This is the first e.l.f product that I have to say No Thank You to.
My latest beauty obsession is makeup removing cleansing cloths, and I'd previously had an excellent experience with another brand, but as I was doing an iherb order I thought I'd toss a pack of these in and give them a whirl. Thank goodness they're only a few dollars, otherwise I would've been having a 'what a waste of money' moment.
The packaging is simple, a black pouch with white accents. It'd fit nicely into a bag or your car's glove compartment, which is always handy. The cloths come out easily enough and look and feel a lot like babywipes. Now this next bit is where the wheels fell off for me. They stink!! They remind me of the smell of just cleaned public toilets! Sweet, but chemically. And just plain out spew inducing! (I know, that's quite harsh, but it's how I felt). I battled through the stench and wiped my face and yes makeup came off. Then looking at the instructions I noted that it said to rinse your face after using. At that point I thought 'what is the point?'. If I'm that near a basin I may as well just use cleanser! So I got up and did use cleanser, to take the smell away, then threw the pack on the bedside table vowing to never use it again. And I haven't.
Call me fussy, but I like a makeup remover that can be done from the comfort of bed, that does not need rinsing off, and does not stink to high heaven. Yes, it removes makeup, but it doesn't remove hassle. Not. My. Favourite. N.T.Y.
Ok so I am one of those naughty people that hates to remove there make up and often goes to bed with it on and then in the morning furiously rubs there eyes to get it off until I tried these !
I tend to wear a lot of black eyeliner and also a waterproof mascara. When I use these wipes it only takes a few wipes and all my eye make up is gone. I also found that it was really gentle on my sensitive eyes and also that it worked wonders getting my Double wear foundation off.
The packaging wasn't anything exciting they can in a black packet with a hard top on them. I did enjoy the smell as it was kinda of lemony and was quite refreshing.
Tips: I would definitely recommend these for eye make up removal and perfect size for the bag !
