what I say:

These wipes smell foul, they straight up smell like egg rish rish. They had a good amount of cleansing lotion on them, not ad wet as the Garnier wipes but definitely close say 95% as much. What really impressed me was the face wipe itself it was very thick, very much like a piece of cloth. It did not stretch out or lose shape like some other wipes I have used in the past. The texture was very smooth and gentle against my skin. I quite enjoyed using these facial wipes. The solution was not drying on my face and sunk into my skin quite quickly.  I hated these I did not even finish them i would up giving half the pack away. 

Would I repurchase? - no

Would I recommend? - not really / with caution, if you like things that smell nice, these wipes are not for you.

Would you buy full priced? - will never buy again.

Review - Olay essentials wet cleansing wipes

These wipes were so horrible, I like face wipes but these particular ones I cannot recommend. After the first review that I did of the Olay daily facials, I saw these wipes and I thought okay maybe these might be better since they were for combination skin which could or could not include oily skin. These were the worst face wipes I have ever used. The juice did not last past the first wipe, it was so much effort to wipe all over my face because the wipe would not move. They did not remove my make-up well compared to the other wipes I have reviewed. They were stiff, stiff, they were not abrasive but I needed force behind them to move them around. They left a film on my face which just sat there until it wash washed off. They were just horrid. If You have used these face wipes and had a pleasurable experience let me know, but if not do NOT try these. 

Would I recommend - No

Would I repurchase? - No

Would I purchase at full price? - Hell No

Review - Garnier Soft Essentials vitamin enriched cleansing wipes (Rose Extract and Vitamin E)

    I believe that face wipes serve a purpose in the world of fashion/makeup/beauty. They are useful for refreshing the skin, travelling and removing makeup (how well do they do this job is a topic we can debate another day). i alaywas reccomend to everyone that at the end of the day if you are not wearing makeup to give your face a once over with a face wipes, just to get ride of the grime/germs/bacteria of the day. 

What they say:

      Remove makeup and hydrate, dermatologically tested. 

Our Garnier skin Naturals Philosophy

      We use whenever possible active natural ingredients when have been carefully extracted to preserve thier quality and purity.

What I say - Skin Type - Oily, Cleansing Routine -Twice daily

    These wipes were lovely. They had enough moisture (juice) in them to last longer than the first wipe which is something Garnier face wipes have in common. the wipes removed my makeup quite well. I used 2 wipes that is just my personal preference. these wipes were very soft on the skin, pleasantly fragranced and not abrasive. They did not leave my skin feeling stripped or dry at any time.

These wipes retail for £3.20 each and 25 come in a packet (yes I know they are getting pricey.)

Would I repurchase? - Yes if they were on sale (50% off or more)

Would I purchase at full price -  Maybe 

Would I recommend- hellllllllllll yeah, for the process of makeup removal only, these are not your skin care system.

Review - Garnier Skin Naturals Simply Essentials Facial cleansing wipes

What they say:

     Remove even waterproof mascara, no perfume, no alcohol, no colourants. suitable for even sensitive skin, dermatologically and opthamologically tested

What I say: Skin Tye - Oily, Cleansing Routine - Twice daily

     They were okay, they had enough moisture, like Garnier wipes do. These ones had a bit of quilting so the texture was lovely, especially for removing lipstick. If you follow me on twitter @Rebelle01 than you know that I love lipstick. In that spirit I have about 5 lipsticks that I wear regularly when I do my makeup. Even with the quilted texture the wipes were not abrasive, the removed my makeup well. I used them in conjunction with the Simply Essentials Makeup remover. I used 2 wipes as normal to remove my face makeup and then used cotton pads to remove my eye makeup. I only used these wipes for my foundation, powder etc. The two foundations I have been using are the L'ancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 hours foundation and the Estee Lauder Double Wear (yes that good ish). I liked them, I don't have any complaints. 

These wipes retail for £3.20 each and 25 come in a packet.

Would I repurchase? - yes if they were on sale. 

Would I buy full price? -  maybe but I am more leaning towards a no.

Would I recommend? - Yes I would, they worked really well at removing those full coverage long lasting foundations.

Review - Olay daily facials express soothing wet cleansing wipes: sensitive skin

    In my February beauty buys I had mentioned that I would be writing some reviews on the  packets of face wipes I had purchased. In the grand scheme of beauty, hair and makeup, face wipes/makeup remover wipes don't come ranked highly on the scale of exciting things to review. However I do believe that face wipes are great, and do serve a purpose. They are useful for removing makeup, refreshing the skin and even for travelling, since they remove the need for packing bottles of face products. At the end of a long day of work whether you have worn makeup or not, I recommend a quick once over with w face wipe, just to cleanse the skin and get rid of the grime of the day. Plus they are guy friendly, excellent for throwing in the gym bag to freshen up. 

What Olay says: 

Olay daily facials express soothing wet cleansing wipes Go beyond effective cleansing to help soothe and nourish sensitive skin.

Olay's velvety smooth wipes have a lift and lock technology to gently sweep away dirt , makeup, and waterproof mascara.

At the same time Olay's conditioners help to enhance your skin's natural moisture.

What I say: Skin Type -Oily, Cleansing Routine - Twice daily. 

    These face wipes worked well enough. They removed my makeup, but not to the point where I would feel comfortable going to sleep without washing my face. The wipes have little bubbled bits which remind me of quilted tissues, I did like the texture. In my opinion the texture, gave a little friction against the skin and aided the makeup removal process.  They left a film on my face which I gather is from the glycerin (the second ingredient). Glycerin is widely used as a moisturizing agent, since I have oily skin, it did my no harm but did me no favours. They do say that all you need is one wiped to cleanse your face/neck/eye area. however most of the times I used these face wipes I was wearing full makeup, I used 2 wipes usually and then washed my face, or but there were times when I used 3 wipes. I do like the fact that they were gentle on my skin and left my skin feeling semi clean but no stripped like some face wipes do. They were not abrasive nor did I have to scrub at my face to get my makeup off. 

These wipes retail for £2.96, 20 wipes come in each packet. All in all they are relatively cheap compared to others on the market, however you do get less product. 

-Would I repurchase?  Yes if it was on sale and all the other face wipes were full priced. 

-Would I ever purchase at full price?  No. 

-Would I recommend?  Yes, for the purpose of makeup removal ONLY.

February Beauty: Mini Haul

Here you have it my little beauty haul for February. As you can see I am a big fan of face wipes, they are very useful for everyday just to refresh your face or remove your makeup. Sometimes I will just quickly use one, when I come home from work or uni just to wipe off the grime of the day. 

Huggies Natural care baby wipes with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E - £1

                                                                                                   

Boots Essential Cotton Buds 
35p

Boots Double Faced Cotton Pads - these are great for wiping off cream cleanser and applying toner. £1.78

Hair products Black hairpins, Hair scissors and some ouchless hairbands - since I am going  heat less for 2012 I need to have some styling apparatus. lol 

Scunci Hairpins -  £2.25

Scunci Hair scissors - £5.49

Scunci Hairbands - £2.75

Cocoa Butter Formula Body Butter - "I have been around the world and I I I" need some moisturizer. No matter how far you roam you always come back home. I needed a moisturizer and I took my nuffness to go and purchase the new Garnier gel like moisturizer ---> biggg mistake that lotion was the biggest mistake of my existence. It did nothing for me,  so I just decided to go back to what I know will work. This body butter is a thicker formula than the regular lotion and so far it has been working really well. My skin feels well moisturized and supple all day, def a good product and worth the price. £3.33

Face wipes yippie, to some of you four packets might seem excessive and yes it might be but these were all on half price sale so I thought aha I'm saving some money and I have material for the blog. I love Garnier face wipes in my humble opinion they are the best face wipes out of all the drugstore ranges for makeup removal. They are very moist but the moisture is well distributed.
