I got hooked on Paula Begoun's (www.cosmeticscop.com) gentle touch makeup remover because it is fragrance & color free, less expensive, more product.

My mom told me when I was in my 20's and bemoaning my inability to tan to be patient because when I was in my 30's all my tanning friends would have alligator skin. She was right; it is sad. I still don't like my pearly white skin but I do like looking much younger than my years! No sun on my face (w/o sunscreen) in years!!

As a sucker who sold Mary Kay (aka, I have a truckload in my basement that I never sold) the only thing I refuse to sell at cost is the Eye Makeup Remover. I've horded that all to myself and will cry the day that I actually have to find a rep to purchase some through...

Anyone want some half priced MK makeup?

I am pretty good about getting my eye make up off, however my daughter who is allowed to wear mascara on special occasions, but is about to lose that priviledge since she ALWAYS forgets to wash it off!

I am SO good about taking all mascara off before bed. But I despise waterproof mascara because even with eye makeup remover...it sucks. LOL.

I just use soap and water to take my make-up off. I do like Mary Kay's microdermabrasion--not the after-cream, but just the scrub. It's made a huge difference in my skin.

Oh, I am with you on taking off the make up before...

Oh, I am with you on taking off the make up before bed. No matter how dropping dead tired I am. Can't bear the thought of sleeping with it on... a bit of my OCD showing! :-)

Yay for me! Thanks to my constant nagging, I raised daughters who don't sleep in their makeup! LOL
Actually, I can't take all the credit. My mom was a remove-your-makeup-before-bedtime freak as well. The statistics are quite convincing.....for every night you sleep in your makeup, you age your face 5 days! (Also, always moisturize your neck because it ages 3 times faster than your face.)
If you're younger than 30 this might not seem important,but believe me, when you get to be 62 it will make a heck of a lot of difference. I recently went to a dermatologist (sans makeup...EEEEKKKKK!!!) who asked me what I was using on my face. I told her I'd used Mary Kay since 1978 and she said, "Well keep it up!"
I suggest going to the link in Rita's blog and investing in some quality stuff for yourself......but just look, don't touch! ;o)

This is my favorite too! I think I started talking my Mom into selling Mary Kay just so I would have access to a totally endless stock of it. It's really good for people like me who have contacts too. Love it!

I am totally with you on this one! This is actually the only MK product I use, but I will never cheat on it with another. It has been the only eye-makeup remover I've found that can tackle waterproof mascara without an awful lot of scrubbing. . .and like you said, it isn't greasy and yuck. 3 cheers for MK!!!

I have that in my arsenal of beauty products too.

I think the black marks under football players eyes are to combat light reflection making it difficult to see while they're playing. But you could probably google it.
