For full post and images: Is the Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating Makeup Remover a Cleansing Oil? Not Quite…

Last month I showed you my new purchase – the Hada Labo Hydrating Makeup Remover. I got it purchased from Singapore and I initially thought it was a cleansing oil. Turns out it isn’t. Not quite anyway.

The Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydaring Makeup Remover is like a gel in texture. Its transparent (its the bottle that’s blue not the gel) and rather thick and viscous. Threw me for a loop the first time I used it. I was expecting oil to pump out.

That said, this makeup remover is used the same way as that of cleansing oil i.e. on a dry face. Its easy to use:-

• Pump out 2-3 pumps of makeup remover onto dry hands
• Apply all over onto dry face, massaging into skin to remove makeup
• Add water bit by bit to emulsify and repeat until clean

Does it work well to remove makeup?

For full post and images: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer : Its more than just primer!

The Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer needs no introduction. Oh wait. You haven’t heard of it? Oh dear… let’s remedy that

Just as the name implies, its a makeup primer. Use it before you apply foundation because what it does is fill up all the pores and give you a smooth finish so your foundation goes on smoothly and looks air brushed. It also has oil control qualities so if you have been having problems getting your makeup to stay on, look no further than the Photo Finish foundation primer.

However, it would do to note that the primer is nearly completely silicone based so if you are sensitive to silicones, and prone to break out from it, stay far far away. I’m not, and I do like this primer. Well, I was going to buy the full size, after trying the trial sized one that came in the set, but I’m rethinking it for reasons I will share below.
