Review of great product

Review post

Since cancer, I have become more careful about what is contained in products I use. Not obsessively, but where there is a (not ridiculously expensive) good option, I do use it.

Skincare is one area I'm careful about. Why would you want to smear onto your porous skin, chemicals that are known carcinogens? Why? There are some nice products out there, which don't contain those noxious chemicals. Use those instead - why not? But I've found it hard to find an eye make-up remover that fits my needs.

I don't ask much from eye make-up remover. I ask that it

  • removes eye make-up easily and completely (reasonable, huh?)
  • doesn't make your eyes sting
  • isn't greasy.

Anything else is a bonus. That would seem simple enough, but I've bought some products that haven't met those criteria. Then I'm so flipping frugal, that I insist on using up the bottle, even though I hate it, and it takes me ages to do so, since I don't wear make-up every day.

When I saw the Amie range reviewed on a blog, it looked so good that I contacted Amie, and asked for a couple of samples.

                 
                      The first is a facial wash.

                       It's lovely. 

                       Smells flowery, is smooth, is soft. 

                       But I'll save my superlatives for the next one.





             Amie's eye make-up remover.

             Remember my three criteria? Well, this product

              -  is effective
              -  doesn't make my eyes sting
              -  isn't greasy AT ALL.




I love it. It smells delicious. I enjoy using it. If it could have walked me down the aisle, opened a joint account with me, and given me children, I might have married it (though given my previous post, I might revisit that last matrimonial obligation).

You can buy Amie products online here.

This was a review post. I received one Morning Clear Purifying Facial Wash, value £4.95, and one Bright Eyes Make Up Remover, value £4.75. The opinions are entirely my own.

  1. That's an interesting review, sounds like a product to try and such a great price too - I'll hop over to the link for a browse.

  2. I don't understand why chemicals have to be in our cosmetics or why it is allowed to have them there. It's a strange world. The above sounds like a good option and as Jay said, at a very reasonable price, too.

  3. It is difficult to get an eye make-up remover that doesn't leave you walking around with a film of something over your eyeballs isn't it? I might try these next time I'm in the UK.
