Favorite Make-Up Remover: Lancome Bi-Facil

We all love creating those dramatic eye looks with the different products we use. But at the end of a fun night, taking the eye make up off can be such a pain, and we must take it off so our sensitive eyes won't get infected. I have gotten a stye once since I slept without properly taking off eye make up, so I made sure after that I thoroughly removed the make up especially for my eyes. Therefore, I would like to share with you all my favorite eye make up remover, it works fast and leaves your eyes make up free! :)

Lancome BI-FACIL eye makeup remover

All Skin types
This Double-phase liquid is fresh as water, yet removes even waterproof eye makeup. Gentle enough for sensitive eyes.

Ophthalmologist-tested

Bi-Facil by Lancome has got to be my most favoriite eye make up remover ever. It works so swiftly, and true to its meaning its as fresh as water, no heavy oil feel at all. In just one swipe, it works already! :) To put this to test, I lined the back of my hand with 2 Styli Style Eye Liner Pencils. I chose Styli Style because this is waterproof and rub proof like crazy! Check here for my review on that. :)

With a q-tip using only one side, I dipped this in the Bi-Facil to absorb the remover


Taking off the excess since I dipped it too long, you only need a little promise. :)


About to take off the liners in just one swipe

The first swipe, look at how clean and fast it is in removing the make up. :)

After the first swipe, look at the clean area so fast!


My 3rd swipe, take note, I didn't have to go back and swipe the already swiped areas. :)


All clean and all gone, check out the qtip carrying all the removed product. :)




Overall, I don't think I need to stress more on how much I really like this product because the pictures really do all the talking. This product is so convenient and can be used with a cotton square for instant eye make up removal and/or with a q-tip for smaller and harder to reach areas like eye liner.

The only thing that can set you back is the price, It's pretty pricey for a makeup remover but luckily I get mine in small travel sets that are usually included in Lancome Kits. :)


What are your favorite make up removers? :)


Toodles! :)

New Toys

Since I have been on hiatus for the past couple of weeks due to make up school and some other gigs and priorities on the side. I have been lacking on posts about reviews, new discoveries and most especially hauls. So this post is dedicated to the new toys I have, some never even been swatched.

The bulk of these products are from the boyfriend who came home a couple of weeks ago and surprised me with my weakness - make up. While some were bought here through some re-sellers and at some retail stores available here in Manila.

Here's the loot, some I can't find since I need to do a lot of sorting in my messy messy room! :(

But for now, I will be taking the weekend off to Bohol hence I must say sorry still for the inconsistent blogging habbits recently.
