... lol). Thanks for the tip! I'll let you know how it goes when I attempt to wrangle this Voluminous off my lashes. ;)

I wash my make up off with baby oil, it's cheap and works pretty well. The only problem is that it takes a while to wash it all off.

Oil is best for removing waterproof mascara - baby oil, (food or cosmetic grade) mineral oil, olive oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, etc. Take your pic.

Yeah it’s oily but, I just do it before washing off my entire face with a cleanser and that solves the oily problem.

[polish_pirate]

I agree. I always remove makeup before a more thorough cleansing, so hopefully that should get rid of any oily substance residue.

haha. Thanks for the input, but I actually hate how that stuff feels. I've tried it a few times hoping I would just get used to it, but alas. No go. :(
