Stand at a beauty counter and one is easily overwhelmed by the choices of eye makeup available. Mascaras, eyeliners, cream based eyeshadows are amongst many available in great number of shades, applicators and prices. So, it is norm to have more than one mascara or eyeliner.
Mondays are usually reserved for voluminous mascaras to mask the blues. On Friday evenings, eyeliner gets thicker, the wing gets higher and the eyes sparkle of happiness.
But the process of removing eye makeup is often harsh. Colourfully stained piles of cotton wool. Tugging at the delicate eye area. Horror! Fallen lashes on the cheeks. What do you do? 
Introducing Biotherm Biocils Lash Saving Makeup Remover. Using three active ingredients inspired by hair care research, it helps
 
·         Protect and strengthen lash quality
·         Limit lash loss during makeup removal
·         Stimulate natural growth for longer and thicker lashes
 
Just a gentle swipe removes most of the eye makeup without the stinging feel and "look mum, no lashes!" 
Why we love it: It removes mascara easily, cares and conditions lashes, and isn't harsh on the skin. You get the junk off and limit lash loss.
Biotherm Biocils is at $42. Available at all Biotherm counters from mid September.
