Where I purchased it: Random Supermarket in Mauritius

Description:
This product is a milk makeup remover with rose extract. Only a small amount is needed on a small cotton pad to take out all the makeup. It is suitable to use on the eyes too as it is very gentle.

Personal Experience:
Despite the fact that I wear makeup every day, I used this makeup remover to remove everything. Surprisingly I used this for a long time and it has lasted very long and is as much effective as it was when I first bought it. It is very gentle on the eyes as I did not get any stingy feeling while cleansing my eyes as I wear very heavy eye makeup. It also helps to remove my fake lashes if I have worn any.

Would I re-purchase?
I sure would repurchase it.

Nuteen Acne & Pimples Away Cleanser - [Empties #4]




Nuteen Acne & Pimples Away Cleanser 






This blog post is a 2 in 1 post. Since I am throwing away the Nuteen Acne & Pimples Away Cleanser I thought that I could review the product at the same time. Let’s start!

Product Name: Acne & Pimples Away Cleanser

Product Brand: Nuteen

Ref: Deeply Cleanses & Acne Fighting

Product: Cleanser

Net Weight: 100g

Duration of Use: 3 months plus

Where I purchased it? I bought it from Guardian in Malaysia

Made in? Malaysia (Distributed by Ginvera Marketing Enterprises)

Product Description:

The Threat Of Acne & Pimples:
Acne is one of the most common skin problems especially in teenage skin and young adults. When pores are clogged by excessive oil secretion, an oil plug will be formed on the skin, initially known as a whitehead, which later will become a blackhead due to oxidation. Once the blackhead is affected with the bacteria in the air, it will result in skin inflammation, causing the forming of acne and pimples. Therefore it is important to cleanse and get rid of excess facial oil effectively to keep skin blemish free.

Efficacies:
Nuteen Acne and Pimples Away is specially formulated for teenagers with acne fighting salicylic acid. It provides antibacterial properties to help soothe pimples.

Benefits:

Gently & effectively cleanses and remove excess oil & dirt without drying, leaving skin clean & healthy.
It is specially formulated with Salicylic Acid to fight acne.
Provides anti-bacterial properties to help soothe pimples & inflamed skin.


Directions:
Squeeze onto palm, lather with water & massage gently onto wet skin. Rinse thoroughly. It is gentle enough for daily use.

What I think?  
This product was initially introduced to me by a friend when we went shopping together. She tried it and found it remarkable and treated her acne fine. She was so happy with it that she bought the whole series for her daily skin care. However, I bought only the Cleanser and tried it. I loved the feel of it as I felt it work and it kept my skin hydrating and refreshing. I introduced this product to my brother and sister who equally loved it. My brother had some serious acne issues but when he used this he saw some serious improvement and I had to buy him some more of this cleanser. We used the product every morning and night to cleanse our face. Mine is over and I want to try something new as I don’t have serious acne issues. However, my brother is still using it and plans to continue using this product.

Will I re-purchase? Yes I surely would.

Pros:
-          It is quite cheap and contains quite a considerable amount of product.
-          Smells nice and feels great on the skin
-          Can be easily applied and cleansed with an electric brush
-          Actually works where acne is concerned.

Cons:
-          The tube broke on me when I was pressing out the product.
-          Stings very much if gets into eyes.
-          Plastic Tube and not that durable after using for a long time.

The Special Deal with Malswisse – [Malswisse #2]


Surprises that come along with the Course

This course was the best deal ever. I paid a fair price for all that came along with it. It was worth much more than I actually paid for it. Even though I have not started as yet I was already satisfied.
I received a number of products along with the course and it also included a small case bag which is very pretty. Here below are all the things that I got along with the course.
Most of the product are from the brand Avialla – a brand I never heard before. I searched the net for it too but no website as such. However, this product is only distributed by Malswisse and it can also be bought from them.

     1. A Black Make Up Trolley Case

This Trolley Case is awesome; it has 4 wheels and is very easy to roll around. It also is made of very durable material and easy to clean if some makeup has spread on it. It involves opening the case with 6 trays – 3 on both sides and makes it very helpful to organize my makeup appropriately. It is not too heavy or too light. It is of hand carry size – so when I go back this will be my hand carry luggage.







     2. Avialla – Eye & MakeUp Remover




The directions of this product are: Wet a cotton swab with a small quantity of this gentle, eyebrow, aqueous eye and face makeup remover. Cleanse the eyelids and eyelashes, and thoroughly wipe onto face and lip area. Be careful not to drip the fluid inside the eyes.
Overall, after using this product I do love it. It is suitable for all skin types and it is a 500ml bottle which has a pump to it. This product was formulated in Switzerland.

    3.  Avialla – Moisture Milk Cleanser




The directions of this product are: Moisture Milk Cleanser should be used morning and evening. Splash the face and eyes generously with tepid to slightly water.

For stubborn makeup, repeat this process or use this cleanser with a soft washcloth/cotton.
