Absolute Makeup Clensing Tissue/ Kirkland Brand Facial Wipes

So I guess this is more makeup type stuff than what I've been posting the last few posts....

My rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Price: $6.99

You can find these little babies at Walgreen's for $6.99 but I wouldn't even look if I were you. The only reason I got them is because sometimes when I'm taking my makeup off with soap and water and a washcloth, my face gets raw and sore and hurts for a while. So of course I'm intrigued by the thought of a wipe getting my makeup off fast and easy. And a long time ago I found the perfect ones, but I don't remember what brand or anything.

Honestly I think they are all over priced (makeup wipes) but decided to get these when I saw them at my work for like three bucks. So I did and that night I tried them out. Four wipes later my makeup finally came off. This was ridiculous! There are only like 30 in the package and there is no reason that I couldn't take all my makeup off with just one wipe. But it didn't happen. I scrubbed and scrubbed at my skin and it went raw too but with soap greased onto it.

They are a complete waste of time and do not take off makeup well at all. Which is what they're made to do! I was frustrated but at least I didn't have to pay full price!!!

Pros:
* Smells nice

Cons:
* Does NOT remove makeup easily
* Leaves skin greasy
* Not well priced IMO

I have also tried the Costco brand (Kirkland) facial wipes as well and was equally disappointed. :(

My rating: ★★☆☆☆
Price: $37.99 (for 150 wipes)
Now these wipes DO take your makeup off with ease (I only used one wipe on both sides) but I found that it left a greasy feel too and no matter how much I washed my face, it didn't leave.

This might sound gross but I usually never wash my face cause it makes me break out, but when I used these I felt like I had to. So of course when I did wash my face, I broke out. Even if I didn't wash my face after using this product, I would break out. Which wasn't fun.

Also a friend (no names) of mine used them and her eye got swollen. Don't know how that happened but every time she would use them it would swell. So that's no bueno.

Pros:
* Buy in bulk
* Removes makeup nicely

Cons:
* Leaves skin greasy
* May cause breakouts or swelling
* Only at Costco
