Magical Micellar

If you haven't heard about BioDerma's Micellar cleansing water then you have been hiding under a rock most of your life. The question is what really is Micellar water? This is a question I have frequently wondered to myself and with the drugstore jumping on the micellar band waggon the other question is which one is the best, most affordable a.k.a, a dupe for the rather expensive BioDerma version? 

In answer to the first question, micellar waters use tiny micelle particles to draw make-up (including waterproof mascara), sebum and impurities from the skin. It works almost as a magnet, lifting the particles as opposed to scrubbing. It is basically a three in one product and it means you do not need to rinse. The concept started in Paris, whereby the inhabitants were conscious of the notoriously hard water, and the effect this was having on there skin. 

So the question is which is the best drugstore dupe? For me its the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. It truly dominates the drugstore make up removing isle. For £4.99 (compared to BioDerma's £14.99) a bottle which might I add has so far lasted me two months (only using half) and in which I use daily, this product is a must have in any make up fanatics kit. Yes putting make up on is fun but taking if off is a pain in the back side but this does the job quickly and with no effort at all. I no longer use face wipes, or eye make up remover just this magical thing in a bottle and a cotton pad.

The only downside...and I am being picky here is the size of the bottle, a smaller travel friendly one would be useful as it rather bulky to take away. While I could put it in a reusable travel bottle, the top does not come off. I suppose I could drip it into the bottle but who has time for that?

Anyway in summary if you are looking for that one product that does everything and does it quickly, while still being affordable check out Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
