Take the Day Off

This is my first cleansing oil and I can say that I’m fairly satisfied with it.

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Oil

I really can’t compare this to the Shu Uemura cleansing oils as I haven’t tried them yet. I’m not even sure if I’m going to try them as they are very expensive. This, however, is more affordable at only Php1,200-1500 per 200 ml bottle.

I said that I’m fairly satisfied with this product because it’s great for removing face and eye makeup but not waterproof mascara. It will probably remove regular mascara without a problem but I don’t use them. I always use waterproof mascara.

I bought this in spite of having several makeup removers (please refer to previous posts) for days when I’m not feeling well (suddenly have an attack) or when I’m too tired to remove my makeup and just want to take a bath straight when I get home then go to bed. I pump about 3x worth of product on my palm and apply as I would a facial wash. I make sure to gently but thoroughly rub the parts where there are the most makeup i.e. eyes. I then use my Clinique Facial Wash. Afterwards, my face feels clean and fresh.

The smell is like all Clinique products that I’m using. It doesn’t feel like oil but more of a liquid facial wash so I have to be very careful when applying on my face as the liquid spills.

I know it’s quite pricey for a makeup remover but I only use this about 4-6x a month and it allows me to rest as soon as possible so the price is justified. Time and rest are very valuable to me and this product gives them when needed. I bought this in December and I still have more than 75% left.

I recommend this for all you busy girls out there. I know there are times when you’re really, really tired but that’s not an excuse to go to bed with an icky face. This product will get rid of the day’s dirt in no time and will allow you to get your R&R fast.

    Well what do you know... are we blog topic twins? I also posted about my fave Clinique prods today, hehe. I'm glad you're liking this makeup remover.

    I used to like this makeup remover a few years back but I'm now more in love with my Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil. Shu's a runaway winner, in my honest opinion. You get more than just having a clean face with it, may glow na kasama after rinsing. :)

    Shu's tad pricey but only a few hundred pesos. I bought my first 150mL bottle @duty free for 1250 lang. yun nga lang it's at DF so if it aint really accessible. you'll be pushed to get it from local Shu counters na super laki ng mark-up.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
