Has anyone else noticed I have an unhealthy obsession with @nikki_makeup? I live for her Sunday tutorials (which I watch bleary-eyed on Monday morning when I wake up), and constantly try to copy her techniques when doing my own makeup.
But this time I'm not reporting back on one of her makeup techniques, I'm actually going to tell you about a makeup removing cleanser she loves, 'cause everyone needs a good makeup remover in their life.
Can't I Just Use A Makeup Wipe?
Ah, no. You cannot. Well, let me rephrase - you can, but I don't recommend just using a makeup wipe to take off heavy makeup, as a wipe can't do a sufficient job (in saying that, I'd prefer you use a makeup wipe than sleep in it). That's where Bobbi Brown's Makeup Melter and Cleanser comes in.
This stuff can tackle even ultra long-wearing makeup, while still leaving the skin feeling soothed and comfortable (instead of red and irritated from scrubbing with a makeup wipe - we've all been there). According to Nikki herself, Bobbi Brown's Makeup Melter and Cleanser is "effective and leaves the skin feeling fresh and comfortable." She recommends applying onto dry skin to dissolve makeup, before rinsing off.

I bought this because of the ingredients that it has. It does take my makeup off after massaging it into my skin and then I just jump into the shower. I found my pores looked a bit smaller and I had less breakouts after using this. So much better than micellar water or makeup wipes as I find they are just superficial makeup removers, I feel this is...
