Product Review: Everyday Minerals Cosmetic Wet Wipes



Product: Everyday Minerals Cosmetic Wet Wipes
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $3.75 for 80 sheets
Would You Buy This Again? Of course!

PROS: Gets off even the toughest waterproof eyeliner! It's very gentle on the face and DOES NOT dry my face out at all. It strips my face of makeup, but not of moisture! These also don't leave your face feeling greasy or oily like MAC wipes do. They're just the right amount of moisture to leave your face feeling fresh and soothed.

CONS: None that I can think of!

-----------------------------------------------

I'm sorry it took me so long to do this review! I've been buying so many things that I forgot to do some reviews :P Anywho, the antibiotics that I've been taking for my bladder infection totally knocked me out yesterday. The side effects were dizziness, drowsiness, and all the usual which I never listen to cuz it usually doesn't affect me, but it did yesterday! I took it in the morning and I was fine, but when I took it around 5 pm, it made me REALLY dizzy and it felt like I had a huge headache... So I slept at like 7 and didn't wake up until 8 this morning! And I took it again twice today and I was fine... I think I got really dizzy and light headed cuz I didn't eat for like 8 hours... I can't eat 2 hours before I take the antibiotics and 6 hours after I take them... so I'm basically starving for like 8 hours lol. It sucks!!!!!!! I'm on the meds for 3 days and tomorrow is my last day, but I don't think my infection is going away by tomorrow cuz it still hurts! I think I'm going to have to call my doctor and see if they can prescribe me meds for more days... :(

Product Review: MAC Wipes



Product: MAC Wipes
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Overall: 3 out of 5
Price: $16 for 45 sheets and $24.50 for 100 sheets
Would you buy this again? No

PROS: This takes does its job and removes makeup very well. I also like how the packaging comes with a plastic top that clicks to close to prevent the sheets from drying out. These may also seem expensive, but if you buy the 100 sheet pack, it's really not. Neutrogena sells a 25 sheet pack for $7-9 so 100 sheets for $24.50 is really not that bad.

CONS: These are alcohol free, but they sting my face. (I have really dry and sensitive skin though). If I use these to remove my makeup at night, I usually wake up with a whole bunch of tiny red dots on my face so I wouldn't recommend this for people with dry or sensitive skin. They also sting around my eye area. I also couldn't find if these are eye safe or not because the packaging doesn't say (neither does the website) so I wouldn't use them continually on the eyes if I were you. These also feel a tiny bit greasy after you remove your makeup. I noticed it more on my hands as I was holding the sheet though rather than on my face.

These are also the wipes that MAC stores have for customers to use to wipe off any makeup from your hands or face so you can try them out before buying them. I'd definitely recommend trying them on your face because I used to always use these for removing makeup swatches on my hands and thought they were great but never on my face.
