My Opinion:

I've tried several makeup wipes in the last few months and ended liking most of them, but my favorite is still Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Acne Blemish Clearing Facial Towelettes, but since these aren't available locally I had to order it online, and before they arrive I got these from a local drugstore.

 

These wipes removes all my makeup, doesn't irritate or dry out my skin and it has a nice floral scent, I though this were pretty good until recently I've started to notice some blemishes (hormonal), nothing serious just the usual monthly breakouts, but while I was using the Tomatoes wipes I didn't have any hormonals breakouts. I guess that these wipes are really good for everyday use, but during that particular time of the month, where my skin is super oily, I need something stronger that will keep blemishes away.

According to Sasa's webpage:

Pond's New Cleansing Foam, White Beauty can lather up rich foam which whisk away dirt, excessive oil and make-up, leaving your skin cleaned and, more importantly, at the same time, hydrated. The texture of this foam is very fresh and lightweight, gliding very smoothly on your face. Formulated with mild formula and wonderfully moisturized, deeply nourished and plumped, skin emerges infinitely regenerated. Your skin can be renewed, refined, resilient and radiant upon using it. Say good bye to oily face and use Pond's cleanser!

My Opinion:

I've been using this foam cleanser to wash my face after I remove my makeup. It's a light cleanser that did not dry up my skin, but there's isn't much to rave about it.

Pond's white magic baby face powder

Price: 170 Bahts (got this from Thailand)

My Opinion:

You gals knows that I love my Johnson's Pure Essentials - Young White Face Powder which is basically a blotting powder, unfortunately I was unable to locate it, so I though I would give this a try.

This is just another blotting powder that I got from Thailand, and it's main ingredients is just Starch, this one is slightly different from my previous one, because the pan is split into 2 section while on one side is the white blotting powder, while the pink side is a pink shimmery powder. I just swirl my brush in it, and the pink powder does not leave my face shimmery, it gives me a slight sheen.

My opinion:

I've been using this as a makeup remover for about a month and it does remove my makeup, but I'm not sure what else I was suppose to expect from this product.... (there was not break outs)

The only reason why I've decided to give this a try was because I've recently read an article about Kelly Minogue saying that her wrinkle-free skin is down to using Pond's Cold Cream, and if you are interested in the article here's the path:

I know that I'm being shallow to be suck in by celebrities claims, but come on, this is very affordable (alot cheaper than what I've been using), although I didn't find it devastating, I've got nothing to complain and I think I'll keep on using it mainly because is cheap and it does remove my makeup without irritating my skin.

Please note that I always wash my face with a foam cleanser after I remove my makeup because I find this product greasy.
