I was out shopping with my mum yesterday and I happened to pick up the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I had seen many YouTubers and bloggers say about how great this product was so I thought I would try it out for myself! The RRP of this product is £4.99 but I found it as it was on offer for £3.99.My first impressions of this product before using it was that the packaging was really simple and cute, which really sold the product to me! As I bought it, I intended on using it when removing heavy eye make up after a night out as it takes me numerous make up wipes to take my eye make up off so I thought this would be more cost effective and I would continue to use make up wipes to remove my face make up.
As soon as I came home from shopping, I immediately decided to try it out, however I was only wearing light concealer and very little mascara. The cleansing water was so refreshing on my eyes and I must admit that I did get it in my eyes also, and it didn't sting whatsoever! It worked really well on removing my very light make up, so I then decided to put it to the test the next day where I applied very heavy eye make up which I would typically wear on a night out.
I applied my make up and wore it for a few hours to simulate being out to get an accurate result. I simply poured some of the product onto a cotton pad and started wiping at my eyes, first removing my eyeshadow, then eyeliner and then mascara. I personally struggle when removing my mascara as I tend to apply a lot of it when going out as I like my eyes to have a lot of volume to them.
This product worked incredibly. It wasn't like any other make up remover I've tried as it is obviously a cleanser too. It only took me one cotton pad for each eye to remove my make up and barely any of the cleansing water. Once I removed my eye make up fully, I went around my eye-area and removed my concealer below my eyes and the make up on my eyebrows. I was also wearing a pink lip stick stainer which is completely impossible to remove with a regular make up wipe or water, however the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water worked a dream for this.
Once I was finished, I simply used one make up wipe to remove the rest of my make up on my face. I then splashed cold water all over my face, patted it dry with a towel and got one final cotton pad and put the cleansing water all of my face to finish, and allowed it to dry in itself. This allowed my skin to recover from wearing the make up, and then I later moisturized my face!
