Beauty Review: Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover

We all loved putting on makeup to cover our flaw and look beautiful. But do you know that removing makeup is important and should not be overlooked in our beauty routine. It removes away the impurities on our skin and to let our skin breathe.

No matter how tired I am after a long day out, I will always remove my makeup thoroughly and cleanse our face.

Introducing you my new favourite makeup remover - Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover.

The new Bioré Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover 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 is so much better than before.

The improved version of Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover has smoother jelly-like texture that is gentle on skin and rinses of easily without any harsh tugging on skin. The makeup remover also contains 40% more moisturising essence which nourishes and hydrates skin for a dewy moisturised finish, leaving our skin feeling refreshed with no sticky after-feel.

Remove the stopper when using the makeup remover. Remember to put the stopper back after use so that you won't accidentally pump out the essence.

Time for experiment. I applied cc cream, eye liner, mascara and gel eye liner.

Pump 2-3 pumps onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area. 

Massage gently to dissolve makeup and rinse thoroughly with water. There is no need to use cotton pad or tissue to remove makeup. 

My review:

I really love the new Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover. It removes all traces of makeup effortlessly, even my mascara too, leaving my skin feeling, smooth clean and refreshing. It does not irritate my eyes or skin, and no tight feeling. Sometimes when I was really tired, I just use the makeup remover for my face. I find that it cleaned my face thoroughly and there is no need to use cleanser thereafter.

Are you interested in getting one as well?

 Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is available at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores and western pharmacies & departmental stores at retail price of $24.90/230ml.

Beauty Review - Biore Micellar Cleansing Water

I love putting on makeup whenever I go out with friends or having events. There were times where I got home late, feeling tired and just want to head to bed quickly. The last thing I want to do is to remove my makeup because it is simply troublesome.

Removing makeup has been a chore for me until I found Biore Micellar Cleansing Water.

The well-known makeup remover brand, Biore, has recently expanded its makeup remover selection through the launch of the New Biore Micellar Cleansing Water.

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water is a water-based Makeup Remover that has high cleansing abilities yet gentle enough for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It can lifts off more traces of makeup in just 1 wipe, including mascara and eyeliner. No rinsing off required.

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water is formulated with Watery Micellar Technology that effectively removes all our makeup. It contains Natural Mineral Water from the Northern Japanese Alps for a gentle and soothing formula.

Being enriched with Collagen and White Tea Extract, skin becomes brighter, softer and suppler. It has anti-bacterial formula that helps prevent pimples and breakouts, and minimises pores for a clearer and more refined complexion.

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water is:

- Oil free 

- Fragrance free 

- Alcohol free 

- Colorant free 

- Non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) 

- Allergy and opthalmologst tested

First, pump an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad.

For eye makeup, place soaked cotton pad onto closed eyes and hold for 5 seconds before gently wiping off.

The result after one single wipe.

With just one wipe, it removed 80% of my eye makeup.

I repeated the steps until all makeup was fully removed.

Use soaked cotton pad to gently wipe of other makeup.

No rinsing required.

My review:

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water effectively removed all my makeup easily without leaving any greasy feeling on my skin. It is gentle on skin, leaving my skin feeling soft. It does not cause any irritation to my eyes or any breakouts on my skin..

I do not need to cleanse my face again after removing my makeup because Biore Micellar Cleansing Water has already did a good job by removing all traces of makeup. It saved up my time for having to go through second round of cleansing.

Biore Micellar Cleansing Water is retailing at $18.90.

It can be found at all pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets, and major departmental stores.

Here's how I look after trying out the 1 Day Magic series. My favourite of all is the eyeliner.

Time for food after the workshop:

We had Salade D’Canard for entree.

Duck confit salad, green bean, shallot and cherry tomato.

For main course, I decided to go with Pancake with a Twist. Mozzarella infused pancake, turkey ham and cheese sauce, grilled bratwurst, and sauerkraut salad.

The pancake and Mozzarella was a perfect combination together with sausage and ham. Every mouth tasted so delicious. I want to visit boathouse and have this again.

Beauty Review: Majolica Majorca Lash King & Perfect Automatic Liner #36

Majolica Majorca is the makeup brand that I always wanted to try. 

I am so happy when I received 2 makeup products from Majolica Majorca for review.

Tadah, I received Majolica Majorca Lash King & Perfect Automatic Liner #36. The packaging is so pretty, I love it so much.

Let me start off with Perfect Automatic Liner #36.

Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner #36 (Limited Edition)

Retail price: $22.90

The water-based dial-type eye liner allows you to easily draw fine, delicate lines or thick, bold lines with its felt pen bristles. Entice with a shimmering pearl color on your eye line!

It is formulated with super fix polymer to give clear and long-lasting eye lines, which is very resistant to perspiration, skin oils and tears. 

Achieve dewy eyes by drawing on the lower lid or a shimmery effect by drawing on the upper lid.

How to use: 

Before using the eyeliner for the first time 

1. Pull out the pink stopper mounted between the cap and the eyeliner. 

2. Press the cap firmly towards the eyeliner completely until there is no gap. 

3. Shake well with the cap on. Remove the cap, gently flatten the edge of the felt-type eyeliner. 

4. Turn the dial about 10 times (10 clicks) before using it.

Before every subsequent use 

- Shake well with the cap on, remove the cap, and turn the dial about 1 or 2 times before using it. 

The brush is very soft and thin, easy to use. Remember to turn the dial so that the colour will come out.

My first pink eyeliner. The colour is pretty unique with shimmer in it.

I applied the automatic liner on my upper eyelid. It resembles glitter eye shadow.

My review:

Perfect Automatic Liner is easy to apply with the smooth and soft brush. The texture is kind of creamy and watery, hence it took awhile to dry up. The pink is very outstanding, I have never tried before pink eyeliner or even eye shadow. The eyeliner is long lasting, it does not smudge or fade away.

The eyeliner is waterproof. The colour still stayed on even after I washed my hand with water.

Majolica Majorca Lash King

Retail price: $25.90

With the newly formulated Lash King, you can achieve king-sized mesmerizing lashes with the 5mm super long fibers. It not only allows you to achieve maximum length, but also maximum volume and fullness with just a single coat. This waterproof formula is also very resistant to sweat, sebum and tears.

Formulated with creamy wax and an increased amount of volume-increasing powder for superb lash adhesion and a clump-free and smooth finishing touch. 

The acrobat catch brush coats the lashes evenly and ensures excellent lash catching and separation effect.

How to use: 

Starting from the roots, apply while lifting upwards, in a zigzag motion. 

For lower lashes, keep brush upright and apply while moving tip of brush sideways. 

See how long my lashes have become with application of 2 coats.

My review:

I am amazed by the lengthening effect of Lash King. It gives a gleaming and volumised effect to my lashes. My eye lashes have always been short. With the application of Lash King, my lashes have  become visible, long and defined. It keeps the shape of my lashes all day long and the fibers stay put. With the long lashes, I wouldn't need to apply fake eyelashes to enhance my eye makeup.

Majolica Majorca Lash King & Perfect Automatic Liner is available at Watsons stores from 26th June ’14 onwards.
