The Claims
I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting into before trying out this makeup remover, so I did some research. Here's what I found: Grande Cosmetics' GrandeVANISH is a bi-phase makeup remover that not only gets rid of makeup easily but also nourishes the delicate skin around your eyes and provides benefits for your lashes and brows. It's made with a special blend of Hexapeptide-11 and Algae Extracts, as well as Vitamin E and natural oils like Avocado, Kukui, and Macadamia. The formula is specifically designed to be gentle and non-damaging to lashes and can remove long-wear and waterproof makeup without any pulling or tugging. After using GrandeVANISH, you can expect your skin to feel soothed, supple, and soft, which is an impressive claim for any makeup remover.

The Review
To get a true sense of GrandeVANSISH's effectiveness, I decided to go all out and do a full face of makeup. I applied waterproof mascara, liquid eyeliner, lip liner, and red lipstick, which are all notoriously stubborn to remove. I followed the instructions provided by Grande Cosmetics, which involved shaking the bottle, saturating a cotton pad, pressing and holding it against my face to soften the makeup, and then swiping to remove it.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the product worked quickly and efficiently, without leaving any traces of makeup behind. Although it did take a few cotton pads to fully remove all of the makeup, I didn't have to keep tugging at my lashes or lips to get everything off. In fact, the remover felt gentle and soothing on my skin, which was a pleasant surprise considering how strong it was at removing makeup.

The Verdict
GrandeVANSIH did exactly what it promised to do, and for that, I give Grande Cosmetics a big thumbs up. However, the real question is whether I would consider repurchasing this myself and recommend it to my friends, family, and—most importantly—our readers. Here's what I have to say about that.
The formula is incredibly gentle and does an excellent job of removing eye makeup. But would I be willing to spend $22 on an eye makeup remover when I can get a drugstore brand for $5 that does the same thing? Maybe not. However, I would be willing to pay $22 for this makeup remover because of its multiple uses and how well it treated my skin afterward. One of the most annoying things about makeup removers is how greasy and drying they can be, but this one did not leave my skin feeling that way at all. In fact, it's formulated to nourish and be gentle on the skin, and it definitely lives up to that promise.
I also want to mention that while it did a good job of removing eye makeup, it really excelled at getting rid of my red lipstick. This is something I usually struggle with, but the GrandeVANISH makeup remover took care of it in just three cotton pads. What's more, it didn't dry out my skin, which is a huge plus for me.
Overall, I would recommend Grande Cosmetics' GrandeVANISH makeup remover. It definitely earned my seal of approval, and I think you should check it out if you're looking for a makeup remover that is gentle, nourishing, and effective.
