Bifesta for girls who appreciate efficiency

Isn’t it troublesome to remove makeup after usage?

After spending a bomb on our pressed powders, eyeshadow and lipsticks, we still have to fork out money to buy makeup remover.

Although we don’t really want to spend money on it, we understand that makeup will clog our pores and we will have bad skin the following day.

Oh, who haven’t heard of the horror stories yet? Doesn’t help when girls who talk about clogged pores exclaim loudly and end it with a grimace.

That being said, I tried Bifesta for the first time today.

Previously known as cleansing express

I am pretty sure that if I continued using this for the next few weeks, I am not going back to my L’Oreal eye makeup remover.

My current eye makeup remover

Right now, I am using this L’Oreal eye makeup remover with cotton pad everyday.

What it is lacking is the pump that Bifesta has. Great for lazy people. But it costs only $5.80 from Chinatown whereas Bifesta costs about $18. Teehee.

With Bifesta, I need not wash my face off with a facial cleanser and then moisturize it afterwards because it already contains moisture. I just need to rinse off the makeup remover lotion with water and I’m done!

Now I am wondering if there is any economical sense for me to use the cheaper alternative, but spend an additional 5 minutes to cleanse and moisturize my face. By the way, my cleanser costs about $20 and moisturizer costs $80.

Then again, it is not possible for me to use Bifesta alone, without any cleanser or moisturizer in my house. Right?

Perhaps I should keep a bottle of Bifesta around for lazy days, and stick to the cheaper alternative for non-lazy days.

Perfect solution. Pun intended.

What? 1 for $2?

“One makeup item for only $2? Really? Singapore where got?”

Well, there is. Only at Daiso.

Only at Daiso, we find eyebrow pencils, stick concealer, blusher, eyeshadow, makeup remover tissue, loose powder, lip colour for only two dollars. However, the question is – will it work?

I have tried the black eyeshadow from Daiso before, and the colours are not pigmented. That caused the black eyeshadow to appear grey on the skin. But for only two dollars, what grounds do we have to complain?

I’m not sure about other products from Daiso, but I have all the intention to find out if it works well.

And that brings me to the next point. I often wonder if the ingredients are safe for application.

I think that it is safe because there must be some standards and requirements to be met before factories or companies are allowed to manufacture makeup. Right?

Furthermore, we’re talking about items that are manufactured in Japan, not China. And if you don’t already know, China is the land of fakes. We’ve heard of fake Char Siew Bun stuffed with cardboard instead of meat, poisonous milkpowder, fake meat made of flour and gelatin, fake Apple stores, and whatnot. Disgusting people.

To add on, a friend who works in a widely-known cosmetic company mentioned that the ingredients used in products of a cheaper brand can also be found in their products. Looks like we’ve been paying for their marketing expenditure all these while.

If you’re too worried about using Daiso’s makeup, there is definitely something that will entice you from their wide array of products. There are stuff like double eyelid stickers, eyelashes, eyelash curler and makeup brushes. Surely this wouldn’t do much harm to your skin?

 Facial cleansing wipes from Daiso. Cheaper alternative to Biore’s.

I shall be your guinea pig and try out the makeup products from Daiso and tell you how it goes.

Stay tuned!
