I'm very picky when it comes to removing my makeup, not just because I want only the very best products to do the job, as I find I can make a lot of different products work for me even if they didn't to start off with! Personally I feel it's all about how you use it, not the product itself...only sometimes though!!
Micellar waters have been a beauty craze for what seems like a good year or two now, I believe they started to come onto the scene when every blogger seemed to pick up Bioderma, which is a brand of micellar cleansing water. I personally have never tried it, but there are so many good reviews out there that I must remember to give it a whirl!
I mentioned in my very first blogpost back in September that I used the L'Oreal micellar water religiously! It was the only makeup remover I would use as it was what I knew worked for my skin, and the last thing anybody wants is a pesky breakout after having relatively clear skin for quite a while! After running out of the L'Oreal water, I opted for one which was on offer for £2.50 at the time I purchased it. This is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
From my experience, I can't tell a major difference in the two products - they both do the same job pretty much the same way...after all they are the same product! However, to be gentle on the bank balance I would recommend the Garnier version over the L'Oreal one as even at full price it is cheaper and easier to purchase if you are on a budget.
The Garnier version claims that this bottle of micellar water will do 200 uses - which is pretty fantastic if it's not a false claim! Obviously we all use more than one cotton pad of makeup remover to get rid of every trace of makeup, but it's always good to know a rough estimate of uses!
As for actual removal, it does a brilliant job of taking off your foundation, powder, blush and any other face products from the day. It removes it almost effortlessly which I couldn't believe when I first tried it! If you are a 'heavy' eye makeup wearer, then you may need one cotton pad of the water per eye, to make life less messy and just generally easier for you. If this seems like too much of a faff, you could always use a separate product altogether!
Overall, I really would recommend this product to anybody thinking of trying it out, or for anyone that is on the market for a new makeup remover!
What is your favourite makeup remover? and have you tried any micellar waters before?!
Take Care!
