Enough with the blabber, I'm just happy that I found the will and way to blog. So as the title says, I'm reviewing about the Bifesta Cleansing Lotion. This is a Japanese brand and it's a water-based make-up remover. I have seriously oily skin and water based products is a plus for me. I actually discovered that fact like a month ago. I'm really a late bloomer on skin care and other make-up stuff.
I discovered this thru Ms. Liz Lanuzo of Project Vanity, she had a review on this as well. When she mentioned that this is available on Watson's. I said, "Say what?!?". I love Watson's especially their branch on Gateway. The salesladies, cashier and even the security guard knows me already and why I haven't stumbled on this product when I go there 5x a week?
The only make-up removers I've tried are from Ever Bilena which stings and it's oil-based and also from Maybelline, which is better than Ever Bilena but is also oil-based. I know there's a lot of DIY make-up removers and I just don't find time to do it so I settled on the products available in the market.
Price: Php 419.00 but I got in on sale for Php 349.00
Availability: Watson's and Shopwise (as far as I know)
Variants: Sebum (for oily skin), Agecare (for matured skin) , Brightup (for dull skin) and Moisture (for dry skin)

| For oily skinned gal like me. |

| Yay! True blue! |
The product claims that it:
- Melts and remove oil in make-up - It does. It really does. Waterproof mascara (Majolica Majorca Lash King and Maybelline The Falsies) has no say to this.
- Tightens large pores and controls excessive oil - Pores are still the same and my skin is still oily so this is so not true. At least for me and I really don't use it on my face a lot except when I used Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation.
- Cleanses oily skin without irritation - It didn't irrirated my skin, no break-outs after a month of usage.
- Hypoallergenic - It will work for sensitive skin since I've read a review from a blogger that has sensitive skin and it worked fine.
Packaging
- It is a pump bottle made of plastic (hygienic, it has a stopper as shown on the photo above which you can throw away. For me, I kept it because it helps when I travel and it avoids the pump from being harassed inside my messy bag and cause spillage which we all girls hate.

| For my eye make-up. I have brown e/s, I tightlined and some mascara. Sorry, it's the end of the day for me and my make-up is not as fresh when it was initially applied and I don't wear heavy make-up at work. |
I use about half a pump since I really am so making "tipid" and don't want to waste the product.
So I pat the cotton pad and leave it there for 10 seconds and please no rubbing on the eye area, just pat the cotton pad and let it do it's magic.
 |
| Tada. I know it's gross. |
After wiping it gently, all my eye make-up is gone including the one on my eyebrows.
 |
| One eye only. |
So I flipped the cotton pad and used it on my other eye. Just kidding. I didn't of course. So, another half a pump on another cotton pad.
 |
| Voila. All cleaned and fresh. |
- It really does a great job removing waterproof make-up. Just make sure to pat the cotton pad for 10-15 seconds and let the magic happen. Patience is a virtue girls.
- I've had mine for almost a month now and it's half full. (I'm not using it on a daily basis on my face, I use it everyday just for my eyes.
- I still wash my face with my cleanser (Pond's Flawless White/ Pond's Anti-bacterial Facial Scrub) though it says that you can move on to your skincare routine such as applying toner and moisturizer and what-not.
- It's worth the price. I will repurchase this one. I don't need high-end make-up removers as of now when I know that there is a cheaper alternative. Unless, it's a gift or I win the lottery.
- It does not sting and it's fragrance-free. No tingly sensation.
How 'bout you? How do you remove your make-up?
Leave a comment and make my day! Ciao!
