Biore Cleansing Oil Review + Demo

In this day and age, a lot of companies has released different products that are innovative and easy to use especially in the make-up industry.  A product I want to talk about today is the Biore Cleansing Oil that I have been tryin the past few months. 

So let's get it on with the review.  I start the pictures below with a full face gone wild and cleansed so beware. Also, I did a YouTube video of my review and demo.

Product Claim:

• Instantly dissolves stubborn make-up and even waterproof mascara
• Claims to remove medium to heavy make-up
• Doesn't emulsilfy at first water contact
• Non-greasy or sticky feeling after use
• Gentle and mild on skin
• Refreshing fragrance

Product Packaging: It's in a plastic container with a pump, has a lock and a cap. I love how it's packaged nice pink purplish color, easy pump for product release and has a lock to avoid spillage or wasting product. You can see the poroduct thru and it's simple.  Also, I love how you see the instructions how to use it for first timers and it's claims.  Likewise, how it thoroughly work. 

Fragrance: I love how you smell that suttle fresh scent that it's not bothering to your nose and it doesn't linger

Price: This costs 299 pesos for me you get 150 ml of product and you don't need to use a lot to make it work.  Value for money is at it's finest.  A lot of cleansing oils out in the market at ranging for 1K and above that's as far as where I have checked only.

Trying it out:

Since I have trying this product for quite some time, I'd like to share that I love it like it's a dream. I for one does heavy make-up even for regular go to the office or ran an errand activity.  So, when I first tried it I was expecting it will just melt and I will still use tons of facial wash afterwards. 

However, I was wrong as it works like wonders.  I first put in a couple of pumps rub my hands and then slather the product and working it on my face and as you can see on the pictures below it melted the make-up.  A tip/suggestion, once you put in the product work the oil in your face so it goes down the pores and really takes the gunk off your face.

 I have tried Laura Mercier's cleansing oil and it's great but this is a little bit more thick in consistency for me and like it's claim, it doesn't emulsify at first contact with water. This means you have time to melt your make-up till your ready.

I tried to give you a glimpse how I did it and I tried it first on one half of my face.

 Girls you don't have to like super press the product on your face just massage it and everything will follow. See how the make-up melted on the pictures below. Phew!

Once you are happy with the meltdown, lol you are ready to wash and then again help it emulsify and it will bubble like a face wash.

All oiled and melted :p

Residue after washing

Verdict:

Okay, so my final thoughts on this Biore Cleansing Oil is it's a great product you may try if you're tired of using your cleansing wipes and you wanted a deep clean.  It can also be if you no longer want to repeatedly wash your face with the make-up wash that takes time. It's a one stop rinse-off remover. This doesn't make my face greasy afterwards which is a plus, normally oil cleansers gives you that oil film after cleaning to make it more hydrating.  I feel like my face is like a baby's bottoms after using it. I'm giving this a big 5/5 with the rating.  

By the way, I got mine at SM Megamall Department Store and I think it's available in almost all SM outlets and Watsons. It's also available online at Beauty MNL website.  Grab yours now and let me know your thoughts. **You might notice me in two different make-up situations, I tried to blog and film it different times.

Till my next blog guys,

Sigma Spa Mat Review

If you're into make-up, be it that you are a make-up enthusiast, professional make-up artist or simply a make-up lover I know you share the same dilemma when it's time to clean your brushes. 

If you're like me that has a good number of brushes around, you know it will take you hours cleaning them the traditional way.  When I say traditional, it's the one brush, put a gentle soap, swirl it on your palm and then some use olive oil or additional solution before you finish cleaning more than a dozen number of brushes.  By the time your done, hands will be wrinklier than your grandma's.

A lot of companies out there has released their own tool to make our lives easier and this is what I wanted to talk about today.  Sigma Beauty launched their Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Mat in addition to their line of Spa Gloves line.

Girls/Boys, it's always a good practice to make sure that your tools (brushes) are clean every time you use it.  You don't want those bacteria entering your face as this will give you acne and all sorts of skin diseases, don't you? Let me take you in action on my experience of this new product I discovered.                              

The all new Sigma Spa Brush Mat have 7 patented textures to help us make-up lovers clean our eye and face brushes.  It's a hands free tool and you can now say goodbye to wrinkly hands each time you use it.  Likewise, the cleaning time will be cut into half.  

This also has suction cups at the bottom of the mat to keep it in place; you don't want your investment (brushes) to whirl around the mat and potentially break it right.  It's said to also fit almost 32% of the sinks available.

The dimensions of this mat is 15.15 in 9.8 inches/38.5 cm x 25 cm.

So now the demonstration part, I tried my best to showcase below how I the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Mat and I'll let you know my thoughts.

STEP 1 - Wet the brush - Always remember not to soak your brushes to the water to avoid premature breakage and to make your brushes last longer.  Don't let the water go inside the ferrule and loosen up the glue that holds the brush hair.

STEP 2: Apply the cleaning solution.  In this case, wet the cleanser and swirl your brush around a couple of times.

STEP 3: Depending on what brush you are cleaning (in this case an eye brush), you swirl or rub your brush on the section that says "Wash Eyes"

Wash eyes texture in action below.

For a more deep clean, select refine plus for eyes (See Below).

STEP 4: Use the rinse eyes texture to clear all of the soap and bubbles and leave your brush to dry using your drying mat of whatever you use to dry it out.

From the time I got to use this particular tool, my life in cleaning my brushes has improved.  It no longer take me hours to clean it and I'm sure that the bristles are on tip top shape once done.  I'm giving this a big 5/5 rating as it's a tool for your make-up kit.

Also, the procedures are the same but you need to use the other side of the textures for face brushes.

By the way I got mine at Luxola website and this retails for 1,475.50 pesos.  This is a good deal as this will help you extend the life of your brushes and helps you avoid bacteria build up on your tools.

To give you an idea of how the textures looks like up close, I have taken pictures for your viewing pleasure.  I hope this particular review is helpful to you guys and I sure hope to see you on my next blog.  Please do share, comment and let me know any questions you may have. :)

Thanks again for dropping by.
