OK, get your minds all the way out of the gutter…lol. I’m taking about taking off your eye makeup at night.

As much as I like putting on my makeup, I love taking it all off so I’m a little bit obsessed with makeup removers. Sure I already have my tried and true faves (Koh Gen Do Cleansing Water and Ole Henriksen Truth to Go Wipes), but what kind of beauty fiend would I be if I didn’t try a whole bunch of other products, right? Right.

So since my list of makeup remover faves include a cleansing water and wipes, I felt I had to go retro with Mario Badescu Eye Make Up Remover Cream (c/o Mario Badescu). It’s a super thick gel-cream that makes me feel all 1950s (this is a good thing) when I use it. And it’s super gentle. You basically rub some on your eyes and lashes with your fingers and then remove with a wet cotton ball in a downward direction. And everything from pesky waterproof liner and mascara to ten layers of eyeshadow will come right off. I love this because the process makes me feel all Old Hollywood. Like this:

Price and where to buy: $6 for 2 oz; $10 for 4 oz. Sold at mariobadescu.com, Ulta, Nordstrom, Blue Mercury and in NYC, Henri Bendel.
