Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water Review

For today’s post, I wanted to do Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water review since I’ve received this product for a while now, but didn’t get the chance to review it. I want to thank mbak Hani from Prodigy for sending this product to me! So, very kind of you! I do apologize for taking a while before posting this review.

I’m sure most of you know that blogging isn’t my full-time job, since I do have an obligation in helping out in my parents’ business, I have not been updating my blog regularly.

So, let’s get on the review!

Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water

Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water is a makeup remover that uses Micellar water technology, instead of the usual oil/water combination that most makeup remover has. Ok, so I tried looking up for a definition of this product on maybelline website but it provides none, also I didn’t get the chance to go to Maybelline’s product launching event since I had prior arrangement to go to Tex Saverio’s trunk show. So whatever I write on this post is purely out of my own knowledge, and honest opinion.

Anyways, let’s get back on the review! So, my first impression when I received this product is – WOAH! A dupe for Bioderma Sensibio H2O makeup remover! To be honest, I have high regards for Bioderma Sensibio H2O makeup remover since I’ve used it back in 2012. So, I have really high expectation for Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water, since it uses the same technology as Bioderma.

(psst, I’m going to post a review for Bioderma makeup remover next week, so check back soon!)

Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water

On the picture above, I removed the makeup on one side of my face using a cotton pad soaked in Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water. I used just ONE cotton pad to remove my foundation, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick etc. I used Kat Von D Tooper eyeliner and Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash mascara, which are known to be waterproof, and hard to be removed.

If you see closely on my lashes on the side with makeup removed (left), you can still see traces of mascara and eyeliner on my eye. I actually left the soaked cotton pad on my eye for a good 3-5 minutes before removing the eyeliner and mascara.

Also, when I removed my makeup using the Maybelline Clean Express Miracle Water, I felt that it left a bit of a residue on my skin which makes my skin feel a little bit sticky.

Oh, when I wake up the next morning, some of the mascara that did not get removed had smeared down to my lower lid! I did not wash my face after using the Miracle Water since I want to test this product to its fullest (the things i’ll do for reviews!).
