Another Amazing Oil Cleanser

I am a huge fan of oil cleansers, and could rave about them until the cows come home. I brought the MAC one, just because i wanted to try a higher end oil cleanser, and I was doing a MAC order anyway, so I thought why not!

This oil cleanser comes in a tall, slender bottle, with a pump dispenser. The bottle in plastic and see through, and you can see the how much product is left which i love. The bottle is also really sturdy and sits easily anywhere and everywhere. My favourite thing about the design is the fact you can lock the pump feature which means its easy to take this travelling, and this is a feature not many oil cleansers have (even though the need to have it).

This oil is good. Its a slightly yellow colour in the bottle, but once you pump it out is looks transparent. Its quite light and runny, which i like! It has a slight sweet smell to it, with a hint of fruitiness. It actually reminds me of something but I can't place my finger on it.

I use about 2 pumps of this, massage it between my hands and then massage it all over my face and the makeup literally melts off my face, even more stubborn makeup like mascara. I also find when i get this in my eyes (it happens), it doesn't sting or hurt at all which is always good.

This product removes makeup easily, and leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth and soft. The downside to this product is the price, but i do think it beats out my ZA Cleanser.

I will repurchase this when i have the money, but the finances are a little tight at the moment so i won't be able to repurchase it for awhile.

The Body Shop Oil Cleanser is pretty good too if you were wanting to try another one (especially as it is quite a bit cheaper than this one :) )

Close to epic but just falling short. . .

I've tried four oil cleansers, and this one's pretty good, but not the best. I would rate the ZA and Body shop ones above this, personally. I picked up a travel size of this months ago and it's lived in my travel bag ever since. I travel a lot and so this has easily had lots of use in multiple locations.

The packaging is simple, sexy, and effective. The travel size is a green tinged bottle with a pump that simply clicks to the side to lock - and has never leaked on the rest of my toiletries, woohoo!.

The oil is the typical slightly yellowish shade, and a thin consistency - perhaps slightly thicker than the ZA, more like the Body Shop one. You smooth this on to your face and massage it in to melt off makeup and other impurities. This does a fantastic job of taking off all but the heaviest eye makeup, and rinses away cleanly, leaving only a slight residue, which wipes off when you dry your face.

I'm a big fan of oil cleansing and this one does live up to expectations, it's just expensive. The others I mentioned are just as good for much cheaper. So saying, I would buy this again in the travek size, which was maybe $20, just because it's convenient, it travels well, and I know it's going to work.

If you're a MAC fan and don't mind the price tag, I dare say you'll like it too :)

Tips: start with the travel size to see if you like it

MAC Cleanse Off Oil

This was given to me as a gift and probably isn't something I would buy myself due to the price.

However in saying that, I have loved using it! You only need one or two squirts and that covers your whole face. I just use my hands to spread it all over and all over my eyes.

You then need to use another product, tissues, babywipes or water to wash off the oil. It takes off every single bit of your makeup completely, even all eye makeup!

If you can afford would recommend

Tips: Only tip is that its important to wash the oil off properly after otherwise it just sits there and you wake up in the morning with the oil still sitting on your face. For me not so bad as I have dry skin!

Not worth the cost!

For the cost I expected this to glide on and remove make up beautifully... unfortunately not the case. I found it thicker than previous oils I have used and harder to spread. Perhaps I'm so used to micellar water that's why me and this product just didn't 'gel'!

Tips: Save your money!!!!
