REVIEW: Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover

Because I am such a makeup geek and have to try just about anything new out there, I thought I’d give Urban Decay’s new makeup remover a try.  I was drawn in by its creative and fun packaging- the squeeze tube is unique and I love the package design!

The product itself is very creamy, which I wasn’t expecting for a makeup remover. It felt more like a moisturizer than a remover, and to be completely honest:  it didn’t really take my makeup off that well.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Urban Decay (their palettes and eyeliners are amazing!)  But this makeup remover just didn’t hold up to my expectations.   I’m very used to my beloved Clinique Makeup Remover as it takes off my makeup in one swipe.  (see my review here:  Makeup Remover Review)  With this Urban Decay one, I had to rinse with water afterwards to get anything off and even then I still had some eye makeup left behind…

What I love:

• The packaging- very unique and creative
• It has a fresh smell that isn’t overpowering

What I hate:

• Was too creamy
• Did not remove my eye makeup that well- got stuck in my lashes because of the creamy formula
• The price could be just a tad cheaper

.

I really wanted to like this product as I love the Urban Decay brand, but I am sticking to my Clinique one as it removes my makeup much better.  (get the purple Clinique one as it has a touch of oil in it which breaks down makeup better. Just rinse afterwards)
