Thanks for the review. I have been a long term user of Shu Uemura Cleansil Oil and I swear by it. And I have recommended it to many people. I have never wanted to try another cleansing oil. I too got a few samples of BB Cleansing Oil (you can guess what a heavy user of BB I am by the fact that they gave me a couple of samples). I found them equally effective but still stuck to my SU…but after reading your review, maybe I will be brave enough to switch to BB…

I have oily-combination skin and I must say I have never felt any oily residue on my skin after using SU.

My advice to others — if you are a heavy user of make-up, its important to have a very good cleanser that is effective and quick. So it is worthwhile to invest in SU or BB because they remove both foundation and eye make-up.

Nice blog! =)

I feel that Bobbi Brown is superior than Shu Uemura in the sense of Shu Uemura is made of mineral oil, while BB olive oil.

However, one thing I don’t like about BB is that it stings my eyes when I use to remove my eye make up.

Feel free to visit my new skincare blog. =)

[...] This is my first time trying the Bobbi Brown cosmetics other than the cleansing oil. [...]

Thank you for this comparison. I was actually at the BB counter today and almost bought the cleansing oil, but I stopped myself because I wanted to do more research to see which one is better, shu vs. BB. I think I will go back soon to get the BB one. I like the no oily feeling part.

I bought a bottle of SHU CO due to all the hype and it works great at removing makeup but it feels oily. Eventually it caused some oil/milia seed on my face =.=

Tried BB CO sample and it feels really great!

This review is just what I was looking for! Just discovered BB’s Cleansing Oil online and wondered, if it was any better than Shu Uemura’s. Can’t wait to order it now.

Just would like to share some feeback about shu umera. I have been using 4 bottles.. I feel that’s the best cleansing oil. And recently I know BB has newly launch the cleansing oil. With the above demo.. i think i will check out BB cleansing oil. But would like to recommend S.U eye liner..

Jyoan: thank u for liking this i hope it helps u to make a better choice

vonvon: yeah love at first use indeed!!!

eve: oh, the eyeliner i used was stila smudgepot, yes waterproof, and mascara too. I wouldn’t say shu is bad, it is just not working as good as the BB for me =)

Hi,
I would like to ask if the make-up you’re using on this test above is waterproof or not cause i always use waterproof products so i would like to have them cleanse clearly as well.
Also, is Shu Umera that bad?

After reading your post, I quickly tried out the sample bottle I have and I agree with you….this is love at 1st use for me. I’ll review it in my blog later.
