Seeing that I have lots of time in the world now, I might as well finish up on all the delayed assignments. Today I will be doing a post on Biore's latest make up remover - the Aqua Jelly Remover.

“The new Bioré Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover, with its revolutionary jelly-like texture, comes in an even smoother, lighter consistency but with the same high cleansing  ability that effortlessly dissolves and lifts off more makeup in a gentle glide. This highly acclaimed makeup remover has also received multiple positive reviews from its existing users.”

I have always been a fan of Biore's makeup removers. I do not always use Biore's makeup removers seeing that there are more competitive brands coming up with new makeup removers, however, I always come back to Biore at the end of the day.

The improved product benefits are:

• Smoother jelly-like texture is gentle on skin and rinses off easily and quickly without any harsh tugging or pulling action on skin.
• High cleansing ability dissolves and lifts off all traces of makeup effortlessly.
• Made with 40% more moisturing essence nourishes and hydrates skin for a dewy moisturised finish.
• Lightweight formula leaves skin feeling refreshed, with no sticky or greasy after-feel.

Now, let's put this product for a test to see if it claims what it said it would do.

These are the makeup products that I usually use.

Swatches, from left to right: Waterproof mascara, foundation, eyebrow crayon, lip tint, BB cream.

Usage directions:

1. Pump an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps) onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area.
2. Massage gently to dissolve makeup.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water. It is not necessary to remove cleansing liquid with cotton pad or tissue.
4. For best results, apply on dry face and hands. Do not use facial cotton pad or tissue. 

I used 2 pumps of liquid here.

Rinsed off and blotted with a tissue paper for clearer view.

My review

This product smells really nice (as always for Biore's products). It did what it claims to do; makeup was removed with no tugging of the skin, it's gentle on the skin and easy to rinse off. It did leave my skin feeling soft and I can just go to bed without having to wash my face to remove the greasy and sticky feeling. However, you can see that it did not remove my waterproof mascara completely. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed la but overall, it's a really fantastic product. After all I can just buy a waterproof mascara which is easy to remove. But still, a big thank you to Biore and Sample Store for sending this amazing product to me!

The Biore Aqua Jelly remover is available at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores and western pharmacies & departmental stores from April 2015. It is retailing at S$24.90.

Sample Store x Biore Micellar Cleansing Water

I have received yet another goodie from Sample Store. This round time, they have sent me a product by Biore.

I have been a big fan of Biore because of how efficient their products are. I have tried their cleaning sheets and trust me, it's da bombbbbb. Following which, I am currently using their facial cleanser and I am super in love with it. Not only me, my mom and my sister are also fans of Biore!

So today, I am introducing you to the Biore Micellar Cleansing Water. 

This cool cleansing water has cool features which make me fall in love with it the moment I set eyes on it:

• Watery Micellar Technology that effectively dissolves and lifts off all makeup including mascara and eyeliner
• Natural Mineral Water from the Northern Japanese Alps for a gentle and soothing formula
• Enriched Collagen and White Tea Extract for brighter, softer and suppler skin 
• Anti-bacterial formula helps prevent pimples and breakouts, and minimises pores for a clearer and more refined complexion

Just so you know, I have very sensitive skin. Initially I thought that despite all these cool features, my skin would start to itch after removing my makeup. But no, it did not itch a single bit and I am amazed at how soft and clean my face is. 

This lightweight and refreshing makeup remover lifts off more makeup in one wipe! More than what I expected! My waterproof mascara, concealer and foundation came off in that one wipe. After which, my skin feels very refreshed with no sticky or oily feeling.

Usage

Pump an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad

Tip: I used one pump on each pad as I find the amount dispensed is more than enough

For eye makeup, place soaked cotton pad onto closed eyes and hold for 5 seconds before gently wiping off. Yay to no tugging of skin!

• No rinsing is required
• Repeat until all makeup is removed, and cotton pad is clean

This is after one wipe of my eye. Look at how much of the makeup came off!

Look at how clean my face is after using 5 cotton pads to remove makeup from my entire face. Due to hygiene purposes, I used a cotton pad on each eye. Sorry, work hazard. Hahaha.

I bet you are thinking I must be bullshitting on how good this product is right? Not to worry, you can redeem samples from Sample Store and try it out for yourselves. If you feel that this is a gift sent from above after trying, you can always get it from places around you. 

Price: $18.90/300ml

Where to buy: In all pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets, and major departmental stores.

Till next time.

Thank you for reading, xo.
