A lash cleansing slip apparatus and cleaning system is described. The lash cleansing slip is configured to facilitate the safe and effective cleaning of make-up such as mascara, eyeliner, and similar cosmetics from the eye region of a user. The apparatus is equipped with specially designed holes configured to accommodate an index finger and a thumb of a user to facilitate the cosmetic removal. A front of the apparatus is preferably padded and is designed to be the cleaning face of the apparatus to be applied to the eyelid and eyelashes of the user while minimizing irritation of the eyes. Consistent use of the apparatus, in contrast to conventional cleansing wipes, is envisioned to minimize the creation of wrinkles of the eye region over time.
