'Hyaluronic acid' can constantly rehydrate and moisturize skin even in any condition of humidity.

The delicate lather gives your smooth and fresh finish while surely washing off the impurities in pores and gently removes excess oil.

Put a proper amount of the cleansing foam on hand and lather it up with water. Apply on face and massage gently. Rinse well with water.





Colour White
Texture creamy with dense bubbles when lathered
Smell scentless
Squeekiness medium

I use this product after using cleansing oil at night or as the first step in the morning. I lather a bit of this cleanser with water to produce bubbles and apply in circular motion onto wet face. Finally, I rinse off the cleanser with water at least 7 times.

I like this cleanser. It makes my skin clean without the tight feeling. My skin does not feel dry. It doesn't really have any particular scent. It foams well even when I only use a little bit to lather with water. I think a tube can last pretty long. I couldn't see much of a difference while using this product, but I didn't break out, which is a great thing itself! :D It also wasn't expensive when ordered from sasa.com.

☼ clean without the tight feeling
☼ skin isn't dried out
☼ a little lathers up well
☼ lasts pretty long
☼ cheap
☼ no break outs! ❤❤❤
☀ no other effects on my skin

I would repurchase this till I can find one that doesn't break me out and provides other functions :)

Review : Shiseido Senka Perfect Watery Oil

Hello!



Product Type Cleansing Oil
Price RM 49.90 
Size 230 ml

Description

Contains "Moist Cleansing", a cleansing ingredient made from moisturizers. Gently and thoroughly cleanse with Watery Oil.
  • Gently and easily remove dirt deep within pores and hard to remove mascara without any scrubbing
  • Can be used in the bath with wet hands or face
  • Easy to rinse off with no oily residue
  • Moist skin afterwards, as it protects skin's natural oil
Contains sebum remover and beauty essence (moisturizer)

Directions

1. Press pump 4 times and blend onto face with makeup
2. Rinse completely with cold or lukewarm water
3. If hands or face is too wet, wipe excess water before use

Ingredients

Mineral Oil, PEG-8 Glyceryl Isostearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Isododecane, Water, Isostrearic Acid, Ethylhexyl palmitate, Glycerin, Alcohol, Fragrance, BHT, Phytosteryl / Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Tocopherol


Colour Clear
Texture Oily
Smell light fruity (?) smell
Squeekiness low

I only use 2 pumps although the instructions say to use 4. I think 2 is enough for my face. After applying and massaging my dry face, I moisten my hand with water and massage my face in circular motion to emulsify the oil. Then I rinse my face with water for around 10 times. After no residue is left, I continue with my facial wash. I only use this at night.

I got this as a birthday present from my sisters :D I think it does a good job for double cleansing. My skin does not feel oily or tight, just clean and moist after using this. I do not break out too. I have used this to remove make up and it does it's job pretty well (I use point makeup remover for eyes and lips). When the product enters my eyes, my vision clouds but there is no pain. After a minute or two, my eyes tear up and begin to sting. All is well after I rinse my eyes. I have been using it for 3 months and there is a bit more than half left. So I think I can safely say that a bottle can last for at least half a year (with 2 pumps each use).

My sister has been using another brand of cleansing oil with half a bottle left after 9 months of usage! Check out her review on it here!

☼ feels clean, moist
☼ no oily or tight feeling
☼ no break out
☼ removes face makeup well
☀ not long-lasting
☀ pricey
☀ clouds vision, stings after awhile

I would not repurchase this due to the price and it doesn't last long :(

Green Grass

They lay on the patch of green grass in a small clearing of a forest near their house, looking into each others’ wrinkly eyes lovingly. They were reminiscing on their past, how they met, how they fell in love and got married despite the number of obstacles they have faced. They laughed and frowned at the memories.

Suddenly, they heard a rustle in the bushes. They looked around in alarm looking for the source of sound. Then, they saw a pair of brown eyes peeking through a bush. They cautiously approached the pair of eyes.

“Hello, who is there? Come out,” beckoned Adrian.

The pair of brown eyes blinked a few times before slowly emerging from behind the bush.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but when I heard both of you talking about your story, I was simply enthralled. Your story is amazing, like right out of a romantic movie. I couldn’t help but feel curious and that tempted me to continue eavesdropping. I am so terribly sorry. I will not say a word to others about your story. I promise,” said Samantha.

“It’s okay, dear. Do you want to sit with us and listen to our story? We would be thrilled to be in the company of a young lady like you,” Julia invited with a warm smile on her lips and Adrian nodded encouragingly.  

Samantha thanked them and introduced herself. After exchanging pleasantries, the old couple continued their story.

Just then, they heard another rustle from a different direction. Samantha joked that it could be another person like her who was interested in the couple’s story. The couple beckoned the stranger to come forward and join them. It was a young man. Like Samantha, James apologized before joining them. The couple continued their story.

Suddenly, Samantha’s nose and mouth was covered with a piece damp cloth from behind. She did not see who it was. The cloth was dampened with chloroform. Samantha fainted.

She woke up light headed tied up to a chair. She looked around. It looked like an abandoned small house. The furniture is old and the floor was dusty. She tried calling out for help, calling for the old couple, hoping that someone might hear her.

The door creaked open, in walked the couple. Samantha was overjoyed and quickly asked them to help untie her. Alas, her joy was short-lived. James then walked in behind the couple holding a piece of damp cloth.

Samantha tried to process what she had seen; trying to understand what was going on. She panicked. 

“Adrian, Julia. What’s going on? Why am I tied here?” questioned Samantha, hoping to prove she was wrong.

The old couple smirked and slowly laughed louder and louder. Samantha was right. Her worst fear was confirmed.

“Why are you doing this? Do you know James beforehand? Why did you capture me?” asked Samantha as tears streamed down her face, afraid of what would happen to her.

The couple simply continued laughing as James approached her. Touching her face and hair and looking at her body, he said “Her skin is pretty good. She has beautiful hair too. As well as a good figure although she isn’t very tall.”

Samantha demanded to know what was happening, all the while struggling to free herself from the ropes used to tie her.

“Sammy, stop wasting your energy trying to free yourself. It’s no use,” Adrian said.

“Why are you doing this? How could you act this way? Aren’t you a kind person?” Samantha asked.

“Young lady, when did I ever say that I am kind?” Adrian asked with a glint in his eye.

“But your story you told me just now. Your love story…” replied Samantha.

“You believed us? Old man, we are great actors! We should go film a movie!” teased Julia.

“Actually our names aren’t Adrian and Julia. We made that up,” the old man cackled with glee.

“No, No! Let me go! You wretched old man! Let me go! What are you going to do with me?! Let me go!”

“Oh, honey. Haven’t you ever heard of human trafficking?” the old woman hinted.

Samantha was horrified. She struggled even harder. She shouted and yelled as loud as she could. Then, James covered her nose and mouth with another chloroform dampened cloth.

The three kidnappers laughed among themselves loudly.
