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!

Not the ideal solution

I was so excited to get another trial from BR! Especially for something that looked like a facecloth but cost close to $20.

The packaging is simple, but does the job of showing you the product, as well as portraying the hefty claims of being able to remove stubborn makeup with just water. To be honest each time I read it I thought that it belonged in an informercial.

The cloth itself is bright pink - perfect for me to find in the shower once I can't see when my glasses are off :P

The cloth itself is very soft, so I can see why it would be great for sensitive skin. I have used this a few times and really I don't know if I'm seeing what the fuss is about. Yes it removes makeup, but is it any better than any other facecloth. I think not. In particular I found it crap at removing eyeliner and mascara... but really I don't know if I expected it to be that good. My main gripe with this product is the fact that really to not breed bacteria you would need to wash this every single day. Personally I am NOT doing washing everyday, and when I can pick up a four pack of faceclothes from KMart for $5 why would I bother spending $20 on one.

One place where I see this towel having great value is the gym. Perfect for your gym bag so that you can take your makeup off before working out, but you don't need to bring extra products to remove your makeup.

The other thing that I liked about this is that it could be the perfect way to remove your makeup before actually cleansing. That way your cleanser that you are spending your hard earned money on actually cleanses your skin rather than just removing makeup.

The inner greeny in me also loves this. No more using makeup removing wipes and chucking them in the bin. This way you have a reusable cloth that isn't just something that you are chucking in the bin everyday. Very cool.

Not a winner for me. But I'm sure people will be able to find a time and a place for it.

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.

Exceeded Expectations!

This is Amazing!!! I initially had mixed feelings about this product. I thought it was awesome that it's reusable and doesn't need any added products that will end up polluting our environment. But I was also sceptical about it's effectiveness. I did Not need to worry at all, after throwing it in the wash, it dried very quickly. Running it under the tap and wringing it out is as easy as it sounds, and all my makeup (powder, eye make up including mascara and lippie) came off easily. The Manicure Makeup Removing Towel is more effective then any other face wipes I've ever used and I can not stress enough how awesome it is that there are no rubbish/pollutants from it. I was especially amazed how easily and cleanly my mascara came off. I absoluetly love this!

Tips: I would suggest buying 2 or more of these. It would be handy to have a spare incase one gets stuck at the bottom of the washing pile :)

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

Manicare Makeup Removing Towel ♡

Packaging was nice and simple; resealable bag is a plus! It feels amazing! So soft.. very similar to a microfiber cloth; but fluffier & its bright pink, which is a good colour if you're unorganized like me..

Following instructions on the back: machine wash prior to use. It doesn't take very long to dry which is a bonus (would be especially useful if traveling and camping!) I study for 3 days then 3 days of work which means I was able to test this product on light vs heavy foundation.

Light make up its perfect for; following the instructions just wet with warm water then watch the magic happen! :) Had no problem removing mineral powder, tinted lip balm & pencil eyeliner. Skin looks so fresh and clean afterwards too which is a must for my problem skin! :(

On full coverage makeup, I would recommend using a follow up cleanser or makeup remover. Unfortunately with only a gentle motion (same as on light makeup) it only spread my concealer around; giving it a strange blotchy appearance; although with more pressure and an extra few moments it did manage to remove most of the concealer/powder combo.. I found it didn't like my mascara either; the cloth kept somehow getting stuck on my eyelashes. Although I have always had a problem with stubborn mascara! And happily it removed my liquid eyeliner and lipstick with ease.

All in all; neat product & cute design. Will be something I will take away traveling for convenience but will be sure to pack some backup make up remover wipes too ;) Would be perfect for those nights when you just want to quickly remove the day from your face and hop into bed!

Shi x ♡

Tips: After use can either machine wash, or if you're like me and don't manage to find time to do a load of washing each day; just rinsing in hot water with antibacterial soap has the same effect. Although I would recommend washing atleast 2x week (using 5 days or more a week) as we all know how much bad stuff we gather onto our faces each day! :/
