I have been using cleansing oil by Shu Uemura and have been thoroughly happy. This is the holy grail of cleansing oils,
But when I got two deluxe sized samples of Nars Cleansing Oil -enough for a few days of washing, I was ready to put it to the test.
I wear very waterproof mascara and a full face of makeup: foundation, blush and eyeshadow. All are premium products, so they require a real good cleaner for removal. The Nars did not fare well at removing the waterproof eye makeup. And I had to use so much of it -much more than what need with the Shu.
It did not emulsify well at all. Dd not build up a nice lather like the Shu.
My skin did feel cleansed after I used it, and it did have a clean glow, The fragrance was also very light and pleasant (Origins Cleansing Oil has a strong, medicinal-floral fragrance that lingers)
Overall, I'd say that the Nars Cleansing Oil is average. Factor in the price, and it goes a notch down Shu Uemura is actually more expensive, but it is so much more effective. Especially if you wear waterproof cosmetics.Good product and for an amazing price. Definitely up there with Mac and other name brand cleansing oils.
Will repurchase. This is a highly effective product. I have oily sensitive skin, so I use a few drops of this before washing. It has dissolved every trace of makeup on my face every time. I had a domino mask of black eyeshadow and glitter, and this wiped it right off. It has also never made my normally sensitive eyes sting. You only need a pump or two, so a 6.7 oz bottle will last you months. The price is well worth it, and this product has earned a spot on my sink.
