Manicare Makeup Remover Towel Review

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.

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!

I got this towel in my 'A New You' 2018 BBBE.

I was surprised to think it might work with just water, but it does! and the make up comes off the towel really easily in the wash.

I got the white one, which looks a bit horrendous after I've cleaned my face with it, but a quick rinse in the sink and the worst of it is gone. I wear foundation which I find really stainy on lots of things, so I was using make up remover wipes until I got this towel. I like them but it was good to try something different.

So along with how well it removes make up with just water, it also rinses well and dries quickly. A very good score all around.

$20 seems pricey but when you consider it's the same as 10 packs of cheap wipes and more environmentally friendly, its a good deal!

I definitely recommend giving these towels a try.

I love this make up removed towels after changing soley to these 3 months ago.

They are about as effective as a make up removing wipe (i find i still always end up with mascara left behind) but they are nowhere near as harsh.

Because I have sensitive skin I find sometime remover wipes make my under eyes sting.

I do not use this wipe just on its on, i find the texture a bit weird without using a cleanser or remover with it, so I always team it up with one.

My only complaint is it shows up everything you take off, so while the pink is cute it would be better if it came in black.

Easy to wash - I usually use some sort of brush cleaner in between days then throw it in the washing machine

With all the talk of how make up wipes are not so eco friendly these days I thought I would give something like this a try. I really do try to do my bit to help our planet. the wipes also block up our waste water systems if they are flushed which is not a good thing.

This towel is super soft on your skin, such a lovely feeling. You only need to wet it with warm water and it will take away most of your daily make up. I do us some eye make up remover on a cotton pad to remover stubborn eye make up.

Using this towel means I am spending less money on actual make up removing products which again is better for our world.

I guess the only thing I am not super happy about is that mine is [was] a white towel which is so hard to keep looking clean and nice, but that is a small sacrifice to make for a great product.

All you need is warm water and this product removes makeup from your face. It worked really well when I was just using my basic day to day Makeup. I did feel satisfied that it removed everything from my face apart from when I used my double wear foundation and this required more effort and product. As the towel requires washing I felt I couldn't use it as part of daily routine unless you had many. Be perfect when away camping!

This is my first makeup removing towel. But I did want to get it since I got into using wipes and I figured I could save money and also my sensitive skin as some wipes are really irritating for my eyes and face. I got it in the bright pink eye catching shade. This towel is really soft and when it's wet gets off all your makeup - more waterproof eyeliner and mascara, concealer, lipstick, although I haven't tried it with the longwearing lip stains or those transfer proof liquid lipsticks. But usually by the time I take off my makeup in the evening my lipstick has come off and so it's not really much to remove. Everything comes off without a lot of rubbing which is great for my sensitive skin. I still use an oil cleanser afterwards but I think this removes pretty much everything. I would say it's probably more effective than wipes it terms of cleaning and just because it's larger and got more surface area than a wipe. I also like that for my sensitive skin I can use just water to get a thorough clean. Now for the main con and why I don't use this every night. I can't just pop it in the wash and expect it to come out stain free. It'll come out cleaner, it'll definitely have less makeup on it but it'll still have brown beige stains from my foundation and concealer and I can still see the outlines of my eyeliner and mascara on it plus my brown pencil and products and eyeshadow. I could use it in that state and it'll wipe off whatever makeup I have on clean but I don't really like trying to get my face cleaner with something that looks dirty. You also won't find makeup stains or pink lint on any of the other items you have washing in the machine with the makeup removing towel. If I want it looking as good as new I have to handwash out the stains with laundry detergent. That being said I've used it, left it out to dry and scrubbed out the stains by hand a few days later and popped it in with a load of washing and it came out looking good as new. I think this a nice and handy makeup removing item to have but you need to have the time to scrub the stains out by hand if you want it looking as good as new. And I just don't see myself hand washing seven of these in order to not use wipes anymore. But I possibly might buy a couple more in the future.

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.

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.
