MAC Cleanse Off Oil Review

I honestly love this with all my heart, i have the cleanse off oil in tranquil, it comes in a handy pump dispencer bottle and is a light blue colour, ive struggled to find a good cleanser that doesnt leave me feeling dry and tight afterwards, and gets all the make up off my face.

It really helps to loosen up stubborn make up especially lippy and mascara and doesnt leave any residue and my skin feels fantastic afterwards

It does have a few essential oils like lavender etc in it so if you are overly sensitive it may not be the best bet for you, i find if i use it twice a day it can irritate my skin, so ive comprimised to using it once at night and have no problems anymore :)

First thing is first, I have a deep love for cleansing oils! So I didn't think twice about trying MAC's Cleanse Off Oil, and I'm glad I did.

Now I am always after packaging that is simple, effective and easy to use & access. The MAC Cleanse Off Oil is in a pump bottle, giving you the enough product just with a pump or two. Once you have pumped enough product, you can twist the lid to lock it so it doesn't spill or leak.

Now, the part you are probably all waiting for.... How is the product? Well, I loved it. It's a must have! I prefer oils like I said earlier, it looks and feels more like a thick water, once you add to water it turns white and becomes more of an oily texture. The best thing is it removes everything, just picks up all the makeup and cleanse it off. I always wash with a cloth to get everything out of all the little areas of your face, best thing is it removes your heavy eye makeup. I also found there is no excess oil after.

I was wondering what I would use once my ZA oil cleanser had run out, and now I know.

I have not bought any of MAC skincare products, I do enjoy their make up so it was probably a natural progression that I try some products in their skin care range.

I have struggled in the past to gey waterproof mascara off [with the exception of ZA] and I feel that is a true test of a great make up remover.

I put some oil cleanser on a cotton pad and gently swipe across my eyes and off comes all the make up I have worn all day. It is really that simple! I use it on the rest of my face, just easy. It is really effective, removes every trace of make up every time. My skin feels soft and clean after every use.

It comes in a 150ml clear plastic bottle with a pump applicator which is so easy to use. I will purchase this again.

This cleansing oil is amazing for removing make up. It's soft and gentle on the skin and gets even the toughest make up off! It's nice and light and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy afterwards.

I find this Cleanse Off Oil does the trick to remove my makeup. It's quick and easy to use and I feel refreshed afterwards. It has a subtle lemon smell which is great. I have extremely sensitive skin but find this doesn't irritate me at all and helps keep my skin clean and soft.

This is a must have if you love to wear lots of make up. When I wear my heavy makeup I use to find it hard to get off I tried this as I was told to give it ago. A few pumps in the hands and rub it all over the face and eyes (with them closed) then grab a warm water and rub on top of the oil. Now grab a warm towel and rub it off and Bam! its all gone. It really is that easy to get it all off and being a oil it will not leave your skin feeling oil at all. This will also last you awhile. Cleanse as normal after you have use this.

I recently did a order through Nordstrom using my YouShop account. I chose to order some MAC products through Nordstrom as I wanted some other beauty products at the same time. It is a great place to order from if they have the MAC products you want as you get the same cheap US prices but you can get other products at the same time (eg Charlotte Tilbury). I picked up the smaller travel size of this to start with as I like to try out skincare before buying full sizes where I can.

The packaging of this is lovely. I like that the bottom half is clear so that you can see how much product is left. The pump is very practical. It is matte black. I like that you can move the lid to the side to lock it so that when travelling extra product doesn't come out. The pump doesn't dispense very much product, but this is a very good thing as you don't need much product as you would think.

The oil itself is clear, it has a very pleasant scent like Lavender and herbally. I really like the scent. You only need a tiny amount to rub all into your skin and it just disintegrates your makeup. I then add a wee bit of water and rub it into my skin, it continues to just make your makeup including waterproof mascara disappear. Once you rinse this off it all disappears and doesn't even leave a residue like my other oil cleanser does. Impressed. I haven't had any problems with this breaking my skin out at all. Also as it is an oil it doesn't strip your skin at all so leaves my skin feeling really nice and moisturised.

I have quite a few cleansers on the go at the moment but this is definitely on the repurchase list! The only reason I wouldn't recommend this to a friend would be the price and availability. I would recommend getting the smaller size first to anyone that has sensitive skin.

This was given to me as a gift and probably isn't something I would buy myself due to the price.

However in saying that, I have loved using it! You only need one or two squirts and that covers your whole face. I just use my hands to spread it all over and all over my eyes.

You then need to use another product, tissues, babywipes or water to wash off the oil. It takes off every single bit of your makeup completely, even all eye makeup!

If you can afford would recommend

I had recently done quite a large MAC haul through their website but I had to split them up into two orders as there is a limit on how much you can spend overseas and I didn't want to get stung with a huge customs bill.

I was only going to order one sized to go cleanse off oil (I like to try smaller sizes before I comit to the full sized products) but something told me I needed to buy two, and I'm so glad I did.

The first time I used it I instantly fell in love. I had to use roughly 4 pumps to get enough product (with the sized to go oil less product comes out which is why I needed a few pumps), I massaged it into my hands and applied it all over my face. As soon as I applied it, I noticed my makeup basically just melting away. I could instantly see my bare skin. It broke down my makeup so easily. I was completely blown away.

It felt so light on my skin, the more I massaged it in, the more it felt like a relaxing facial massage oil. It didn't feel oily even though it is an oil cleanser.

It removed my face makeup with ease and it even removed my eye makeup aswell. With my Za oil cleanser I struggle to remove my mascara and end up having to thoroughly masssge my lashes to help remove my mascara but I didn't have that problem with this oil cleanser. I simply wet my fingers and ran my fingers over my lashes a couple of times and the bulk of it was removed just like that.

It's so easy to wipe off the oil once you've finished. You can either get a a warm (or cold) flannel and simply wipe it away.

My skin feels so refreshed afterwards, it doesn't have that squeaky clean feeling which is great because I'm not a fan of that squeaky clean feeling at all.

I find that no matter which form of makeup remover I use, I still use my skinfood cleans all afterwards just to ensure that my skin is clean. Even though with this cleansing oil it breaks away and removes my makeup completely, I will still follow up with a cream cleanser. And that's what removes the excess eye makeup.

I haven't noticed any new breakouts or any other problems with my skin since using this oil so it's definitely something I'll repurchase.

There is a subtle scent to it which smells quite lovely though I can't quite put my finger on it.

I have already added the full size version to my cart so it looks like anoter MAC order wont be too far away.
