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.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
