manicure makeup removing towel

Makeup used (7day period) foundation med and full coverage (better skin and double wear ) concealer, cream blush,liquid highlight , mascaras (roller lash and bad girl) brow pencils. At first I was sceptical how can something so soft and fluffy ever remove my makeup. BUT how wrong was I, not only was this towel easy to use but it removed all my make up no matter what foundation etc i had used. Not only did I not get any dark under eyesore from left over mascara the next day, but my skin didn't feel tight or dried out. I used to first clean/ wipe of makeup with a face wipe then go in with a cloth and micellar water which left skin feeling dry. This towel works better than my old routine. I even tried using this towel then a cloth with micellar water to see if there was any makeup still on my skin there was nothing on the cloth this towel had already gotten rid of all my make up. The only thing I found was that it does take a bit longer to take off dark colored eyeshadow and crayon type eyeliner, I went over eye area once with towel then did rest of my face then went back with a clean area of towel over eyes again this got rid of all my make up.

Tips: This towel does work better clean or with little product build up on it (2/3 days max). It's OK to hand wash with soap or cleanser.

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.

just add water, and wipe away...perfect!

I'm terrible at removing makeup in the evening. I buy the makeup remover wipes at the supermarket because thats easy but they're actually quite pricey so when I run out I do wait to stretch the budget for them! A face cloth is too harsh for me, so a reusable microfibre towel is perfect, and a wee bonus is that its better for the planet

I received this towel in my Best Beauty Box Ever and was soooo excited to try this one, because water and a towel to remove makeup seems too good to be true! However it lives up to its claims. I was happy it lived up to all it said it was! I'd held off buying one because I couldn't figure how this would work with all that makeup that's 'stay put' these days!

I generally wear a fairly light amount of makeup but I've been wearing liquid eyeliner daily, and a fair amount of mascara and I was impressed with how it easily removes all of my makeup. I literally just wet the towel and wipe the makeup away. It does take a couple of minutes to remove completely but it does remove the makeup without being too harsh on the skin. On one occasion I had Kat Von D lock-it foundation on, and was surprised it took that off easily as well - because that stuff sticks to my skin!

Put simply - I love this towel. I'm a busy mum - so quick and easy is my motto with pretty much everything. Budget friendly is a bonus too. This one ticks the boxes for products to keep. I have no reason not to be better at removing makeup at night

I have the white towel. Makeup removed on anything white is not great, so recommend the pink if you can find it!

Follow the instructions on the pack - they're a great guide. Definitely wash it first. I didn't because I wanted to try it, and was impatient - and that just left me a little fluffy the first few uses !

I've washed it since using it for most of the week, and the makeup surprisingly washes away relatively well (we use home made wash powder so nothing too strong either - and it's still removed well!) - it has a little mascara staining after washing but it's clean.

Tips: - Wash it first - otherwise you get a few microfibre fluffys on your face

- their instructions for makeup removal are great - follow those

Soft and gentle.

I received the white version of this in a BBBE. I don't use this in the traditional way of just adding water I prefer to use this in combination with my Trilogy cleansing oil to remove excess Mascara residue gently. Make up wipes tend to irritate my eyes even sensitive ones so this reusable towel is prefect as I can just gently glide over my eyes without rubbing.

The towel unfortunately being white shows up stains and while some stains do come out in the wash you can't use bleach on them so over time it looks rather dirty.

At $14.95 it's a very reasonable price as a good pack of wipes can set you back $10 and these are environmental friendly. I highly recommend this towel.

Tips: Great for sensitive skin but wash regularly.

Ditch the cotton pads!

I find this a great towel when you are just needing a light clean without trying to remove heavy eye makeup. You don't have to put a cotton pad or wipe in the bin with this towel! It's not as good as using an oil cleanser but good for those in between days. I tend to use with micellar water on it first and give it a rinse with warm water in between swipes. You can get a couple of days out of it before washing in the machine if you use each end on separate days. The white one I have washes up nicely with minimal stains.

Eco Friendly/Save Money/Actually Works

Purchased online to replace my reusable cotton pads. Initially disappointed as it looked so small in the packaging, however when unfolded it's a decent size. (Slightly smaller than your average handtowel) Got mine in a lavender purple shade.

Super soft, just wet with water and rub lightly on face. I've been using this daily for the last couple of weeks. To be fair this removes 95% of my makeup, then I go in with a cleanser. Which I do with any makeup removal process. Super easy to use. I can manage to get about 5 uses out of this before washing. (Dividing it into separate sections so I don't use the same area twice.)

Great product, I imagine I will have this for some time to come. A more eco friendly option than the standard one use cotton pads. Also saving money as I don't need to buy makeup removers. Definitely recommend and will repurchase again.

Eco friendly substitute to pads

Getting old brought me more awareness on sustainability and skincare almost at the same time. For a couple of years, I have an internal conflict between the two but reusable make up remover towels like this is just the perfect solution!

It does the job well, very smooth on the face, and easy to use. It works, of course with the right remover (I use micellar water). The one I have is a bit longer than what I can see in the photo, so I work my way from one end to the other.

Every few days, I do a deep rinse, maybe some soap and a bit of micellar and then throw it in the washing and it comes out brand spanking new. I think it says there is a limit to how you can reuse but since I don't put make up too often, it has lasted me for at least a year now.

Tips: Before you throw it in the washing, rinse it with either some mild detergent or inexpensive micellar water!

A helpful tool for your makeup kit

I received this product from beautyreview for a trial and I very much enjoyed using it.

The towel is relatively easy to use, you wet one side of it first and then rub off your makeup in a circular motion with the towel.

I found that when I washed my face after work (which I wear a full, heavy, primed face of makeup for) the towel was only able to get off about 80% of my foundation rather than all of it. But when I was wearing slightly lighter makeup it was much easier to remove.

I found it also a little bit challenging to remove my mascara, while it was able to remove it after a lot of rubbing, my mascara caused the towel to be stained with black marks (even after washing) which of course seems to be expected but still is annoying for my inner perfectionist. For easiest mascara removal I would recommend applying a special eye makeup remover on the lashes first and then use the towel.

I really liked this towel as an alternative to using makeup wipes or removal solutions because of the fact it is purely water doing the removal - surely that has to be good for your skin! My only concern is that it is leaves some foundation residue when you have a heavier makeup look, which if you didn't wash your face before bed would end up staying on while you slept - not great for your skin.

Overall, I will definitely continue to enjoy using this towel but it most likely on an average day I will use it in conjunction with other removal products such as mascara removal solution - does this defeat the purpose of it? Perhaps. If I have a lighter face of makeup though this may be easy to quickly remove it before washing my face!

I would recommend this product mostly to those who do not wear too much makeup - however it would not go unused in anyone's makeup kit.

Manicare Makeup Removing Towel - works like magic!

The manicare makeup removing towel is something that's out of the ordinary. I was really intrigued with this product as it claims to remove makeup just by adding water. Luckily, I was able to give this a go and see if it really works or not. To my surprise, it DOES work and the great thing is, you only clean your face with WATER (no harsh chemicals whatsoever!). Even though I'm one of those people who luckily has a not-so sensitive skin, I still prefer to use products with natural ingredients especially when it comes to cleansing my skin so for me, this product works wonders (and it could work well for people with sensitive skin too).

The product came in a travel-sized packaging in a clear pouch like a zip bag. The towel's in a pretty pink color and the texture is so soft! At first, I was a bit scared to use it but after feeling it's texture, it feels like one of those that you'll use for a baby's skin.

The packaging comes with instructions on how to use it. First step is to machine wash prior to use. For me, I skipped this step and just wet the towel to use but it might be best to follow this step as some lint came off the towel (I guess the purpose for washing it first is to get rid of this). The next steps are easy, you just soak a part of the towel, use it to clean your face, then viola! Your make up comes off! :)

On a day-to-day basis, I normally just put on some light coverage makeup with nude/brown shades. To test this towel a bit further, I used it after having a great night out in town. I went for a heavier look with smoky black eyes, dark red lipstick, and more coverage. To my surprise, it still works (but I had to cleanse my face a bit longer than usual).

With regards to how many days I used the towel before washing it again, it took me 4 days before I decided to machine wash the towel. I used up a quarter (like splitting it in 4 boxes) of the towel each day and didn't even manage to use up the whole space (as I don't have much to clean off a daily basis) but after 4 days, I feel like it would best to clean it rather than use it again. I washed the part of the towel I use each night with my body wash but not all the makeup residue comes off. To me personally, having to use a towel again and again where I see parts of it looking stained is a no-no so I had to clean it after using it a few times.

After machine wash, it's all clean and good to use again so I have no complaints about this.

Overall, I think this product is amazing. It does what it claims and it didn't harm my skin. It would save you a lot rather than having to buy makeup wipes and get new ones once they ran out. But for people who's not into putting effort on cleaning makeup products and prefers disposable ones, this would not suit them, as it would take a bit of care and effort to use this product and use it to it's full potential.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone but also would be depending on the person's preference for cleansing products.

Tips: So you don't have to wash the towel again and again, it would be good to just use one side of the towel every time you use it. With normal makeup wipes/towels that are disposable, people's tendency is to use the whole wipe in one go. For this towel, it would be unwise to do that as you'll easily ran out of clean space to use for cleaning your face.

Also, this would suit people who's on a budget but wants a reliable cleaning product as you won't have to buy wipes once they ran out. But if you're someone who doesn't have time to clean the product every so often, then best to stick with the disposable wipes or facial wash. :)

manicure makeup removing towel

This little towel is great after a night out or if you are going away for a few nights and you have to travel light!!. I was suprised at how much makeup it actually removed and its super soft on the skin, i personally would still use a cleanser but this is great if you dont have one with you,or to use after youve cleansed!
