real talk??
this tiny clear tube saved my lashes 😭😭
but also gave me ✨mixed feelings✨ so let’s unpack 💅🏼
⠀
👀 the sitch:
I wear waterproof mascara EVERY day 😤
like I’m not stepping out w/ straight lashes sry not sry
my go-to is either Heroine Make’s own waterproof one (bc obvi) or Maybelline Sky High 😮💨
and if you know those…
you know they DO 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 MOVE 👏🏻
not even after a full day of school, gym, crying over a B–, and falling asleep w/ my makeup on 😅
⠀
soooo
I saw this mascara remover trending on TikTok + J-beauty blogs
everyone was like “it MELTS it off”
and the way I needed that in my life 🥲
⠀
🪄 the vibe:
okay it looks like a clear mascara??
it has a spoolie wand so you brush it ONTO your lashes
and like… that alone?? genius 🧠✨
no cotton pad, no rubbing
just brush brush wait wipe 🙌🏼
⠀
🧪 how it works for me:
I leave it on for 30 sec-ish
then gently swipe w/ a tissue or go in w/ my oil cleanser
and yeah… it does loosen even waterproof stuff!!
like I don't have to yank or scrub my eyes like I used to 😭
⠀
but here’s the drama 💅🏼💅🏼
for me it’s not a one-and-done 😤
I still need to double cleanse
like I use this → then oil cleanser → then foam
and sometimes there’s still residue 😩
⠀
also it’s tiny??
like girl I used it for 2 weeks and already I’m halfway done 🥲
and for $10??
I mean I get it, she’s imported, she’s cute
but I wish there was a jumbo size 😩💸
⠀
⚠️ and another thing:
the wand is genius but if you don’t clean it
it gets NASTY real fast 😖
mascara builds up on it and gets crunchy
so like… remember to wipe it after each use pls
⠀
✨ pros:
– super gentle, like no burning EVER
– doesn’t mess w/ my lash extensions (!!!)
– cute packaging, easy to carry
– actually works on waterproof mascara
– my lashes feel less brittle now 🖤
⠀
👎 cons:
– not enough product tbh
– can’t skip cleansing after
– not for super lazy days
– the wand gets gunky
⠀
💡btw:
if you’re more into one-step makeup removal
I still recommend Farmacy Green Clean or Clinique Take The Day Off balm
they’re both like ✨melt your whole face off✨ (in a good way lol)
but yeah they’re $$$ so I get it
⠀
✨ my verdict:
she’s not a miracle
but she’s a cute lil helper
I keep her in my gym bag + travel pouch
esp when I don’t wanna bring a whole jar of balm 😮💨
⠀
will I repurchase??
honestly… yeah
but I wish they made it cheaper or at least BIGGER 😭😭😭
⠀
if you love your lashes
and you wear waterproof everything like me
you should at least try it once 💕
just don’t expect her to do ALL the work lol
⠀
ok that’s all 🫶🖤
this mascara remover is a ✨solid B+✨
not god-tier but def worth the hype if you know what to expect 💁♀️
