Okay, so I didn’t expect much when I bought the Kiss Me Heroine Make Speedy Mascara Remover. Like, I’ve tried SO many makeup removers, and they all pretty much do the same thing, right? So when this popped up while I was buying the mascara (because I’m a sucker for recommendations), I thought, “Why not?” I wasn’t expecting it to change my life.

⁠⠀
But, y’all, the first time I used it, I was genuinely shocked. I had on a full face of makeup—waterproof mascara, eyeliner, the whole nine yards. I’ve always had to scrub my lashes to get all that stuff off, but this remover? It’s different. I applied it like mascara (it comes with a mascara-like wand) and left it for like 30 seconds. I wiped it off with a cotton pad, and boom… mascara was gone. Not in one swipe, but way easier than anything else I’ve tried. I didn’t have to pull or rub at my lashes. And my eyes didn’t feel irritated after. A miracle? Maybe.

⁠⠀
I kept using it over the next few days, thinking maybe it was a fluke, but nah—every time I used it, it worked just as well. This remover doesn’t make the mascara disappear in one second, but it definitely breaks it down in a way that’s way gentler than anything I’ve used before. Like, I usually end up losing a lash or two when I use oil-based cleansers, but not with this.

⁠⠀
The biggest win? My lashes don’t feel as brittle. I used to have that super stiff, crunchy lash vibe after taking off waterproof mascara, but this product doesn’t do that. Honestly, I thought I was imagining it at first, but after a couple of weeks, my lashes are softer and healthier feeling. If you wear mascara every day, this is such a game-changer.

⁠⠀
But, here’s the thing—I do have a few complaints. First, the size. It’s really small. If you use mascara every day like me, it won’t last you long. I’m halfway through mine after just three weeks, and that’s a little annoying when you’re spending $10 on something that gets used up quickly. Also, the wand can get messy. You’ll have to wipe it off after every use, or it gets pretty gross with that black residue from the mascara.

⁠⠀
Another thing I wish it did was take off eyeliner and eyeshadow, but it doesn’t. So if you’re wearing a full glam look, this won’t be your one-stop shop. You’ll still need your regular makeup remover for everything else. But let’s be real, it’s called a “mascara remover,” so I can’t be mad about that.

⁠⠀
I tried skipping this one night and just used my regular oil cleanser. Big mistake. My lashes felt dry again, and I had to rub harder. I honestly didn’t realize how much this little thing had become a staple in my routine until I went without it.

⁠⠀
Would I recommend it? Honestly, yeah. If you wear waterproof mascara and you want something that’s gentle and effective, this is worth it. But if you’re using regular mascara or you’re okay with your usual remover, it might not be a game-changer for you. For me though, it’s officially my go-to mascara remover.

⁠⠀
So yeah, Kiss Me Heroine Make Speedy Mascara Remover isn’t flashy. It’s not super exciting, but it works. And sometimes that’s all we need, right?

⁠⠀
Now I’m definitely repurchasing it. Because I never want to go back to the days of fighting with my mascara at night. ✌🏻
