Review
Had some time on my hands so decided to do a short and sweet review! :) Have been using this quite a bit, as can be seen from the packaging - it's almost empty! I buy quite a lot of face wipes as I travel around quite frequently, so it's a lot more convenient to bring these out.
When I first started using this, I liked it a lot. I could take off most eye makeup with a couple of wipes, and if I pressed it to my eye for a few seconds before using a window wiper motion, it can remove mascara quite well. Of course, just like any other face wipes I have tried, it cannot remove waterproof mascara with one wipe, and there will usually be some residue left even after a few tries. But I think it's not fair to compare with proper eye makeup removers, so I think as a face wipe, it has done its job well, given that it has no problems removing face makeup and how much eye makeup it can already remove!
However, I will not suggest using this as a daily staple. I liked it so much initially that I even used it at home because I got lazy hehe - which is actually really bad. I decided to use toner one day after this, and *HORRORS* I saw that my cotton pad changed colour! Even though it seems like there are no more face makeup on my face anymore! So I think while it can remove a large part of your makeup, it cannot remove everything and cannot thoroughly cleanse your face of makeup. Actually I haven't really found a face wipe that could remove everything anyway, so I think, it's alright for a short trip (okok it's not really alright, but I pretend that it is and am too lazy to lug about everything) and it didnt cause me to break out even though I've used only this to clean quite a few times over 3-5 days straight each. That said, I do not break out easily, and have relatively good skin except for large pores.
Would still buy it because it's quite cheap, but will definitely try to pack toner along when I travel with this and remember to wash my face thoroughly before putting on other daily beauty routine stuff. :)
