Stash #34: Make Up Remover

Removing makeup is a chore for most girls... especially if your makeup for the day includes mascara or fake lash. The skin around your eyes are really thin and we should not apply too much pressure or tug at it too often.

Therefore, a good makeup remover is essential to keep your face clean at the end of each day and well-maintained even 10, 20 years later. It should also be fuss-free since you should be dead beat at the end of each day.

Hope this review helps you get a better idea of the different types of makeup remover products out there so that you can make a better choice when purchasing!

Maybelline Make Up Remover for Eye and Lip 

Thumbs up: Since it is for eyes and lips, it is strong enough to remove any thick eyeliner, mascara and red hot lipstick. Plus it's cheap! You can always get the 40ml travel size bottle at Watsons for just $2.

Thumbs down: This remover is really oily, making water incapable of penetrating through your skin after make-up removal.

Bifesta Sebum Cleansing Lotion

Thumbs Up: Fast and efficiently removes make-up. Doesn't feel oily after removal.

Thumbs down: Somehow this removal makes my eyes sting every single time I use it. Hence I'm using it as a make-up "eraser" to erase mistakes on my eyes during make up.

Biore Make-up Remover (Pink Bottle)

Thumbs Up: Removes make-up almost instantly or after a few rubs. Face feels clean after use. Oh yeah, you don't need cotton pads for this. You just need your fingers.

Thumbs down: None really. Not any I can think of.

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets

Thumbs Up: This product is awesome! I always use this when I have thick make-up on or on days when I'm really tired. Like a piece of wet wipes, just place them on your face, especially the eye area, press it down for a few seconds, and swipe it across your face. Most of my make-up came off instantly. Wipe a few more times and you are done! Face doesn't feel oily at all and you feel like you don't even need facial wash.

Thumbs down: Nothing to say. It's awesome!

Biore Hydra-Clear Make-up Remover

Thumbs Up: This product works just as well as its sister in pink.

Bio-essence Bio-Hydra Water Soluble Olive Cleansing Oil

Thumbs Up: I love how this remover feels smooth and gentle on the skin and turns milky as the make-up comes off. After rinsing with water thoroughly, most of the make-up, including those stubborn mascara and eyeliner will be gone. Besides it has a mild fragrant smell which I like!

And the reason for this? This product adopts bio-technology to make molecules so fine that it can rapidly disintegrate all types of make-up and dirt on skin surface.

It also contains olive oil and cranberry seed oil to nourish the skin while removing the make-up.

Thumbs down: Despite stating that it does not leave your skin feeling greasy, this product is a little oily to the skin. But after a facial wash, your face will feel just as clean.
