Hey Guys,
Today's post is all about a make up remover that I purchased in the boxing day sales, as most of you know I am obsessed with Clinique's Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm (Click here for the full review) and haven't really tried many other make up removers this past year. So I thought let's give Urban Decay's Meltdown Make up Remover - Cleansing Oil stick a go! I purchased this from their website for £14, normal retail price is £20. I was excited to give this ago with their claims to remove even the most stubborn waterproof make up, with their cleansing oil stick being not just powerful by gentle on your skin with nourishing & hydrating ingredients. The cleansing stick is a three phased oil based remover that transforms from a balm to liquid oil to microfoam, which gently dissolves even the must stubborn of make up. On the website it states that it is safe to use on eye's but that everyone's skin is different. I used this for the first time on a fairly normal everyday make up look, nothing to stubborn or waterproof, just a gentle eye look with full face of natural glam. It removed my foundation and face make up with ease and without trouble. However when it came to my eye make up, it instantly caused irritation, now am very gentle when removing eye make up as I have sensitive skin. Within seconds my eyes started to sting and I really didn't get a large amount in the eye. I cant describe how badly this made my eye sting, I tried to rinse it all off immediately with water, I did this several times, my eyes where extremely blood shut & kept streaming for nearly a hour after. I checked back to the mirror after a few hours after using the cleansing stick, my eyes where still read, streaming and even had discharge. My eyelids where red raw and even had a small amount of blood. The next day my eyes where extremely sore and irritated. They where not as blood shot but still looked irritated. The eyelid was sore, had small scabs and felt extremely tight. So my final thoughts on Urban Decay's Cleansing Oil Stick, I will not be using this product again, even on my skin. It removed my face make up fairly well, my eye make up still had mascara left over. My face didn't feel nourished or hydrated if anything it was quite drying yet greasy at the same time! However the effects it had on my eye are not worth the hassle of the product. I am day 3 after use and my eyes are still irritated and my eyelids are, I would even go as far as saying, painful! I give this product a 1/10 just for the fact it removed my facial make up. I will attach the photo of my eyelids after use down below! Until Next Time,

What a disappointment... do not expect this from high end brands like Urban Decay. I think I'll stick to their makeup.
