Testing Two New Makeup Removers ~ SkinFix, Clove + Hallow

*pr sample*


Let's talk makeup removers. 
I love trying new makeup, and the "removing" part is important to me, and I bet for anyone else. 
Leaving makeup on your skin or any so called "left overs" may cause breakouts and other not fun stuff. I know it happen to me many times. You come home late, really tired and trying your best to take off whats left of your makeup. Sometime you just pass out and let it be. Don't.  Don't leave your makeup on. Trust me take that extra 5 min and clean your face. Clean skin, happy skin. 

I know the micellar waters are one of the best makeup removers out there. I personally find them so easy and so convenient.  But , as you can tell, today i will focus on oil based removers. I have two to talk  about, as they are great and fast! 


* SkinFix Foaming Oil Cleanser ~ I discovered this brand last year at Ipsy Gen Beauty. This Oil Cleanser was sent to me a while back and tbh I been loving it ever since. It is really gentle on the skin, removes makeup and leaves skin feeling soft and clean. It have a very mild scent and it foams up when you add water. Not like crazy foam but it is still a foam.  I like to use it in my night time skin care routine. What I like the most is that it won't leave me skin with greasy residue as some other oil based cleansers. The cleanser is made with natural coconut based cleansers that gently cleans skin without stripping it from skin's essential moisture.


Natural key ingredients include:
~ Healthy Skin Lipid Complex ~ helps to maintain healthy, glowing skin. 
~ Jojoba Oil ~ natural seed oil that is lightweight, deeply hydrating oil that is packed with Vitamin E, B-complex, copper and zinc.
~ Red Seaweed Extract ~ is rich in natural sodium, a powerful ingredient that pulls moisture into the skin to create plump appearance and dewy looking complexion.  
~ Aloe Leaf Extract ~ Aloe Vera contains over 200 active components including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and fatty acids. It helps repair collagen and elastin. And it also helps to sooth the skin. 
~ Macadamia Oil ~ natural seed oil, that is not greasy but nourishing. It is calming, healing and helps to maintain skin essential barrier function. 

Skinfix is available at Ulta and the cleanser retails at $22. 


* Clove + Hallow Makeup Melt ~ new to my skin care. Before I was sent this product I have never heard of Clove+Hallow. This brand is vegan and cruelty free, based in Atlanta. I also got to see them at Indie Beauty Expo few months ago. I have to say i am impressed with the line. They have lipsticks, concealers, foundations and makeup remover. And today we will get more in depth with the remover that changed my routine for better. It is so easy to just pop it onto my face and it melts everything!  And you don't need a lot. it is a balm-to-oil makeup remover that melts even waterproof mascara (I don't wear waterproof mascaras but for the purpose of testing this products I did) while
nourishing the skin. I am so happy  coz it is really really good. Aside from being so good can we talk about super luxurious packaging? I mean come on! It so well done! Heavy and very modern. And all of it will cost you less then $30.. $28 to be precise. With the super high end quality of this product that is very affordable. 


It is made wit Clean15 Ingredients:
~ Fractionated Coconut Oil
~ Polyglyceryl 10 Laurate 
~ Sweet Almod Oil
~ Sundflower Oil 
~ Sunflower Seed Wax
~ Sorbitan Sesquioleate



Below, lets call it a swatches of the removers. Just simply to show how the formula looks more less. Both like I said are very effective. I really can recommend both. Its up to you and your preferences if you like more liquid-y formula or more stiff a'la moisturizer formula.




My sensitive skin friends, these both products are for you. Both are gentle and both leave skin soft and clean. I do love both and I can't choose one like better.

*pr sample*



M-61 skin care brand that offers large selection of natural cosmetic products. All products are carefully formulated and that development ream has gone to great lengths to leave out over 100 ingredients that are beloved to give negative effect on the skin heath. 
M-61 line was created by Bluemercury co-founder Marla Beck.
All products can be only purchased at M-61 website, Bluemercury website and stores. 
Products are made without parables, sulfates and synthetic fragrances. 

I have 3 products form M-61 line but I will be writing only about two of them . The third one I got recently and I didn't have time to try it yet.



so lets start with Makeup Remover, which been one of my go to removers for past few months. It is gentle and very effective. While using it I really like to concentrate on my eye makeup the most. I soak a cotton round and gently press onto my eyes to soften the mascara and eye shadows by padding it .Sometimes I get carried away and I start rubbing it and with that I sometimes loose lashes.... Yeah not good. B ut with this one even if I rub to much I don't see any lashes missing. Which is great but I better don't do that in the future...
anyways the makeup remover is great. I haven't notice any burning sensation once it accidentally gets to my eyes. And that happens too sometimes. It cleanse my makeup well and leaves my skin refreshes. The Vitamin E nourishes the skin, while Aloe, Licorice root and cucumber cool the skin. Plus with the price point you can go wrong! 
Price $12 ----> get it here.



Next we have Vitablast C Scrub and Mask ~ amazing 2 in 1 product. this hybrid mask/scrub helps to get rid off any impurities from your skin. Deep cleanses my pores and leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh looking. Gentle non-irritating formula powered by Vitamin C, papaya with gallic acid and natural amber powder help soften and smooth the skin, polish away dead skin cells and help to achieve radiant complexion. Vitamin E and seabuckthorn protects the skin form environmental stressors while natural passionflower and yacon provide additional soothing and calming.
massage in circular motion on my skin for a minute, then I rinse it off with warm water. I try to use it at least 3 time a week :)  But I must say my skin feel and it looks better. Love the scent of it.
Price : $44 -----> get it here.



L'Occitane Immortelle Oil Makeup Remover ~ Review

*pr sample*



Hi Loves,

Since I have oily skin I try to avoid any oil based makeup removers. But what can I do when they work so great for me? I did use few in the past, but nothing compare them with Immortelle Oil makeup remover by L'occitane. This is by far the best makeup remover I tried. I wear makeup everyday so a good makeup remover is a must. I been using this one for a past month and I can put it down. Product come in a plastic bottle with a pump. The pump locks once you twist it. Love that! It makes it travel with ease and I don't have to worry that I might spill or something. The oil itself have a very silky texture. I pump out 2 pumps of oil on my hands and massage all over my face and eyes to remove makeup. Once I get to my eyes I can feel how it melts mascara away. Once Im done I use warm water to wash it off. I was surprised that it didn't leave any greasy residue behind.  My face felt clean and refreshed.



It does have a scent to it but its barely there. Love how it removes makeup, even stubborn water proof mascaras. Some oil based removers tend to leave my skin dry and really tight. This one did the opposite. It feels hydrated and light. And the best part it didn't break me out! woohoo! 

You can purchase it at L'Occitane website 
Price $ 32
