The Bite:
Bring out the big guns. Try eco-friendly makeup removers that are so effective, even the clumpy mascara you applied using the rearview mirror this morning doesn't stand a chance.
Do you go to battle with your makeup each night?

The Benefits:
- Beating noxious chems to a pulp. Some cosmetics removers contain ingredients such as triethanolamine, a softener linked to cancer.
- Keeping nature outta this. Chems we use on our bodies will inevitably end up in nature.
- Fighting animal cruelty. Opt for removers from brands that don't test on animals.
Personally Speaking:
Wanna Try:
- Farmaesthetics Eyebright - eye makeup remover that smells fresh and feels hydrating; the herb eyebright helps to soothe the skin around your eyes ($23/1 ounce).
- Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp - cleansing oil that cools your skin and is meant just for dissolving cosmetics ($21/4 ounces).
- Organic Essentials Cotton Balls - superplush, organic cotton balls. Also: pads and swabs ($3-$6).
Cocktail Fact
Don't ask us: The inventor of Q-Tips originally marketed his swabs as "Baby Gays."
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters opt for a 4-ounce bottle of eco-remover instead of the conventional stuff, we'll keep the weight of 17 makeup artists in questionable chems outta production.
