Review: Za Deep Cleansing Oil

When I finished my Kanebo Freshel White C Cleansing Oil, I originally wanted to repurchase the product. However, I thought I’d give other cleansing oils a go, just to see if they measure up. After some searching, I settled on Za‘s Deep Cleansing Oil. I’ve never tried Za’s skincare products before, only their makeup, so I thought this could be a good start.   

ZA Deep Cleansing Oil

Description:

The fluid oil dissolves even waterproof makeup and pore-clogging impurities and blackheads. Once your fingertips start feeling grainy, rinse it away. The natural plant oil leaves the skin feeling soft, moist and baby-smooth. 

My take on this cleansing oil? MEH. The oil is not as thick as the Kanebo’s Freshel White C, thus it needed a few more pumps of the oil to thoroughly clean the face. Thought it was a bit of waste to use so much oil to clean off my makeup.

Speaking of which, Za’s Deep Cleansing Oil claims to remove stubborn makeup, even waterproof mascara. Well, I tried removing my waterproof mascara after a wedding dinner – no such luck, mister! I even tried gently dabbing the eyelashes, and pressing them between my thumb and forefinger with the oil for a minute first to remove the mascara, and very little came out. I had to do it many times before they were finally removed. You can imagine several hairs came out as well 🙁

Would I repurchase this? Nope. It’s not very expensive; it’s certainly cheaper than Kanebo’s Freshel White C cleansing oil, but to have to use so much oil for one wash doesn’t sound so cost-effective in the long run. Once this is finished, I’m going back to me Kanebo, that’s for sure.

Za’s Deep Cleansing Oil retails at RM23.90, and is available in any Watsons or Guardian stores.

What I like about it: Me no likey this cleansing oil.

What I did not like about it: Needed to use quite a lot of oil to clean off my makeup; Did not remove my waterproof mascara as well as it claimed.

A Short Break

Dahlink readers, 

My apologies for not posting for a while (I apologise despite what other people may think I shouldn’t even bother because it’s my blog, yadda yadda yadda, I do have a responsibility towards my readers, and my advertisers). It’s been a hectic couple of weeks, what with work and wedding preparations.

Many a time I find that I lack the energy to keep up with so many blogs of mine, but as this is my baby, I’m definitely not about to give it up. So please bear with me, for I do have more reviews (and *ahem* bitching about) on beauty stuff. For even though I’m tired from it all, I am still full of energy when it comes to shopping :p

I shall be back real soon, do stay tuned 🙂

Love,
Tine
