PR`d: Estee Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.

Estee Lauder – Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
Freebie from Nordstroms (Gifted with purchase) Normally: ($15.50)

Claims: This gentle, lightweight formula works quickly and gently to thoroughly remove powder eye shadow and other eye makeup. Sweeps away without leaving any oily residue—so you can reapply eye makeup immediately after use. Oil-free formula won’t damage delicate skin. Perfect for all skin types. Suitable for contact lens wearers. Ophthalmologist tested.

How to Use: Sweep over closed eyelid with cotton pad. Wait a few seconds, then wipe gently downward. Follow with your cleanser and toning lotion.

My Rating: ?????
(Absolutely Hated it – Will never purchase again!)

Pros:

  • Cute bottle ? I guess…
Cons:
  • Burns Eyes
  • Left them extra oily even after cleansing
  • Didn’t remove all my makeup
  • Had to SCRUB to get waterproof eyeliner & mascara off
  • Had to reuse over and over again for clean eyes

My Opinion: This product did not work for me at all. I honestly have no idea how anybody uses this and likes it. The second i put it on my lids and over my lashes, i felt a little burn. Right when i started to wipe the product off, it burned even more. It left me super teary eyed and when i finally got most of the product off and opened my eyes, it was still there! It took me literally 4 attempts to get it off and even after that it still wasn’t fully off so i went and grabbed my Clinique and removed the rest. I didn’t even attempt on my other eye. I do not recommend anybody to use this unless they love having their eyes burned and tears for the rest of the night. This is a horrible product & can’t believe that it’s honestly still on the market and ‘safe’. Horrible. Horrible Horrible. It was sweet of the sales lady to give me 5 of the bottles for free – but i’m just going to throw them away. Not even worth passing it to somebody since it’s such a painful product.

PR`d: Estee Lauder Soft Clean Lotion.

Estee Lauder – Soft Clean Silky Hydrating Lotion
Purchased @ Macy’s ($19.50)

Claims: Luxurious creme foams into a moisture-rich lather to gently clean, calm and soften skin. This innovative formula help preserve skin’s moisture barrier, as they add hydration and conditioners. A soothing botanical blend calms and softens, for Dry Skin.

Contains: Passion Flower & Edelweiss (Soothing Extracts)

How to Use: Apply using Cotton Pad. (In my case, poor small amount into hand, pat hands together and pat onto face with like stroking movements from the center outwards.)

My Rating: ?????
(Liked it alot – May purchase again).

Pros:

  • Smells so good – Rosey scents
  • Smooth like it states
  • Very light weight
  • Once it’s absorbed – skin feels very fresh & smooth
Cons:
  • Not a big ‘liquid’ moisturizer user.

My Opinion: The only reason i gave this a 4 out of 5 stars is i’m not a very big ‘liquid’ moisturizer user. I prefer mine to be creamy so it allows me to dot my face and spread that way. I use this product at night and only at night followed by my Estee Lauder Soft Clean Cleanser, and will use it in the daytime if i need a fresh pick me up. This leaves my skin super soft and dry free and is NOT oily which makes this a great product. I love the texture of it once it dries because a lot of other liquid moisturizers i’ve used left my face feeling a little sticky, and this one doesn’t. Another great product for individuals with the dry skin.

PR`d: Estee Lauder Soft Clean Cleanser.

Estee Lauder – Soft Clean Tender Creme Cleanser
Purchased @ Macy’s ($19.00)

Claims: This gentle, soothing toning lotion cushions your skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple, luxuriously hydrated. These innovative formulas help preserve skin’s moisture barrier, as they add hydration and conditioners. A soothing botanical blend calms and softens, for Dry Skin.

Contains: Passion Flower & Edelweiss (Soothing Extracts)

How to Use: Use about a dime size amount and massage onto dry skin. Tissue off.

My Rating: ?????
(Loved it – Will purchase time & time again).

Pros:

  • Smells so good – Rosey scents
  • Very gentle & soothing.
  • Not heavy or cakey.
  • Large bottle (4.2 Fl. Oz) – Worth the price.

Cons:

  • Not a ‘true’ cleanser – No water required.
  • Can make you oily in the day.

My Opinion: This product worked so well for my dry skin. I can get very dry around the nose area and my cheeks. After cleansing my face with my normal wash, i massage this on my face & use a kleenex to wipe off the excess. Not only does it smell wonderful and makes your face soft instantly – You can feel the soothing begin right away. I use this product only at night and on the days i’m starting to get dry since i need the hydration mostly then. I avoid using this during the day since it can cause you to become oily during the day. It’s perfect for a night time routine. I follow this with the Soft Skin Silk Hydrating Lotion. Not only did this work the first night i used it but is still working for me & it’s been a little over 2 months. I’ve only used a quarter of the bottle so it’s well worth the money since you really don’t need to much of this product. I highly recommend this for anybody with dry skin to extremely dry skin.
