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.
Bifesta Sebum Cleansing Lotion in action (Kapow!)
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?
