Anna Sui Deep Cleansing Oil

holler, as mentioned in my previous post, i'm back here with a review on the new cleansing oil i just got yesterday, it's Anna Sui Deep Cleansing Oil, it is quite a new product from Anna Sui, the older version of their cleansing oil used to come with a different container, which is a transparent one, and it is peony scented, while the latest cleansing oil from Anna Sui is rose scented. the rose scented one is the mainreason why i chose the newer version instead of choosing the peony scented one, because i have other product from Anna Sui which is also peony scented, but i dont find myself liking the scent very much, rose is better, rose is amazing! when it comes to the performance of the product, i find it as great as Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil that i used to be using. The texture of both of the products is very smooth, one of the different parts of these products is that how they melt our mascara, Shu Uemura usually melt the fibre of the mascara in order to remove it from our lashes, while Anna Sui actually remove by peeling your mascara off, then melt it as you rub, so it feels kinda funny to have touched the fibre before it melts.. but the cleansing result is really good, both of them. every type of cleansing oil must not be used with water when it first touches your face, you massage and remove your make up by using only the cleansing oil itself, when you feel you are good to go, then you add in some water to further massage, here is where i find Anna Sui's texture is different from Shu Uemura. when the oil get contact with water, it will transform into some cleansing milk, Shu Uemura has the richer texture as compared to Anna Sui, so you feel smoother after using Shu Uemura cleansing oil, that's when you just use the oil itself, without cleaning your face again using your facial foam, most of the cleansing oil in the market claims that after using that particular cleansing oil, you do not need to clean your face again using any facial foam, but i definately recommend cleaning your face again with your facial products, to achieve the deep cleansing result, i like the feeling of being total matte, so it's totally up to you. the Anna Sui cleansing oil comes in 200ml, while the Shu Uemura is 150ml (another size is like 400ml if im not mistaken), but Anna Sui is doing RM1 cheaper than Shu Uemura. Both of the products are also recommended, but i definately recommend cleansing oil rather than make up remover in liquid form, to be frank, you need to be more patient in using cleansing oil as it doesnt immediately remove your make up, but it definately clean up better than make up remover, and you need only 2-3 pumps for the whole face, which i think very practical.. the cleaning step is important to everyone who put on make up on their face, so choose the right and good make up remover. that's basically all i want to say about my new cleansing oil, hope this is helpful. here i have some pictures..
