Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing 2-in-1 Make-up Remover Review

Hello People!

This is my first ever blogpost and as you can see, I will be writing reviews on make-up and skincare, giving my honest opinion to help you find effective, inexpensive products.

So on to the review...

I have been using the Garnier 2-in-1 make-up remover for some time now and have tried quite a few of the other different brands of make-up remover from the high street but this is my favourite by far. (Links to where you can buy this product are at the bottom of this post).

This make-up remover has two layers: a clear cleansing water on the bottom and a blue cleansing oil on the top. To use you simply shake the two layers together, soak a cotton pad with the solution and gently swipe away any make-up.

The great thing about this, is it is effective for removing both eye and face make-up so you do not need a separate product for your eyes, meaning less money spent on multiple products, and just one that does the job of removing all make-up.

The product itself has the consistency of water once shaken together and has a very fresh clean scent but nothing particularly overpowering, so this product will certainly be good for sensitive skin and eyes, just as Garnier claim.

I love this make-up remover as it doesn't leave your skin with that tight, dried out feeling afterwards but just leaves your skin soft and supple, ready for cleansing. Therefore, this product is definitely good for people with normal to dry skin like myself. However, those with oilier complexions may not get on with this, although it doesn't leave an oily residue so it could still work well for you if you fall into the oily skin category.

It also lasts a long time so it is quite a bargain as you get 200ml of product at the great price of only £3.00 (approximately), so it is certainly purse friendly as well as effective. 

One problem I have found with this product is the packaging, as I have had issues with leaking, but not on every bottle, so its probably just faulty packaging. Also, although you do get plenty of product, the size isn't travel friendly, so taking it on holiday takes up quite a bit of space in your wash bag and transferring the contents into a smaller container is difficult, but these are the only bad things I can think of.

Overview

Pros

• Non-drying
• Effective for removing face and eye make-up
• Gentle on the skin
• Light clean scent
• Doesn't leave oily residue
• Large amount of product lasts a long time
• Inexpensive - £3.00 (approximately)

Cons

• Packaging can be a little leaky but not on every bottle
• Large bottle - not travel friendly

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.

Hope this was helpful and thank you for reading.
