Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover Review

I never really tried eye makeup removers until I tried this and this did not let me down. Clinique take the day off makeup remover has been in my makeup bag for a couple of years and has got to be a staple in my collection. Finding a new eye makeup remover will be hard since this remover is pretty good and has set the standard for other removers.

The Clinique take the day off makeup remover is a bi phase formula which basically means there is an oil within the formula which gets rid of the makeup and then water section to clean up the oil. When shaken, these two sections meet and create the actual remover and that is when it is fine to use.

I first tried it from a sample in Glamour magazine a few years back and it was quite a big sample and it lasted for a while. At first I didn't like it because it felt quite oily but I finished the bottle and bought a 50ml size from Boots which is nearly empty.

 I love this remover because it literally removes every single particle of makeup and its brilliant for contact wearers. I wear contacts so its highly important to find a product which wont sting or irritate with my contacts. This remover was perfect because I sometimes got a bit of the product in my eye which is not on purpose but it made my eyes a bit blurry for a while but it never irritated or stung my eyes. After a while the blurry vision went back to normal. I feel like I am not going to worry if I get any of this into my eyes since it doesn't cause a reaction.

Also the take the day off makeup remover helped to remove all my makeup without any hassle. However it felt quite oily because of all the oils removing the makeup. To get rid of this oil, I just used a clean tissue and wiped away the remover which left my skin feeling fine and the makeup gone.

The top on the bottle is a screw top which helps to stop the bottle from leaking and it is a child safety lock to prevent children from opening the bottle. Its 100% fragrance free and doesnt have a strong overpowering smell.

Pros
*Takes off every bit of makeup
*Lasts a long time
*Screw top lid to secure the product
*Available in different sizes
*Brilliant for contact wearers

Cons
*Expensive
*Feels oily on the eyelids

Overall I love this makeup remover and perfect for me because I wear contacts, a bit expensive but worth the money.

You can get this in large Boots stores and online, basically any shop which sells Clinique products and it costs £17.00.
