REVIEW: Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover

Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover

~AG~
Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover is a frequently-seen makeup remover sold in Watsons, Sasa and Guardian. While in Japan for holiday, I decided to stock up on this makeup remover since my innisfree apple juicy lip & eye remover was on its last drops. Managed to purchase this makeup remover at JPY 595 (~S$ 7.5), and it came with a pack of Q-tip (cotton buds). It was such as steal, whereas Watson Singapore is retailing it for S12.90. That is S$5 in savings! Yippy!!

This makeup remover claims to "effortlessly removes the most waterproof makeup without tugging." It contains Vitamin B & E for added benefit. It is a dual-phase makeup remover. The top emollient layer contains non-greasy oil that effectively removes the most stubborn, waterproof mascara. The bottom water-based layer is a gentle lotion that is refreshing, and has hydrating properties. It is also hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and paraben-free. Sounds great for those with sensitive skin.

Dual-phase makeup remover

For eye makeup, I always wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Since the skin around the eyes area is very delicate, my hope is for a makeup remover that can effectively remove waterproof makeup without much rubbing. Tugging and rubbing can cause premature wrinkles around the eyes. Even though I try to be as gentle as possible with makeup removal, sometimes it does require some wiping and rubbing.
To use this makeup remover, you have to shake the bottle first. Then dispense some product on cotton pad, and wipe gently. For stubborn waterproof mascara, hold cotton pad against eye for a while before gently wiping off. This makeup remover works by lifting makeup rather than melting it away. The great thing about this makeup remover is that it does not sting at all! Some eye makeup removers such as Body Shop Chamomile eye makeup remover stings my eyes area. It works well to remove my most waterproof makeup such as Heroine Make Me Smooth Liquid Eyeliner and Tarte Lights, Cameras and Splashes. You only need 20-cent sized amount for each eye. For my previous eye makeup remover, innisfree juicy lip & eye makeup remover, I needed 50-cent sized amount for each eye. Bifesta Eye Makeup Remover is more effective than innisfree juicy lip & eye makeup remover in thoroughly removing waterproof eye makeup. I will definitely re-purchase this worthy eye makeup remover.
