Bows,Braids & Cakes: Shu Uemura -Cleansing Beauty Oil

Hey!

One day I ran out of my makeup remover so I was having a look at my mum's skincare products and I came across Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil Premium A/O.

I had never used oil in my face, and because I tend to have breakouts, I was very scared to use it, but had no other choice as I try to always remove my makeup before I go to bed.

It worked so well for my skin that the next day I went to buy one for myself! The lady at the counter suggested me the Premium A/O oil, which contains anti-oxidant ingredients and helps to hydrate the skin.

As you can see, I have used it almost all up, it has lasted me for about four months but I there is still quite a lot to use! I don't use it every day, just when I need to remove any makeup I might be wearing. I bought the 150ml bottle, because it is easier to pack when I am travelling.

In the pictures I have some mascara, concealer and lipstick on my hand to show you how easy it is to use the cleansing oil.

You first apply the oil on dry face and massage it all over your face..yes even the eyes, don't worry it wont burn your eyes, it is ophthalmologically tested!

Your face might be smudgy now but just rinse with water and see the results.....!!

My hand is perfectly clean, all makeup is gone!
However, I would suggest to double wash your face just to make sure everything is gone and your pores are clean. So after using Shu Uemura Oil I always use a gentle cleanser, like Cetaphil which I talked about on my previous post.

A brief summary

Pros:

removes EVERYTHING very efficiently (makeup, creams, spots treatments..)
only needs 1/2 pump (or less) for the whole face
doesn't irritate the eyes
nice texture
doesn't dry skin
no scent
emulsifies very quickly and nicely
didn't cause my to breakout
big bottle and affordable
the packaging is pretty (limited edition bottles)

Cons:

I wouldn't use it if I had acne, very oily skin or was having a breakout
you always have to wash very well with water
although after using it, I feel my skin moisturized and NOT greasy, I always to do a second wash with a gentle cleaner

Each cleansing oil is suitable for a different type of skin!
