    Thank you! I just added the Farmacy to my Sephora cart!

  2. @Mi_Chelle1968 on March 6, 2025 at 3:06 pm

    Very helpful! I put the farmacy in Sephora cart!

  3. @Teresa-K on March 6, 2025 at 3:06 pm

    Great video topic! I am looking for a new eye makeup remover and I found the information provided very helpful. Thank you.

  4. @monicapatton1405 on March 6, 2025 at 3:09 pm

    I’ve been using the Elf for years. Love it. Inexpensive, hydrating, works well, easily available if I need to run to the store for it. I don’t notice a scent. Definitely no needs for me to spend more when this works so well for me, of course everyone has their preferences so it’s great to have this video so people can get an idea of what might work for them. I don’t use waterproof makeup so I can’t speak to that, my lashes are fragile and I found waterproof to be damaging for me. Anyway, great product and this was a great video ❤

    Edit: I cannot believe a $69 makeup remover is popular 😅 wow.

  5. @angelinegiselle on March 6, 2025 at 3:09 pm

    i’ve always used a separate eye makeup remover despite not wearing waterproof mascara, and the original biphase one from sephora is hands down the best version. the only cleansing balm i’ve really liked is the sisley one but i haven’t tried many as they are not my favourite method which is an oil cleanser. tatcha camelia oil is at the top of my list. almost all others are either too dense or irritate my eyes or don’t rinse quickly or cleanly. it’s so hard to tick all boxes that i’m not even sure there’s one in second place ! the bioderma micellar water is also great to have at hand & i like the hydrating one with the blue cap for being softer & just a hair less astringent than the pink one.

  6. @nickimontie on March 6, 2025 at 3:11 pm

    I love the Heimish All Clean Balm, but my guilty Pleasure is Shiseido Complete Cleansing Microfoam. The lather is so luxurious! It’s my second cleanse if I need it.

  7. @TrishEckert-tf5cg on March 6, 2025 at 3:12 pm

    The Guerlain Eye Makeup remover is excellent and doesn’t require heavy rubbing.

  8. @stillsheryl776 on March 6, 2025 at 3:13 pm

    I must be the only person on this planet that hates cleansing balms. And I’ve tried many—from Elemis to Elf. They irritate my skin and forget about taking off eye makeup! Burns my eyes and leaves me very blurry eyed. Nope. What I have found are Beekman 1802 cleansing wipes. These are amazing and really leave my skin feeling clean and not irritated. I follow up with my regular cleanser. I keep these on auto delivery from QVC. I never want to be without.

  9. @mariabarradas4235 on March 6, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    I have the ELF one, only $19 here in canada and takes everything of, I do not use make up every day so this lasts and it’s cruelty free witch is very important to me, so far I am happy with my ELF product.

  10. @gabriela231 on March 6, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    Farmacy green clean I love. I got it as a small sample with products I bought small. Once I tried it and didn’t try anything else else. I have one in each of my home and at my job. I will never try anything else. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  11. @marionallen2222 on March 6, 2025 at 3:18 pm

    I just found the best one… Lumify makes an excellent eye make up remover miscellar water!!! It too off my YSL Lash Clash like it was never there one swipe!!!! 😱😱😱 it’s so good!!!! And did not burn my eyes!!! they make a lash serum I got to try too and an eye cream lol 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 love my Bioderma sensibio but it burns my eyes Lumify was exactly what I needed!!! Highly recommend and of course the eye drops and Haruharu Wonder oil cleanser I use with when I wear make up excellent then Aveeno daily moisturizing face wash

  12. @jeannebenoot9947 on March 6, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    I tried Farmacy, I did not care for it…made my eyes blurry…I will try one of the others 🙂

  13. @allycat91974 on March 6, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    2 new things I’ve tried based on recs from Lisa J and Katy are the LaRoche Posay cleansing oil and Bioderma – Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water. Both very good on dry sensitive skin and removes makeup well

  14. @jennifermajor5013 on March 6, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    This. Is. Hysterical. So I watch your videos in the morning while applying the face or in the bath at night. I legit use the Farmacy Green Clean daily. I have opened my eyes while it’s on my face to see a product you’re talking about. It happened again tonight. I also use sunscreen and waterproof mascara and I can get this twice a year at the Sephora sale. ❤🎉 Adore you!!!

  15. @annenewcomer6626 on March 6, 2025 at 3:22 pm

    Stephanie, good video. I love the Farmacy Green Clean. I’ve tried others including the original Elemis (I hated the scent). I will just stick with the Farmacy even though it is a little pricey.

  16. @nataliek3717 on March 6, 2025 at 3:24 pm

    I will stay with my Neutrogena oil free eye make up remover and Ponds for my face then I wash with Cetaphil face wash!!! Cheapeat and easiest way to go!!!

  17. @aliciametters2025 on March 6, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    I’m with on Elemis! It really does not remove makeup well at all!👍🏾

  18. @glendamccurdy6677 on March 6, 2025 at 3:27 pm

    Thanks Stephanie, that was great ❤ My all time favourite is erborian centella cleansing balm…so soft…not waxy and great for sensitive skin ❤

  19. @barbarapirpinias1916 on March 6, 2025 at 3:28 pm

    Thank you for another wonderful video Stephanie. Wanted to let you know too, the Farmacy Green Clean is available on Cult Beauty in the 200ml jumbo size (normally biggest size is the 100ml). And they’re having a 20% off sale at the moment 🫶

  20. @sewitseams5632 on March 6, 2025 at 3:30 pm

    I like Physicians Formula matcha cleansing balm, it breaks down my most water resistant sunscreens. Without it, I always get acne from mineral sunscreens.

  21. @sayuriisme9728 on March 6, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    This is a GREAT video Stephanie!

  22. @Mommaslew on March 6, 2025 at 3:32 pm

  24. @GroovyCatMom on March 6, 2025 at 3:33 pm

    I love the Kopari Coconut Melt. The ELF one was nice, but it burned my eyes. I also use beneFit They’re Real Remover for mascara mishaps during application.

  25. @ElizabethM824 on March 6, 2025 at 3:34 pm

    Thanks for the info. I’m going to give the Heimish balm a try. The Farmacy green clean did sting my eyes but not as bad as the Elemis. All the Elemis products seem to irritate my eyes. I do use micellar water at times and I like the Simple brand. It doesn’t sting my eyes and does remove all my eye makeup. But I agree, that can be rough on your lashes.

  26. @ABOVETHECLOUDS007 on March 6, 2025 at 3:34 pm

    🙄🙄NOTE I haven’t yet seen this video
    Ok when I try to take my Mascara off I’m gouging my eyes NOT ONE THING TAKE IT OFF IN ONE WIPE I tried several products to the point I’m rubbing and rubbing with Vaseline take a good 20 mins to get eye makeup off why can’t a company make a product where two swipes on the eye and the makeup is goneeeeeee, 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️NO wipes NO liquid solution works I’ve tried WHY IS THIS
    Anyone help
    Now on to the video
    Thanks

  27. @GinaL514 on March 6, 2025 at 3:36 pm

    The best oil cleanser is Kose Softymo. It does everything, i cant find one negative thing about it. I try others but always need the softymo.

  28. @clbloyd on March 6, 2025 at 3:39 pm

    Heimish and Beauty of Joseon are both on sale on Amazon right now. Thanks for the video!

  29. @lurenawalters6865 on March 6, 2025 at 3:39 pm

    Good topic for a video. Thx 😊

  30. @lorainemcgillivray77 on March 6, 2025 at 3:39 pm

    Hi Stephanie I have tried most of the products recommended here, but for waterproof mascara (clio kill cover is extremely budgeproof😂) my hands down recommended product is the Bioderma biphase eye makeup remover (not the misceller water which I use for other things). It is AMAZING and IMO better than the viral Lancome expensive one (which has fragrance btw and I don’t want fragrance in my eye products). Here in the UK it’s very affordable and often on offer for around £10.
    I prefer the beauty of Josean ginseng cleansing oil to the balm as it rinses off better and it’s an affordable option for the DHC also. Best wishes x

  31. @julieligon8177 on March 6, 2025 at 3:41 pm

    Thank you, Stephanie. This video was very helpful! Thanks for all the time & effort you put into your videos.

  32. @CFW1 on March 6, 2025 at 3:41 pm

    Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, I am allergic/sensitive to coconut (anything related to it and it’s derivatives). All of these products either have coconut, coconut oil, coconut alcohol or it’s derivatives. It makes it very difficult for me to find skin care and make up products that are free of them. However, I do find them.

  33. @ceciliasoderman3316 on March 6, 2025 at 3:42 pm

    I have the Clinique and I can’t wait for it to be ended. I think it smells horrible.

  34. @GLAMGENX on March 6, 2025 at 3:45 pm

    I love my elf holy hydration makeup remover balm, I don’t use a ton of liquid make removers, but my fave brands to keep on hand for cleaning fallout are Clarins, Clinique, and Burt Bee miscellaneous water. After I remove makeup with balm, I do my cleanses and exfoliations .. and nighttime skin toner, serum, moisturizer, lip mask. I almost never use makeup wipes.. feel like that just smears stuff around!

  35. @ChristinePacinda on March 6, 2025 at 3:45 pm

    I’m rather shocked to realize that I’ve literally used every product you listed in this video except the Elemis, which is just a bit too pricey for me to stomach for a cleansing product. I knew I was a makeup junkie, but I guess I’m a skincare junkie too!

  36. @LenaSheppard on March 6, 2025 at 3:45 pm

    Thanks for sharing. My favs are physicians formula & good molecules. I liked elfs but it made my vision cloudy & made my eyes watery all evening.
    I appreciate you so much !

  37. @jann3443 on March 6, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    I’m late to the party. Sorry! 😔 I lovvve Farmacy Green Clean. I’ve tried all of the different versions. The Green smells like lime sherbet to me! The newest Honey Vanilla is yummy. During the holidays they had 3 minis. Blueberry was so good! Wish they’d bring it back. Nikkia Joy Cosmetics has a wonderful cleansing balm! Blueberry is one of the scents. I’ve bought it (twice) snd love it. I always use a cleansing balm to remove all makeup except on my eyes. I make my own eye makeup remover: Baby Oil, Baby Bath liquid, and water. I make it in a squeeze bottle and use it with a cotton round. Gets off everything. My daughter and I have used it for years. Big $$ savings!!

  38. @cherylthompson2368 on March 6, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    I LOVE the Heimish balm!! And like you, I do not like the scent of the Elemis balm!! I was very underwhelmed. Thanks for this video! Love you and your channel!!

  39. @PHSGirl1989 on March 6, 2025 at 3:49 pm

    Over the years I have used a lot of cleansing balms and oils. Clinique, DHC, Farmacy, and Zero. But for the past 10 years I have been using Neutrogena Seasame Body Oil with an Amazon Baby wipe (both fragrance free) and it even removes sunscreen, waterproof foundation, waterproof eyeliner and mascara. 16 Oz for $14.

  40. @kathleenklimek2965 on March 6, 2025 at 3:50 pm

    I haven’t found anything that works as well for me than the Sephora brand waterproof eye makeup remover. I usually have to buy it online now though. I hope they aren’t getting rid of it!

  41. @belindamckinney6638 on March 6, 2025 at 3:51 pm

    The Beauty of Josien cleansing oil is amazing as well

  42. @tracytKthompson on March 6, 2025 at 3:52 pm

    I use the elf, it’s fantastic! Hi Stephanie! Will you please do a video using natasha denona’s I need a warm palette? We are shade twins, with blue eyes. I would love to see how it looks on you.

  43. @jennifermears7245 on March 6, 2025 at 3:52 pm

    For those like me…I used to use a balm to remove my mascara, but after a few months I developed a cyst at my lash line. The doctor said it was from oil buildup. Perhaps because my eyelids are naturally oily, adding a balm or oil makeup remover was just too much for me. But I don’t want a repeat of that, so I use CeraVe cleanser.

  44. @ChristinePacinda on March 6, 2025 at 3:53 pm

    I only wear waterproof mascara because my skin + my watery eyes just break down every other mascara including tubing mascara. Because it’s so important to me to get everything off my face, I used a dedicated eye makeup remover as well as my cleansing balm and skin cleanser (and sometimes even the Honest Beauty wipes). Believe it or not, Wet ‘n Wild Ta-Da Eraser is my holy grail eye makeup remover. It’s super affordable and super effective. It’s never burned my eyes, but I have heard a few people say it’s burned theirs. (Micellar water just doesn’t do the job for me, though I do like to use it for cleaning my makeup brushes.)

  45. @suzannegabrielle on March 6, 2025 at 3:55 pm

    I had 2 pieces of advice about this years ago. My grandmother told me to take as much time taking off my makeup as I do putting it on. My brother-in-law is an eye surgeon who warned me about how many patients come in with problems resulting from not properly removing eye makeup. You should never wake up with left over black smudges and to be 100% sure everything is gone, your last step should be to wet a Q-tip with an eye make up remover and gently rub it along the eyelash. My makeup is generally very natural looking and I never wear waterproof mascara, but I find that even after double cleansing, I will still get black smudges on the Q-tip.

  46. @rosemartin4398 on March 6, 2025 at 3:55 pm

    Have you used the new Garnier Cleansing balm ??
    I’m very picky and have tried all the cleansing balms on the market. Farmacy and glow recipe being my top 2.
    Was thinking of trying the garnier out of curiosity!!❤

  47. @marthastewart2658 on March 6, 2025 at 3:58 pm

    Thank you great comparison you help me make a decision. I’m ordering on Amazon prime Day

  48. @cic8006 on March 6, 2025 at 4:01 pm

    Thank you for this video. I have been watching makeup videos for a couple weeks now and been practicing what I’ve learned, at the end of the day it’s very frustrating to get it all off. I feel like I’m washing my face over and over again. I will be trying out some of your suggestions!!!

  49. @karaleonor9638 on March 6, 2025 at 4:02 pm

    Hi Steph 💚 I tried both (BOJ and Heimish) they were ok, not amazing. I have combination skin and very very sensitive eyes. They both sting my eyes 😭😭 and they don’t even take everything out 😢 I guess everyone is different 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t even talk about the clinic one, it’s a big no no for me 😅
    I am trying the tir tir one and it is so soft and nice, I have never experienced that softness in any other cleansing balm. doesn’t strip the skin, my eyes love it so much! Worth to try. There is a little jar to try so you don’t buy the big one!
    Have a great weekend everyone!

  50. @irairod5160 on March 6, 2025 at 4:03 pm

    My favorite cleansing balm is "HEIMISH All Clean". It emulsifies quickly, melts everything away, and rinses off easily and completely. I follow it up with Garnier Micellar water, the "waterproof" version with the blue cap, then a cool water rinse.
