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

Manicare Makeup Remover Towel

Purchased this from the chemist for $14.99. I washed it in the washing machine before using. First time I used it I wasn't sure which side to use but from what I see it did an ok job at removing my foundation, double wear black eyeliner and top layer of mascara. I dont like rubbing off my mascara incase my lashes get damaged,but I just dabbed over my lashes and it removed some mascara. So it does a pretty good job, I would recommend using a Micellar water or a cleanser afterwards to be sure all makeup is removed.

Tips: Buy three

A bathroom must have

I looove this product and don't know how I got by without it before! I love to leave mine hanging in the bathroom/shower and use it to remove my makeup usually before I jump in the shower, it makes removing makeup SO easy - just be gentle removing eye makeup! I make sure to leave quite a bit of water on mine and not ring it out completely. I follow up with a cleanser in the shower/my usual routine. No more makeup remover wipes for me!

A must have for travellers!

This works - it really works! Your makeup is removed gently and efficiently! I love how you just add water and how the cloth is reusable. You can save so much money on makeup wipes and makeup removers!

Tips: Great if you're on a budget!

Softer than a face cloth but results are the same.

The manicuring makeup remover towel is super soft and gentle on your skin but the result is the same as a wet face cloth would give.

I would use this in place of an ordinary face cloth because of its softness and gentlenses.

I tested this over 2 days then washed it and it came out new! The makeup would not rinse out of it prior to washing it as a microfiber cloth would not but I do like the result after it being washed. It was still in as new condition and just as soft.

I will continue to use the manicure makeup remover cloth and do recommend it to people who find a ordinary face cloth too harsh on their skin.

Tips: Make sure you wet the cloth.

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. :)

Handy

I picked one of these up thinking it was a microfiber towel. Lesson 1, read the materials listed on the packet.

However while it looked like the microfiber cloth I had but wasn't, it did clean nearly as well. With lighter make up it wiped it away in seconds, with heavier make up (particularly around they eyes) a bit more rubbing and scrubbing is required.

All and all, the cloth did what it promised and perfermed how I hoped.

I also put mine in the washing machine nearly every night to remove the black eyeliner stains and they always come out properly.

Tips: Serveral of these types of cloths are useful.

Manicare Makeup Removing Towel ♡

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!

Shi x ♡

Tips: After use can either machine wash, or if you're like me and don't manage to find time to do a load of washing each day; just rinsing in hot water with antibacterial soap has the same effect. Although I would recommend washing atleast 2x week (using 5 days or more a week) as we all know how much bad stuff we gather onto our faces each day! :/

Make up towel

This wee towel was great. I was a bit skeptical at first, but really removes all you make up. I don't have heavy make up, probably just average but it took it all off. Even eyeliner and mascara! Make sure you wash it before you use it.

Tips: It says to was it once a week but I wash it probably every four days. I'm going to get another one so I can keep using one while the other is in the wash

Quick way to wipe away the day

I have used many make up removing products; from make up wipes to make up cleansing balms. They have all done the trick but there has always one down buzz- they haven't always effectively removed stubborn mascara and eye make up. I was excited to try the Manicare Makeup Removing Towel. It promised to remove stubborn makeup with just water. And leave your skin feeling clean. When i first tried it, I wet one side and rubbed my eye make up and guess what, it came off straight away! It left my face feeling clean, although I did use cleanser as well as this is part of my daily routine. I have continued to use this every day, it is great if you do not have much time to take off your make up. The only downside is that you need to wash it often to keep it clean. I am glad i discovered this product - and finally found a product that quickly effectively takes off my eye make up!

Tips: Use one half of the towel each time so that you can use the other half next time. This is so you do not have to wash it everyday
