I love makeup, I love going the full nine yards
every morning and putting on a full face.
Between my waterproof mascara, my waterproof eyeliner,
and just baking my entire face so nothing moves,
I always have a hard time just
literally taking everything off.
So this week, I'm going to be trying
the ultimate makeup remover challenge,
which is gonna consist of me trying five different products
and rating them one, does it take it all off?
Two, how much time did that really take?
And three, any wow factors that it might have.
There's so many different makeup removers out there,
I feel like this is the time for me to at least branch out
and see, what's the ultimate makeup remover?
One of my coworkers swears by coconut oil,
so I'm gonna talk to her, figure out what her techniques are
and how she likes to use it, 'cause I'm going in blind,
and I don't know exactly how I'm going to be using it.
- So I love coconut oil, I swear by it as a product.
I use it to take off my makeup every day,
and I've been using it for years.
Start small, see if you need more, and then add more.
- I'm trying the Trader Joe's Coconut Oil.
It's been really, really hot,
so this just completely melted.
I'm gonna set the timer,
and we'll see how much this takes off.
(cheerful music)
I think I got some in my eye.
First night with coconut oil, I'm a fan,
but I don't see what the hype's all about.
If you wear heavy makeup, I don't think
you'll be able to use just the coconut oil,
'cause it leaves dirty oil on your face.
I feel like I need to cleanse after this.
I don't feel completely clean.
Coconut oil, I see you, I tried you,
don't know if I'll ever do you again.
It's the end of day two, and I talked to Annie today
about how to use the Garnier Micellar Water.
- I like it because it's cheap
and I go through a bottle pretty quickly,
so I'm not investing money in something else.
You have to shake the bottle and then wash your face
so you can wipe off the excess residue.
If you want to take off eye makeup,
you just hold the pad to your eye for five seconds,
and then it'll loosen up and you're done.
- That took a lot of my makeup off,
that took like all of my makeup off.
Definitely gets a five out of five,
taking off everything of my face, that was easy.
I didn't have to rub, I didn't have to pull.
It was like the Mulan movie,
where I'm just like (whoosh) and it was gone.
There was some hype to Micellar
that I never really knew about until today.
So far, winning factor, I give it up to the Micellar.
It's the end of day three, and I'm heading home to go try
the MakeUp Eraser makeup towel.
Jazz told me that it's fairly easy and simple to use.
- You need something off really quick, it'll get it off,
but you really need to wash your face afterwards.
I don't use it anymore because, honestly,
it wasn't the best thing to use.
- The ears are on. It's about to get serious.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
I still have these little clumps of mascara.
My face feels really dry and it feels really raw now.
Wow factor's there, the fact that
you just have to use water,
and it lasts up to a thousand washes.
I feel like I still haven't found that one makeup product
that's gonna be the end-all of makeup products,
where it takes off everything.
Until tomorrow, until I have my full face on.
We're gonna try the La Mer.
Got it at Nordstrom, it was $90.
I'm so scared to try this and find out
how much I actually really like it.
(upbeat music)
I don't have any leftover oil on my face,
so it doesn't feel heavy at all.
It just feels very clean.
It didn't take a long time and it didn't feel
like I had to drag my product all over my face.
For the wow factor, it's extra.
Of course, that's probably what I'm paying for,
this natural pearl powder, but I wanna be mad at it,
because it's $90, but it really did work
really well, and my face feels great.
If you're really gonna invest, this was a solid product.
It is the last day of the ultimate makeup remover challenge.
Here to try the last product, Goop.
I really have high hopes for this,
because this is one of Allure's
Best of Beauty award winners,
and I take these things very seriously.
Let's get into this luminous melting cleanser.
Massage it on my face.
(energetic music)
That's really cute, like looking at my face. Hi, mom.
Everything's gone, my mascara's gone, my eyeliner's gone.
My entire face is gone. I wish it was just faster.
I wish the process was faster.
For the wow factor, I love that
it's literally made with 79% organic content.
I'm honestly a big fan.
Tomorrow, when I go to work, I'm going
to calculate everything, write down the pros and cons
of everything that I liked of all the products
that I've tried this week, and we'll see.
(pop music)
I'm in the office, and I calculated all the amazing results,
and I was actually super, super surprised.
With fourth place came the MakeUp Eraser,
that I was the most curious about, and I was super surprised
because of all the crazy reviews online.
Third place actually went to coconut oil, and I totally
thought it would have either been first or second.
For second place, it was actually a shared tie between
Goop and the Garnier Micellar Water.
The Micellar had the consistency of a toner,
while the Goop by Juice Beauty was like a full-on balm,
and the prices were so different,
but literally both the products worked
and felt the exact same at the end of the day.
What came in first place was
actually the La Mer Cleansing Oil.
How quickly it broke down everything,
and how easily it took off,
and then just the overall feeling
of my face is really what stood out.
Overall, looks like La Mer kicked everyone's ass.
