THE VERDICT:

May was a pretty hot month-I thought by that time, we'd experience cloudy days and light sprinkles already, but no-May felt like an extension of April! My liquid foundations-even the light and watery ones-went on a hiatus and I resorted to powder foundations as my base. Suffice to say, I wore very light makeup last month.

My makeup remover that time? This. Bifesta Cleansing Lotion in Sebum. I'm already halfway through this thing so I thought of reviewing it for you guys today.

Bifesta Cleansing Lotion comes in one size only, and in a very sturdy and re-usable plastic bottle. When I finish this up, I'm thinking of turning the bottle into a hand wash container because the color fits our bathroom's Moroccan theme!

BIFESTA CLEANSING WATER IN ACTION

I always use a cotton pad with it-tried pumping it out on facial tissue and guess what? The tissue just got soaked and it was torn right before it has touched my face!

I use about 3-4 cotton pads with this cleanser: I soak the first pad with the solution and press it all over my face just to loosen up the makeup, then I proceed with regular makeup removal. I feel that it thoroughly cleanses my skin, albeit it's doesn't work too well on waterproof makeup, especially waterproof mascaras. It's no biggie, really, as I use a separate makeup remover for the eyes even with my Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil. For those who wear washable mascaras and eyeliners, this works effectively: Just press a cotton pad on your eyes for a minute, then start wiping downwards to start removing makeup.

I didn't break out from this cleanser, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and a lil' dry-well, not irritating dry, but the kind of dryness wherein you feel that you don't have excess oil on your skin's surface. It's very light, gentle, and leaves no residue at all.

If you wear light and washable makeup all the time, a gentle makeup remover like this would probably suffice. It can actually remove long- wearing foundation, eyebrow pencil, blush, powder, and eyeshadow, but I use more pads just to be sure that every trace of makeup is removed. One bottle would last for about two to three months, depending on usage. It isn't really the economical choice for those who wear heavy makeup all the time, but if you want something gentle and easy to rinse but don't mind the excessive usage, I would recommend this. Will I recommend it to those with sensitive skin? Probably not because even if it's water, it may have ingredients that you could be allergic to-best thing to do is to ask around or read more reviews on the Internet.

Overall, I'm happy with this product because it's affordable and good enough for those days when I'm just too lazy or I'm just wearing light makeup. Oh, did you know that this product is quite multitasking too? Check out its other possible uses:

1. As a toner

2. As a makeup setting spray

3. As a freshening mist

4. As a 'charged' kind of water to enhance the coverage of powder eyeshadows and dilute thick liquid foundation

After this bottle, I think I'll use the Bright Up variant next and see how it will aid me in my skin brightening concerns. Til then.
