Gatineau - Floracil

Gatineau – Floracil

This is not a cheap eye make up remover by any stretch of the imagination, coming in at roughly £25 for the 400ml size that I have but my goodness is it incredible. In one word WOW; on first appearance a bright blue fluid is quite daunting to be putting anywhere near my very sensitive tired eyes but have faith people it is really worth it.

Packaging is slightly flimsy and I worry that if I dropped it (I am so clumsy) it would split. A simple white lid sits upon the 1920’s fan/rectangle shaped clear bottle; text is in a very easy to read font in white which is fine for me but I can imagine it can be hard to read the less blue fluid is behind it.

To use I simply poured a small amount onto a cotton wool pad and with a little pressure I pushed the pad onto my eyelid and left it to absorb for 10 – 15 seconds. I was amazed when I lifted the pad off there was a perfect imprint of my lashes, liner and shadow (in the picture below). I then reversed the pad and repeated the same once more to soak off any large makeup residue; I then did a final swipe to remove the last little bits of makeup. I have never used a makeup remover that I have not had to drag my eyes and pull at the sensitive tender skin, Gatineau is in a whole new league it was almost like magic with how simple and quick it was to remove my stubborn make up.

So far I have used it to remove; Collection it does it all mascara (very stubborn to remove normally), Laura Geller styleLASH intense mascara, Barry M Kohl eyeliner and Laura Geller INKcredible eyeliner plus the eye shadows I was wearing at the time. All of the products I have tried it with have been removed effortlessly and in just a few swipes. I highly recommend this product to any eye makeup wearer you won’t be sorry. 

Bye for now
