Towards the end of last year, I was sent a few products from Nürish Organics and after being thoroughly impressed by everything, I knew I had to try their cleanser. A well-timed Saffron Rouge sale was all it took for me to take the plunge with Washed Away...
"A gentle yet very effective cream cleanser enriched with quinoa protein and rich tropical butters. Leaves the skin feeling clean and vibrant. Wet face and massage a pea-sized amount to remove makeup or just to cleanse the face at the end of a long day. Can be used to obliterate even the toughest waterproof eye makeup."As a cleanser, I like it. It's a little runny - more of a milk consistency than a cream - but it's gentle and leaves my skin feeling clean, if maybe the slightest bit drier than I'd like. As a makeup remover, I'm less impressed. It does a good job removing face makeup, but it struggles to take off mascara and eye liner. Yes, it gets it off in the end, but it takes 2-3 applications and more rubbing than I'd like for such a delicate area. (I'm not talking about anything waterproof either!) The scent was also just okay. A blend of bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, orange, rosemary, neroli, and ylang ylang, it smells very sharp to me. Not at all citrusy, like one might expect from the ingredients, but instead, more of a floral/herbal cross.

The Bottom Line
More succinct than usual, but I think that covers everything. Washed Away was a so-so product for me, though I'd still recommend other products from Nürish's line. Best Scrub Ever is my favorite scrub at the moment and Daily Glow is a great oil that's stayed in rotation these last few months as well.

Sounds like a great brand, I always love cream or milky cleansers so I think I'll have a look at this and their scrub. Great review :) x
ReplyDeleteI've been really impressed :) The scrub is fantastic!
DeleteEver since your first review of this brand, I've wanted to try them. I'm not the biggest fan of milky cleansers, it's gotta be an oil or a full on cream...however...this one sounds kinda really nice! Might have to try the oil or scrub first though. Thanks for the review xo
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy either...I'm not sure why more people aren't talking about this line! I think the scrub has to be my favorite out of everything :)
DeleteThe name is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? All their product names are really cute!
DeleteI'm the same as Eco Chic I prefer a cream or oil for my cleanser. I pretty impressed by the pictures of removing makeup, it does a good job
ReplyDeleteSame here, I think! If it worked equally well on eye makeup, I'd be completely sold! As it stands now, I mostly save it for the mornings or days when I'm not wearing makeup.
