Spotlight | Face of Australia Gentle Makeup Remover.

I'm a huge fan of waterproof mascara. They stay on your lashes for hours, can withstand tears, sweat, or perhaps even rain, and prevent you from getting raccoon eyes. My only gripe about the waterproof kind is that they can be very difficult (if not impossible) to remove, especially if you're just using soap and water. For the most stubborn mascara, you have to have a makeup remover that can get rid of all that gunk on your face.

One such product is the Gentle Makeup Remover by Face of Australia. It's a dual phase cleanser that works its magic once you shake it. It's a must that you shake it, as it wouldn't work otherwise.
The presentation may be a bit bland, but this baby works like a charm.
It contains cornflower extract, an ingredient well-known and popularly used for its antioxidant properties and  whitening effects. Its pH is compatible with our tears, which makes it safe and suitable for all skin types - including sensitive ones like mine.
Check the label! :)
Best of all, this product is oil-free and paraben-free. And they don't test on animals, too. Yay, for this cruelty-free brand!
Tear-compatible, sensitive formula.
Now take a look at its dual phase formula. Here's how the product looks like before you shake it.
The liquid has two phases, haha!
Shake, shake, shake until both phases have combined. 
Let's volt in!
Apply the liquid in a cotton pad. You won't need much for this product to work. Four or five drops would be just enough. Afterwards, wipe gently over the face beginning with closed eyes. Make sure not to rub makeup into the the eye area.
Pardon how gross this looks like.
And here's a tip - if you love wearing falsies, you will love how this Gentle Makeup Remover gets rid of the lash glue on your lids in a breeze!
The back of the cotton pad has even more eeewness factor, haha!
What I love:
- Gentle formulation.
- Great for sensitive skin, and all skin types.
- Fragrance-free.
- Non-greasy.
- Non-drying.
- Removes makeup really well - even the most stubborn, waterproof mascara! 
- Affordable price

What you might not like:
- Not available at physical stores here in the Philippines. 

BUT you can purchase them online via The Updated Trends for only Php425!
Thank you Ms. Smile for giving me the chance to try this genius of a product! :)

  4. This really ensures that your face is clean and also important to have the right product as the skin can be so sensitive.
