Eau Thermale Avène Micellar Lotion Review + Event Photos

Did you ever feel like going straight to your bed after your long day at school or work? But then you realized that you still have your makeup on? I know, right?

Due to my late schedule in school, I always end up going home later than usual. And when I get home, all want to do is lie on my bed and go to sleep. However, I should at least remove my makeup before anything. If I am wearing a waterproof eyeliner and mascara, removing it will take a few more minutes. I have to grab my oil-based makeup remover, and wash my face afterwards (and wash away my sleepiness altogether). But now that Eau Thermale Avène Micellar Lotion has a new No rinse formula, two minutes is all I need to completely remove and clean my face!

Eau Thermale Avène’s New Formula Micellar Lotion has a top-of-the-line makeup removing efficacy. Its micellar cleansing agent captures skin impurities like a magnet. It is proven effective on waterproof and long-lasting cosmetic products applied on the face, eyes and lips. Its upgraded Micellar Lotion has a unique formula that adapts to even the most sensitive skin.

Avène Micellar Lotion, although not oil-based, can remove even the most stubborn makeup you have and does not feel sticky at all. Now that it has a new formula, you don’t have to rinse it after removing your makeup. It has 93% Avène Thermale Spring Water content that makes the skin softer, smoother, and restores its natural balance.

Because my makeup focuses on the eyes, this is the part that I remove first. Remember: Don’t just swipe your eye makeup remover in haste. Place a cotton ball with remover over your lids, hold it for a minute to dissolve the product, and then wipe away.  

Four to five drops of Avène Micellar Lotion is enough to remove my eye makeup. I usually have a hard time removing my eyeliner (because of I always tight line my eyes), but with Avène Micellar Lotion, I can get all the eyeliner on my eyes in two swipes. No traces of makeup left.

Another strong point of Avène Micellar Lotion is that it doesn’t sting. So, if ever you use too much of the micellar lotion, you won’t feel anything, especially on the eye area. It also contains healing properties—soothing, anti-irritating and anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-free radicals—that make it suitable for allergic reactions, burning, stinging, itching and tingling sensations.

With Avène Micellar Lotion, I don’t have to worry about my skin being dry after cleansing, because of its hydrating action. It’s really perfect during lazy days, when you don’t want to get up and wash your face, this Micellar lotion will do the cleansing and moisturizing for you.

I thought you might want to see a few photos during the launching of Avène Micellar Lotion at Salon Beauvior in Makati.

Lancôme Bi-Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser

Remember when we attended the Lancôme Hypnose Show by Albert Elbaz event (click here to know more about the event) a couple of months ago? I mentioned there that I got to take home 2 sets of freebies. Those sets include this one, a sample of Lancôme Bi-Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser. 

Honestly, I used it three or four times only ever since I got this makeup remover. Not just because I still have a lot left of my Skin Food Milk Shake Point Make-up Remover but I'm saving the best for last. With that limited times of usage, I should say that I can already give you a reliable review of this product. This'll be a short and quick review though, since the one I have is only a sample. 

PRODUCT INFO:

 BRAND: Lancôme

 NAME: Bi Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser (sample size)

NET Wt: 15ml(sample) 125ml(full size)

MADE in FRANCE

PRICE: Around USD21.00

WHERE to BUY: Refer to Lancôme Philippines Facebook for their branches

DESCRIPTION: Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive and contact lense wearers.

Rediscover purity. Your skin breathes, naturally beautiful. For all types of make-up, including waterproof. 

Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. 

This make-up remover for sensitive eyes removes all traces of eye make-up immediately and gently, with no oily residue. By combining the effects of its oily phase and water phase, it gently eliminates all traces of make-up, even water-resistant.

If you will research this on google, you will see that this sample is so much look alike of its full size. It's in a sturdy little plastic tube and a grey lid with the logo of Lancôme embossed on it. It's cute, in short lol.

A little goes a long way. With this amount of product, it can totally remove all the makeup I have on. So basically, the sample will take me a long time to finish. 

These eye liners are the ones that are so hard to remove by my current makeup remover. They are smudge & water proof. And as you can see on the third photo that after I first swiped it, the makeup is almost gone, but there was a remaining purple lines on my outer eye.

After I swipe it again, tadaa~ no more eye makeup onsight. It's completely clean! 

VERDICT: I only removed my eye makeup yet if you will look closely, you will notice that there is still a lot left on the cotton. And I swear that it'll remove all your remaining makeups. You don't have to harshly rub your eye in order to remove all your makeup. Has a mild floral scent and very calming sensation; not cold and not hot either. It's just as if you mix a tiny drop of oil with water. Unlike some oil based makeup removers that makes your eyes blur when removing your makeup, expect it not to happen with this one. No irritation, no anything! There might be a little oily feeling after usage but it can easily remove by wiping it with any dry cloth/tissue/cotton.

This 15ml sample of Bi-Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser will probably take me a half or a month to finally empty it. Since I have two of this, then I guess there won't be a makeup remover shortage here for almost two months.

What is your current make-up remover? 

REVIEW: SKINFOOD MILK SHAKE POINT MAKE-UP REMOVER

Hello gorgeousness! Now I present to you my ultimate love, the Skin food milk shake point make-up remover LOL. I have read many good reviews about this one and after Koreadepart had ask me to choose the next products for review this is the first on my list. And yes, it does not disappoint me yet it made me fall in love with its performance. Wanna know why? then continue reading as I move on to my review.

Brand: Skin Food

Product: Milk shake point make-up remover

Net Wt: 160ml

Price: 7.73 USD - Approx. 317Php on Koreadepart (and around 950Php here in Philippines >.<)

Milk Shake Point Make-up Remover is a two-layered shaking-type point makeup remover with milk extracts like milkshake with rich and white foam to smoothly remove makeup in eye and lip areas gently without stimulus and dryness.
This product is designed to be effective for sensitive areas, particularly around the lips and eyes.

Skinfood's milk shake point makeup remover really impressed me in a way that it made me fall in love with it LOL. I have been searching for the best yet high-end make-up remover and yes, I think I found the one. This makeup remover makes my skin very clean and does not leave any residue at all. With just one swept away it will removed all your makeup so no more rubbing aggressively just to make sure that your makeup was all gone. A little amount will goes a long way. Its scent is very relaxing too, just as its name says it really do smell and feel like milk. Remember to shake it before using. It was divided into two parts as you can see to the first photo above there's a white and blue colors in it, I think that the blue part was the oil and the white is the milk part i'm actually not sure hehehe.

This product is really a good choice and i'd say that it just so perfect for me that I can't find any qualms about it. You should try it too!

Review: The Face Shop Herb Day Lip & Eye Make up Remover

Hello lovelies~! It's been awhile since my last review post right? I've been stocked up reading Mangas' again >.< Imagine, the whole month of October I only have 6 posts? Argh, and because of that there are lots and lots of products to reviews. Including this one....

Koreadepart sent me the second sponsored box, if you are my friend on facebook you might have seen what are the items that Koreadepart gave me. Moving on to my review...

Product Name: Herb Day Lip & Eye Make-up Remover
 Brand: The Face Shop
 Price: 2.93 USD ~ 175Php

The Claims:Mild yet thorough lip & eye cleansing pads with plant extractsSaturated in herbal cleansing complex with Cassia Extract, these make up remover pads are made to provide gentle cleansing for eye area.DIRECTIONS: Gently press pads on eyelids and lips as needed. Leave on for 10-20 seconds and remove make up using gentle sweeping motion. Rinse with water.

 

I wanted to try this make-up remover for a very long time and thanks to Koreadepart for giving me the chance to try them. Oh well, this make-up remover is different from my usual make-up remover which was Etude house Lip & Eye Remover, this one is in tissue type. I am using this for a week now and I can say that this tissue really did a great job *thumbs up*. As you can see to its performance above, with just one swipe it removes all that's on my hands but as you can also see the Sasatinnie Mascara was not removed totally but that's no big deal, just swipe the tissue again and it will erase the remaining make-up left. 

But what I like about this one is that it is very portable,it will not take too much space on your kikay kit. This really works even on waterproof eyeliner and mascaras, also looks and feels like wipes. Also very cheap for a high-quality make-up remover. But its just that I don't like its scent it smells like a lil bit of alcohol with some unknown herb specially when I also uses it to remove lispticks, I somehow feel like I am tasting it. LOL but thank God it does not dry out my lips.

This product is highly recommended!

Again, Big thanks to Koreadepart! Visit their store for more Korean brands!

See you on my next post! ♥
