Manicare Makeup Removing Towel

I was very excited to be selected for this trial as I've heard about these towels from other brands and how they're changing the way you remove your makeup!

The packaging was nice. You could see the towel and it was also easy to open which saves a bit of frustration.

First things first, you must machine wash the towel before first use! It will still work, just incredibly slowly and with a lot of rubbing.

To use you just wet the towel with warm water, squeeze it out a little, and just wipe off your makeup. Pretty straightforward, however this is where things started to go a little awry for me. I had to keep re-wetting my towel ( I didn't want it dripping everywhere so would squeeze the excess but not hugely. It was still quite wet.) and I found it was way too harsh for my eye area, removing a few precious eyelashes in the process.

As for the overall effectiveness, I tried this with both my normal everyday makeup (primer, coloured face powder, eyeshadow, mascara, brow mascara), and with a full face of longwear makeup including Revlon Colourstay foundation. It definitely removed most of it, but when I went in afterwards with a cotton pad and micellar water there was still quite a bit of colouration on the pad.

What I'd suggest is to use this as a type of "pre-cleanse" especially for longwear foundations which are typically harder to remove, and follow up with a good face cleanser.

Tips: Machine wash before first use and avoid the delicate eye area.

So simple and effective

I was very grateful to be able to trial this thank you BR.

It's an oval shaped pink towel. Super soft and fluffy as well. it is recommended that you machine wash it before using which I did.

I have now used this towel for five nights in a row, obviously I like it....alot! It's unbelievably easy to use, simply wet it and wipe your face with one side of the towel. Once your makeup is removed and this will happen very quickly, flip the towel over and wipe your face again. Done! I had no skin irritation afterwards and I personally only had to wipe gently as well.

I hand washed it afterwards which was also simple and hung it on the towel rail to dry for the next evening. Now that it's Friday, it's been put in the washing machine again.

Not only did it remove ALL of my makeup within seconds, it also left my skin feeling and looking clean. I honestly can't believe how quickly it removed 99% of my waterproof mascara, that was the selling point right there for me personally. No more panda eyes or scrubbing for me.

The towel was also fragrance free which I preferred and I would highly recommend it.

Tips: Use your favorite cleanser afterwards to complete.

Holy cow!

I in no way expected this to work so well! It got every bit of my make-up off and I purposefully put on my toughest make-up. I love how soft it is so does not leave my skin feeling sand papered and is so easy to use and I love not having to use unneeded products and the fact that it is reusable is a HUGE plus for me!

Makeup removing towel

This is a good product however it doesn't totally do what I would like it to, it is great at getting off powder products such as eyeshadow and eyebrow powder, and other pace products like foundation and face powder. I found that this did little to remove my more stubborn products such as mascara and eyeliner also highly pigmented lipsticks. I would use it again if I was just looking to quickly remove my makeup. I do think that to effectively remove your makeup you do need to follow up with a cleanser or some form of makeup remover as I don't think it gets 100% of makeup off. All in all it is a relatively good product and I would use it again just not on its own.

Tips: I recommend using a makeup remover or a face cleanser afterward so that make up doesn't clog the pores, or using a eye makeup before or afterward as it doesn't seem to get off water proof products. I wouldn't use this alone unless I really just wanted to get my makeup off and get into bed because it does leave a layer of makeup on, for me it did anyway.

Manicare Makeup Removing Towel

I was really excited to receive this product to trial for a week. I thought yay, finally an easy way to remove my makeup without ruining all of my good face cloths! My normal makeup removing routine is some gentle soap on a face cloth then my usual face cleanser, which always does the trick! The packaging for this product says "just add water" - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The manicare face cloth just smeared my foundation over my face, and didn't remove much at all. As for my eyeliner and mascara, we'll, it left me looking like a raccoon. It took some of the mascara and eye liner off, however what was on the face cloth did not wash out!

Pros: Small, travel size face cloth Quick to dry

Cons: Didn't remove much of my makeup Mascara and eyeliner stains

Handy makeup remover

I received his cute pink soft towel to remove all stubborn makeup.

First of all you had to machine wash it before use to make it more softer but not too sure why. Guess it is like how you should wash new towels first before use so they work better.

Instructions say that to wet one side of the towel and use circular movements to remove stubborn makeup and then use the other side of the towel to get the residual makeup off. It was good to get rid of the normal makeup but did not remove any of my waterproof mascara. I had to use makeup remover solution to do that unfortunately. However when I wore my normal mascara the next day the towel did. Good job.

Was handy to use but didn't remove stubborn makeup.

Tips: Like that it is reusable. Definitely nice and soft on the skin.

Pretty good product!

First of all, thanks Beauty Review for the trial op!

The product itself is a long pink fluffy cloth, which is very soft. The first thing I noticed about it was that it took a while to feel really wet. After running it under the tap and wringing it out, it still feels dry to touch, but feels damp on your face.

As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, this product was good for getting off most of my makeup however I needed to go over my eyes a couple times to get the mascara off. I feel like if you wore a lot of eye makeup, you may need to use another product to help get it off.

It's a good product to use at the end of the night, rather than makeup remover wipes, especially if you have sensitive skin. I think that this will be good for travel and I will continue to use it.

Tips: Good for light makeup, you may need to go over a couple times if you're wearing heavy eye makeup etc. Worth getting a couple if you use it everyday as it can get dirty quickly!

Quick way to wipe away the day

I have used many make up removing products; from make up wipes to make up cleansing balms. They have all done the trick but there has always one down buzz- they haven't always effectively removed stubborn mascara and eye make up. I was excited to try the Manicare Makeup Removing Towel. It promised to remove stubborn makeup with just water. And leave your skin feeling clean. When i first tried it, I wet one side and rubbed my eye make up and guess what, it came off straight away! It left my face feeling clean, although I did use cleanser as well as this is part of my daily routine. I have continued to use this every day, it is great if you do not have much time to take off your make up. The only downside is that you need to wash it often to keep it clean. I am glad i discovered this product - and finally found a product that quickly effectively takes off my eye make up!

Tips: Use one half of the towel each time so that you can use the other half next time. This is so you do not have to wash it everyday

Make up towel

This wee towel was great. I was a bit skeptical at first, but really removes all you make up. I don't have heavy make up, probably just average but it took it all off. Even eyeliner and mascara! Make sure you wash it before you use it.

Tips: It says to was it once a week but I wash it probably every four days. I'm going to get another one so I can keep using one while the other is in the wash

Handy

I picked one of these up thinking it was a microfiber towel. Lesson 1, read the materials listed on the packet.

However while it looked like the microfiber cloth I had but wasn't, it did clean nearly as well. With lighter make up it wiped it away in seconds, with heavier make up (particularly around they eyes) a bit more rubbing and scrubbing is required.

All and all, the cloth did what it promised and perfermed how I hoped.

I also put mine in the washing machine nearly every night to remove the black eyeliner stains and they always come out properly.

Tips: Serveral of these types of cloths are useful.
