Review: Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil

おさしぶり

In my recent SaSa haul I mentioned this product bought from the site www.sasa.com. If you want a direct link to the product please click THIS. By no means am I sponsored to do this post... I wish T.T thus anything I do say is my own opinion.

Now time to get down and clean with this product.

"Kose softymo Deep Cleansing Oil blends orange oil and Oryza Sativa (rice) bran oil to dissolve makeup and remove impurities in pores. Cuticle-clear ingredient helps remove dead cuticles, leaving skin purified and refreshed"

Price: I bought this on sale for $11.30 however SaSa usually sells it for $13.30. Either price is reasonable as the size and quality more than compensates for the price.

Size: 230ML. The product has a generous amount of liquid. I'm sure this will last me more than a year.

Formula: As it is an oil remover it does feel exactly like that on your face. Personally not the most pleasant texture to remove makeup with. But the oily feeling is only temporary. Don't forget to rinse your face afterwards!

Effect: This is the BEST makeup remover I have used up until now. In comparison to some of the others like Cyber Colors Eye makeup remover, Garnier makeup remover sheets, Johnsons and Johnsons makeup remover sheet and a few others.

I always like to apply my makeup literally between my eyelashes. Not above or below the eyelashes. But where my eyelashes are. I know this is probably very bad for my eyes but the effect is very natural. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. For a long time I've had a lot of difficulty removing the makeup between my eyelashes especially my water proof makeup. But with Kose deep cleansing oil it's only taken a pump and POOF everything is gone. None of that hard rubbing and endless product usage. All I do is take a pump on my palms rub on my face and remove excess with make-up removal puff.

Packaging: Pump nozzle. Supper convenient to moderate the amount you need and very hygienic.

Suitability: For all skin types. I have combination skin which is always hard to deal with. Especially when you have one part of your skin demanding more hydration and another part producing extra oil. My Skin does not break out from this nor does it get dry.

How to apply: 

Full face make up at the end of the night.

Step 1. Apply to dry face and fingers and massage gently over the face.
(Here half face is removed)

Step 2. After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly.
Final result, not a speck of makeup!

Overall: Would definitely buy again. I'm always one for trying new products but when I do find something I like that does the job perfectly I tend to stick to it.

Story time!

I've used this remover for about a month before I wrote this review and every night I'd go to sleep with this thick layer of oil on my face and wake up with it still there. Sure the makeup was removed but my face felt like I was swimming in thick gooey oil. At this point I was really indecisive with the quality of the product. Even if it does remove all my makeup I'm not that keen on a product which takes me back to puberty and beyond every night. Flash forward to me writing this review and I go to the sasa page info for the product description and underneath the how to apply guide it says 'After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly'... I'm gobsmacked. This whole time I've just left the oil residual on D:  Let this all be a lesson to read instructions carefully before applying anything to your face!

Signing of with a picture of how my makeup looked before it got all oily later on in the night. 

Take care my readers and stay happy ♥ ❤ ❥ ❣

MINI SASA HAUL: Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil, Clinique MOISTURE SURGE Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief, C+M SPF 30PA+++ Baby Mild Sun Screen Milk

Now that you've skipped reading the long title it's time I talked about my mini SaSa haul.

So recently SaSa had a promotion where they gave free shipping on orders over $19 USD. They usually always have a 'spend $29 USD or more to enjoy free shipping' but when I ordered on the 24th of July it was $19. Now that was something sweet.

The shipping time was fairly short. Since it was such a long time ago... I'd take a rough estimate around 2-3 weeks. Since I'm always ordering stuff online I start losing track of what I've bought where. I just get ecstatic when I see another parcel at my door.

Packaging was so over the top. I had these three fairly small products and they put it in this humongous box with all these puff balls. Slightly unnecessary to pack it in such a big box but I really appreciate they effort they go into.

They even personally bubble wrap the products inside the big box with all the puff balls. Could they get more careful or what? You really can't complain if your product is damaged since it's evident SaSa has tried beyond the requirements of man kind! Plus the free bubble wrap is awesome for Friday nights home alone.

Onto the products I bought. For my first item I got Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil. At the time they had a 15% promotion which meant I got the product for $11.30 instead of $13.30. Bargain! I'll do a review on the product later but I can tell you that this product removes your waterproof, sweatproof anything proof makeup like no tomorrow.

REVIEW OF KOSE SOFTYMO DEEP CLEANSING OIL (updated)

On an alternative note Kose has also released a more gentle cleansing oil called SOFTYMO White Cleansing Oil which sasa.com sells for $10.40. I laughed a bit too long when I read the description for the product "Kose

Softymo White Cleansing Oil can remove make up and dirt effectively. It removes excess horny layer with melanin and makes your skin transparent and soft. ". LOOOL "HORNY" together the KOSE cleaning oil's go deep and horny. Immaturity level over 9000 right now...

For my second product I bought Clinique Moisture Surge 'Face Spray Thirsty Relief' 30ml for $5.20. I am biased to branded products like 'Clinique', 'Lancome' etc but renowned brands are popular for a reason. They do the job and it's much less riskier to buy a product everyone favours. I am yet to use this product but it does have a slight PV glue smell when I take the lid off and smell it...

And my last product is C+MSPF 30PA+++ Baby Mild Sun Screen Milk 35mls which I got for $2.60 during a SaSa sale at the time. The product is heaps cute and compact and perfect for the upcoming warmer seasons. I've done a hand swatch and the texture is amazing. Smooth and silky like normal moisturising cream not like normal sunscreen at all. A must have product!

All together these three items cost $19.10. Yay for grabbing bargains and getting free shipping. Loving SaSa.com
