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

We all want something that can remove makeup without hassle. A makeup removing towel sounds a bit too good to be true if you ask me. So I was intrigued to find out if this really did the trick...or not.

The first step was to machine wash it before use as per instructed on the resealable packet/bag, which is the norm when washing towels anyway - no big deal.

I found it very easy to use. It says on the packet to wet one side of the towel with warm water and the rest is pretty easy...wash your face! When I wet the towel it absorbed so much water that it was drenched as you would expect but when I wrung the towel I couldn't believe how "dry" it felt. It felt moist on my face but felt dry on my hands. The first time I used it I did find I had to rinse it under water a couple of times as I was second guessing the dryness of it.

One side of the towel is more fluffy than the other so you will have a preference on which side to use. It feels extremely soft and gentle on my skin. I did feel there was a slight pulling feeling because of how dry the towel feels. But by not wringing the towel so much that helps that, and it won't drip.

To the makeup removing part - it removed the bulk of my makeup in an instant..in one swipe! I had to go over my lashes a few times to remove stubborn mascara. However it didn't completely remove my makeup. I used a cotton pad & micellar water after using the towel to check how much makeup was left on my skin and there was a fair bit. Although it left my skin looking like there was no makeup there was actually quite a bit of foundation residue that somehow looked unnoticeable on my skin. I did like the size of the towel though, as there's two sides there's plenty of empty space to go over with on your face.

Cleaning: It says to throw in the machine and re-use. I actually got this at a good time because I went out of town for a few days and took this with me. I love that it comes with a resealable bag, perfect for travel. The first time I used it, a machine wash the next day removed the makeup. However after I got back from my 3 day holiday a machine wash didn't remove the makeup (I personally don't bother with washing if I'm only away for a few days). I've used it again and found that a hand wash is quicker and easier just using a soap, wring it out and it's practically dry ready for the next use.

Final thoughts: Although it removed the bulk of my makeup I still had to use a cleanser or another method of removing makeup (micellar water or balm). It's great for travelling and great for a quick fast makeup remover to remove most of your makeup.

Tips: For a complete removal of makeup, follow up with a cleanser or micellar water; handwash the towel for a quick removal of makeup.

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.

Manicare Makeup Removing Towel

This towel is excellent, no more panda eyes in the morning. I have problem skin and being able to cleanse it properly after a night out is a must, even though I use my standard cleanser that never seems to quite work to fully remove it all. This cloth does it brilliantly and is very gentle and soft on the skin, you don't need to scour, but let it do the job. The bonus is of course over wipes and other methods is that you can wash and use over and over again so well worth buying and will end up being very economical over a life time.

Tips: They recommend washing before use, other than that just simply wet and wipe.

Just an ordinary towel?

I was sceptical about this magic $12 towel that could remove makeup with only water, well my gut was right because it worked just like an ordinary towel for me. A positive point would be that it was super soft on my skin not scratchy like a flannel but I wouldn't pay for this towel. I still had to go over with a makeup wipe and there was quite a bit left on my face.

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!

MASCARA FINALLY COMES OFF

So so happy with this product. I use a pomade and a thick dry mascara which is always so so hard to take of and it smudges in my face and I have to use several products to get it off but this actually takes it all off and makes my skin feel clean after because it's only water!!

Tips: Don't rub hard! Not at all necessary.
