I was in the market for a new make up remover for the inner lazy person inside me. Mainly, I was interested in looking for something that I could remove eye make up with in a few sweeps. So during my browse through a couple of drug stores, the Gariner Micellar Cleansing Water caught my eye. It reminded me of the Bioderma cleansing waters (which I have never tried, I know I know).

The bottle is massive - 400ml to be exact for £4.99. That's twice the size of the L'Oreal Micellar Cleaning water! It claims to offer 200 uses in each bottle. Its a very bold statement to make. And to be honest, I am not counting how many times I can use this product. I'm more interested in the results. Saying that, only time will tell. I have not used a full bottle yet.

The fluid is easily dispensed and the bottle is easy to squeeze. Make sure you have cotton pads at the ready!

One of the main selling points is the suitability of it's users; "even for sensitive skin" and "hypo-allergenic". There is no scent to this product which is great if you tend to be more sensitive to products with perfume. It also claims to removes make up from the face, lips and eyes.

I have been using this product for around 3 weeks now so I hoping that my judgement is fair. It has left my face feeling cleaner. It does remove the majority of my make up. It's most effective at removing eye make up (including water proof mascara) but it does not clear foundation as I expected. Due to this, I would recommend not using this on it's own. It can be incorporated into your daily skin routine. I decided to use it on the evening after work to help remove the the majority of my eye make up. Then, follow up with a full cleanse with your normal cleaning products.

I like it but I do not think I will re-purchase. It lacks the wow factor for me. The idea is simple but not as effective with all it's claims. Just being honest!

What's your opinion on these cleansing waters? Is there one that's really worked for you? Anything you can recommend? Please do not forget to leave a comment below.

Thanks for reading!

My 5 Beauty Resolutions for 2014

15:37

The New Year has arrived! Happy New Year (again) and thank you for taking some time to look at this post. Every year I set myself the same resolutions and stick to them for about, what, 2 weeks max before I am back to old habits. I break them for one reason or another, usually I lose my will power within a couple of days and think...bugger!

I have decided to make some achievable resolutions. Something which I have considered to be some SMART targets (...can you tell I work in education). These are mostly beauty related, with no. 5 being more of a personal target that I have set myself this year.

So, do you like my resolutions? I will keep you updated on my blog to let you know how I have done. What resolutions/ goals have you set yourself this year? Is there anything you would like to gain? Leave a comment below letting me know!
