Make-up............off!!

Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil

This cleansing oil really does impress me. It never fails to take off my face makeup. It does not irritate my eyes/skin, neither would it leave any oily residue behind after rinsing the product off. The consistency is a little bit to the thicker side but not too thick or runny. What does it smell like? I do not think there is any smell to it. However, do not let ANYcleansing oil get too close to your eyes. Otherwise, it can blur your vision if the oil gets into your eyes... Even though it's only temporary, it is never a good thing to let any foreign substances get into your eyes. Trust me, I have tried to use this to take off my eye makeup. It did a great job removing even any waterproof mascara but left me with a blurry vision for a minute. Well, it did not irritate my eyes but still it is not a good idea.

Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Liquid

I should have just stick with the pink one I mentioned above...

I ran out of the pink one and was thinking, 'maybe it is the time that I give other products a try...' I saw this blue one on the shelf and the term 'weak acid' caught my attention... 'OK, I will give it a go!'

REGRET!!!!!!!!!

When I first pumped it out I notice that the consistency is so different to the pink one. This one is runnier, even runnier than any heated cooking oil I would say...Then I could smell alcohol... I said to myself, 'NOOOOOOOOOO.............'

Yes, this one contains alcohol... Then I read the label carefully... FAIR ENOUGH... this is not cleansing OIL but it is a cleansing LIQUID... I hate any skincare products that contain added alcohol... (I think it is acceptable for those that contain alcohol produced from natural processes... e.g. Weleda products) I know, I know... alcohol is really good for dissolving and removing oil and dirt... But I do not like the smell of it, I do not like the feel of it, I do not like how it dry out my skin, and I do not like how the vapour and the alcohol itself can easily get into my eyes and sting my eyes like crazy. No way that I would use this to take off my eye makeup.

I DO NOT even like consuming alcohol, END OF STORY.

Botanics (Boots) Soothing Eye Make Up Remover All Skin Types

I must admit, this is the best (so far) make up remover I have ever tried, just like what all the others say. This one even beat the eye makeup remover lotion from Simple (I have blogged about this before of how much I like it). This product worth every single penny. This is so gentle, no offensive smell, no added alcohol and no over-powering perfume (Actually, I think this product contains no perfume at all). This is a lovely product. This is one of those 2-phase products that you have to shake really well before use. The only down side of this is that you will need to use cotton pads with this product whereas you only massage with your hands for those I mentioned above. It takes off everything with no effort. No irritation at all and if you do not rinse after using this product, it does, in some way moisturise your skin. But I would assume that everyone would wash their face afterwards anyway.
