Review: Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil

Cleansing oil had been a staple in my cleansing routine ever since I learned the importance of double cleansing. It may sound weird for an oily skin to be splattered with oil. Don't you think that would be too much? Well the only way to combat oil is by using oil also. My first cleansing oil was from Elianto (my review) which was good. I did not bought another bottle of it since I want a new one and good thing I found a cheaper yet effective one. Introducing the Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil.


My say:
Performance: 5/5 stars
Packaging: 4/5 stars
Pricing: 4/5 stars

It's been with me for almost 7 months :) Yes, cleansing oil lasts for half a year for me. 2-3 pumps are enough for my entire face. The oil is less thicker compare to Elianto. It does remove make-up effectively and it didn't made me broke out. It doesn't have a strong scent and I barely noticed the scent. No oily feeling after. I don't understand anything on the bottle since it is written in foreign language ( Nihongo I think since it is made in Japan). It is big enough for longer usage :) The bottle comes in transparent blue/pink pump bottle. This isn't good to bring along especially when you are traveling. I can't remember how much I bought this but I believe this is cheap in Japan compare to the famous Shu. I'm not buying this for the mean time since I wanted to try other cleansing oil. It is quite boring to use the same cleansing oil for the next 6 months. I'm thinking of getting the Etude House Dream Cleansing Oil but it is always go out of stock. But I'm currently using a Nature Republic cleansing oil (sample size and I'll review it soon) until I get my hands on Etude House :)

Time flies by so fast. It's mid-week already! Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the week :)

Review: Elianto Honey Cleansing Oil

Weekend just seem to pass by. The last thing I know I have to hurry to make it to our Monday/Weekly Flag Ceremony. This is the life of a government employee on a Monday ;) I really did not have a complete rest last weekend. I was out the whole two days. I even went to the office to do some overtimes :( But they are now just past and I have to move on :) (positive!) Anyways what better to do on a Monday is to review a product that I'm completely done with. What is this product? Did I like it? Will I buy it again? Without any further ado, let me introduce you to my cleansing oil for almost 6 months, Elianto Honey Cleansing Oil.







This is my first ever cleansing oil. I've never used cleansing oil before. Facial wash cleanser was enough for me. I thought this was for dry skin since it's an oil-based cleanser and my skin is oily. I was just laughing at it. Oil for an oily skin?!? No way! I was that naive then. One day out of clicking and clicking and clicking my mouse, I got to a site about cleansing oil. And boom! I got hooked up:)

Elianto Honey Cleansing Oil is a rinse-off oil-based cleanser especially formulated for quick and easy removal of long wearing makeup, clear skin impurities and clogged pores while maintaining skin's moisture and smoothness. This is for combination and oily skin. 


My say:
Performance: 4/5 stars
Package: 4/5
Price: 5/5


Yes, I've been using this for almost 6 months. I did like this cleanser. It is a decent make-up remover. It did not sting my eyes and no breakouts:) Well, there were times I broke out but I didn't blame this cleanser because it was plainly hormonal issue. My only problem with this is that there is an oily feeling after using it that you still need to use a facial wash after it. Well, it is written on the package also that you need to use a facial cleanser after using it. So this means, double-cleansing. The packaging was good but you need an extra bottle if you need to bring this along with you. This seems to be the problem with cleansing oil. They are not made for you to bring along :( This is way cheaper than Shu Uemura. I think I bought this at around Php500 with discount (on sale at that time, I just can't really remember the exact price). The question now: will i buy it again? Maybe. I just bought a new cleansing oil and it's Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil. I'll give my review on this cleansing oil soon. :)


Take care:)
