Almay oil free make up remover

Hi Everyone,

I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the Almay oil free make up remover.




Product Claims:

new look! gentle oil free liquid completely removes all traces of makeup that soap and water can leave behind. botanical blend of aloe, cucumber and green tea sweeps away makeup without irritation. perfect for contact lens wearers. hypoallergenic. fragrance-free. dermatologist tested.

Product experience

The product comes in a clear plastic bottle, you get 4 fl oz of product for $6.18. The product is just a clear liquid, looks just like water.










Pros:
  • The product is a clear liquid doesn't need to be shaken up to mix
  • Does not leave any greasy residue
  • Good for fixing mistakes and cleaning up any eye shadow fall out.
  • inexpensive
  • Available at drugstores


Cons:
  • Not the best of removing waterproof make up or mascara
By far it's not the best at removing really tough water proof mascara or eyeliner but I like it for fixing mistakes and this does not leave any oily residue.

Eucerin Daily moisturizer with SPF

Hi Everyone,

Happy New year, I hope you had enjoyed the holidays and is looking forward to having a fresh start this 2015. To kick off the new year I thought I should start with skin care, since the weather has become cold. My skin has gotten drier, I needed to use a much richer moisturizer so I decided to pick this up from the drugstore

Product experience
I bought the travel size 1 fl oz or 30 ml for $2.99 but the full size is 4 fl oz for $9.99



Pros

  • Has SPF 30
  • Inexpensive
  • Light weight and doesn't leave that tacky heavy feeling

moisturizer after some blending, notice the uneven white cast


Cons

  • Takes a while to sink into my skin
  • Hard to blend
  • Might cause a flash back because of the high sun block
  • Leaves a white cast upon initial application so this needs to blended very well

This product makes my pores noticeable


For me this is an okay product, I like that this has a good amount of sun protection but I don't like that the moisturizer leaves a white cast or that the product took a while to sink into my skin
