If you
happen to catch me strolling the mall or perusing a department store you may
notice that my hands and arms are covered in bright pigments of varying
textures. I know I have a lot of makeup but all the pretty new products always
reel me in and I can’t help going on a swatching frenzy! Being a Beauty Blogger
also means that I photograph a lot of color swatches to demonstrate pigmentation
and formulas so having an efficient makeup remover is essential!
When I
leave my house you can bet that I will be sporting a full face of makeup, from
foundation, bronzer and layer upon layer of lash lengthening mascara skilfully matched
with beautiful shadow, liner and lipstick. I love playing around with makeup
and creating vibrant new looks but like many women I hate removing it all at
the end of a long day.
Garnier
has recently released the Makeup Removing Lotion Cleanser and I took to the smooth,
nourishing formula right away because I love products that feel comfortable and
non-drying on my skin. Creamy removers like this one do a great job at
emulsifying heavy makeup and they create a slippery surface so that cotton pads
and wipes glide over the skin without the need for vigorous scrubbing.
The
lotion releases powerful cleansing agents to dissolve impurities and waterproof
mascara and I like that the richness of the cream helps soften crunchy lashes to moisturize and prevent hair loss. It also works well to remove
foundation, glitter formulas and lipstick stains although it does make my skin tingle so I tend not to use it before or after exfoliation.
The formula
is free of perfume, alcohol, dye and oil with an infusion of plant extracts to hydrate and protect. This may be a good option for those
with dry or oily skin types although if your skin is ultra sensitive I recommend doing a patch test as with any new product. You can apply the cream directly to
the skin, massage it in and simply wipe away the residue with a cotton pad or
makeup wipe. The cleanser removes impurities and rinses clean with water.
Overall
the cleanser efficiently removes my
makeup in a few swipes without stripping my skin and conditions to leave my
face smooth and soft. The collection is available at Walmart, Jean Coutu, London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart.
