We all know that oils,
either natural or synthetic, break down make-up, even the most
long-wearing formulas. With that in mind, I used to remove my
lipstick with virgin olive oil (I bet that coconut oil works just
fine, too). It was effective and I didn't have to worry about
swallowing it – a problem I have with eye & lip make-up
removers!
Today, as I was thinking
about removing the Sephora Cream Lip Stain I came up with an idea.
Why not use an oil-based lip butter? I tried it, and I have to say
I'm impressed. It is even more effective than olive oil, probably
because it contains more than one oil. The lip butter of my choice was the Liposan (a.k.a.
Nivea) Vanilla & Macadamia Lip Butter. I totally suggest buying
it, even if you don't enjoy it as a lip moisturizer, as it is very
affordable (around 3 euros) and smells divine. Personally, I love using it as a
nighttime lip treatment as well. Definitely worth purchasing.
