Bioré Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover Review (ad)

*happy dance* was so delighted to find out that I'd be getting THIS to review - I HEART BIORE!!!

I've always been a huge fan of Bioré, I use their makeup remover wipes and body wipes all the time when I'm travelling. I think when you travel, you need to ensure whatever small amount of stuff (that's why it's called travel-sized, mirite LOL) WORKS!

Here's the bottle I got to review - AND THE PACKAGING IS PINK! +5 points LOL

Look at how huge a bottle is - $24.90/230ml

What I love about Japanese products is that they're constantly improving themselves. Bioré already has so many makeup cleansers out there but they want to ensure they're top of the pack!

Improved Product Benefits

• Smoother jelly-like texture is gentle on skin and rinses off easily and quickly without any harsh tugging or pulling action on skin.
• High cleansing ability dissolves and lifts off all traces of makeup effortlessly.
• Made with 40% more moisturising essence nourishes and hydrates skin for a dewy moisturised finish.
• Lightweight formula leaves skin feeling refreshed, with no sticky or greasy after-feel. 

I took photos while I was cleansing, to show you how it works, (and how much I love it HAHA). Also, my bathroom's a mess, so focus on my face okay :P Somehow I can't open the .jpg images on my macbook to edit :(

Selfie with makeup - I touched up my makeup at the end of the day to show you the full effect!

Wearing Marc by Marc Jacobs bright red Showstopper lippie to show you a more drastic effect!

Selfie with the bottle~~ It's basically the size of my face lol

So, how do you use it?

Usage Directions

1. Pump an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps) onto hands and spread evenly over face and eye area. 
2. Massage gently to dissolve makeup. 
3. Rinse thoroughly with water. It is not necessary to remove cleansing liquid with cotton pad or tissue. 
4. For best results, apply on dry face and hands. Do not use facial cotton pad or tissue. 

Dry face and hands, checked!

Another random selfie - you can spot my hello kitty toothbrush holder in the bg HAHA (100Yen from Japan's Daiso!!)

Pin up hair to ensure it's not in the way

Pump 2 - 3 times on your hands and then gently massage/ I usually pump once then massage, to ensure that I don't waste the product! I do this 2 - 3 times :)

Works on eye and lip makeup as well!!! 

Rinse off

TADA - All fresh and clean!

What I love is that it's suitable for all skin types - you can share with your sisters/mom! And the fact that you don't have to use cotton pads - before this, I was using Clarins (gift from my aunt), which needed me to use cotton pads. I feel that cotton pads absorb more product than they disperse, hence I always try to use my hands instead.

I also love the fact that I can use it to remove stubborn eye makeup - I use SASA Cybercolours waterproof mascara, which really doesn't budge, and it comes off quickly with this remover! I no longer have to buy separate eye makeup remover, which is great! And it doesn't sting your eyes, a huge plus! How many times have you carefully avoided your eye area, only to feel your eyes sting cos you suck at avoiding the eye area? *raises hands in the air* ME!

When I first got the product, I must admit I was confused - the product dispensed is like an oil, not jelly, as the name states. So I was disappointed - HOWEVER, IT'S JELLY IN THE BEST REASON - it doesn't feel like oil despite having an oil-like consistency - IT FEELS LIKE JELLY ON MY SKIN. LIKE IM USING JELLY TO CLEAN MY FACE - super gentle and totally doesn't tug on my skin whatsoever!!! 

Get yours today! Bioré Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is available at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores and western pharmacies & departmental stores from April 2015!!!
