Ever Bilena Advance Makeup Remover REVIEW

I ran out of makeup remover so I went to the mall to buy another one and I also want to buy lip liner from Ever Bilena that was suggested by my favorite pinay guru. I was walking around at the makeup section then Ever Bilena Advance Makeup Remover caught my eye instantly because it looks exactly the same with Maybelline Makeup Remover so I thought it's its dupe. I had only used one brand of makeup remover since I started using makeup which is Maybelline so I thought why wouldn't I give it a try with a local brand. 

If you would really look at it, the Ever Bilena has darker blue color than the Maybelline.
EB: 80ml for 95.00php and Maybelline: 40ml for 99.00php. 

I planned to use this makeup remover when I'll be using my L'oreal Collagen Waterproof Mascara. This mascara was just an OK mascara for me because it's sooooo sooooo sooooo soooooo DIFFICULT TO REMOVE which is not very nice anymore and I feel like I have 10 pairs of falsies on my eyes whenever I am wearing it. With my very Asian lashes (going straight down), they will still look dramatic that never happened with all the mascaras I've tried. 

The day before yesterday was my grandma's birthday so I thought it would be the best time to wear the mascara and to test out my new makeup remover. I was so excited to remove my makeup so I could already post a blog about it. I put 3-4 drops into the cotton ball and as soon as I swiped it on my closed right eye (detailed para dramatic..lol) IT STINGS!!!! I thought I was going blind that night. I swear!!! It's so ouchy! My eye turned red, not just a normal reddish eye but around my Iris was so veiny red (if that makes sense). It was my first time to experience that. I immediately washed it and with my panic, I pressed it with a face towel. It hurts to the highest level. I'm not exaggerating, I swear, it hurts!!!!!!!! I also noticed, it didn't remove my mascara. It just hurt my eye, that's it. So, let's see what it claims.... **cricket** nothing. Of course, it's a makeup remover so it would claim to remove all your makeup but it was not indicated that it would remove all water proof makeup unlike the Maybelline. Fine, it didn't promise to remove waterproof makeups but why would you buy makeup remover if you could remove it with water + soap + toner. 

I ended up removing my makeup with petroleum jelly to be sure my eye wouldn't hurt again. I was not able to take a picture of my eye last night because I feel traumatized with what I experienced with this crap. If you are wondering why do I still buy makeup remover if I have petroleum jelly, it's because I use makeup remover with the q-tip to remove liner or mascara that were not removed after all my rituals at night :)) (you know what I mean and who haven't done that specially when you're tired and very sleepy). If I use petroleum jelly, I will wash my face all over again.

I tried it with the back of my hand earlier this morning to prove if it is effective. I know skin is incomparable to lashes because it's easier to remove with the skin than with the lashes but I wouldn't sacrifice my vision/eyesight for this blog. 

need to shake while pouring because oil and h2o
separate immediately. Can you see the bubbles?

3 rubs of  brown water-proof mascara

twice rubbed the cotton ball with
Ever Bilena Makeup Remover

6x rub (with effort) the cotton ball with
Ever Bilena Makeup Remover

 If it didn't remove the mascara in the back of my hand, what more with the lashes thinking that it should be carefully applied because it will sting your eyes.

Pro:

cheap (price)
-you can save 100+% compared to Maybelline Makeup Remover 40ml

Cons:

cheap (quality)

stings my eye

ineffective

after shaking, oil and water separate immediately
-need to shake while pouring into the cotton pad.

Verdict:

If I could only return this product, I will. But I have no choice but to keep this.
I can't use this on my face too because it's very oily so I might just use this to remove makeup on my neck.
Whatever!! I think I just bought a junk for 95.00php

Will I repurchase it?

NO NO NO
