Baviphat Two Times BB Cleansing Oil – Is it 2 times as good?

September 8, 2010 Paris B 19 Comments

After my initial foray into Baviphat, it would appear that I’m not quite enamoured with the 2 things I’ve tried – Juicy Mask and the Apple Jelly Lip Scrub. The last item I purchased from Baviphat was the Two Times BB Cleansing Oil. Might it fare better than the other things I tried?

baviphat two times bb cleansing oil review

The bottle is cute – it reminds me of a bottle of olive oil for some reason. You might want to hold that thought because we’ll be coming back to it 😉

It looks small but holds 150ml of liquid so that isn’t that bad. Also, the cleansing oil is very liquid. If you are used to the texture of cleansing oils like Shu Uemura, you will be surprised to find that this one pumps out like water so don’t use too much. 2 pumps about does it for my whole face.

I use it the usual way I use cleansing oils – on dry face and then emulsify with water as I go along. I’ve shared how to properly use cleansing oil in an earlier post.

It cleans my skin a treat and removes makeup well. It also doesn’t dry out my skin but I did feel like it took a lot longer to emulsify and wash off than other oils I’m used to. I spent a long time in the shower going over and over but it still felt like there was a thin film of oil on my skin – nothing a bit of double cleansing can’t solve of course.

Is that why they call it “Two Times BB Cleansing Oil”? Because you have to wash your face twice? 😛

However, what I found hard to get used to is the smell. Remember I said the bottle looked like a bottle of oil? The smell reminds me of petrol. If you are familiar with the smell of petrol fumes that you get when you go to a petrol station (here in Malaysia anyway) you will know what I mean. The smell of this cleansing oil sent me straight to the petrol station!

Can you say argh!? 😛

Price wise, RM39.90 for 150ml of cleansing oil isn’t bad really. It’ll last you quite a while – looks can be deceptive. But only get it after you have taken a big whiff of it at the counter – I should have 😛

Pros: Affordable, Cleans off makeup easily, Does not dry out my skin

Cons: Smell takes getting used to, Took a while to clean off properly, Double cleansing is recommended

Might you have tried this one? I’ve not been taken with anything I’ve tried from Baviphat so far and although I know that the BB creams seem to get high marks from online reviews, I’m not into BB creams so I probably wouldn’t try it.

Have you found anything noteworthy from Baviphat Cosmetics?

Baviphat Two Times BB Cleansing Oil retails at RM39.90/150ml at Baviphat counters at Parkson Pavilion and Parkson Sungei Wang Plaza.

    The bottle was all cute and made me perk up as I’m always on the lookout for cleansing oil alternatives. But petrol smell? Can’t even imagine putting on the face, you’d think the might want to put a more pleasant smell for a beauty product and not remind us of the petrol station!

    eeeeeeee petrol smell is definitely not something that i would like or get used to. i should prob recommend this to my friend who is an addict of petrol smell. As for baviphat, i think i only sort of like their sheet masks. Other than the really cute packaging, havent found anything really impressive .

    I love their cosmetic bags. They are very similar to Benefit’s, but the quality of Benefit’s seems better/sturdier. I do like the additional plastic flap which Baviphat has for the brushes though, and of course, the pictures!

      Hmm… I never paid attention to their cosmetic bags but I seem to recall them looking remarkably like that of Benefit’s. Glad there’s one thing to like in this brand 😉

      Some people don’t subscribe to the double cleansing method because they prefer something that cleans in one go. This one definitely needs it!

    As weird as it sounds, I love the smell of petrol… haha… but if the cleansing oil smells like petrol then that’s bad…

    I like the sheet mask!! Not sure whether they sell this line here in Malaysia… It was only US$ 1 for a piece!! It was hydrating, made my pores cleaner and best of all NO ITCHINESS/RASHES/ or any sort of bad reaction!! The mask is for pore care…. The mask packet picture was of a famous korean band, FT Island…

    My aunt used some fruit mask sold in little cute plastic fruits like yr lip scrub… She said it was VERY good!! Kept asking me to try, which I have yet to… hahaha… I think u have it… It’s the samples the SA gave u… the one with the cute apple, peach, and mango cartoon characters on them…

Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
