I remember how crazy Makeup obsessives became when the Garnier Micellar water was released, it was a crazy frenzy, and finding this was so hard! For 3 months I tried to find this with no luck, It was so distressing when you want something but cant get your hands on one.
That was until people were having bad reactions to it, so many were having reactions to the Micellar water and that was enough to put me off purchasing the product. Months went by (and the craze had died down) when I finally purchased some.
I made sure the first time I used this that I would be wearing a full coverage foundation and heavy eye makeup just to test it out properly. I had soaked a handful of cotton pads with Micellar water and started at my forehead, I couldnt believe how easy it removed Estee lauder double wear foundation. Next was my eyes, it removed my dark eye makeup with ease. I was very VERY surprised with the outcome, especially when it looks like its just water from the outside.
It also makes my face feel so refreshed at the end of the day, it gives a cooling effect to my skin which is an added bonus. I have been using this product for 2+weeks and I have had no reaction to it (fingers crossed)
This product melts away makeup so easily, I am very happy with this product and I wish I had purchased some sooner. I would call this magical water, and yes I will be repurchasing this!
I received a small bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water to review.
This stuff is a staple in my skincare/makeup removal routine. It's the first thing I reach for every night when getting ready for bed.
Just a couple of shakes onto a cotton pad is enough to remove all my eye makeup and most of my foundation. A second pass over my face will get it clean enough that I don't feel the need to wash my face (if I'm really desperate to get to bed!) I usually use a cleanser after this if I'm doing my full skincare routine.
This micellar water has no scent and feels like water, however it leaves my normal/dry skin feeling hydrated and comfortable - I could skip moisturiser and my face wouldn't hate me. It doesn't leave any residue on my skin.
It won't remove waterproof makeup so you'll need a dedicated makeup remover for that, but it'll remove even the heaviest non-waterproof makeup easily and gently.
I really have nothing bad to say about this product. It's affordable, lasts a long time, easy to use, effective and truly a must-have.
Tips: To save space and reduce weight during travel, put some cotton pads in a ziploc bag and squirt in enough micellar water to saturate the pads.
