It can remove waterproof makeup easily too. I also like that it's affordable and available in leading department stores nationwide. One of my favorites from Biorè Cleansing line :)

Before and after using Biorè URU URU 2in1 Cleanser

     Biorè URU URU 2in1 Cleanser is really fun to use because of the foamy and creamy texture. I only need a single pump for light makeup. It has a rich lather and thick lather and doesn't cause friction when applying all over the face. it made my skin soft, smooth and radiant after cleansing. If you're using a heavy and waterproof mascara, you may opt to use the cleansing oil first before washing your face with this cleanser. I only wish there's a refill bag for this since the bottle is sturdy enough and will last a long time so it would be economical if they have refills instead of buying another bottle.

Biorè Cleansing Oil

     Gentle makeup cleansing oil that washes away stubborn makeup, even waterproof mascara. An oil-based makeup remover that has an excellent cleansing ability that makes makeup removal so quick and easy. If you apply heavy makeup every day, or you like creating makeup up pegs, this product saves time and effort removing layers of makeup. It removes waterproof mascara easily and lifts away dirt and skin impurities.

A little amount of Biorè Cleansing Oil goes a long way!

     I veered away from cleansing oil because I find it too thick for my combination skin. Since I don't use heavy makeup, I'm okay with cleansing wipes and facial foam cleansers. But I have to try and see if this cleansing oil lives true to the claims so I tested Biorè Cleansing Oil last week. I was surprised that Biorè's formulation is not heavy on my face, a little goes a long way and dissolves makeup quickly especially waterproof mascara. The only thing I noticed that it stings my sensitive eyes during application. It has a subtle fruity scent which is a plus for me because I also have a sensitive nose.

Biorè Micellar Cleansing Water

     This lightweight yet effective makeup remover lifts off makeup and dirt from pores, leaving skin soft and moist feeling. Micellar Water Technology dissolves and lifts off more traces of makeup including mascara and eyeliner with less tugging on skin. Biorè Micellar Cleansing Water has two variants- Moist Up for dry to normal skin and Oil Contol for Oily or Combination Skin.

     Drum roll please... my newest fave! At first, I thought I broke out using this but after using this alone to remove my HG (holy grail) makeup, I found out that the culprit is the Shiseido Foundation that I'm also road-testing. Anyhoo, this makeup remover is one for the books. It's Oil-free, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, colorant free, non-comedogenic, allergy and ophthalmologist tested.

See all the makeup and dirt from my waterproof mascara. Don't freak out, those are mascara fibers and not my lashes :)

     What I love about Biorè Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil Control Formula (for my combination skin)- its made from natural mineral water, super gentle on skin, did not break me out, no sting on my sensitive eyes, made my skin soft and supple. It has collagen, and in long time use can make pores looks smaller. Though the price may not be budget friendly, it lives up to its promise.

Canon Pix Mommy Weekend + Canon PIXMA E Series Printers Launch

Saturday, July 08, 2017

    Have you experienced doing late night research, homework, and project before? It's stressful especially if you're cramming because tomorrow is the deadline. I've experienced this situation many times when I was in college. We only have a desktop computer but we don't have a printer. 

     Picture this- project done but printing none. It's a sad experience when the computer shop nearby is already closed so you have no choice but to wake up early and wait for them to open that's why if you have a desktop or a laptop at home, a printer is a must! Speaking of the printer, let me share with you what Canon Philippines has to offer plus the highlights of Canon Pix Mommy Weekend Event.

     Another blogger, Shari Macainag- the beauty, lifestyle and mommy blogger behind The Misty Mom also shared her tips and tricks capturing kids photos. I can relate to her that it's hard to please a kid, make him or her pose in front of the camera especially if they're not in the mood. Shari showed us visuals on how to capture a perfect picture using her Canon Mirrorless camera.
