Benefit: They're Real Remover Review

I recently blogged about the Benefit They're Real Liner, and in comparison to how much 'wow factor' it gave me, the remover really let me down.



The remover itself worked an absolute treat. I used the small sample by squeezing the contents of the packet onto a cotton pad, one for each eye. On my eye's I had They're real Liner and They're Real mascara, and the mascara itself is a real pain to remove if you do not have the right products!  SO baring in mind I had two super tricky products on my very sensitive eyes, this product had a lot of work to do to remove them.

I rubbed the pads over my eyes and just like magic, both products slowly disappeared. No harsh stinging, no forceful scrubbing, just a gentle wipe and it was gone (without sounding too much like a kitchen cleaning ad here).



However, the feeling of the cream itself was not so great. I usually use Johnson's eye makeup remover pads, and one pad removes both eyes with my eyelashes smothered in They're Real mascara. So i'm used to using moisturised pads to wipe my eye makeup off at the end of the day. But They're Real remover is like a thick and cold soothing cream, great if you like that kind of stuff. The product itself was not sticky or gloopy, just really really thick!! When I was wiping my eyes it did not feel comfortable, just because it was like rubbing a tub of thick facial cream over my eyelids.



Overall, the product itself is amazing! The thing that put me off buying the full sized product was the feeling of it. I would have preferred it to be a little thinner, more like a soft moisturiser, instead of a thick face cream feeling.

Until next time, Lovelies x
