Or at least it is in Dunedin at the Centre City New World. 

Has anyone tried it before? I have been using the L'Oreal Skin Perfection version for over a week now and I think it's alright, I'm not overly stunned with it though.

Mmmm I like it for taking off my eye makeup as it doesn't feel greasy at all.

I have been wanting this for the longest time, but keep putting it off!! Filoaha, can i ask how much it was at New World? Want to compare the cost with other sites and NZ suppliers iv seen around just out of curiosity.
Am I the only one confused and unsure about what exactly this is still? Haaaalllpp!!

So am I supposed to use this in place of a cleanser? Don't shoot me fangirls but my skin doesn't feel right when I do. Or am I on the wrong track and it's like a make-up remover/pre-cleanse

Wow are they finally selling it here in NZ?? I purchased a couple of bottles in Australia back in November and I can honestly say that this stuff is amazing and will be using it for a very long time. After using makeup wipes I go ahead and use a bit of the micellar water on a makeup pad, I wipe over my face and its amazing at how much product is still left behind... highly recommend!!

Ash i use it twice -once to cleanse and once to make sure. Although you arent supposed to need to rinse i do anyway and find it feels cleaner. I always rinse after makeup wipes too.

Ih and tonilee...i kicked myself for only buying one bottle in Aussie but now we can get it here...yay!

Hi Ash, I use this as sort of a toner or second cleanse. So in the shower at night I use my usual cleanser to get my makeup off then after that I use this sort of product to get any residual mascara etc off and just make sure my skin is clean for my moisturiser etc. In the morning I just use it to clean the skin again by itself before sunscreen etc. (Both times I use it on a cotton pad) I find it isn't one of those essential makeup products, but more of a nice to have.

AHHH I am definitely checking my local New World when I go there next to see if it is there. I want a new eye makeup remover as the one I use currently (Nivea) isn't that efficient at removing all of my mascara.

Okay, I need to get some of this stuff.  I thought it was just a toner so didn't get excited but now you lovelies mention taking makeup off with it, now that sounds more like my product.  Will have to stalk our New World up here in Whangarei and see if they stock it x

Ahhhh no, it's finally here?? Willpower, stay strong! I refuse to break No Spend over this product release, I've only know about micellar water for a couple of months but I've been dying to try it. I have the most specific use in mind, I need to be better at removing my makeup after work/before gym, I never bother. I even put aside an empty toner spray bottle, so that I can keep this stuff in my gym bag and apply it quickly!! Stay strong, deep breaths... I need to stay away from the Beauty aisle lol

Argh - I really don't need to get hooked on another product!  Although this does sound like it might be the perfect finishing touch to my nightly cleansing routine - I'm using Tailor Oil cleanse at the moment so maybe this would be perfect to follow up with before I moisturise.....?  :)

I'm definitely going to try this (I just ran out of liquid makeup remover) and I will use it as any other makeup remover - I always follow with a proper cleanser to get every last scrap off.

I'm so skeptical, but I must have it!! I would probably tent to use it more as a pre-cleanser though. Is that what it's for? or are you meant to use it for both cleanses?

Not on my countdown online it's not, I will have to visit the store and see if it is there yet. "Sigh"

I find it strange that we all want this product, yet not a lot of us know what it actually does, and where to use it in our beauty steps!

Hahaha shazatron101 so true - the power of hype!

Ok, so Micellar Cleansing Water is... a cleanser.

It removes makeup (like a precleanse would), dirt and grime (like a cleanser).   And because it's incredibly gentle it also soothes the skin.

I know, how can a cleanser be soap and detergent free?  How can a cleanser not need rinsing off?!

It's all to do with the science behind micelles - these are molecules that attract impurities from the skin.  Don't ask me how, I'll just say magic.  BR Zoe has told me all the ins and outs, but I'm sticking with magic.

So yes, if you cleanse with Micellar Water you will literally use a cotton pad soaked in the product and 'wash' your face with that.  No need to follow with a foaming cleanser, a cleansing wipe, nada.

The best thing to do is keep your eyes on the reviews here (4.7/5 over 52 reviews so far) and then sneak a bottle in the grocery shop and add your own experiences!

Yeah, what Nat said. I was slightly skeptical but it was about $11 in Aussie and so I grabbed some. OH MY GOD.

My skin is oily - it's balanced it. It was blemished - its clearing it. Literally feels like you're just wiping your face with water but your makeup comes off and your skin feels amazing. I'm completely converted to using this and only this at night, with a little rosehip oil and the moisture emulsion lotion form the Dec beauty box after :)

No more makeup wipes or harsh cleansers, and it's cheap (and in a cute bottle) - what's not to love.

Can't rave about this product enough :)

Man all the awesome reviews, I'm going to have to look out for this.  If it removes all my eye makeup in one session without too much scrubbing then I'd be a convert :-)

Good old Centre City, of course they'd have it! 

I am wondering if Farmers are going to get it, their Garnier range is normally fairly stingy but they'd have to wouldn't they? I should go check it out, I have vouchers to use!
OMG I cannot wait to try this product ! It looks absolutely amazing. I can not wait to try this and hear all the amazing reviews from the trialists.

I am so excited to give this product a whirl! I have heard many glowing reviews about it and can't wait to purchase. It also seems very good value for the size of the bottle (400ml) I think it is around the $15 mark :)
