[Tried & Tested] Sk-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil

Hi Huneybees,

This gift from SK-II came at the right time. It was as though they knew I was running out of makeup remover. Hehehehe... I have now changed my cleansing routine and it is so much easier now with the SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil.

This clear oil helps me remove me makeup within seconds, leaving it squeaky clean, all ready for my SK-II Facial Treatment Essence after. Not only does it clean fast, my skin feels softer and smoother after every wash and I find that whatever products I put on my face after that, gets absorbed better as my skin shows better results day by day!

So here's an example. I have lipstick, lipgloss, pencil eyeliner, liquid eyeliner and CC Cream drawn on my hand. All it takes is to pump a dollop of the oil and rub in, do not use water yet, simply rub in circular motion and you can see most of the makeup "melting" away.

This is then the time to add a little bit of cold or lukewarm water and continue rub in till the oil is emulsified. It might be a icky yucky colour now, but once you rinse off with cold or lukewarm water, the skin is left clean and smooth...

The best part of it is that the cleansing oil makes it so easy to remove the makeup, I don't even need to rub too hard to remove my makeup. It's almost like massaging my face and the simple wash off cuts my skincare routine time shorter. There is no oily feeling after wash and I can't help touching my face every time I wash my face. LOL!

A simple 3 pumps of the cleansing oil is enough to remove all my makeup.

Overall, I would recommend this cleansing oil for those who want hassle free cleansing and hey, we should pamper ourselves sometimes too right?

[Tried & Tested] Easy Peasy Makeup Removal With ORBIS Oil Cut Cleansing Liquid N (Moomin Limited Edition)

Hi Huneybees,

Not just the packaging, even the paper bag has Moomin printed on!

I have been on constant search for effortless makeup removal methods. I hate those that stings the eyes and takes multiple hard rubs to remove that water resistant mascara! So many fine lines created and simply wad a frustrating way to end the day right?

Well, I've found the one just right for me, 3 pumps of this cleansing oil is all I need to remove all the makeup on my face within minutes!

The lovely people of ORBIS delivered this Christmas present just at the right time. With its limited edition Moomin packaging, you will feel all so girly and back to childhood with sweet dreams immediately after you remove all our makeup.

ORBIS is the Number 1 brand in Japan for Holistic Beauty, being an industry pioneer in oil-free skincare. The brand’s inaugural 100% Oil-Free skincare concept was first introduced in 1987. It was a hit, and ORBIS has since taken by storm various Asian countries like Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.

And like their motto, this bottle of cleansing liquid is:

• Oil-Free
• Fragrance-Free
• Alcohol-Free
• Free of Artificial Colours
• Mild Acidity
• Allergy Tested (Formulated to minimize the risk of allergy)
• Non-Comedogenic Tested (Formulated to minimize the risk of acne)

It's so simple. Now everyday I get home, remove my contact lens and pump 3 pumps of the cleansing liquid in my palm, then I rub it all over my face. I like to use this dry, even though you can do it with water, it's very delicate, no tugging of skin is needed. After which, you can use your facial wash and proceed with your routine face regime.

I even used a makeup remover tissue to test how clean it is after using the cleansing liquid. I'm amazed that there is no residue left! This is my favorite makeup remover by far and I love the moisturised bouncy feeling my skin has after using it!

Excuse my dark circles, but see how clean my skin is!!!

[Tried & Tested] Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil

Hi Huneybees,

I have heard raves about the Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil and was excited when I was given a 50ml travel bottle to try out. 

Did you know?

“Your skin is endowed with many functions to preserve its beauty. The only thing it cannot achieve by itself is to cleanse. Only when residue is completely removed is skin’s metabolism fully activated, gently encouraging its natural beauty.” Cleansing with oil ensures make-up and impurities are gently removed in a single step, ensuring skin’s natural balance is not disturbed and providing a simple way to beauty.” --- Shu Uemura

Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil helps to improve the skin texture as it cleanses with a selection of  8 different botanical origin oils – Olive, Jojoba, Ginger Root, Corn, Soy Bean, Shea Butter, Safflower and Camellia, which were carefully selected from Chinese medicines and beauty oils all over the world.

These oils are proven to have the highest skincare efficacy for creating softer skin and the formula hydrates, conditions, and nourishes the skin from within. Here's a video on how to use and show how effortless it is to remove makeup.

I think one of the most shockingly misconceived notions about cleansing oil is the fact that people think it’ll leave their skin oily or that if they have oily skin it will make them even more oily after use. Well, that's not the case.

Yes, you are applying a thick layer of oil to your face but it rinses off easily and doesn’t leave behind any oily or greasy feel after use. Just 2-3 pumps of the cleansing oil and you can have freshly cleaned skin.

The Review

The oil seems a little thicker compared to other formulas but it does not mean it does not rinse off easily. Even my super waterproof mascara and eyeliner, comes off without much rubbing. I like how my skin feels so soft and smooth after using the cleansing oil.

Overall, the formula is excellent but for the price, I might have to consider a bit before getting it. It's definitely good to have if you use really waterproof makeup products...
