Perosnal Review:

Got the chance to try it first on a sample. I have heard this product for quite some time but haven't really give much thought on purchasing one. First, i'm doing anything..EVERYTHING.. to have my face free from oil, and just imagine that this product is actually an oil to cleanse your face. Shu Uemura is a pioneer in terms of beauty products, and i believe that they wouldn't sell something that would dissapoint their customers especially this product is a bit pricey..so i became so intrigued and was thinking that there's a secret greatness to it that people from all over the world are looking for this Cleansing oil. So by the time i have this packette sample i tried it at once.

I had no clue on how will i be able to have my face be cleansed with it, i was a bit hesistant at first and the moment i poured a generous amount of oil in my palms..i've tried the "Fresh" type and was amazed on it's scent. So I gladly rub it all over my face and made sure that i have distributed it evenly. I tried putting a little water on my face and it forms a milky texture, i rinsed it off and was surprised that my face was actually smooth and oil-free. It also removes my make-ups and accumulated dirt that was there before i used this wonderful product. I love it! There's no trace of greasiness along my face after i dried it off, and it maintained it's softness till morning after i woke up. It didn't experienced breakout after using it, which i normally would especially if i use heavy moisturizer..for sure that my zits would sprout out the next day!

Directions:

1. use 1-2 pumps of cleansing oil on dry hands.

2. spread gently and thoroughly over dry face.

3. add a few drops of lukewarm water to face to emulsify(oil will turn milky white).

4. rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pros:

-It melts off all my makeup, but it takes a bit more work to get my mascara off.

-It nicely emulsifies with water and rinses clean better than you would expect.

-A bottle will lasts you pretty long.

Cons:

-For people who isn't used of using oil as cleanser may find it a bit weird, because after you rinsed it all off you'll feel as though there's still a residue of oil remained in your face.

-Expensive

Overall Verdict:

This is one of the best cleanser I've ever used . Nothing removes make-up as well as this. It's the only product that really removes absolutely all traces of make-up. I tried to swipe my face afterwards with toner on a cotton ball, and there's no make-up/dirt residues on it. No other cleanser I tried has done that. It also leaves my face feeling fresh, moisturized and clean. When used correctly this is the best thing out there for taking off makeup.

Product Review: Faceshop Brightening Rice Cleansing Water

Hi ladies! as you all know that it's a must for everyone to take their makeup off after a long hours of wearing it..and of course before going to sleep!!!! I really can't see the importance of it before until one day i started to noticed clog pores and my skin is starting to break out! I used to sleep with my makeup on cause i'm so lazy to remove it...i know i know..it's a big No-No but can't really blame myself especially if there are times that i'm about to collapse on my bed and i don't have the strength to take it off. And so when i'm starting to look for some mild makeup remover on "Faceshop" i decided to try their Brightening Rice water.:) I love that line! I already bought their brightening facial foam.


They say:

-Formulated with the traditional rice water once used by woman of the korean royal court, this concentrated cleansing water gently removes makeup while softening skin.


Directions:

-Moisten Cotton pad and gently wipe over entire face. Rince thoroughly with warm water.


Pros:

-It really removes all my makeups and accumulated dirt and oil.

-It leaves my skin smooth and soft.

-The fragrance is nice, no funky smell.


Cons:

-The pump type packaging makes it really hard to control the amount to be put on the cotton..that lots of times it exceeds and the rest would go waste

-I can't put it in my overnight bag and must be displayed upright or else it would leak.


Oerall Verdict:

-I really love this product! it's perfect and it can be used daily coz it does contain natural and mild ingredients that won't irritate the skin. This makeup remover can be used only for mild makeup applications, and heavier than that would be really hard to remove it all..so they also have the "Brightening Rice Cleansing Oil" for removing heavy makeups.:) And since i'm not putting on a lot on my face, this would be just perfect for me. It's widely available and you won't be missing this stuff! Once you tried it, believe me..there will be a second time of purchasing it! A bottle would last you long since you won't be needing a lot to have your makeup removed, just a generous amount of it and off you go! Better learn to control the pumps otherwise you'll end up having a soaked cotton balls.


Tips:

-Swipe using cotton pads/balls in upward motion, cause doing it the other way around has the tendency of wrinkling your skin or the danger of getting it sagged.
