Eve Lom vs Emma Hardie Balm Cleansers

My very first balm cleanser was Eve Lom, took the plunge and paid S$90 for 50 ml from Tangs.*heartache*

But it is definitely worth the money spent!

Background of my skin: oily before mid day (with or without makeup) and with large pores. Pigmentation from pimples and redness.

I only use the balm cleanser at night to clean my face with makeup on, after 2-3 times of usage....OMG....I can feel my skin is feeling so smooth!! I NEVER had this feeling before. My skin look so hydrated and the next morning....my makeup feel so much easier to apply!! I use it with the muslin cloth that come with the packaging. Before I hit the bottom of the 50ml tub, my muslin cloth look kinda of gross  - dirty look with stain of foundation =P I think for hygiene purpose, it is better to use 2 muslin cloth for a tub of cleanser. I read in many blogs whereby most bloggers mentioned that EL contained mineral oils which is a no-no for our skin but after I finished whole tub....no breakouts on my sensitive skin *phew*

After my finished my tub of Eve Lom, I decided to try Emma Hardie since this is highly raved about in YT-land and there is free shipping from www.feelunique.com and it is much cheaper as compared to Eve Lom.
I paid P35 (about S$75) for 100ml. But I got to buy the muslin cloth separately from ebay as the packaging does not come with one. The EH muslin cloth is definitely of better quality than EL's. Paid for about S$10 for a piece including shipping.

Comparing both, I prefer Eve Lom better as I can really feel my skin is much better, moreee smoother. When I am using EH, I still feel that my skin is little rough at times, so the result is not that consistent as compare to EL. But after I switch to these 2 balm cleanser, my skin overall feel much better and even my friend comment that my makeup look better and pores is less obvious (cause skin is more hydrated therefore less visible).

I am definitely a convert =P
