I first used this many years ago but it did not leave a lasting impression on me then. A few months back, I bought one from a friend after she got some drastic results with this remover. She has a number of them kept in stock and because it made her lashes drop, she decided to sell it to me.

The first 2 times I used it, it was exactly as what my friend said. It made my eyelashes drop too. I was stunned. I do not remember having this reaction before. Did my lashes become weaker or has the formulation change? Camomile is supposed to be gentle, isn't it?
Usually, my lashes came off when I was trying to cleanse my mascara on the lashes so now I am using it to cleanse away my concealer only. It felt safe and it made me happier, to know that at least I am saving my lashes. LOL

It actually looks and feel gentle on the eyes though I do not really fancy anything with oil in it.
It looks like a clear liquid but once applied on the undereyes area, it left an oily residue on it.
It does not remove waterproof mascara and with normal mascara, it made my lashes came off.

If you just need something to remove the concealer or eye colour, then you can try this out but I believe there are better products out there which can work in removing all kinds of eye make-up.

Some people love this anyway, scoring 9.2/10 on Total Beauty yet 2.7/5 on Makeupalley
