THE MAKEUP ERASER – REVIEW

Hello dolls!

Do you remember the video that I posted on Instagram using the Makeup Eraser??In recent months a lot of you guys asked me about it, and after presenting it it to you in my October favorites I am here today to provide a comprehensive review and give you my opinions about!

For those not familiar to this object, this is a kind of magic cloth made of a special polyester that – with the addition of water – can completely remove makeup. No kidding: say goodbye to cotton pads, wipes, milk cleansers, cleansing balms and coconut oil! With Makeup Eraser?you just need some lukewarm water – et voil? – you’re done.

The way the Makeup Eraser acts is unknown to all: the product is certified to contain no chemicals – so it is the almost inexplicable the way it can remove makup so efficiently using only water. Is that advanced technology? Some physics we never heard of? Witchcraft? We don’t know it, but we do know is that this pink stuff WORKS! Honestly I was a bit ‘skeptical at first, but after trying it (and here you cansee it in action on my face) I was amazed by the way this cloth is able to remove makeup with such ease.

The?Makeup Eraser?comes in a cute package – which recalls an actual eraser which I made the?leitmotiv?of these photos- and it’s fuchsia – my favorite color as you know. It is also available in pale blue and, for Halloween, it also came out a black version, but frankly I prefer a lighter color so you can see the makeup residues on it before washing. The cost is relatively low – I’ve paid $ 20 at?Sephora?and on the official website www.makeuperaser.com has a retail price of $ 19.97.

The cloth has two sides that look the same, but at a second glance you will find that the bristles are longer on one side: this is because, in theory, one of the two sides should remove makeup while the opposite should lightly exfoliate the skin but honestly I have not found noticeable differences between the two.

The texture is spongy and incredibly soft which means is not even minimally abrasive to the skin, so there’s no risk for scratching, redness or other unwanted side effects. The use is very simple – you dip into lukewarm water and rub it on your face until complete removing your makeup – and when it is dirty you can safely throw it in the washing machine – it doesn’t shed color (I tested it!) and it resists up to 1000 washings.

Il modo in cui agisce il Makeup Eraser ? sconosciuto a tutti: il prodotto ? certificato senza agenti chimici presenti all?interno, e quindi ? quasi inspiegabile la maniera in cui possa struccare il viso in maniera cos? efficiente con il solo ausilio dell?acqua. Tecnologia avanzatissima? Fisica a noi sconosciuta? Stregoneria? Non ci ? dato sapere. Quel che sappiamo ? che, fosse pure per opera divina, questo pannetto rosa FUNZIONA! Sinceramente ero un po? scettica all?inizio, ma dopo averlo provato (e qui potete vederlo in azione sul mio viso) mi ha sconcertato la facilit? e la praticit? con cui questo cloth riesca a levare il trucco in pochi gesti.?

You know what I love about the news and innovations in beauty, and sincerely believe this is the greatest invention since the Beauty Blender. Here is what are the pros derivatives of its use:

Of course there are also come cons – or rather some drawbacks – and I want to point them out before you rush on the website and start filling the cart.

First of all, I have tremendous difficulties to remove the mascara – which never seems to want to go away completely – the eyeliner and the long-lasting items. Surely even with traditional systems I have some hard times at cleaning them off, but I want to emphasize this thing because the claim of the product says it efficiently removes waterproof makeup, but I’m not quite sure on that.

I usually like to finish with a cotton pad soaked in micellar water to completely eliminate the last traces of makeup, although I still think sit’s a good deal since I usually use up to 67 pads.

To give you a better idea, I have put on my arm some of the products we usually use the most, and then removed them with the Makeup Eraser.

From left to right, you can see: mascara, lipstick, blush, very pigmented eye shadow, highlighter, less pigmented eye shadow, eyebrow pencil, eye pencil, eyeshadow creamy base, long lasting cream eye shadow and?waterproof eyeliner.?As you can see from the pictures, the cloth removes a good 90% of makeup, leaving only a faint trace of the lipstick, while there are some obvious residues of the long-lasting eyeshadow (for those interested, it’s the L’Or?al Color Riche in the color?”Lovely Lilas”) and pencil and eyeliner that – I have to admit – are the two products which I find the hardest to get rid of (respectively the “Perversion”?by Urban Decay and the “H20”?from Wet ‘N’ Wild).?The results, however, are definitely satisfying.

The second problem I found is logistics use of the cloth itself: the second time that you use it, you’ll find yourself with a dirty cloth from the previous demaquillage – which is kinda gross. I find it impractical to use it the way it is, and I would have definitely preferred a package with 5 micro-cloths that you can use and take a new one the next time without worrying about having to wash immediately the current one or – even worse – leave it dirty.

My advice is to only use a corner to remove make-up until it is completely dirty, so you do not have to use all the towel and constantly wash it – so you can use it more and for a longer time – but even so I must say that this is a downside.

Besides this, I have no other critic for this product: it is effective, fun, innovative, and always useful – especially at night when you are tired and you want to remove the makeup as quickly as you can or – as I said before – when you travel. I very much often use this to wipe off traces of makeup when I do swatches for the blog, and I think also makeup artists could easily take off or clean their hands when they are working. Surely it is an accessory that comes in handy to have around, and you’ll find yourself using it more often than what you might expect.

Here?is the link to my video if you want to see it in action, and as always I am waiting for your opionions: what do you think of this product? Does it intrigue you? Have you already tried it? Let me know in the comments below!

Stay beautiful!
