Japanese Name: ビフェスタうる落ち水クレンジングメイク落としシート
Price: ~¥490
Rating: ★★★★☆

I saw this on sale at DonQui because it was a new product that they were trying to promote. Of course, other brands have a similar makeup sheet product, but I wanted to try this particular one because I usually buy the liquid version in a bottle and use it with cotton pads. I wanted to see if it would be easier/worth it compared to the price I pay for the bottle (about ¥700).

The good thing about this product is that it comes with 80 sheets, which is about 30 more than other brands like Biore. Unfortunately, it takes about 2 sheets to completely remove my makeup, because I tend to use a lot of eye makeup and those tough to remove mascara/eye liner just won't come off with one sheet. However, it really does remove makeup as well as the original liquid version so no complaints about that. Also, because it's water-based and not oil-based, there is none of that greasy feeling you get from other makeup remover products, and you could just wipe and go to sleep (I tend to wash my face with another face wash before I do, though). Each sheet is light-weight and thin, with just enough moisture so that you can wipe your face without it dripping all over the place. Also, this particular product is the 'tightening' version, so you do get a bit of it's pore-tightening effects.

As you can see, even though it took 2 sheets, my eye makeup was cleanly removed and although you can't see it, my pores felt like they tightened up and my skin felt cleaner and brighter.


On a side note, today I'm going out with my co-worker to play badminton for the first time! I'm a bit nervous because I've never played before, but it should be fun. Then, if circumstances allow, we'll be heading to downtown Tokyo to join in at an international exchange party. Excited!
