I bought a bottle of this a couple of months before it was sold in New Zealand. I'd seen so many reviews saying it was a life changing product so i decided to give it a go. I paid about $13 off an overseas website, I actually can't remember which one Now!
This bottle is huge, it is 400mls of product so I really feel like you get a good amount of product for your money. It says on the bottle that there is enough for 200 uses. I have just finished my bottle recently and I got probably a good 5 months of everyday usage out of this. Packaging wise, this is a very simple bottle. It's clear packaging so you can easily see how much product you have left. The only thing i don't really like is the opening, because this product is the consistency of water, i wish it had some kind of dropper opening so you could better control how much product comes out. I also don't feel like this would be travel friendly, if the cap opened up, the whole bottle would leak out.
This product looks and feels like water, it has no scent. If the bottle is shaken, it will froth up though so a least you know it has some kind of cleanser in it.
I like to use a small amount on a cotton pad. I like to wear a lot of mascara, liner and shadow. This product will remove it all including mascara like the collection does it all one. I use one pad per eye. Sometimes i get a bit of stinging but i find that is because i have used too much product at one time. For a little while, I did use this to remove my face makeup as well. I wasn't the biggest fan as it felt like it left a film on my face and I'm not into having to double cleanse at night time. I want my routine as quick as possible.
so anyway, I used up the last of my bottle 2 nights ago. I had kind of ended up telling myself that it was a bit of an over rated eye makeup remover and I wasn't sure if I would pick it up again. I used to swear by makeup wipes to remove eye makeup. So the next night I went back to my makeup wipes and it was Awful! I felt like it took me 3 times as long to remove my eye makeup and I had to rub harder. Needless to say, I will be picking up another bottle very soon and I'll just stick to the wipes for travel.
I've also read that this is good for cleaning makeup brushes but I haven't tried it out yet.
I got into the micellar craze about 6 months ago and I will never go back to not having this in my skincare routine. So to give you an idea I use an exfoliating cleanser every second day and every other I use a combo of cleansing wipes and this micellar water, and its great I love it. If you are one of those people that wears a natural face of makeup everyday and dread taking it off at night then you'll love this. I use a cleansing wipe to remove mascara and what I used to think was all my make up Mmmm I was wrong, so now I follow up with the water on a jumbo cotton pad and remove the remaining make up and trust me you'll be surprised at how much is remaining! It's great for sensitive skin as it has no scent and a little goes a long way, I have been using for 6 months and have about 2/3 of a bottle left. It also doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or like it has a weird film on it. Great value for money you can pick it up on sale for around $10. Go grab you some you won't regret it.
Tips: Use with a cotton pad not ball.
