My secret weapon

I'm not very good at applying makeup, but I'm awesome at taking it off. I can't risk raccoon eyes in the rain or if I spontaneously burst into tears so all my eye makeup is waterproof. The problem is, mascara is the hardest thing to remove, and sometimes I would wake up looking like a hungover hooker. My secret weapon:
Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover by Sephora. I've been using it for years, and it's the only thing that works for me.

Here's the rundown: It's suitable for sensitive eyes and those who wear eye contacts. I love it because I don't have to scrub my eyelids to get all the goop off. It's rich in flavonoids and olive wood extract to strengthen your eyelashes too.

Sephora's secret ingredient is HydroSenn+, derived from an Indian plant and exclusive to their brand, which helps lock moisture in the skin, leaving it soft all day. The formula doesn't contain any parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, thalates, GMOs or triclosan. 

Unfortunately I've only been able to find a Sephora in America and France. Now that I'm in the UK, I've been trying different brands but they don't seem to work very well for me. The worst one has been Kind to Eyes Eye Make-Up Remover by Simple. It's gentle on the skin, but it takes ages to remove any mascara, and even then there's still residue. 

If anyone knows a good eye makeup remover I can get in the UK, feel free to leave a comment or send me a tweet. xo
