Biore Cleansing Oil [Girly Review]

Phew...just like that another year has almost gone! I know people always say this at the end of the year but really! where has the year gone??? I still remember like it was yesterday, me bidding in the year 2010  and now 2011 is nearly upon us. Tsk tsk...


Again, I have abandoned this blog...kekeke. I was editing the photos for the past week or so in my PC to transfer over to my mac so that I can blog on my mac. I still do not have any photo editing tools installed on my Mac, that's why! =_=" 


Ok, this is supposed to be a "girly review" so you guys can stop reading up until here! lol



I've heard good reviews about the Biore cleansing sheets so when my MAC (MAC the makeup brand not the Apple Mac.lol!) makeup remover ran out, i immediately went and bought this Biore Cleansing Oil. (RM18.40 from Watson's)

Well, if the cleansing sheet is good the cleansing oil is supposed to be using the same formula too right? 


The description on the bottle certainly sounds promising. No greasy/sticky residue (urgh! i hate the oily feeling after using makeup remover), does not clog pores, gentle and mild on skin and refreshing fragrance

But to be honest, the first 2/3 times I used it, i wasn't very impressed. In fact, I was even convinced that it's a sucky makeup remover. I pumped 1 or 2 pumps of the oil onto a cotton pad and try to soak up my eye makeup (I dare not use it on my whole face since I don't like the idea of using oil on my face o_o) but very little makeup came off. Even after a certain amount of rubbing not all of my makeup came off! 


I almost got ready to send this bottle of cleansing oil into the abyss of unwanted products on my dresser when I read the usage instructions on the bottle *palms head* It says to pour the cleansing oil on your palm and gently massage off the makeup. All these while, I thought makeup should be removed with cotton pad, no? lol.


Massaged it off with my fingers/palms, I did! And voila! Full eye makeup and waterproof mascara removed just like that! I love this method of removing eye makeup more than the cotton pad method because with the cotton pad method you have to hold the cotton pad on your eye for at least a few seconds for it to properly dissolve your makeup but with this method you just massage. 


But of course, some of the product still gets in my eye and it stings a little and clouds my vision :( 
But I still love it nevertheless, anything that makes my life easy, i like :)


Here's a demo of how it works...


Yes, I applied eye makeup on my hands to practise my eye makeup for a dinner.LOL! 

Pump some cleansing oil onto it and massage for 1 to 3 seconds...

And you get this messy oil slick...wash it off with water and tadah!....

Normally, after I have used an eye makeup remover and washed my face with my cleanser, I would still feel some oil under my eye but not with this one. As for the smell, I think it smells like cherries :) Delicious! 


At RM18.40 this is certainly a great and affordable buy! Definitely a repurchase. Who says you need expensive products huh? Let's hope I remember that...
