Bioré Cleansing Oil

I've had quiet good experiences with Bioré products in general. When I was younger, I used their face wash. I remember enjoying the menthol feeling making my face tingle and was particularly soothing and refreshing. when I saw this special edition My Melody Cleansing Oil I couldn't resist hahah.

This product boasts to be able to remove waterproof makeup so I decided to put it to the test. A standard day of make up would consist of foundation, powder, blusher, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. All of which aren't issues in my opinion, except THE EYELINER. This eyeliner is SO good that if I were caught in a tsunami, they would find my dead body washed ashore after 2 days... with perfect eyeliner. Serious. 

The way you use this is to apply the oil without wetting your face. Best if face and hands are dry. 1 pump is sufficient. Smells like apple, quite nice. Rubbing the oil in circular motions all over your face. You can see the foundation and powder, even lipstick come off quite immediately. Which is pretty good... except the eyeliner. That eyeliner!!! GRRR!!! It refuses to come off, it sort of just gets smudged around a bit (think panda eyes). After that you're supposed to rinse off with water and use face wash.

I must admit I don't rub my face for 5 minutes... but I do it for at least 1 minute. I give up. I use eye makeup remover to get rid of the eyeliner in 2 seconds. As a whole, the Bioré Cleansing Oil is a good product to buy. It removes make up well and is reasonable S$17.90 at Watson's. 

In comparison to the Belif Cleansing Oil Fresh, I think this is a bit thicker and oilier. But they both do the same job, you can read my review about Belif Cleansing Oil Fresh here. Belif doesn't get rid of the eye make up either. Bioré is however the cheaper option. It's worth giving it a try.
