My Review
Spotted this Nivea Make Up Clear Cleansing Wipes on sale when I was having my holiday shopping in one of Malaysia's Watsons. Decided to buy 1 pack to try since its way cheaper then in Singapore especially when its on sale in Malaysia.

Each pack consist of 25 cleansing wipes and it is properly sealed.

Opening the cleansing wipe to use is easy. Just tear the opening stickers and pull out 1 wipe from the opening then reseal it back. :)
Easy to open.
Pull the opening sticker.
Pull the wipe out from the opening.
The wipe feels pretty cool to touch. Maybe because I put them in the refrigerator. There is no particular smell from the wipe. 

The wipe is not very wet. Just the right percent of moist to make my skin feels comfortable when use. 

And I also notice that the wipe is not easily tear and don't turn hairy after used. 
Wipe is not easily tear.
One cleansing wipe is enough for my whole face since I don't put on heavy makeup. And my skin will feel clean, moisturized and refreshing after wiping. 
one wipe is enough for 1 time use for my light makeup.
Let us do a simple experiment on my common used makeup.

From left to right:  Cathy Doll CC Speed White Powder, The Body Shop Lily Cole Puff On Radiance, The Body Shop eye brown pencil, Loreal Color Riche Lipstick, Silkygirl eye shadow, Silkygirl blusher, Silkygirl Big Eye waterproof mascara. 
Experiment done.
First wipe across the makeup, I can see 80% of the makeup already being fully clean. Just a little eye brown pencil, lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara left. 
First wipe on the makeup.
Makeup left from first wipe.
And I went off to wipe it for another 2 times. Wow!!! All fully removed! clean and moisturizing. 
2nd and 3rd wipe.
All clean after 3rd wipe.
But it is a little expensive to me if we consider it's retail price. So when it's on sale, grab more. 

Overall, this cleansing wipe can cleanly removed my makeup, leaving my skin feel clean, moisturized and refreshing after wiping. 1 wipe is enough for my whole face each time. :)

This cleansing oil can cleanly remove all my make ups in 1 step without making my skin oily after wash. My skin feel refreshing after use. Most importantly, it does not cause blemish to my troublesome combination skin.

  4. Rinse off completely for a soft, clean feeling. 
This can also be use on wet face. 
My Review
Cleansing oil!!?? I specifically do not like to use cleansing oil on my face because of my troublesome acne skin last time. Although my skin now is no longer acne skin (combination skin), I am still scared. 

But seeing that it say it does not clog pores and I am often been told that only oil can remove oil and I should use cleansing oil followed by my face cleanser for better results. I decided to redeem 1 sample to try from Samplestore. 

It is a generous sample to me. A travel size 15ml cleansing oil.
Travel Size 15ml.
The cleansing oil has an oil texture that is transparent in color. It does have a light fragrance smell. Doesn't smell perfume to me but can't really tell what smell is it. A little fruity smell to me. 
Oil texture that is transparent in color.
I often only put on light makeup. So a little of this cleansing oil does removed my makeup cleanly without leaving any oily feeling on my face. The emulsification of the cleansing oil really did a great job. :)
Emulsify with water.
No outbreaks so far from using this cleansing oil. My skin feels not only clean but also supple without any greasy feeling. But of course I still use my face cleanser after this cleansing oil just to make sure. So far so good. :)

Then how about those waterproof makeup and other heavier makeups? Lets do some experiment.

Below show some of my makeup. From left to right: Lancôme Renergie CC Multi-Lift Instant Illuminating Color Corrector, The Body Shop Lily Cole Puff On Radiance, Loreal Color Riche Lipstick, The Body Shop eye brown pencil, Jill Lowe eye liner, Silkygirl Big Eye waterproof mascara, Lip Gross, Silkygirl blusher, Silkygirl eye shadow. 
Experiment with makeups.
After putting the cleansing oil over the makeup and do some massage and emulsify with water, can see that the makeup are all removed.

When wash off with water completely and dry, no makeup left. :D

My Review
Can't remember when I redeem this sample. But I do remember I redeem it coz the fact that it's handmade and the herbs used attracted my attention. 

The sample soap was pack in a plastic bag.

The soap bar itself consist of a very strong herbs smell. It smells a little like medical oil to me. Don't really like it. 

Wild Mugwort Soap is a solid soap bar with a mixture of light and dark brown color. 
How the sample soap bar looks like.
Lathering with foam is pretty easy with the help of water. 
Easy to lather with foam.
This Wild Mugwort Soap makes me feel that I am using those kind of olden days soap bar that our grandparents used. Especially so when the soap is this color and smell. 

After used, my skin feels really clean but I do feel that it is not moisturizing but a little too dry to my liking. I need to always use my own body lotion after shower so that my skin won't feel so dry. 

Although so, I do really notice small pimples appear less often now on my body. 
After used soap bar.
Overall, this Wild Mugwort Soap looks like those olden days soap bar that our grandparents used. It smell like some kind of medical oil which I don't really like. My skin also feels a little dry rather than moisturized after used. Not particularly the kind of handmade soap I will buy.
