[Review] Skin Food Black Sugar Cleansing Oil

Living in Hawaii has made it hard to get a lot of skin care products that I want. Sadly, Hawaii does not have a branch of Skin Food (yet). So recently, I bought a cleansing oil from Skin Food on eBay (from here).

Personally I am not a big fan of using cleansing oils to remove makeup and this was no exception. While cleansing oils do remove makeup faster and more effortless than other forms of makeup remover (water or tissue), it makes my skin feel incredibly greasy. While I dislike using the cleansing oils because I find it hard to completely remove all the excessive oils from my skin, my primary concern is how irritated my eyes get when I try to remove my eye makeup. 

I recommend using a cotton pad to put the cleansing oil on

Skin Food's Black Sugar Cleansing Oil removes all my makeup effortlessly. However, whenever I try to remove my eye makeup (which primarily consists of eyeliner and sometimes mascara), I feel like it gets into my eyes because they get irritated afterwards. I do use the cleansing oil every so often when I decide to wear BB creams or concealers. It removes the skin makeup so fast. I just don't really recommend using it around the eye area - especially if your eyes are sensitive towards irritants.

Rating 6/10

Pros: Removes makeup quickly and effortlessly, great with removing BB creams and foundation

Cons: Irritates the eye when removing eye makeup

Thanks for tuning in and see you soon! :)
