MAC Cleanse Off Oil


First MAC product in my house! xD Nicole gave this to me or I would never have gotten it. One of the things I check when purchasing cleansing oil is the presence of mineral oil (obviously after ability to remove makeup). It is said to cause skin problems & clog pores. Foundations with mineral oil don't really bother me but it seems cleansing oils do (none in this!).

Moving on to it's ability to remove makeup.. Here I have waterproof mascara, liquid liner, pencil liner, foundation, dark eyeshadow and eyebrow pencil on my hand. Plus I added some falsies glue on top.


Art fail.. lolz This is why I'm bad at 'Draw Something'.


Firstly, I must say that the pump is a big PITA! It's not easy to control and the liquid comes flying out, splashing around. The pump also doubles as a lock. Twisting it in one direction locks it but it's really loose so definitely not recommended for travel.

2-3 pumps is sufficient for my face. Don't be stingy with cleansing oil.. When using too little, it feels like all the dirt and makeup is going back into my skin! The consistency of this is great. Not too watery or thick. Plus it smells nice ^_^

** Must be applied on dry skin with dry hands


Yuck.. Don't open your eyes when massaging with cleansing oil or you will face an ugly sight xD Plus, it might get into your eyes and make it cloudy. It's quite easy to dissolve makeup with.

Emulsifies easily with water~ Normally it's whitish but I used dark makeup here.


It removed everything except for the eyelash glue which required my Maybelline Makeup Remover with a cotton pad.


I always prefer to double cleanse with a facial wash to remove the cleansing oil or I'll feel uncomfortable. This doesn't leave much of a film or oily feel though.


Product says : An industry-strength oil-based makeup remover that's gentle on the skin. Botanically formulated with oils of olive fruit, evening primrose and jojoba seed and absolutely 100 percent mineral-oil free. Massages onto the skin to loosen all makeup, including waterproof mascara. Emulsifies into a lotion-type liquid with water: rinses off easily, no tissues required - and no residue! Protects with vitamin E. Skin softening and conditioning. Good for all skin types.
Size : 150 ml / 5.0 us fl. oz.
Price : RM 95
Made in Japan

Pros : No mineral oil, nice smell, emulsifies easily, removes makeup well, not too hard to wash off
Cons : Bad pump & lock, pricey

My conclusion : Overall, I think it's a good cleansing oil if you can afford it (my sis bought 1 after trying it). If I do purchase this, I'm thinking of transferring it to another bottle =/ I washed my bottle and somehow, water managed to get in and it emulsified a little =_="

  4. Not as bad as other cleansing oils I've tried, definitely. But I think the drying effect comes from the facial wash I use after =/

  7. Haha...really creative how you did 'eye make up' on your hand to show its abilities! Sounds good to me but I'm sticking to regular removers until my skin improves from its semi oily state...just paranoid about oils I guess. thanks for sharing! :)

  11. Even my oil based eye makeup remover could not, without the cotton. So I guess it's the method

  15. Well, it's cheaper than a lot of high end products. You mean like cleansing creams or milk? I find those unbearably greasy

  17. I wonder if the oil is harmful if left on. But considering all the stuff it just melted off my face, there is no way Im not removing it completely
