Affordable and Effective: The Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water Jelly Makeup Remover is a one step cleanser

November 4, 2016 Paris B 14 Comments

When I saw that this Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water Jelly Makeup Remover was selling in the UK for more than DOUBLE what it costs at a local pharmacy here, I confess to letting out a manic mad-scientist howl of laughter. I let out the very same howl of laughter when I came across the last Bio-Essence product that I thought was awful, nevermind the crazy raves it was getting, for reasons unknown to me.

But when I saw it on sale one day, I decided to give it a go. The idea of a “Jelly Makeup Remover” interested me, and I love nothing more than to debunk cult statuses of products 😀

And then I promptly forgot about it LOL! Oh yes, I’m kind of horrible that way.

It wasn’t until I got round to chatting with a friend, Suzanne, who told me that this was her holy grail makeup remover, that she stocked up on at every opportunity, sweeping pharmacy shelves clean of it whenever she spots it. I gave her the side-eye. Erm. Really? 😛

When I got home, I headed straight for my skincare cupboard, because at the back of my mind, I had that niggling feeling that I had this. I just needed to find the damn thing! And find it I did and I think I understand why she liked it.

That affordable Bio-essence Hydra Tri-action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask with the oversized cult status

July 24, 2015 Paris B 42 Comments

Here’s a funny thing. Bio-Essence is a brand from Singapore available locally in most pharmacies and has been available for years and years. I’d actually watched the brand launch from Day 1 (almost) and truth be told, knowing their origins, I was never very sold on their products or claims so I’ve never tried their products.

Yet, when I saw that this very same product was being sold at almost TRIPLE its price online in the UK, and been given cult status by “gurus” no less, I had to see what the fuss was about! Tsk. The power of suggestion eh?

This, which to give it its full title, is the very wordy Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask *takes deep breath* and the cult status product in question. This is sold at £29 online here which at today’s exchange rate is about RM172. It retails at local pharmacies at RM70 (£11) or so and it could even be much less when it goes on sale, which is often. I purchased this at about RM55 (£9) or thereabouts!

I basically stood in the aisle at Watson’s pharmacy giggling dementedly to myself when I saw the price. I think the sales person left me alone because I looked off my rocker LOL! 😀 This must be what people must feel like when they go to Europe/France and see how cheap French pharmacy skincare is, and how much more expensive they are in other parts of the world or online.

But the big question isn’t about the price, it’s about whether I feel this deserves its raves as a cult product.

Spent a lovely few hours today learning about the Spent a lovely few hours today learning about the new @omorovicza Queen Essence. A delicious velvety silky textured liquid that absorbs into the skin, boosting its hydration and absorption properties. Your skincare that goes on after that sinks right in to maximise the benefits for your skin. It felt lush! 🥰
Also learnt about the Queen collection with a Cleansing Balm (hello! Did anyone say cleansing balm?!) and Cream and a Night Facial Mist. I have to say I’m most intrigued by the cleansing balm and the mask so I’ll probably have a look at those next time I have the chance 😁
