Remove your makeup with Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil

Courtesy of Shuuemura-usa.ComI’ve been a great fan of makeup since high school. And, donning heavy makeup requires me to wash my face tediously to completely remove those stubborn, after-party makeup. It really is an ordeal removing traces of foundation, eyeshadow and mascara off my face, that’s why I have a separate makeup remover apart from my regular facial wash. But sometimes I get a little impatient on using too many products, and I wish I had just one ultimate makeup remover to completely remove my makeup in pronto…

There came Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil to my skin care arsenal. I was a bit hesitant buying it at first since it’s made out of oil–it’s the last thing I want my face to be completely covered with! Another thing to consider is that Shu Uemura products are a way too pricey. Yet, after lots of pondering, I finally let go of my scrimping and decided to get Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil in Fresh (pink one) on SALE. Among all four variants, this one is suited for oily skin types. It contains cherry extract which is a natural, gentle exfoliator that refines skin texture and promotes a smooth finish to the skin. Plus, I just so love its pink color, which summons the girliness in me!:P

I regularly use this cleansing oil prior to deep, intense washing using my foaming wash from Mario Badescu or Neutrogena. I was really amazed the moment I first used it since it entirely removed my heavy makeup without having to use other makeup removing products! :) It also completely zapped out traces of my pesky dark eyeshadow and mascara in a jiffy! Even with light makeup on, I religiously use this product to dispel the gunk off my face, leaving me with a fresh, clean skin. Fortunately, it doesn’t cause breakouts since the oil is washed off easily.

Other variants are: High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil (original) for all skin types, Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O (with green tea) for aging skin and High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil in Enriched (orange) for dry skin. Visit Shu Uemura USA for details.

    Hi there! I am also a fan of this! I use the original one though.. I just finished the big bottle stash that I have and will replenish it when I get to HK next week! Yehaa!! Shu items are cheaper in HK than here.. :( Waaaaaaay cheaper.

    I remember getting a sample of this. I was surprised that it worked quickly, better than the other makeup removers I’ve tried. But this made me break out :((
