Review for Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets (makeup remover wipes)

Hey there! Today I’m reviewing my Biore cleaning oil makeup remover wipes I featured in my Malaysia haul. I’ve heard so many raves for Biore products especially the makeup cleansing oil and been meaning to try them out. My friend uses their makeup remover wipes and swears by them, so I bought a box to try out too. In my Malaysia haul post, I’ve stated the prices comparisons and all so do check out that post for more details. 

Pros:

Removes makeup extremely well, I only need 1 sheet of the Biore wipe for my entire face including my eye makeup. It is able to remove the infamous Majolica MajorcaMascara but does take a little time which is amazing removing strength in one small wipe.

It is very convenient to use, I do not need an additional cotton pad or any products. Just a pull out a sheet and swipe. Very suitable for lazy days. The facial sheets feel smooth, does not feel rough and scratchy on face unlike some other wipes do.

Some people recommend baby wipes to remove makeup but I wouldn’t recommend that. Baby wipes I’ve tried feels really smooth on the hand but it scratches the face and leaves a sticky soapy film on the face and does not do a thorough job at removing makeup. 

The packaging is love. I got the plastic container which can be refilled by buying the refillable packs. The plastic container is very sturdy and helps to retain moisture in the package. 

There are also small travel packets for sale at Watsons that are great for travelling or staying out at a friend’s house. I bought a packet to put in my makeup bag in case of any emergencies. I do not recommend wearing makeup overnight, it is one of the many pet peeves I have.  

Travel packet (below)

Cons:

Has a weird citrusy scent that is not pleasant in my opinion. It irks me a little but not to the extent where I have to stop using it. 

It was not as moist or damp as I thought it would be but it still does the job well. The wipes are pretty small but it is sufficient for the entire face.

Yadda Yadda:

If I’m not wrong, the small packet of remover wipes cost around SGD$3.00 (approx) and the large box costs around SGD$16.00 (approx) in Singapore Watsons. Will I repurchase? YES! Super convenient and I find myself reaching out for this product on many days. 

Packaging: 5/5

Price: 4/5

Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Overall rating: 4.5/5

Review for Mandom Cleansing Express

Hail to the Holy Grail make up remover! Mandom Cleansing Express is a Japanese brand makeup remover and comes in 3 formulas to suit different skin types- Oily skin, dry skin and for aging skin. I have to say…this stuff is AWESOME! In the past I used to use the one for oily skin, because I have combination skin but I switched to the one for dry skin so as to retain more moisture and oil in my skin. 

I’m not lying when I say that I am a big fan! There are a few more empty bottles that i gave my mum to put handsoaps and stuff.

 

 

 

 

  

Ingredients (below)

Pros:

This makeup remover is great at removing makeup. It is water-based so less irritation to the skin. The solution did not break me out or cause any irritation to my skin at all. The solution for dry skin does not strip out my face of its natural oils so you can actually feel that your face is more moisturized compare to the solution for dry skin where after using it your face feels smooth and powder-dry. I will recommend using the solution for oily skin if you have really oily skin (if it makes sense) and the dry formula for people with combination skin. 

Both solutions work exactly the same, cleanses face of any traces of makeup. This solution does not leave a film over your face which I read that some makeup removers do. It feels really clean and the face does not feel tight or uncomfortable after using it. Bottle contains a large amount of solution that can last me around 3 months using it 4-5 days a week. I have not tried the formula for aging skin so I am not able to review or compare it. Comes in a pump bottle therefore hygienic. The bottle is extremely pretty! (Seen in the pictures above), the design on the green bottle (for oily skin) is my favourite.

Cons:

The pump is a problem because the solution squirts everywhere and can be quite messy (that’s what she said LOL). However, I think they changed the pump and it is not as bad as before, but do take note of the pump as it can be quite problematic. And if you thought you got a defective pump, don’t worry they all work the same. The effectiveness of the solution overweighs the faulty-like pump so it doesn’t really bother me and I’m used to it too. There is less precision control in the amount of product coming out too so do take note. 

Directions:

This is how I do it, may not be the right way but it works for me. I pump 2-3 pumps of solution onto a clean cotton pad then press it on my eyeliner for 10 seconds before rubbing it off. Eyeshadow is able to come off immediately. For eyelash glue and mascara, hold it for around 20 seconds.  To remove makeup on face, I wet the cotton pad with the solution and gently rub it all over my face. I continue removing my makeup till cotton pad has no/slight traces of makeup left. I always use 4 or 5 cotton pads for my whole face.

 

Yadda Yadda:

Mandom Cleasing Express is available at Watsons stores at S$16.90 for 300ml of solution. I paid S$16.90 for the product. Will I repurchase? Yes! Totally worth every cent I paid. I strongly recommend this product so go check it out guys! Share your thoughts on it; did it work as effectively on you as it did for me? Rating: 4.5/5 stars.

Love,

Review for Bioderma Sensibio H2O

Review for Bioderma Sensibio H2O

I recently purchased the Bioderma Sensibio H2O makeup remover after hearing and reading reviews raving about this product. It was on 20% discount at Guardian for a smaller 100ml bottle so I did not hesitate to buy it (the bottle is so ADORABLE!). For those who do not know what this product is, from the labels it says that this product is a number 1 makeup remover in France. The Label at the back states that is great for sensitive skin, cleanse / remove makeup from face and eyes and soothes. It is a non-rinse formula. I use it for removing makeup. It is a water-based makeup remover.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-6 Caprylic/ Capric Glycerides, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructo-oligosaccharides, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Cetrimonium Bromide.

A/N: Will insert pictures of makeup removal strength in the future



Pros:

I was hoping that this product will work very well, seeing all the good reviews online stating how easy makeup comes off using this. Let’s just say, I set my expectations a tad too high. The makeup remover removes makeup well but definitely not any better than my favourite Japanese makeup remover Mandom Cleansing Express Review which I will do a solo review later on. For the price, I guess I was expecting a little more effectiveness in the product. It still does the job well, makeup comes off easily.

I have not experience any breakouts/rashes/allergies with this product which is a wonderful plus. I do not have sensitive skin therefore I cannot say it works for sensitive skin but the solution is indeed very mild and I will recommend it to people with sensitive skin. The solution is fragrance-free and alcohol-free and contains no phenoxyethanol. No tightness in the face after using this product which often happens when i use really drying products *thumbs up*.



Cons:

The Bioderma Sensibio H2O is pretty darn expensive in Asia. It retails for S$15.90 (approx) for a 100ml bottle and S$34.50 (approx) for 250ml bottle. Is it worth it? In my honest opinion, it is worth the try especially for people with sensitive/dry skin but for the price I will probably look for a cheaper alternative.



Yadda Yadda:

I paid S$12+ after a 20% discount. Will i repurchase? I will not be repurchasing it. Bioderma Sensibio H2O is sold at Guardian Pharmacies at the Bioderma product section. Have you guys tried it? Share your thoughts!

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
