Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I read a article about this before trials were sent out for trial. I remember it said it could be used for a number of things. 1. To remove makeup 2. To freshen up 3. To clean brushes. (They are the three I remembered and have trialed this for.

The bottle is see through with a neat little cap. I love the cap.

Last night I tried it to clean my brushes. For this purpose I give 5 kisses. I will use the rest of my bottle for this purpose. They came up clean and it was done quicker than using a bossy brush cleaner

Last night I used this to freshen myself up (as if I was away camping.) I didn't like this. For some reason I felt like I had a film left on my skin (underarms) and had to go wash it off after awhile as it didn't go away. For this I give 0 kisses

Last night I had a very soft simple makeup on. As soon as I put this on my face it stung. I am not sure why as I use another product like this and it is my favourite product. So I put it down to my skin being slightly dry (which it wasn't as I found out this evening) I had to put a heavy moisturiser on as my skin felt stripped.

Today I wore a heavier makeup look. I used this product to remove the makeup on the right side of my face only. Again it stung slightly (very confused at this) As it dried I touched my face to find that same film feel. On the left side of my face I used my normal MW product. No stinging. Once it dried no film feel was left on my skin. So now I used my normal on the right side. I found more makeup was left with the Garnier. Now my skin feels clean and not needing moisturiser now I have removed the Garnier from my skin.

The Garnier doesn't remove my mascara. I had to rub alot which is bad for around the eye area. I give 0 kisses for makeup removal.

The three kisses I gave on "would I use it again", yes I would only for cleaning my makeup brushes.

I absolutely LOVE this product, i've been super duper scared of actually trying it out, i've heard so many good reviews on it but i couldn't find myself buying it whenever i seen it at the supermarket, i've used it for two nights now, i have had no reactions (yay! i have sensitive skin so this a A++++ in my books), it does exactly what it says it does (which is removing makeup and it definitely removed my makeup in a jiff!), and it's actually really refreshing for my skin!

When I first opened the bottle I was impressed with the scent, or lack thereof. It didn't smell like a fake chemical product. I had to put a fair bit on the cotton pad to get it to lift my make-up, and I'm not a heavy make-up wearer. It did an ok job of removing my make-up but to be honest not as good as another brand. It certainly doesn't just lift dirt away from the skin as the ad says! I had to follow up with my usual cleanser and a flannel.

I have been using this for the last few days and was really surprised. I have come so close to buying this many times so when I finally got to try it, it was a big deal. I am a heavy make up wearer and it took me two soaked cotton pads to remove it. Bare in mind, the removal process using this product involved NO need to drag and tug at the skin. I personally found the product to feel refreshing and I noticed less redness in my skin after using it. My skin looked hydrated, even, and radiant. And it felt VERY clean. My skin is combination so I feel as though I could say this product would be beneficial to so many skin types! :) There is no nasty acidic smell or anything like that, it is literally almost like water, but with longer lasting hydration. Overall, I am really liking this product so far and will continue using it, and most likely end up buying another one considering how affordable it is!

So unless it foams or can be activated with water - cleaners of the non-foaming variety have never been of much interest to me BUT then I was sent the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - and I can honestly say it does what it says it will! I've been using it for the past 5 days and at night to see if it takes off my makeup AND cleanses - I'm happy to report it does! I've used it to take both mineral powder and liquid foundation (just to be sure) and I was really pleased at the way my skin felt afterwards - no tightness or dryness and my skin felt really really clean. I will be buying this again!

When I first used this product I expected it to have no smell so it felt a bit strange at first but once I have completed I felt refreshed and clean. After using for a week I noticed my skin clearing up and not having to use as much make up as what I usually would have to. This product is no in my nightly routine. Love it!
