My new found friend 1.

This is my new found friend whom i met a few months back. Introduced by a friend.

If u know me well enough back then, you will know i dont use anything else besides a cleanser (regular cleanser you can get at local drug store or supermarkets). I dont even have any preference on brands. (Currently using Loreal because "i'm worth it") lol.

No toners, no moisturizer.. no whatever eye cream, wrinkle cream, serum, spot corrector and god knows what else is out there.

Reason was simple. I dont like the routine of cleansing, toning, moisturizing bullshit and fuss. I never liked the feeling of having something on my face after washing.

As the amount of make-up i use started to grow from mascara n compact powder to liquid foundation, eyeliner, blusher,and whatsnot.... make up remover became essential.

I started using facial cleansing wipes.

There wasnt a need for eye make up remover because for the longest time i was using the Fibre-wig mascara which is pretty neat when it comes to removal. Just a lil warm water does the magic.

Then i started trying other make up removers such as Neutrogena (cream based) which is just so-so and doesnt seem to work on waterproof mascara. Later, i switched over to a jappo brand of water based make-up remover which was pretty good. Its Mandom Cleansing Express or something which can be found in Watson ever since they started importing all the Jappo stuff. At a price below RM30/bottle, its quite good at what it does. Biggest cons is waterproof mascara is still a challenge and i find the pump being tad too deep, causing you to pump too much or too litte. Prone to wastage. Other than that, i'm quite satisfied with it and i thought i'll stick to it for some time...

Not until i'm introduced to DHC Cleansing Oil by a friend (Why do i sound like im paid to do this? I don't.) She told me she has been using in back in Korea and she couldnt find it anywhere in Malaysia because her bottle of DHC is about to finish.

When we were vacationing in Spore, she finally found it in Watson, selling at $42 ( RM97), for a bottle of 200ml. You should have seen her excitement. Like she found her long lost bf or something. She talked about how good it is for the entire day after.

Apparently, its really famous in Japan and Korea.. and its how DHC earns it brand name (tru this cleansing oil). The cleansing oil is made of all natural ingredients like pomegranate oil, olive, rosemary (is it rosemary? ) and blabllabla... U can google it for more info.

She praised about it soooo much, so i decided to try hers.

I must say, its really good in removing all excess dirts and make up.. even waterproof mascara and the after wash effect is soo good! It works both as a make up remover and cleanser. skin feels so soft and supple. best of all, its all natural ingredients.. . It makes you feel soooo good.

So i decided to get it despite the hefty price (can last you pretty long because u need just a small pump and its enough to be massaged thoroughly on your face). I got my first bottle of DHC from Korea though... so it was only about RM60 after conversion!

I think its a pretty good investment since make-up has become part of my life now. As much as i like to look nice in cosmetics, i would also like my face to be thoroughly cleansed and well taken care of when i go to bed for the remaining hours i'm make-up free.

So i guess im sticking to DHC for as long as possible. This is how its described in its official site:

Superstar. Try this amazing cleanser and you’ll see why it’s our most
popular product worldwide. Dirt, excess oil, makeup—even waterproof mascara—and
other pore-cloggers dissolve easily, leaving your face a grime-free zone that is
soft to the touch. Its unique water-soluble formula rinses completely, so you’ll
never see a greasy residue. Olive oil and vitamin E help ensure you won’t see
dryness either

Furthermore, i think Watson here is already carrying a range of DHC products.. and if iam not wrong, the Cleansing Oil is priced at RM90+. (Not much of a dif from Spore). I heard their other products are pretty good too but i havent tried em yet.. its quite pricey here.

Good news: My other friend's bf will be coming down from korea to visit her in 2 weeks time, so i've asked to help me buy 2 bottles of DHC! *yay*
:D

So, there goes my first review on facial products i've used. You know i dont usually do it. So when i do, it definately is "something"!

MUST TRY
