Makeup removers come in all formulas and methods these days! There might be a million and one different products for removing your face on the shelf at any cosmetic or drug store. Today for Makeup Monday I want to share some formulas I have found to be excellent for removing even the most stubborn waterproof makeup.
For me, removers break down into two types- those already on a wipe, and those you have to apply with your own.
Let’s start with the wipes: My two favourites in this category are Olay Fresh Wipes and Target brand Cleansing Towelettes. I’m really picky when it comes to wipes like this; I don’t want them to leave a soapy like residue, and I need them to have some sort of texture. These two are both extremely well priced, and leave your skin feeling clean and not tacky. They are perfect for traveling as well!
The second type of makeup removers are those you apply with a cotton ball (or flat round, definitely the round!): Micellar waters have finally crossed The Pond and Bioderma is by far my everyday go to for removing any and all makeup. It has no scent, leaves your skin moisturized, fresh and leaves absolutely no residue (can you tell that’s big in my book?). The Lancome and MAC are both more traditional liquid moisturizers. I love that neither of these are heavily scented, and that they don’t leave you feeling oily, just fresh and clean.
Happy Monday loves! I hope you have a great week planned ahead of you, and that you accomplish all your goals.
I’ve been wanting to try those Olay makeup wipes, they sound like a great product! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I hope you like them! Thank you for the love. Hugs, Kait
Love this post Kait! I usually use olive oil to remove my makeup. But sometimes if I am in hurry I use wipes. I love OLAY. Will check out other wipes you have mentioned. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

You’re so welcome! Thanks for checking them out, and I hope you try some of them out and fall in love! Hugs, Kait
I usually use olive oil to remove eye makeup at home (so moisturing!) but when I travel, I love the towelettes! They’re so convenient and don’t spill everything in your bag! I’ll have to give your recommendation a try. I often just buy the drugstore CVS brand.

I’ve used the CVS brand before, and you really can’t beat the price! Definitely the best for traveling. Hugs, Kait

I’ve had so many people say they use coconut oil! I’m going to have to give it a try again. Hugs, Kait

I like to use oil to remove makeup, it’s the easiest way and always good with waterproof makeup 😀 But I always have a huge selection of cleansing swips and water, too 😀 Thank you for the introduction 🙂

Olive oil is so good for so many things! (Just like coconut!) Hugs, Kait
Bioderma is one of my favs but gosh it hits my pockets! Thanks for sharing more options for me to consider! Great post!
Fortunately it lasts a while! Hugs, Kait
I prefer the makeup removers that you apply with a ball 🙂 I find that they last longer than the wipes

Out of all that I shared the Micellar water is by far my favourite! I can’t recommend it enough. Hugs, Kait
My favorite makeup remover of all time is Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm!

You’re the second person to mention a cleansing balm! I have to try it. Hugs, Kait
I usually steer clear of make-up wipes but I never realised MAC had a make-up remover, will be checking it out! xx
http://www.adaliascloset.blogspot.co.uk
MAC has some really great products you wouldn’t generally go to them for! Hugs, Kait
Love the Lancome Bi-Facil! I also love using the Target eye makeup removers for my whole face, as I find them to be more cleansing and gentle.
I completely agree with that! I’m too lazy for two removers, I need just one to do the job. Hugs, Kait
This is great! I’ve been looking for a new make up remover. Thanks for sharing, Kait!
Yay! I hope you chose to try one of these love. Hugs, Kait
Great post! I’ve been trying to wean myself off of makeup removing towelettes- and coconut oil works extremely well to remove eye makeup!
I wish Bioderma wasn’t as expensive because it is such an amazing product!
http://www.lindseyginge.com
I’ve heard that about coconut oil! I would love to use coconut oil- it has sooo many uses for hair and skin, but I can’t take the residue. Sigh, it is expensive, but does last forever! Hugs, Kait
bioderma & lancome are my fav 🙂
coats everywhere
Two excellent removers for sure! Hugs, Kait
I love posts like these! I always learn something new!! Thanks for sharing dear!!

You should definitely try the Target ones- they are so similar to the Ponds. I hope you have an amazing week as well gorgeous. Hugs, Kait
I’ve been using Bioderma Micellar Water for a while now and I absolutely love it! It’s super quick and easy and doesn’t cause any skin reactions, which has happened with other natural wipes a few times.
