Manicare Makeup Remover Towel Review

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.

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 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.

I was very excited to be selected for this trial as I've heard about these towels from other brands and how they're changing the way you remove your makeup!

The packaging was nice. You could see the towel and it was also easy to open which saves a bit of frustration.

First things first, you must machine wash the towel before first use! It will still work, just incredibly slowly and with a lot of rubbing.

To use you just wet the towel with warm water, squeeze it out a little, and just wipe off your makeup. Pretty straightforward, however this is where things started to go a little awry for me. I had to keep re-wetting my towel ( I didn't want it dripping everywhere so would squeeze the excess but not hugely. It was still quite wet.) and I found it was way too harsh for my eye area, removing a few precious eyelashes in the process.

As for the overall effectiveness, I tried this with both my normal everyday makeup (primer, coloured face powder, eyeshadow, mascara, brow mascara), and with a full face of longwear makeup including Revlon Colourstay foundation. It definitely removed most of it, but when I went in afterwards with a cotton pad and micellar water there was still quite a bit of colouration on the pad.

What I'd suggest is to use this as a type of "pre-cleanse" especially for longwear foundations which are typically harder to remove, and follow up with a good face cleanser.

I like to double cleanse so the idea of just using a cloth to remove all my makeup seemed unlikely to me. This will actually remove make up with just water but I prefer to use it with a cleanser so I don’t have to rub so hard. I only use it occasionally as I prefer the texture of a good old fashioned flannel to this. I do find it is good for travel though as you can hand wash it after you’ve used it then hang it up to dry. It dries quickly so you can use it again rather than reaching for a fresh flannel.

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 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.

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.
