  6. cynthia i do not use it to remove eye makeups. i use baby oil for that.

    i tested it after your request. haha!
    well, it does sting. so it is better to use on face, forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck.

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
