Micellar water and makeup remover wipes by Corine de Farme

After the popularity of Micellar water by Bioderma and the craze in the beauty community, especially on Youtube, lot of brands came out with their own version of this product. I’m planning to review some of them, available mainly in drugstore. I already wrote about the Micellar water and wipes by Yves Rocher, I wasn’t really a big fan of them so of course I continue to look for better ones.

MICELLAR WATER 

Price: 5,99€ for 500ml in DI drugstore (Belgium).

Scent: light floral scent.

Performance: it removes makeup from the face and eyes without problems. Even when I put more water than needed my eyes don’t burn so I find it very gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. When I used Bioderma’s micellar water and put too much of it, my eyes burn little bit so I definitely prefer Corine de Farme water. Plus, the price is unbeatable, 500 ml for 5,99€ instead of 20€ that I paid for Bioderma, what a bargain!. I already used up 2 bottles and it is really my favorite micellar water. Once I stop testing other products in this category I’m going back to this one (unless I discover something as greater and cheaper).

MAKEUP REMOVER WIPES

Price: I cannot find my receipt but the price is around 3,50€ for 25 wipes in DI drugstore.

Scent: the scent is the same as for Micellar water – light floral scent.

Performance: when I first opened them and smelt them I thought that they were soaked in my favourite micellar water and that they would perform the same way. Unfortunately the wipes were not saturated and effective enough to remove my eye makeup, I used them only for the face makeup therefore I’m not going to repurchase them. I need wipes that can remove everything so that I can take them on my trips as my only makeup remover product.
