I certainly wouldn't use Vaseline, it's much too heavy, apart from getting in your eyes and making them blurry it will leave you puffy in the morning. Baby oil at a push but not regularly. Why don't you get a proper product? I wear mascara, kohl and eyeliner and would thoroughly recommend Nivea Double Effect eye makeup remover, it's quite cheap too.
I recommend the same as Prudie. While micellar water does work, it requires more rubbing. Not a good thing in my opinion. The Nivea product is very gentle yet thorough.
I just skimmed through that article on Vaseline and it's stated that it contains cocoa butter..."The formula of Vaseline is enriched with cocoa butter, and aloe vera works wonders for your skin."
...its just petroleum jelly.
