Forgive me for saying that there is much more exciting products out there than Boots budget range!
Also excuse me for over looking a great budget buy product
that has been glaring me in the face for many a year now.
I use Boots Cucumber Facial Wipes to quickly remove my make-up when I come home in the evening,
after many, many, many re-buys of such wipes I finally decided to pick up
something else from the Cucumber range and give it whirl!
Some days I wear eyeshadow, some days I don't.
Same applies for eye liner but you can bet your bottom dollar that I will not leave the house
without a good few coats of mascara on both my top and bottom eye lashes.
I rely on a good eye make-up remover to remove every little scrap of mascara
without taking half on my eyelashes with it, up until now I have been using various eye oils.
Never imaging that one day I would swap it for a budget eye gel!
Boots Cucumber has a light and fresh Cucumber scent that smells delightful.
The scent does not irritate the skin nor the eye area but makes the experience more enjoyable.
The remover itself is of a gel like consistency but not thick as you might have imagined
but rather thin and runny, which means you only need a tiny amount per eye.
You wipe it over closed eyes with the aid of a cotton ball and allow it to work it's magic.
Unlike some eye make-up removers this is actually a joy to use.
I don't know about you but at the end of the day my eyes are often tired.
This gel removes every trace of eye make-up - I tested both normal and waterproof formulas
but also soothes and cools my tired eyes, in fact it almost feels like a little treat...
a treatment or soothing eye cream type of feel which I never expected.
For extra bliss I often slice up a cucumber and pop them on my eyes.
I apologise for my lengthy post but this eye gel remover is too good not to gush about haha!
And I saved the best part until last, 150ml bottle costs £1.42!! - link
Would definitely like to try this. I've been using the Boots Botanics eye makeup remover and it works like a charm - the only downside is that it is an oil-and-water product which does leave me feeling a little gross after use. As soon as it runs out I'm definitely going to try this as I generally think all Boots branded products are made to an exceptionally high standard xx

DeleteIf you're a fan of this, try the eye gel cooler/de-puffer in the same range! It's about £1.50 and I keep it in the fridge - works a treat!
ReplyDeleteI tried that about a year ago and didn't like it :(
DeleteIs this what you've been using to remove They're Real? I may have to try this! I'm almost out of my current eye make up remover :) xx
ReplyDeleteyep this is what I use for that :)
DeleteI have used a few things from this range and I love the 'freshness' of it. Fab photos!
ReplyDeleteNever considered using this before, but will definitely check this out now, especially for that price!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great buy :)

DeleteI have never seen this range, but deff will be looking for it now next time i need some make up remover!
ReplyDeletelet me know how you get on :)
DeleteI bought this a while back and I love the price and cooling gel but I wasn't so keen in the consistency of the product. I found it quite runny, I would prefer it to be thicker.
ReplyDeleteyeah it is a little runny but I quite like that about it haha...i'm an odd duck
DeleteLove this.

Deleteoohh i have this at uni but for some reason don't use it.. that'll now all change after reading this!
ReplyDeletehaha get a using missy!
DeleteI used to use the Boots sensitive range when I worked as an MUA on models skin! I think they were always surprised at what it was when they asked since it feel so lovely on.
ReplyDeleteAh that is great :) I may try the sensitive range...if it's good enough for models and all ;)
DeleteI would have never bought this without reading your post as anything with words like "essentials", "basics" or "value" is an instant off-putter for me (sound so stuck-up, I know). Maybe I need to get over my fears and give this a go!

I used to be the same but I have found that sometimes the budget option is far superior to the pricey version :)
DeleteThat sounds great, I will pick this one up ASAP! I can use some refreshment as well as a gentle eye make-up remover that won't irritate my eyes and is cheap, just like me ;) (that's a lie, I can be very irritating, LOL)
ReplyDeletehaha you are not irritating :)
DeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE this eye makeup remover gel! Been using it for a year now, and am still only on my 2nd bottle! It lasts forever and doesn't irritate at all, amazing stuff :) x
ReplyDeleteoh wow that only makes me love it more :) I feel enlightened now I have found it haha :)
DeleteI always struggle to find good eye make up removers, so this, if it's suitable for sensitive skin (do you know?) is something I will definitely pick up! x
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly is :) I have sensitive skin and it works a treat :)
DeleteOoh, thank you! I'll pick it up next time I'm in Boots x
DeleteI've been eyeing this up since working at Boots and I thank god for your review. Definitely going to pick some up tomorrow :) xx
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we get this here? Hmm :)
