Almay Moisturizing Eye Make Up Remover


$2.00 at Big Lots, so why not? I was drawn to this because it claims that it can remove waterproof and long wearing lip color. I always have a hard time removing MAC Pro Long Wear Lip Color from my lips and hate to waste my favorite Neutrogena remover on lipstick. Even Neutrogena didn’t remove all the traces of Pro Long Wear. The consistency of this remover claims to be gel, but I would have to say this is more of a heavy cream. It really reminded me of Vaseline and it really did feel like Vaseline when I tried to remove my eye make up with it. Yuck! I would suggest not using this on your eye area. This did however hold up to its claim of removing long wearing lipstick and would use this remover for that purpose only.


Just looks like petroleum jelly to me!


I have MAC Pro Longwear on my hand and put remover on the top half.


One swipe and it removed it! There is good use for this! I'll keep it around, but I won't be buying anymore since its not that great.

ALMAY® bright eyes® liner/highlighter duo in Soft Black/Champagne

I was convinced to buy this eyeliner after Ms. B asked if I had seen this or heard about it. Well, I did pick up an older version of this liner at Big Lots and liked it, but didn't love it. This on the other hand, I do love!

What the website says:

Instantly refreshes and enhances your eyes with a unique natural complex of marine extracts, white tea and light reflectors. The eyeliner works double duty to softly define eyes, while the highlighter illuminates the brow bone and corners for a lifting effect.
Hypoallergenic. Ophthalmologist tested.



The liner does not tug while applying! I was surprised! The highlighter was creamy and easily blendable. I was able to line my lid and waterline with ease and had just minimal smudging. Overall, I really like this liner and would repurchase. Ms. B will be getting one too! One thing I wish was different was the actual packaging. The older version of this that I have is a twist up automatic pencil that's a bit more sleek.
