The Original Make Up Eraser

Another holiday preparation for me! Make Up Eraser sounds magic. How is it possible to erase my entire make up including my waterproof make up with just water? I was a bit sceptical about it. 

They claims that it contains no chemicals and survive 1000 washes. All you need is warm water. Oohh laa laa.. Thanks to my friend, she got me one on Sephora Sale few months ago.

The size is bigger than make up wipes, maybe 2x or 3x larger and of course thicker. It is 7inches wide x 16inches long. But it definitely saves you a lot of space in your luggage if you are travelling for long time. Let's say in my case I'm going for 40+ days. I love to wipe my make up in the middle of the day too. And mostly I need two sheets of make up wipes each time I use foundation. In total need 6-8 packs of wipes! And here I need only one piece. Don't we have a winner already?

Maybe you think that I could bring only 2-3 packs of wipes and repurchase in the middle of our trip. Maybe you are right. But in my case, I'm doing half-backpacking trip and I have tight schedule. I choose to spend extra time to sit and relax in the middle of townhall with sandwich on my hand than to walk through a drugstore looking for my favorite make up wipes. Going back to personal, that's not my option. Lol..

Another reason why I choose this cloth over make up wipes is about saving cost for buying wipes. This single cloth cost me just $20 (please convert if you are using other currency) in normal price (I'm saving 20% on sale) and it survives 1000 washes. I wash it after 3 times of uses, so it will last me 3000 uses. How much your make up wipes cost you? I'm sure with the cheapest wipes available on market, this cloth still cheaper than that.

I have other reason that might be not a concern for some people. This is an ecofriendly option compared to makeupremover+cottonpad or dispossable make up wipes. Might be more ecofriendly than some cleansing oil too, depends on the ingredients, because it claims containing no chemical.

The packaging is simple, just a transparent hard plastic for the box. There is instruction card inside every box. The cloth itself is wrapped in a sealed plastic packaging to keep it hygienic.

The cloth is okay for me and I don't have problem using it during these two weeks. It is not super soft so for you who have sensitive skin, I suggest to run a test first whether it hurts your skin or not. 

Does it works?? Yes, it works fine for me. We are supposed to use warm water for maximum result, but I was running a test using room temperature water because I don't know if I could always find warm water during my trip. For your information, in this test I'm using long wearing products that needs thorough (double) cleansing. I will share the products later in my beauty packing list post. I also made a video that I will post in my instagram (@deavalence)

Most of my make up is being cleansed. My eyebrow gel, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and most of powder, foundation and cheek products have gone. But to show you how much make up left, I was using Bioderma Sensibio. 

The result is not too bad considering the make up products I'm using and instead of warm water I'm using room temperature water. Last time (with almost same make up products with this one), I was using make up wipes, and I need triple cleanse before the make up gone completely.

Now we are at the end of the post and I should make judgement about the product.

Do I love it? Yes, I quite like it.

Is it useful for travelling? Yes, very useful.

Worth the price? Yes for me.

Do I mind not buying make up wipes and move to this product? I already moved 😉

Any complaint? That I have to wash after using it. I am a lazy girl 😂

Will I use it at home? Maybe. So far I'm loving cleansing oil more than this cloth. But who knows!

That's my honest opinion about this Original Make Up Eraser and I hope that this is helpful. Thank you for reading.

Frank Body Scrub Original

I think everybody knows about Frank. Coffee scrub that works like a magic. It targets cellulite, stretch marks, psoriasis, eczema, and other skin condition. 

Packaging is simple and environment friendly. It is like a paper envelope but with a plastic protector inside to prevent quality changing. It also has ziplock at the opening so after we use the product, we could close it again, no need to move it into a jar or something. It is a smart idea since Frank's products promote natural ingredients.

There are several choices of the scrub, but I choose the original one. It contains Robusta Roasted and Ground Coffee Beans, Cold Pressed Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E, Sea Salt, and other good stuffs. You can learn more on their website (www.frankbody.com) about the power of each ingredients.

The smell!! That coffee smell is so good (but keep in mind that it is not edible). The scent does not last throughout the day on my skin. It will disappear 1-2 hours after use. 

If you are a Frank user then you commit to not afraid to have a dirty bathroom. Lol.. Because it is a dry scrub, basically you will have coffee everywhere in your bathroom floor. Even after I wet my body and put few drops of water in the coffee scrub, it still spreads everywhere. 

Luckily I have a huge bathup at home. So I prefer to sit in my bathup, scrub, and wait 5 to 10 mins or sometimes more (because I bring my phone or a book while waiting. Lol..) then rinse with water.

At first I'm not comfortable to rinse only with water. I feel the almond oil makes a sticky feeling. But worry not, that sticky feeling gone after toweling. And it leaves my skin incredibly smooth and honestly it is comfortable too!

The picture above is just after 1x use. I have flaky and dry skin because of the bad weather lately. If you look closer the dry patch has mostly gone after scrubing. At the worse case, it is gone completely after 3rd use with the help of body lotion. It helps combat acne too, not that instant that it will disappear in 1st use, but you can see the difference after 1 or 2 weeks.

I didn't do test on cellulite, stretch marks or other skin problem. I guess we need discipline for skin problem like this. Use 2-3times a week on targeted areas is the suggestion from Frank. But I don't follow the rules, so I won't talk about this problem.

Have you ever tried Frank too? Thank you for reading..
