I bought both Boots Botanics eye makeup removers recently as a weak justification for spending £30 on a night cream. A night cream which is now currently retailing for £20.
I wore a full eye of makeup a few Sundays ago when I first tried both of these out. A full eye of makeup for me is primer, shadow one, shadow two, shadow three, mascara (two coats), clear mascara, liquid/gel liner and pencil liner. I fully utilise the lower lashline when it comes to application so there was makeup wherever my eye could take it.
My eyes are notoriously sensitive to any liquid that isn't water. I get along with cream cleansers just fine but I'm yet to find a liquid remover that doesn't sting me. I wear contact lens to work most of the time so I don't want something that will aggravate my eyes moreso when I get home.
I've tested both Boots Botanics removers solidly for three weeks, varying my eye makeup from full on to bare minimum (mascara) and this is my verdict.
