Yes micellar cleansing waters aren't brand new but to my routine they are! I tend to be quite stuck in my ways of cleansing, sticking to what I've used for years but that doesn't mean it's right or the best way to cleanse my skin. So I ventured out to Boots (one of my most favourite things to do) and spent a questionable amount of time searching for something new, something quick but most of all something effective. Seriously I spent so long in my local Boots I think the security guard was following me, but much to his dismay I purchased the Garnier PureActive Micellar Cleansing Water. Sitting in the new products section I had to pick it up and upon reading the product details I just had to have it, I mean cleansing with no rinsing? This is my lazy girl paradise product! There were two other varieties of Garnier Micellar Water's one pink cap version for all skin types especially sensitive and one green cap version for combination skin, however the PureActive version drew me in more due to it being specifically for oily and blemish prone skin types. The product details boast that it easily removes makeup including eyes and lips with no rinsing required, purifies and minimises blemishes and reduces imperfections. It also comes in a luxury 400ml size claiming to be 200 uses and on offer at £3.00 (RRP £4.99) I just couldn't walk out of there without it!
I've used this product now for 7 days, using most mornings but every evening to remove my makeup. I really wish I'd found this product sooner as I've never removed my makeup so easily or so effectively especially without rinsing! Whether it was a full Double Wear & Dipbrow day or just BB cream this magic micellar water removed every trace including eye makeup without ever feeling harsh or drying on my skin. Surprisingly for a anti-blemish product there is no overwhelming alcohol smell but I can't say it's helped to reduce my blemishes or imperfections but then again I haven't had my full "200 uses"
Personally I would recommend this to anyone with oily skin looking for a new quick cleansing fix or for those lazy cleansers out there who like me just can't get out of bed to the sink after 8pm!
You can find the Garnier PureActive Micellar Cleansing Water in your local Boots, Superdrug or even Tesco store for RRP £4.99.
What are your thoughts on the Micellar water craze, have you tried one before?

Yay great first post! The security guard in Boots always follows me too, either I look dodgy or I spend too much time in there!
