It’s my absolute HG makeup remover brand in the whole wide world. It removes makeup really effectively, and it feels like heaven on my skin. What’s heaven for me? Water. Hahaha! It feels like water on my skin and yet it can remove all the makeup on my face. Enough said.

But then, it’s not readily available in the Philippines ( sniff ). I hoarded around 3 bottles during my Japan trip (because they were all that’s left on the shelves), and bought one bottle from Watson’s Singapore last year, and now, as you can see in the photo, it’s almost wiped out. As Singaporeans ask, “so how?” (and we translate it, “pano na?”)

Well, during the recent Watson’s Beauty Lab event wherein we were given the chance to try the latest products offered by Watson’s, I was eyeing the makeup removers because I saw something with the word “water.” Well, apparently, Watson’s own Pure Beauty brand launched three new makeup remover products!

This beauty blog started because of recommendations. My friends would ask me what products they should buy for this and that. I loved doing it so much that I, well, started a beauty blog! ( the perfect excuse just to stay inside the beauty section of the mall, and just stare at those beautiful things ). I was thinking, everyone loves the weekends, specially me, as they are free to go out, play, and most importantly, SHOP! So, as a treat to my readers, I shall be writing a Friday special called Beautynomics Weekend Story. Weekend stories would include product recommendations, reader questions ( please do send them in! ), some random rants and raves, and sneak previews of what products are going to be reviewed in Beautynomics in the coming days.

To start off, I’d like to share my story for the weekend, with Bottles Half Full. These are products that I love, love, love and I use all the time that they are half-full already, and ready for repurchasing soon!

As part of my from-now-to-eternity vow to take care of my eyes ( believe me, my eyes have been scratch-free for weeks now ), my eyes are now now spoiled with luxuriously moisturizing eye creams day and night, as well as them being left unscratched, or un-rubbed as much as possible. With the promise of gentle pressure to be applied when dealing with the eye area, I thought about the activity that I usually indulge in by the end of the day – that is, remove my makeup, particularly my eye makeup.

Last year was such a colorful year for me, and my eyes. For me in the sense that I was able to explore new opportunities and gain new friends ( mineral makeup addicts aylovyow! ), for my eyes in such a way that I’ve gone out of my comfort zone and started being highly experimental with eye makeup. Foiling vibrant hues of red, bronze, plum, and even blue! And yes, it is quite a challenge to remove by the end of the day.

My usual remove-my-makeup routine is that I apply a layer of Cetaphil on my face, and wipe away with tissue, and repeat, and wash my face with facial cleansing gel afterwards. There are still remnants of eye makeup after that but the toner does its job by removing it. I must admit that there is rubbing involved , using the cotton ball because eye makeup can be quite a challenge to remove. So there, I am just about to introduce to you all the product that really, really relieved my eyes of that extra pressure : Lancome Effacil Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.
