Nature by Canus All Natural Moisturizing Facial Cleansing Milk & Make-up Remover

Hello everyone!

Hope you had a lovely Saturday. I did and now it's time to get some good night rest. But before hopping to bed, I made sure that I've removed all the makeup I applied. I'm currently using this product I bought on a huge discount at Beauty Bar some months ago...

Nature by Canus All Natural Moisturizing Facial Cleansing Milk & Make-up Remover

Phew. That was long. Haha!
Original price was Php 950.00 and I got it for Php 200+.

I'm not familiar with this brand when I bought it. I was just curious what it's all about and since it was discounted, I just bought it. I use makeup removers every time I wear makeup (which is very often) so I'm sure it will be useful to me.

Anyway, here are the product info from the label:

A special blend of Shea and Palm Butter protects and aids in cell regeneration, while maintaining skin's natural pH balance.

Made in Canada

The product is in a pump bottle and I really like that because it is easier to use and you can control the product you get. For the design, I'm not really a fan. I find it too crowded. :P

Here's how it looks. It's creamy but it's not really thick... it's like cold cream but kinda runny. It is fragrance-free too.

I bought it mainly because it is a makeup remover and not really because it promises to be moisturizing. I have oily skin so I don't mind it if my makeup remover doesn't give that extra benefit. I use it just like how it was instructed on the label: I wet my face, massage the product, BUT I wipe it off with tissue first then I cleanse it for a second time, then rinse it off. I find that more effective in getting rid of all the makeup I had on. 

The product is very gentle. Even if I get some in my eye, it doesn't sting so it's great for removing eye makeup. It does a great job in removing my waterproof eyeliners, but for waterproof mascaras like those from Majolica Majorca and Heroine Make, I need to do some extra effort because those are just hard to remove with any cleanser/makeup remover. 
Even if I use it twice to remove all the makeup, I don't feel like my skin is drying at all. I never encountered any irritations nor breakouts with it. I really like the product because it is so gentle and yet can remove waterproof makeup. I definitely recommend you check it out and try it. :)


Cheers,

Review: Bifesta Cleansing Lotion

Hello ladies!

This is actually a long overdue reply review for Ms. Iya Boto...

So, sorry to keep you waiting for this review... but here we go.

I used to always use Cetaphil lotion for removing my make up... but then I started to not like the feeling of lotion on my eyes and I started to notice that I'm not really able to get all the make-up off, and I keep rubbing my eyes just to get all the products off them.

So I turned to our ever favorite make-up artist for advise and found this little video:

I initially wanted to buy Bioderma, since well, that's what she's using. But it is really hard to find locally and I'm not too great at buying stuff online (plus I don't have any means to pay for online purchases). So I scoured for a water-base make up remover that was cheap enough for my budget but is good enough for eye make-up removal.

Then Dawn told me about Bifesta. We bought ours at Landmark in Makati. I'm not sure if you can find it in other branches. Anyway, I would have to say that it's performance is quite comparable to Bioderma. 

I follow Lisa's eye make-up removal routine using Bifesta and I find that it pretty much wipes my eyes clean, no nasty residue that looks like you smudged your eyeliner or you cried with your make up on. It just depends on how long you keep the wet pad onto your eye.

So let's go point by point.

1. Does it remove waterproof mascaras or any waterproof make-up at that?

- yes it does. It just depends on how long you keep the wet cotton pad pressed onto your eyes... The longer the better. And if you're not the nagtitipid type, 3-4 pumps would be awesome. But if you're planning on making it last... stick to 1-2 pumps and press it on for longer.

2. Does it remove fake eye lashes?

-yes, it melts the glue very efficiently for that very smooth, no ouch removal of your fake lashes.

3. Can it remove really brightly colored lipstick?

-yes, it wipes your lips clean as a whistle. But I'd advise you to wash your lips with water afterwards as the after taste isn't so nice. :)

The Bifesta line comes in four formulas: Moist (for dry and sensitive skin), Sebum (for combination-oily), Brightup (for dull and flaky skin), and Agecare (for mature skin).

I'm using the Sebum one, although I'm currently using it for eye make-up removal only and rarely for my face since I use cleansing oils for that... but this is also a great product to use for the whole of your face just depends on how you want to use it I guess. :)

So there you go. Our short review for the day! I'm celebrating my last day of exam with a good nap so off with my make up. :)

Cheers,
