Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse & BB Mineral White

Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse & BB Mineral White

It's a rare non-nail related post but I have to rant a little about the Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse which is supposed to be a "5-in 1 multi-functional foamy cleanser and makeup remover" that promises to enable you to "skip double cleansing". However, I found it not that effective and definitely will not depend on it to clean off my makeup thoroughly. It also has a citrus/lemon smell which I do not like, even though it is supposed to be fragrance fee.

On the other hand, Ettusais BB Mineral White is not too bad. I like that it has SPF45 PA++ and its coverage is quite sufficient for me.

Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse cap that you have to flip up before pressing down. The foam is pretty dense as you can see.

My hand looks clean but from the before (left) and after (right) wiping with toner, you can see there is residue >.< [I have no idea why my cotton pad looks dirty (lighting?) but just focus on the centre which is wet with toner :p]

So in conclusion, while I might recommend Ettusais BB Mineral White for its good sun protection, decent coverage and affordability (S$40), I will not be repurchasing Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse since it doesn't even cleanse its own brand of BB cream off well despite its claims to be a makeup remover and it's too expensive to me (S$32) to be a normal face wash.

So do let me know if you have any recommendations for a true one-step makeup remover+cleanser :) It's been a long post, thanks for viewing till the end!
