Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Corrector Pen - My New Best Friend!

I would like you to meet my new best friend. Her name is the Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-Up Corrector Pen. I received this pen in a previous Bellabox and seriously don't know how I lived without it for so long!

The Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make Up Corrector Pen apparently features the same formula as the Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make Up remover. The pen precisely corrects any eye make-up mistakes and is so easy to use that I never have to worry about smudging my eye make-up again.

Here is a little bit of info from the Simple website:

Our special blend of Simple cleansing goodness containing Pro-Vitamin B5, helps to gently cleanse and remove eye make-up mistakes.

• No alcohol, no oil
• Non drying and non greasy
• No perfume, no colour
• No unnecessary ingredients so it won't upset your skin

Dermatologically Tested and Approved

As you can see in the above picture, the pen feature a very fine tip which makes it easy to precisely remove any mistakes around the eye area. My biggest problem is always getting mascara on my top and bottom lids (I leave my mascara to last and am usually rushing by this point) and this pen makes it so easy to dab onto the stray mascara spot and make it just disappear. Due to its point being so fine, if you happen to remove a bit of your eyeshadow or eyeliner with it, the spot is usually so small that it's very easy to blend it again and off you go!

The pen has no scent that I can determine and I have never noticed any irritation at all from using it around my eye area.

I've used mine for a few weeks now and it's not showing any signs of drying up yet. I'm very curious to see how long it actually does last.

Has anyone else tried this eye make-up corrector pen yet? Are there any other similar pens out there I should know about?

Review - Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes and Lips

Historically I have been a big fan of the facial wipe to remove any stubborn makeup. But, since I received a bottle of this as a gift with purchase from Clinique I must say I am a little converted.

Here's a little bit about the Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes and Lips (Phew, I get tired just typing that huge name...):

'A unique, two-way formula that loosens the grip, then speeds the departure of the most persistent, eye make-up, mascaras and lipsticks. Offers superior, fast acting cleansing and make-up removal for the delicate eye and lip areas. Removes eye make-up thoroughly, without pulling or tugging eye area skin, even waterproof formulations. Ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers.'

I have been using this makeup remover for a while now and am amazed almost every time at how effective it really is. I am also a contact lens wearer sometimes and love the fact that I don't get any irritation or dryness at all from using this makeup remover.

This baby can remove practically anything. I have used it on the most stubborn waterproof mascaras and eye liners and it cuts through these with ease. You don't need to use too much either for it to work it's magic.

It's even one of the best products I have ever tried against removing all traces of OCC Lip Tars. As anyone who has tried these will know, they can stain the life out of your lips (or arms, fingers, chin, whatever they may come into contact with while you are strategically trying to apply them) and this stain is a real bugger to get off. This makeup remover totally eliminates any trace of Lip Tar stain which is just amazing.

One thing I must say though is that it needs to be shaken really well prior to use as the oil separates in the bottle.

It can also leave a bit of a greasy residue on the skin after use which some people may not be a big fan of but I much prefer this feeling than having a that tight dry feeling you can get sometimes with other products.

Once my bottle runs out I will definitely be hot-footing it back to Clinique to get some more. I can't imagine ever using any other makeup remover now.

Has anyone else ever tried this and have liked or disliked it?
