Battle of the Boots Eye Make up Removers

I have the Botanics Soothing Eye make up remover and the Boots essentials cucumber eye make up remover gel to compare today. 

 Both are inexpensive make up removers and both are manufactured by boots.   They both are 150ml, but the boots botanics line is slightly more expensive.   The botanics one costs £3.05 and the Essentials gel cost £1.42.  


Botanics
PROS
* Better packaging
and basically that's about it ladies....haha
CONS
* More expensive
* Leaves an oily film


Essentials Cucumber
PROS
* Very cheap
* Very effective without leaving an oily film 


CONS
* Lacks in packaging and looks as cheap as it is 
* Gel like substance can get a little sticky (but I still prefer slightly sticky to oily)


In my opinion, after using both for quite some time now, they both get the job done in taking off makeup.  I personally don't like the oily film that the Botanics leaves.  The cucumber gel is very basic, nothing fancy about it, but it is freshly scented and it does't leave my face feeling oily.  I always have to wash my face immediately after using the botanics one, because I'm dying to get the oils off my lids.  Now some people might like this, but I personally don't.


We always equate more expensive to mean better, but this isn't always the case.  I wouldn't say that at £3.05, the Boots remover isn't worth the price, but I did this comparison for those who are timid or concerned that the £1.42 cucumber remover wouldn't be as good.


So if you are looking to save big money! Then opt for the cucumber one vs. the Botanics remover and save that money.  Then with the money you saved, head over to the Barry M or models own and blow it all away on nail polish (this is what I'd do :p)!
