Product wars: Garnier vs Lancome

November 11th, 2009

november 003Pictured right is the result of my latest makeup remover test.

I pittedĀ  Garnier Clear Sensitive two-in-one water and oil version (you know, the kinds you have to shake before using) against Lancome’s Bi-facial eye makeup remover.

Take a close look at the pic. The top row of cotton pads are the results of the first swipe. You can see that the Lancome (right) has removed a lot of my foundation too (the peachy colour).

The bottom row of cotton pads are the results of the second swipe. You can see that there was still a lot of black after the first swipe of Garnier that finally come off the on the second swipe.

I’ve reviewed the Garnier before, and I didn’t like it. And I haven’t changed my mind about it after this latest test.

Lancome ftw!

Product wars: Simple vs Garnier

September 14th, 2009

Simple v GarnierYou might recall a while back when I first tried Simple eye make-up remover and reviewed it against a Clarins one.

Well I’ve bought a new make-up remover and wanted to review it benchmarked against Simple.

Pictured left is the Simple and Garnier side by side. The Simple is a watery type of remover and the Garnier is a ’sensitive’ two-in-one water and oil version (you know, the kinds you have to shake before using).

The first removal of eye make-up is pictured in the top row of cotton pads. The Simple removes most make-up in the first wipe, while the Garnier definitely takes two wipes to get all the mascara from my eye.

The Garnier is very oily and smears mascara across the skin as you remove it, so actually needs a second wipe to clean up the mess it makes. And afterward it leaves your skin feeling very oily.

Simple on the other hand quickly and cleanly removes make-up and leaves skin feeling fresh. Simple is the clear winner this time around too.

Unfortunately I ‘m commited to my bottle of Garnier now that I’ve purchased it :-(
