Lancôme Bi-Facil Make Up Remover


Lancôme used to be one of my favorite brand. I am not saying it isn't so anymore: their products are amazing, I love almost everything: their creams, their shadows (which are pigmented enough but not too much) and their mascaras. 

The problem is that they use the worst emollients and preservatives, still... and they are so expensive. I was left bewildered when I found that Lancôme uses paraffinum liquidum [mineral oil] in their facial cleanser. I was like: are you serious. 

There's one thing that I definitely love and I think it's worth despite the price and the bad ingredients: Lancôme Bi-Facil Make Up Remover.



I tend to alternate it with Almond Oil because it's reaaaally expensive: 4.2 oz for almost $ 30...!!
However, it is the gentlest and most effective thing I have ever used in my life for my eyes. I use tons of eye-liner and mascara, and it takes me just a little to take off everything without spreading the dirt all around my face. 

Let's begin our review:

Song of the Week


Joe Hisaishi - Feel



Imagine vast fields of Cherry trees... imagine warm and sunny weather... at sunset...
The gentle wind fiddling through your hair... and then this piano playing... 

Cherry Tree
Pink Cherry Tree in Bloom by makdune


Wouldn't it be the perfect way to wake-up...?



[Still, what I hear is downtown L.A. work-in-progress drilling... ugh!]

Mama Mio Pregnancy Skincare: Boob Tube - no, thanks.

Mama Mio (what kind of name is Mama mio? It's either Mamma mia or ... mio doesn't make sense.) claim that their products are safe during pregnancy or nursing. On the "Boob Tube" it reads: "just avoid the nipples, your baby doesn't need Boob Tube!)
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK, thankyouverymuch.

As if I baby goes like "Oh yeah I am just targeting the very nipple over here mate."



On their website, they state:
"Safe and effective for the nine month s t r e t c h."

Effective, I don't know. I don't even have boobs.

Safe, I don't think so. Especially for your baby. So you might want to think twice before you use it.

First of all, is L'Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle a foundation? A primer? A powder? All of them?
I can't tell, but I can tell you this: for $ 15.99 at Rite Aid, I love it!
