One of the first things I spent on in Malaysia this time round, is this:

From the Shu Uemura USA website:

a refreshing, radiance-enhancing skin purifier that thoroughly cleanses the skin while respecting its integral balance. Removes waterproof makeup.

I really was sorta walking around aimlessly that day, and Shu Uemura happened to have some promotion thingy on their falsies. I told the sales girl that I wasn't interested in them, and she recommended this to me.
I really was quite skeptical la, having had enough experience with beauty products that don't work. But the demo the girl gave me was quite encouraging, seeing how all traces of the lipstick mark she had drawn on the back of my hand vanished after the wash.

But it's quite wasteful also though, she told me to use FOUR full pumps when I have make-up on, and three when I don't. I can hardly contain all that oil in my hand.. And at RM99 for 150 ml, it's certainly not economical.
I've lowered it down to like one pump when I have no make-up on, heeeh.

Overall I really like this. It really removes all make-up, which is crucial for me as I break-out like crazy if I don't remove foundation properly. I do, however, get the feeling that I cant remove all the cleanser even after repeated rinsing, but it doesn't break me out or anything (so far), and this cleanser does leave my skin soft, which makes make-up look much better.

Oh oh and I also really like the washing method, which involves putting the oil on, then slowly emulsifying it into a milk. Quite fun la, keeps me motivated to wash my face properly.

The best part is, I think the stubborn blackheads on my nose are clearing up!

Now I can slather on make-up like a geisha without worrying about removing later..
