Estee Lauder Take It Away Make Up Remover
When I was re-arranging my travel toiletries pouch, I realized I need new travel sized make up remover. That’s when I rediscovered this small tube of Estee Lauder Take It Away. I got it as part of a skin care package I purchased few months back.
I am so used with oil make up remover, I kinda hesitate putting this inside my pouch- the last thing I want to see during end of a tiring day is a not effective make up remover. Previously I had Majolica Majorca Eyes Reset Gel tube, however I find it not potent enough to clean my MAC Liquidlast, or even Kiss Me Liquid Eyeliner.
Back to Estee’s make up remover… Estee Website says: Rinses away easily and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with no greasy after feel or oily residue. Lets see if this is true.
The cream is white in color and has light texture. I tried it against MAC Liquidlast, Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Eye Liner and Kiss Me Liquid Eyeliner. Light massaging on the liners for a minute or so dissolves the eyeliner. I rinsed the creamy residue with water afterwards; it doesn’t leave my skin overly greasy. And, as always, I washed my skin with mild soap. So far, back of hand test is satisfactory.
Now, I am going to try it on my face. Today I am wearing Integrate palette and Urban Decay 24/7 pencil on my eyes... to my delight, it is super easy to take my eye make up off with this remover. the cream is light and can be easily massaged in. no stinging or blurry eyes after using this. easily washed out too. i continued with my regular facial wash.
bottomline...
I do think this is a great make up remover for my travel pouch. at home, i still prefer my oil removers. i am going to repurchase it if they sell small travel sized tubes.

Kose Cosmeport Softymo Super Point Make Up Remover
I honestly dont need another make up remover... Yet I picked this one.
Softymo is another brand from Japanese cosmetic giant, Kose.
Now, I do think this bottle is full of instruction I dont understand... they are all in Japanese! And I dont understand any Japanese. So, I just followed what the illustration is doing... She's wiping her face with cotton pad! And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
This remover is like light liquid gel. it is not fragranced and feels light on skin. So I put sufficient amount of remover on my cotton pad, and continue on wiping my eye make up (I was wearing Lavshuca eye shadow, Urban Decay 24/7 pencil eye liner and Maybelline waterproof mascara). To my delight, Softymo managed to take off all my make up pretty easily. just dab your eye area a little to make it a little easier to take off the colors, then wipe. Off all the make up! Wonderful.
No oily feeling, no heaviness, not drying as well. litlle warning though, I felt it sting my eyes a little bit when I put too much cleanser on my cotton pad, and opened my eyes before I wiped the cleanser residue properly.
Next test, of course... my favorite MAC Liquidlast eye liner + eye shadows! unfortunately, it doenst work as well with liquid last. It can lift the liner up, but it is not optimal, I still need to do a bit of rubbing, patting is not enough here.
bottomline... Nice cleanser to have during light make up days, but definitely not enough for heavy duty cleansing work.
@Anonymous: I got mine thru adambeauty.com . i'm not affiliated with him, but I shop in the shop a lot. highly recommended, reasonably prices, reliable and fast shipping too.
