Review: The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

It claims:

Best if you want to gently cleanse and dissolve your eye makeup, as well as condition your lashes, with our best-selling mild lotion.

Key Ingredients:

• Organic Camomile Water - known for its calming effects, soothes the skin.
• Algae Extract - rich in minerals that help moisturise and revitalise the skin.
• Glycerin - effective moisturiser, cleans skin and eyelashes without over-drying.

Recommended Instruction of Use:

Squeeze a small amount onto a cotton wool pad. Close one eye and place the pad over the eye area for a few seconds. Gently sweep in a downward motion to remove eye make-up from the lids and lashes. Avoid dragging the skin as this may result in the formation of lines. Repeat with a new cotton wool pad on the other eye.

Price: for 250 mL (4 fl oz)

• USD$14.50
• Rp. 99,000
• AUD$18.95

My verdict (did not mean to bash this product - but just my honest opinion)

NEGATIVEly:

• Is NOT as gentle as they claim it to be because: ...
• It can be rather drying, not moisturising at all on the eyelids
• It can sting your eyes - what kind of "gentle" are they talking about?
• It can make your eyes red
• I don't feel my lashes getting "soft as silk" or "TLC" effects
• Does not remove waterproof mascara that well, need numerous swipes
• Bottle is opaque white, you cannot see how much you've used, and how much is left.
• a bit soapy - bubbles form ... weird!
  

POSITIVEly:

• nice barely there scent
• 250 mL is huge bottle with reasonable price compared to other brands makeup remover
• it still does remove eye makeup (eyeshadows - no problem - easy swipe)

Will I purchase it again? No. There's better ones out there that does not sting or make your eyes red! Or dries your eyelids!

Why did I buy it? I ran out of my eye makeup remover just before I left to Indonesia so I didn't bring any from Australia to Indonesia, thinking of just buying one here. I found The Body Shop store and decided to try it out since it seems to have a reasonable price for its size - at the time.

Have you tried this makeup remover?? What do you think of it?
