I just keep on yakking and yakking on how I love applying makeup and how makeup makes the world a better place, because for one, you can actually be Marimar’s soulmate because of the same fuschia lip color you’re wearing, but how about removing them?

Of course, it is muy importante , that by the end of the day, for all traces of makeup to be gone from your face because makeup is supposed to stay on while you’re awake, and sleeping in it would only cause your skin to absorb all the makeup plus all the dirt and oil it accumulated while you wore it and well, you get the picture. The ugly picture! I can’t, I can’t, I can’t!

Here comes L’Oreal Gentle Lip and Eye Make-Up Remover. I’ve had this with me for ages because after my night outs, I just can’t sleep without removing my eye and lip makeup, aside from the face makeup that I use Cetaphil to remove with.

What I do is I get a cotton ball and get some eye makeup remover and gently swipe away eye makeup from my eyes. The consistency is a liquid , light oil-like liquid that effectively gets rid of all my eye makeup, including eyeliner. It is very important to remove makeup in the eye area in a very gentle manner - do not tug, because the eye area is the most sensitive part of the face, and gets wrinkles easily! We don’t wanna be instant grandmas! Noo!!!

With the lips, I make sure that all traces of lipstick are gone as I swipe the cotton ball ( or pad, which is better ), because I want my lips all clean, and slathered with petroleum jelly or lip treatment because bedtime’s lip treatment time!

Well, let me just stress the importance of removing makeup. Makeup’s a joy to have as it makes you really beautiful but it can be a total pain when your skin starts breaking out because you don’t remove it!
