00:00 Hey guys, I'm doing a review on the Lancome Bifacial Double Action Eye Makeup Remover
00:06 and it's almost out. Well, I'm about, I'm about a third left.
00:13 And I got this from my Glux box a couple months ago.
00:17 Regularly it costs $35 in Canada and then $27 in the US.
00:22 And if you're in Australia or UK, probably even more than that.
00:26 Now on the website they say that it lifts off all types of eye makeup including waterproof
00:31 and that it has a bi-phase formula that leaves the eye area perfectly clean.
00:37 I'm just reading it down here, that's why.
00:39 They say that the lipid phase lifts off eye makeup while the water phase contains a special emollients
00:44 to refresh and condition skin without a greasy residue.
00:47 So, that's why once it'll settle you'll see that it will have two kind of different layers.
00:53 And even now, if you look at it closely, I'm not sure if it'll focus in on that.
00:58 It kind of just looks like a cloudy material but if you actually look closely you can see
01:03 there's little like bubbles in it.
01:05 So, I will set it like this for a while so you can actually see the separation between it.
01:09 So, yes, it does have that water layer and then the oily lipid layer.
01:13 So, you do have to shake it or at least invert it before you use it.
01:18 Usually I just go and then I just squirt it out.
01:22 At first I wasn't sure how that oily layer would react with my skin since I am very acne prone.
01:27 But I mean you're just putting it around your eyes, you're not washing your whole face with it.
01:31 You do notice that it has a little bit of oiliness, it doesn't really leave a heavy residue.
01:35 But anything that there is you'll just wash your face after and that'll easily come off.
01:39 And I haven't seen my face or any eye around my eye area break out in acne or anything.
01:44 So, that's good.
01:45 And as they say it does work on waterproof mascara.
01:49 It works really well with kind of any eye shadow, any eye makeup.
01:53 You just kind of do one swipe and it comes off.
01:55 With the waterproof mascara because that's kind of the most of the mascaras I use that are waterproof.
02:00 You have to work a little bit harder, you have to do a couple of swipes over your eye.
02:04 But no, it actually, it comes off.
02:06 It leaves a tiny little, very little bit.
02:10 I don't notice that the time but then when I wake up the next morning I do have a little bit of product underneath my eye.
02:15 But then I just do that again in the morning and then it's completely gone.
02:18 So, I did a little experiment.
02:20 I put some mascara on my hands, some waterproof mascara.
02:24 I used the Colossal Volume Express Waterproof.
02:27 That's kind of the one that I'm using at the moment.
02:30 And I'm going to test this.
02:33 And there we go.
02:34 Now you can see from here down that's kind of one layer and then here up here the bubbles and then this little, yeah.
02:43 So, you can see there.
02:46 So, I'm going to test this one, how this works compared to my Quo One that I, like I swear by this one.
02:52 I love this one so much.
02:54 And this also has the double layer.
02:56 You can't see it as well.
02:57 There we go.
02:58 So, here and here.
02:59 So, we're going to use this one first.
03:01 Now, before I start with the demo, I will say about the packaging.
03:04 It actually has a child protective cap on it.
03:09 So, you can just keep turning and turning and it's not going to open.
03:14 I'm just going to invert this twice.
03:16 You actually have to push down and then it opens.
03:20 The first few times, I mean, it was like kind of a pain.
03:23 But now I don't even think about it.
03:24 I just automatically reach for it.
03:25 I just go like this and then squeeze it off.
03:28 And so, it has just a little hole on it which is good.
03:32 Not too much pours out.
03:34 And actually the way it's configured is that really not a lot.
03:38 You only get a few drips out.
03:40 And the bottle is pretty tough.
03:42 And you could squeeze it if you wanted to.
03:44 But it's nice that if you would be able to squeeze it easier,
03:47 probably way too much product would come out.
03:49 So, I just have a little bit on it because that's all you really need.
03:53 And we'll go with, let's see, one swipe.
03:58 And it already got a lot off which is nice.
04:01 And then I'll just kind of do the same side.
04:04 And then we'll do two swipes.
04:07 Oh, almost all gone.
04:08 And I'll just flip it over and we'll get that in three.
04:14 There we go.
04:15 So, pretty much three swipes.
04:16 I mean there's a little bit here but that's on a weird part of my hand.
04:19 So, pretty much three swipes to get the waterproof mascara off.
04:23 And I gave it some time to dry as well which is really good.
04:26 I'm very pleased.
04:27 Now we're going to compare it to the Quo which I love as well.
04:31 So, we're just going to--a couple drops of that as well.
04:37 And same idea, one swipe, two swipes.
04:44 Oh, that was good.
04:47 Three swipes, four swipes.
04:51 So, it got off in four swipes pretty much.
04:53 So, as you can see, this one, the Lancome one is a little bit better which is good.
05:00 I have done a lot of reviews on eye makeup remover
05:03 and I hadn't found one that removes makeup better than this.
05:07 Mind you, I was looking at cheaper ones.
05:09 This is, I think, $12.00 on sale.
05:12 You can get it for $10.00 and I've seen it for $8.00.
05:15 So, I stocked up when it was $8.00 on sale versus this one is $27.00 or $35.00.
05:20 But you only need a little bit.
05:22 As you can see, I still have about a third left.
05:25 And I got this in my June Luxe box.
05:27 It kind of came to end of June, like the 20th or something.
05:30 So, I've been pretty much using it since I got it.
05:33 So, I use it all of, you know, about week in June, I guess,
05:37 and then all of July and now end of August.
05:40 So, I got to say that it's lasted about two months and I still have this left.
05:44 So, there are maybe a couple of days where I didn't use it.
05:47 But definitely, I'd say I'll get through about two, maybe two and a half months with this bottle.
05:53 So, then when you think about the price, it's not that bad.
05:57 You really only need a little bit.
05:58 And as you saw when I poured it, only a couple of drops came out at a time.
06:01 So, it's good packaging that you're not going to waste it, to waste the already expensive product.
06:06 But it's true, you don't need to have a lot.
06:09 Some of the other ones, the cheaper ones, and not necessarily this one because this is still pretty good,
06:14 but other ones where you need to have a whole bottle of product,
06:17 you have to almost saturate the whole like little puff for it to come off this.
06:21 I basically just make a little like dime-sized spot in the middle.
06:26 And that's enough to take off for both eyes.
06:29 Maybe if I did use more, I wouldn't have to use it the next morning.
06:32 But, you know, I don't mind doing that.
06:34 So, overall, I recommend this.
06:37 It works amazingly well.
06:39 This is the best eye makeup remover I have yet to find.
06:42 I don't quite like that it's so expensive.
06:45 But I mean, that's what you get, especially when you're paying for Lancome.
06:49 I think it is worth the price, especially if you wear waterproof mascara.
06:52 If you don't, then you may not need something like so heavy-duty.
06:55 Then, you know, I'd say save your money.
06:58 But if you wear waterproof mascara or even if you want to get a bottle for those nights
07:02 where you go out and put a lot of eye makeup on and then you want to come home
07:05 and not have to like spend a long time taking all your makeup off, your eye makeup off,
07:09 then I'd say even invest in a bottle like this.
07:12 And I mean, it's not going to go bad.
07:13 You can keep it in your like cabinet in your bathroom if it's nicely sealed.
07:17 It'll last a while.
07:19 So, with me, when I use this up, I will repurchase it,
07:23 even though it's so expensive.
07:25 But I'll get it and I'll kind of go back and forth between this one.
07:29 I mean, $8, you can't really--it's hard to beat that.
07:33 And they are--they're comparable.
07:35 The Lancome one is better, but I mean, the Quo one, it's pretty close,
07:41 and it's about a third of the price.
07:43 So I will purchase this again, but I won't use it as my regular eye makeup remover.
07:49 I'll kind of just save it on those kind of days when I use a lot of mascara
07:54 and then if I go back to using eyeliner, which I am in this video,
07:57 but kind of sometime on a daily basis in the summer I haven't been using eyeliner.
08:01 So again, I don't have that much to take off my eyes.
08:04 But since I do use waterproof mascara, I--yeah, I think this is a good product.
08:09 It's expensive, but it's worth the money in my opinion,
08:12 and it doesn't sting your eyes or anything.
08:15 And yeah, overall it's just a really good product, and I recommend it.
08:19 So let me know if you have tried this and what your thoughts are,
08:23 or if you want to try it or if you hate it,
08:25 or if you have a waterproof eye makeup remover that you think works better than this,
08:29 then let me know, providing that it's cheaper.
08:32 And I'll definitely check it out and do a review on it.
08:34 But yeah, I enjoy this.
08:36 So thank you guys so much for watching, and I will talk to you guys later.
08:39 Bye.
