Drugstore make up wipes

I've tried everything from cheap to high end drugstore make up wipes and I must say, not all is worth the money. Below are some of the few make up wipes I've tried and what I think is actually worth the money and what's not.

Quo Make Up Wipes 
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? No

These are pretty good wipes. They are easy to use, take off all your make up but the only problem is the price. For about $10 you're paying for 30 pre moist wipes, which is okay but there are many cheaper alternatives out there. Especially if you're using this daily. Saving a bit of extra money goes a long way. 

Soap & Glory Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths 
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? No

Average make up wipes, scent is pretty good but made my face very red. I have very sensitive skin, so I felt this product was a bit too harsh. It says it's "infused" with pore shrink-rs which I think is false. I don't really think a make up wipe can make my pores shrink any smaller. These were one of those make up wipes where I just used it to get it over with since I didn't want to put it to waste. These comes with about 25 wipes.


Burt's Bee Sensitive Cleansing Towelettes
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? Maybe in the future

The most important thing about make up wipes is having one that doesn't make your face burn or has too many fragrances in it. This is one of those products. Especially since it's made for sensitive skin. For the price you pay, it's the same as the Quo and Soap & Glory but this would be the one worth spending a little bit more money on if you are willing to pay around $10 and also comes with about 30 wipes. 

Neutrogena All in One make up removing cleansing wipes
Price = $
Would I repurchase this item? Yes

I tried this for the first time when I went on (savealoonie.com) and seen that Neutrogena was having a giveaway where they send you a box of free deluxe sized products for you to try. I must say I was really impressed. This was super soft on the face, barely any scent, and it took off everything on my face. These are one of my holy grail make up wipes and is pretty comparable to the new Simple cleansing wipes. These come with about 25 make up wipes and cost about $5-$6 at Walmart depending on where you live.

Andrea EYE Makeup Remover Pads
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? No

These were really hard to use.. I had such a struggle that I didn't even finish using the pads inside just because it couldn't even take off my mascara even though it wasn't waterproof. I felt like I had to really rub the pad for it to get my make up off and even doing that, I still had to use another make up remover to clean off the rest. It comes with about 65 pads but even with that, I would never buy this product again. This is probably the only product that I really disliked out of all of them.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? No

For start, these smell amazing. Grapefruit freaking make up wipes? Yes please! My face smells so good after using this and it also feels really cooling. The only downside to this product is the fact that I tried using it on my eyes and let me just say... don't ever try it on yourself. It hurt like a b*tch and I just couldn't open my eyes at all... it was stinging like crazy and also made my eyes really uncomfortable. As good as this smells without being too overpowering, I wouldn't repurchase this again and this comes with 25 pre moist wipes. 

Say Yes to Tomatoes blemish clearing facial towelettes
Price = $$
Would I repurchase this item? Yes

I've tried many products from this line and I must say, I did not really like them. I was afraid to try this product but because I read that it said "blemish clearing" on the label, I picked it up right away. This product is pretty good, It says that it's 99.6% Natural, which is better than most make up wipes. It makes your face feel really clean after using it and I would probably repurchase this in the near future if I ever start getting tired of my neutrogena make up wipes. 


L'oreal Age Perfect Smoothing Cleansing Wipes
Price = $$$
Would I repurchase this item? No

First off.. I only tried this product because I found it in my mom's washroom when I desperately needed face wipes since I had ran out and forgot to repurchase some more. I really dislike products with a strong scent so opening this package automatically made me not want to use it.. I wouldn't recommend this product for people with sensitive skin. And this product is pretty pricey since the L'oreal skincare line is always a little more expensive. The only good thing about this product is that it's biodegradable.

New start.

Hi everyone, so to those of you who know me.. well you know I'm a makeup hoarder. And I'm also a tiny bit crazy always trying to keep up with the latest trends and new products from each company. Hopefully I'll be able to do what I love, which is being able to try out new products and sharing my thoughts with everyone. I hope I can make it a habit to write in this blog more often.
