Etude House

For the price and the efficiency of this mascara remover, this is definitely an Yes! On repurchase for me. I generally prefer oil cleansers to remove eye makeup, but after getting a sample of this, I was amazed how easy it was to remove my mascara. I put it in a small container to take along with me on short trips. I especially like to remove false lashes with this. It doesn’t really take a lot of rubbing, and although it is oily, the film it leaves can easily be washed away with tap water.

I got this in JPK002. The description on Soko Glam mentions these as matte, so I had been expecting that type of lipstick to arrive. However, I didn't realize "jelly" under the color I selected meant it would be shiny and slippery. I assumed it was part of the color description.

Still, I'm not rating this badly over the confusion. This lipstick ended up drying me out, and the color would cling to the dry areas. I loved the shade, a gentle bright pink against my pale skin. The packaging is pretty too, but I ultimately care about a lipstick lasting on my lips without drying them out too badly. This unfortunately failed in both of those areas for me.

I was looking for an inexpensive primer after I ran out of my Milani and discovered that they weren't selling it on Amazon Canada anymore. I came across this one and was encouraged by the reviews so I decided to take a change. I got it in the mail just in time for New Year's Even so I used this for my NYE party and even after several hours of eating, drinking and general partying, my blue smokey eye looked perfect and the color hadn't faded one bit!
My only quibble is the packaging; I wish it weren't bulb shaped because I can see this getting annoying when I'm trying to scrape out the last bits of product. But I needed very little product to make my eye look last and last so that's an added bonus. I will definitely repurchase this because it did just as good a job as my Milani as well as Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

My husband gave me this cleansing oil, knowing I was a devotee of my Shu Uemura Porefinist cleansing oil. I love it. This oil cleanses just as well as the Shu, leaves my skin soft and clean, doesn’t cause me irritations (to skin or eyes), takes off all of my waterproof makeup easily, feels very pleasant while using (glides on skin easily but has an oily enough consistency), and doesn’t leave me with temporarily blurry eyes at all. I have run out now and I will repurchase. I am using the Shu Uemura blanc:chroma cleansing oil in the meantime, and while I like it, it is thicker and leaves my eyes super blurry. I miss my Real Art.

Overall, this is a great product; it's just a bit too drying for my dehydrated skin type. Not the product's fault at all, since the La Roche Posay Toleriane Gentle Hydrating Cleanser that Skin Care Board tends to love is also too drying for me.

Gentle, unscented, simple cleanser with a fun pump that produces quite a bit of foam. This isn't going to remove silicone-heavy makeup or sunscreen, but as a morning or second cleanser, I'd definitely recommend it to normal to oily skin types.

Although the formula and feel is different from the LRP I mentioned above, it leaves about the same skin feel, perhaps VERY slightly more drying than the LRP. It didn't irritate my skin at all, which is a huge bonus, and so I'd definitely recommend it! It's just not the right fit for my personal skin type at the moment.
