I'm a BIG Clinique fan so when I heard all these good things about their cleansing balm I got very excited... My Shu Uemura samples had just run out and I wanted to try something different.
The cleansing balm is really simple to use. You basically massage it on to a damp face and it 'melts' away all your makeup, including eye makeup. Now, the first few times I used it my eyes stung a bit... I brushed it off, assuming that they just needed to adjust to a new product.
Then last night I decided to use it because I had been wearing a lot of mascara and needed something strong to take it off. BIG MISTAKE. My eyes became soooo red and sore I couldn't even blink! To be fair my eyes are a bit sensitive and sting when I get shampoo or soap on them (and my hayfever gets really bad this time of year), but this was like nothing I had experienced before. It actually felt like someone had poured acid into my eyes :- |
About 50 cold rinses later my eyes felt a bit better... but I'm confused as to why my eyes reacted so badly to it :-S Has anyone else ever had a bad reaction to a beauty product?
I'm on the look out for another cleanser/makeup remover - one that's more gentle and keeps my skin moisturised.... so suggestions would be great :- )
