I decided to buy Lancome’s Bi-Facil eye makeup remover after reading tons of rave reviews on Makeupalley and other blogs. I figured if this product was as fabulous as everybody said, it would be well worth the $26 price tag. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the hype.
The description on Sephora’s website says this product will “gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin” and promises “no oily residue”. I don’t use waterproof eye makeup, and I rarely wear eyeshadow or eyeliner, so the only thing I really need my makeup remover to do is take off my mascara. While it certainly does that, it is not exactly a gentle process and I definitely noticed an oily residue after using this. Before this, I was using Neutrogena’s Oil Free Makeup Remover and it was just as effective without the oily residue. Neither product removed my makeup with only one or two swipes, but the Neutrogena remover is only $7.99.
I won’t be repurchasing Bi-Facil, and my search for a fast, easy makeup remover continues. Any suggestions?
