Biore Cleansing Oil Review

Just got myself a new makeup remover last weekend at SASA(again!) for RM23. Wanted to try this for a while now since a lot of magazine been raving about how good this is. I got this after I finished using Loreal gentle eye and lips makeup remover.

Biore Oil-based makeup remover



Description at the back~



Here's the suggested usage method:


1. Pumped a proper amount of cleansing oil onto palm and gently massage onto face to dissolve makeup

2. Rinse thoroughly with water when makeup and facial dirt has dissolved.

Tested it on my hand since I didn't want to wash my face yet(I had my serum and moisturizer on)


On my hand: concealer+foundation



Pumped one drop of this cleansing oil onto my hand and gently massaged it with my finger~ The makeup dissolves rather easily~ (,OvO,)



Right after rinsing it off with water~

What I think about it?


Well I love the strong apple+berry-ish scent and how it really easily dissolves makeup. On the other hand, I find it really impossible to avoid getting this product into your eyes when removing eye makeup. It stings like crazy when it does!!

So I used a cotton pad and pumped this remover and then place the cotton pad over my eyes for a couple of second and then wipe gently to remove the rest of the mascara. That did the trick.

Another thing I don't like about this remover is that I would need to rinse them off after the makeup's dissolved. I suppose this remover's meant to be used at the end of the day when you wanna get rid of all your makeup and NOT when you want to fix your makeup. Imagine how many times you gotta reapply your entire makeup(Gahhh!).


My rating:  2.5/5


Well, I actually prefer a makeup remover that doesn't need rinsing after usage and I prefer to use a cotton pad to remove makeup and not massaging them onto my face, so yeah.

Magazine woes

Just got myself this May issue of Popteen with Tsubasa on the cover.

Some might have realized this was supposed to be last month's issue but over here, in Malaysia,  they issue Popteen's mags a month later which means I only get the Japanese April issue in May, what's more, they're all translated to Chinese!!! (T^T) Sadness to the max! I purposely went all the way to KL just to find it but couldn't so I decided to get the Chinese version one even though I can't read it at all....


I was actually really eager to try out this one hairstyle here but then found out some of the pages were missing!!! And this includes the hairstyle page and a few others. Like wtf! The original Japanese version has over 150 pages and this one ends at 120-something. Whyyyyyy???!!


__________(,TAT,)________


And because I really wanted to try out the hairstyle, I went hunting for the scans at the site I usually go for my dose of monthly Japanese magazine but....

Anyone knows how to do that hair updo?
