Biore Hydra-Clear Makeup Remover Review & Mini Giveaway.....

I must say when I first saw this product

standing on my local supermarket shelves

with a screaming banner

that says “BEST SELLER IN JAPAN!!”,

I was totally sceptical about the product.....

But since I was all out of my trusty Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil,

I had to believe in blind faith that it was going to work for me!

Oh well, seriously, what do I have to loose?!?!?

Afterall, it was only a fraction

of the price of my usual make up remover.....

If it doesn’t work, I am just going to DUMP it!

*Keeping both my fingers crossed*

I slap on a generous amount of product,

although the instructions clearly state use ONLY 1tsp (3ml)......

But surprisingly, I love the texture of the oil!

It wasn’t too thick or thin....

It was just right! PERFECTO!!!

It was easy to apply on and glided across my face

without much effort!

Then, I emulsify the product with a little warm water,

over and over again for 3 or 4 times.

Then finally, rinse off with warm water.

I have to say that I’M LOV’IN IT!!!!!!

My face felt squeaky clean.

FRESH!

Without any trace of make-up or oil residue!!!!

I did not even need to wash my face all over again

with a facial cleanser!

(p/s: And for everyone’s Information,

I DO use ALOT of make up on my face!!!!)

I therefore declare that I am abandoning

my EXPENSIVE Shu Uemura Cleaning Oil

for this AFFORDABLE, Kao Biore Make-up remover....

Why pay MORE rite?!?!?

And since I love this product so much,

Testimony from Elaine (www.dylan.sg)

"I just have to write about how fortunate I was to have Irene help me with my makeup and hair for my photoshoot. She is a very talented lady who sparked up my day with her makeup and her personality. She's really warm and friendly , who will put anyone at ease under her hands. We started at 7.30 am in the morning but her chirpiness quickly infected me and perked up the day.

I was a little worried about trying out brown shades for my eyes as I have never done it before but she was very confident it would look good on the pictures. She was that confident , I just had to believe in her. True enough, the pictures say it all. She was also that sweet to help me with my photoshoot under the hot sun. Where would you be able to find such a professional and sincere makeup artiste?

I would really recommend her to other friends."

About Irene

Irene’s passion for makeup & cosmetic started when she was little after discovering her mother's collection. This ardour for beauty led her to pursue professional makeup qualification which includes World Academy of Professional Makeup Artist Awards International Diploma, World Federation of Nail Artist Technology Diploma, and Nail Airbrushing course with a top Air Brush Artist Laura Scotts in Los Angeles.

Irene never turns her head since then and her talent for creating beauty was evident. During the makeup diploma course, Irene’s thesis was awarded the best and during her practical examination her work was rated the best in the Creative Makeup Category.

Irene came in first in Siemen Mobile M55 Makeup Competition in 2003 August. Her highly sought-after makeup skills provided the opportunities to work with Shu Uemura. She is also currently the resident makeup artist and trainer for Style Infinity.
