BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE MICELLAR WATER {REVIEW}

Baume de Rose symbolizes everything BY TERRY stands for:

 timeless, versatile, and ultra-luxurious skincare. 

From their iconic and decadent Baume de Rose Lip Balm to the nourishing

 and moisturizing Baume de Rose All-Over Oil, these rose skincare products 

contain the highest quality rose oils and rose water for glowing skin. 

This line of rose petal skincare, ideal for all skin types from sensitive

 and oily to dry skin. 

Roses are the true essence of their innovative French beauty products.

I have reviewed several wonderful Baume de Rose products already and if

This past week I have been putting to the test the

BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE MICELLAR WATER

This supercharged micellar water claims to effortlessly removes dirt and oil, cleansing skin at a micro-level to leave it thoroughly detoxed and renewed. Supercharged with hydrating and regenerating rose extracts, it boosts skins hydration levels by over 80%, leaving it perfectly clean, hydrated and

 refreshed without drying it out.

Micelle particles attract impurities and excess sebum like a magnet, engulfing 

and lifting them away to reveal freshly cleansed skin. 

Enriched with hydrating rosehip oil and regenerating pastel rose extracts, 

skin is left feeling comfortable and conditioned, perfectly prepped for toner.

Apply with a cotton compress. 

Gently sweep over facial contours to remove dirt and oil. 

Repeat as necessary. 

Do not rinse.

Follow up with Baume de Rose Beauty Toner.

Whilst I agree with many of the claims above I was left feeling a little

bit underwhelmed by this Micellar Water.

For me it just didn't have any WOW factor, it did its job but I was expecting

 more "Bang For My buck" (as it costs a lot of bucks)

Having reviewed many Micellar Waters over the years I keep reverting

back to the Bioderma Micellar Water, as it really is the best I've found so far.

ESTHEDERM OSMOCLEAN MICELLAR WATER FOR FACE & EYES {REVIEW}

Having reviewed last month, the

 ESTHEDERM OSMOCLEAN HYDRA CLEANSING MILK

to read my full review

this month its the turn of the corresponding

MICELLAR WATER FOR EYES & FACE.

This French skincare brand is relatively new to me in terms of using 

any of their products and I was suitable impressed with their 

cleansing milk, so let's see how this product performed.

The Institut Esthederm Osmoclean Osmopore Face & Eyes Cleansing Water 

completes skin cleansing while respecting the skins surface ecosystem. 

It gives a pleasant sensation of invigorating freshness and prepares your 

skin for skin care products.

Perfect for active, busy people and frequent travellers who like the 

convenience of a three-in-one product, Osmopure Micellar Cleansing Water 

gently removes make-up from face and eyes and leaves skin free from dirt, 

excess oil and harmful bacteria, whilst still able to protect itself 

against external aggressions.

The gentle surfactants form micelles that capture and lift away dirt, 

impurities and pollution particles.

Acts in perfect osmosis with the skin while protecting and preserving

 the hydrolipidic film.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. 

The fresh toning texture leaves skin clean, fresh and soft and

I've been enjoying this Micellar Water, thus far, as it's ticks all the

boxes when it comes to what you expect from a Micellar Water.

Having only used 2 products from ESTHEDERM I'm hoping

to try more from their range in the future, as what I've tried so far

NUXE VERY ROSE 3-IN-1 SOOTHING MICELLAR WATER {REVIEW}

This Micellar Water from NUXE has been in my beauty sights for

a little while and my only hesitation re buying was down

to me loving my BIODERMA Micellar Water so much.

I recently got my hands on a 40ml travel size and it was the perfect 

amount to try without purchasing the full size, especially as I'm a 

newly BIODERMA Micellar Water convert, as it really is a great product

To read my full review

Laboratoire NUXE 

has developed the VERY ROSE range of make-up removers and cleansers with Rose Floral Water which is known for its ability to soothe and soften

 the skin. They have a wide range of formulas and textures to meet

 every cleansing wish.

I have previously reviewed the Rose Soothing Cleanser & Toner

Click Here

 

The

NUXE 

Very Rose 3in1 Soothing Micellar Water

 has been formulated to remove

 make-up and cleanse the skin on the face and eyes, removing make-up

 and impurities.

Whilst it removed my foundation etc. swiftly and easily, it didn't cope 

just as well with my eye make-up and mascara.

 It certainly leaves the skin feeling soothed, fresh and soft and even

 the delicate rose scent was delightful.

The product contains:

 Rose Floral Water: 

recognised for its soothing and softening properties on all skin types, 

including sensitive skin.

 100% botanical-origin Skin-Respect Complex: 

consisting of Moisturising Sugars, it hydrates and strengthens skin’s

protective barrier.

Micellar cleansing agents:

 to effectively remove impurities and make-up while ensuring good skin tolerance.

*Formula containing no ingredients or derivatives of animal origin

97 % of the total ingredients are from natural origin

Formula tested under dermatological supervision.

How to use:

In the morning and evening, gently wipe a cotton pad soaked in 

micellar water over your face and eyes.

Repeat the process until the cotton pad remains clear. 

No need to rinse.

(I used as a first cleanse in a double cleanse and also as a 

morning cleanser)

 

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this Micellar Water as much as I did.

I suspect I was misled, as to the efficiency of this product, by the 

delicate pink packaging and soft rose scent, but don't be fooled as

 this Micellar Water is up there with the best and it will be one I will

re-visit in the beauty future...

SUNDAY SAMPLE

If you follow me over on Instagram you will already know that I received

this NUXE VERY ROSE 3-in-1 Soothing Micellar Water in a 

MODERN Beauty Box last week

Technically this size 40ml of product is classed as a Travel size rather than 

a sample size and it should last me a good few days ensuring that I can

thoroughly this Micellar Water to the test.

However with a cleansing product I can generally tell after a couple of 

uses if it's a good one or not...

Having reviewed many Micellar Waters here on Beauty Shout Box, ranging

from the most infamous and affordable options through to some mid range

 and higher priced French offerings, 

I have finally settled on my favourite micellar water of all time, the

 BIODERMA H20 SENSIBIO

 So will this product from NUXE be able to knock the iconic 

BIODERMA one of its Micellar pedestal?

SIMPLE SKINCARE WATER BOOST MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER {REVIEW}

Simple Skincare is a British brand of soap and skincare products, 

designed for sensitive skin. Simple has been around since 1960, so they should

 know a thing or two about skin.Now owned by Unilever since 2010, sadly

 in South Africa its had a little more of an inconsistant presence on the shelves

over the years, but I do believe that its back and I've already seen stock,

 albeit a small selection of products, on the shelves in Dischem.

Previous Simple Review

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-Up Remover Pads

You may already be familiar with the Simple Kind To Skin range in the green packaging. The new Simple Water Boost skincare range, featuring the Water Boost regimen, is packaged in blue and is specifically dedicated to reversing the 5 symptoms of early dehydration: dryness, roughness, feelings of tightness, dullness and dry dehydration lines; to leave skin revitalized, supple and dewy fresh. 

 Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water

was a recent purchase on a trip to Dubai back in early February.

As with all Simple products there are :

No artificial fragrance
No color or dye
No drying alcohol
No parabens
No phthalates
No harsh chemicals
No animal derived ingredients

 Additionally all products are:

Hypoallergenic

Dermatologist-tested

Non-comedogenic

Ophthalmologist-tested

pH-balanced to your skin

 Simple Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water is gentle yet effectively cleanses and removes impurities and make-up from your face, while also soothing and instantly re-hydrating thirsty skin. Skin feels refreshed, supple and instantly hydrated without irritation and I liked it...

Infused with skin-loving minerals and a plant extra, this Cleansing Water contains micellar cleansing bubbles that glide over skin, attracting make-up and dirt without leaving skin feeling dry or tight, making it perfect for dry, dehydrated or even sensitive skin. I had no issues with the effectiveness of removing my make-up as a first or second cleanse.

As the name suggests its an effective SIMPLE range of products to use,there's no fuss    and no frills.

Here's hoping that we get the Simple Water Boost range here in SA along with the full range of other Simple Skincare products, as personally, I highly recommend this range for all skin types and it couldn't be a more budget friendly price point, so if you're looking for skincare products or a range specifically for sensitive skins then don't overlook Simple Skincare

GARNIER MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER REVIEW {TBT MARCH 2020}

Here's another of my Throwback Thursday post in which I review the

GARNIER MICELLAR WATER

Originally posted back in 2015 Micellar Waters were a relative new cleansing

format and it's interesting to see how, in nearly five years, Micellar Waters

have become much loved part of our skincare routines.

Over the last 5 years I have reviewed several Micellar Waters and I still rate 

this one from GARNIER, as my favourite.

GARNIER have since expanded their Micellar Water range and the price has changed

 but the one thing that has remained the same is the hole, its still way too large.

Enjoy my #TBT post

~~~~~~

"Oh no! not another Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water review"

I hear you say...

I'm afraid so, but before you leave my page, this review is written by
 someone over 50. 

Since launching several months ago in South Africa social media has been
bombarded with very positive reviews and comments about

The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water ,which is a multi purpose product, 

that removes make-up, cleanses the face, eyes and lips,
all without having to remove or rinse off. 

How can one product achieve so much?

It's all down to the Garnier Micellar technology in this all-in-one cleanser.
The cleansing agents attract and capture the make-up and impurities lifting
them away from skin, leaving it perfectly cleansed and refreshed.

I'm somewhat sceptical about products that claim to "do it all", however after
 the first use I was convinced that this product does "do it all" and convincingly so! 

I have been using this efficient cleansing water now for several weeks, both as my cleanser 

in the morning and as part of a double cleanse in the evening and I have no complaints.

It couldn't be easier to use-just apply to a cotton pad and wipe over the
entire face including eyes and lips and it leaves my skin feeling cleansed
and soothed.

I also enjoy that its:

 Fragrance free

 Hypoallergenic

 Dermatologically

 and 

Ophthalmologically tested.

Garnier have a winner on their hands with this product, as we really don't have
 too much choice in SA when it comes to Micellar Waters, but I'm sure that will 

change with time.

I said earlier that I had no complaints, but I do have one!

GARNIER claim that 400ml size (R79.99) equals 200 uses.

However I have a gripe with the size of the dispensing hole in many of the
L'Oreal and Garnier liquids and this one is no different,

as the hole is just too large and in my opinion it only serves

 to encourage product wastage. 

 

CAUDALIE MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER [REVIEW}

You may have noticed that over the past 12 months or so, that I've fallen in love

with the French brand Caudalie and to date I have reviewed around 12 of their

face and body products 

(all of which have been purchased by myself) and I'm happy to report 

that I haven't yet reviewed a product from Caudalie that

I didn't enjoy or wouldn't enthusiastically recommend to you, 

if you would like to read my reviews

To read my full reviews

Sadly that's all about to change with the 

Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water

Whilst Micellar Waters form an important part of my skincare regime,

I don't use on a daily basis and for me they're ideal for travel, gym, 

as part of a double cleanse or just on those lazy skincare days. 

Caudalie say that this refreshing (which it is) daily-use (which it is) micellar water cleanses and removes make-up from the face and eyes in one single step (which it didn't)

I found this Micellar Water battled with both removing my face and eye make-up on those slightly heavier make-up days, remembering I'm not a full on, heavy make-up wearer.

Whilst it did remove, it certainly didn't do it in "one single step" as claimed.

So if you're a very light wearer of make-up or just want to cleanse the skin after gym etc then this product would be suitable.

Infused with soothing chamomile and moisturising grape water the skin feels comfortable after cleansing and leaves no feeling of tightness.
The fresh fragrance, which is pleasant, combines notes of mandarin tree blossom, lemon leaf, watermelon and fresh mint.

 Suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, the gentle, soap-free formula is made up of 98% naturally derived ingredients that respect the skin's natural pH balance. 

Dermatologically and ophtalmologically tested.
And as with all Caudalie products, no parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, mineral oils or animal-derived ingredients are used. 

Whilst I will finish my product, I personally wouldn't re-purchase and sadly this is my

first Caudalie that I wasn't "Wowed by", but I sill adore this brand...

LA ROCHE-POSAY MICELLAR WATER {REVIEW}

Over the past couple of years and much to my surprise, Micellar Waters have 

become an important part of my beauty regime .

 I previously relied on them mainly for travel, as they provide a quick and practical solution for 

removing face and eye make-up on the go. 

I also turn to a Micellar Water on those "full make-up" days, as part of a 

double cleanse, however my favourite way to use a Micellar Water is in the morning. 

I find a quick wipe around the face with a soaked cotton pad cleanses my skin

 and preps it for my morning skincare routine.

As you can see Micellar Waters are so versatile hence their rise in popularity

 over the past few years.

 Most skincare ranges now include a Micellar water in their product line-up 

and over the last couple of years 

I have tried and tested several of varying prices.

To read my previous reviews on Micellar Waters

I have reviewed several products from LA ROCHE-POSAY recently and have enjoyed

each one and for those that suffer from a fragile, sensitive or intolerant skin,

then I highly recommend this affordable French skincare brand. 

To read my previous reviews on LA ROCHE-POSAY

Just to re-cap in the ethos of the brand:

La Roche-Posay is a French Dermatology skin care company recommended by more than 25 000 Dermatologists worldwide. Their promise is to make a better life for Sensitive Skin. Every product is unique in its inherent active ingredient – thermal water from the natural springs of La Roche-Posay, which contains high levels of Selenium – a mineral proven to protect cellular metabolism with its powerful antioxidant properties. 

The LA ROCHE-POSAY Micellar Water for Sensitive skins has been my

Micellar Water of choice for the past few weeks.

The Physiological Micellar Solution acts as a fresh cleansing solution 

and make-up remover in one, for face and eyes and can be used whether

 you have a sensitive skin or not.

It's the perfect product for people in a hurry.

The gentle non scented water formulation is suitable for all skin types,

 as it respects the skin’s physiological & pH balance.

Key ingredients are Citric Acid to gently cleanse and exfoliate and of course the

soothing LA ROCHE-POSAY Thermal Spring Water.

This product contains no

 soap

 alcohol 

colourants 

lanolins

or 

parabens

I found this product slotted perfectly into my morning regime as my 

cleansing water

and I'll be sorry when it finishes, as it will be time to move on and review another

Micellar Water from another brand.
