Talking about makeup with a friend the other day, I told her how I love Benefit’s They’re real mascara. She said: “It’s amazing but I can’t wear it, it’s impossible to remove and I’m not spending money on their mascara remover.” Mascara remover…?
I didn’t get why that mascara wouldn’t come off. Never got any kind of issues with it.
I just typed on the internet to see what people said about that. Indeed, I found many blog posts and comments from girls complaining about the mascara being very hard to wash off. I also saw the They’re real remover, which is almost as expensive as the mascara itself.
So I simply thought I would share how I remove my makeup.
That’s how I’ve been removing it for years. It’s the cheapest, healthiest, most natural and easiest way to remove makeup I know of, and it does remove Benefit’s They’re real mascara too, as easy as it would remove any other one.
I just found BTR mascara and YEAH!! It’s great. Makes my old lady eyes very happy. Except the issue of getting it off that night. Crikey. So I did try my coconut oil (in a jar I keep for every little thing) and it did the trick. Sadly, my contacts did not like the coconut residue in the morning and had to toss and start with a new pair — sooooooooooooo ….. I’ll give the olive oil a whirl. See what happens.
hm, i dOn’t use this mascara, but absolutely HaTE my make-up remover. I’m switching to olive oil! (It doesn’t bother the eyes?!?! Not that I’d try and douse them with it or anything, lol, but still). Thanks for the tip. Will look into this mascara as well! Easy!
well of course if you rub your eyes like you’re trying to remove them with a bottle of olive oil, you might get a blurry vision for a couple of minutes 🙂
I always remove my eye makeup with Baby Oil, leaving some of the ‘grease’ on for it to be absorbed overnight. I learned this from my mother, whose eyes do not show her age. She uses the original, I prefer the one with cocoa butter. And you CANNOT tell my mother’s age by her eyes. She looks incredible… and I am following in her steps!
Bought the Benefit mascara trial size, was highly recommended, it stayed on for THREE DAYS..could NOT get it off. Will be using this because I loved the mascara, just want it to be able to come off. #thanksyourock
You’re welcome! ^_^
I just use the OCM with olive oil (no soap or other moisturizer), and it gets off the They’re Real mascara, UD’s primer potions, foundation, everything, without issue. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to soap/moisturizer. This just works so much better. And that mascara is amazing.
I tried OCM last year for a month and I ended up with my face all covered in tiny tiny pimples and with one big red bump on my left cheek (like an under skin pimple or something) that stayed there for FOUR months. I was all so excited to try it as a friend was doing it and her skin looked amazing, AND because I’m always trying to use natural products for everything! But in the end my skin was worse than ever.. I don’t know, maybe it’s too reactive :s
