Product Rave

Just downloaded a blog app. Haven't really figured out the functions yet so please bear with me!

Product rave for 2 items I never thought I needed and I now love <3

Item 1: Clinique's Clarifying Lotion in 2
I got this as part of those many gift sets Clinique do (buy two items and get a bunch of stuff) and its been laying round for ages for two reasons:
1. Wasn't too sure what a clarifying lotion was and 2. Was scared it would break me out/irritate my face. But I've been determined to use stuff or else bin it do I thought I'd give this a try before binning it. So what is it? A toner basically. And what is a toner? I still don't really know! But after I take off my make up at night and cleanse I then give my face a good swipe with the clarifying lotion. You are suppose to just leave it and apply moisturiser but due to stinging and fear I leave it or a few minutes and rinse it off. Baby steps!

My face is left squeaky clean and I used the small bottle for about 3 weeks (was very generous and I've finished the bottle already) and no break outs or rashes. Happy girl.

It's not a necessity in a face routine I feel but I enjoy stuff like this so my plan is to try out some cheaper brands of toner and hopefully find something I like and if I can't then I shall be raiding my mums cupboard to see if she's got any Clinique toner going spare :)

[edit: been using a different toner and what it's told me is...Clinique's really is amazing!! The clearness and smoothness has disappeared and I'm back to dull. Unfortunately my mum does have an unused bottle in her cupboards but it's for oily skin and I'm dry so......]

Item 2: Tesco's sensitive eye make up remover

This was about 87p or something equally ridiculous and it is amazing. I usually use baby oil to remove eye make up (still a major fan) but was
just browsing and ended up purchasing this. It's cheap and gentle and it really works. I pack on a lot of eye make up, and recently been using a primer and one cotton pad per eye soaked with the product removes everything. I am def going to repurchase this (i've finished the bottle already) and would suggest you give it a go once your usual remover runs out! You can't go wrong with 87p!!!

[edit: it's been about 2 months and I've almost finished my 2nd bottle and already have a 3rd bottle lined up - love]

So....how do you remove your eye make up? And any oner recommendations that are purse friendly? Xoxo
