Here they are sitting nicely together. They look pretty similar and both work on the same principle - you shake the product to create an emulsion, then squeeze out onto a makeup or cotton pad and wipe over your eyelids, lashes and lips to remove make-up.
L-R:
L'Oreal Gentle Make-Up Remover for Eyes & Lips
Maybelline Express Care Eye & Lip Makeup Remover
So what do I like about both of these?
- Both are 2 in 1 products combining makeup remover oil and cleansing water
- Both product formulas feel gentle on my eyes and don't sting
- Neither leaves any greasy residue on my lids or in my eyes
- Both effectively remove waterproof eye make-up and long wearing lip products
- Both are suitable for contact lens wearers
Why do I prefer Maybelline's Express Care Eye & Lip Makeup Remover?
For me it's all about the packaging: Maybelline's bottle design is superior because it has a screw-top lid and does not leak! This always drove me mad about L'Oreal's remover, as the flip-top lid has a tendency to leak and dribble everywhere and was a nightmare when travelling. I had to place it in a ziplock bag and guaranteed it would have leaked in there!
Maybelline's remover also provides slightly more bang for your buck although this wasn't a real deal-breaker for me. Maybelline costs around $8.95AUD per 90ml, compared to L'Oreal which costs $12.99AUD per 125ml. (For some silly reason known only to me I decided to calculate cost per ml, and Maybelline comes out slightly ahead at 9.9cents per ml, compared to L'Oreal's 10.4cents per ml).
It seems Maybelline has more than one product scarily similar than L'Oreal and that's not surprising. It's been brought to my attention and I've confirmed it here that Maybelline NY is one of the brands administered by the L'Oreal group.
That's all for now.
Vita :)
