Energie de Vie The Cleansing Oil
Gotta love the fresh, floral-herbal scent of this one! This is a good and effective cleansing oil; it removes every trace of makeup from the skin including long-wear and waterproof product. It may require a little more time to dissolve waterproof mascara but for everything else, it gets rid of everything in a flash once you add water. It doesn't emulsify as well as my other cleansing oils, though, but it still gets the job done just as effectively. No stinging, no irritation, no stripping, only a clean, adequately moisturized skin afterwards!

Definitely!

Lancôme
Drama Liqui-Pencil Longwear Eyeliner
It's true that it has a color intensity of a liquid liner and an ease of application of a pencil. The texture feels like a mix of liquid-gel-pencil to me so it glides on smoothly without skipping. The formula sets quickly and stays put on the lash line (and tightline) without transferring or smudging. However, it doesn't have any lasting power on the waterline even after I run a Q-tip along the line first. It would flake within an hour. It also doesn't layer well there as the top layer would move the underneath layer resulting in a patchy line.

Afraid not!

Beautyblender
Liquid Blendercleanser
In addition to the Blendercleanser Solid, I have also been using this liquid version interchangeably. This is an excellent Beautyblender as well as makeup brush cleanser as it dissolves the makeup gunk (old or new) from the sponge/bristles quickly and effectively. It lathers well and does not dry out the sponge or brush hair over time. In fact, it conditions them and keep them soft afterwards. It has a distinct scent to it that I wasn't too crazy about in the beginning but now I've become used to it and it hardly bothers me anymore.

I’ve been considering picking up a BB so the cleanser might be nice cause I need a new brush cleaner too!
I think they make a set of the BB and cleanser for a few dollars (or more) cheaper. I’d totally grab that one!
I still need to find the perfect liner for the waterline. What is your favorite?

I’m still using my old brush soap. There’s a huge dent in the middle now. Once I’m done with that, I’ll be buying the Blendercleanser Solid because I’ve been reading lots of good things about it! But that might be another year to go. LOL
LOL. I go through these fast! Another good one is by Sephora! It actually smells a lot nicer than the Beautyblender one. :)
