Update - Face Wipe Haul

Some of you may remember this post.  Where I went nuts and bought 6 different types of makeup remover wipes to try.

So far I've tried out :

Byphasse Micellar Water
Not bad - does a really good job of removing eye makeup!  Heaving mascara and eyeliner combo were removed fairly easily.  My face did feel warm afterwards and a bit "soapy" compared to using micellar water and cotton rounds, so I need to either rinse my face or use the cloth just before I shower.  So its not actually suitable for the job I wanted it to do - which was be able to be used which at work or out if I need to clean off my makeup.  The cloth itself is soft and pliable, actually feels like a piece of fabric but is not itchy.

Smartskin
Erm, not overly fond of these.  The formula irriated my skin and the cloth was not gentle as well. These have been relegated to be used as hand wipes to use them up  Definitely not going near these again.

I'm currently up to the Simple Age Regenerating wipes, which have been the best so far.  They dont leave a residue on my face at all and the cloth is quite gentle, so when going over my eyes, it doesn't rub and irritate.

So thus far, some "Mehs", a "No Way" and good progress on another!

Do you have any other recommendations for me to try out?  What ones have I missed that should try?

Wipe it off, wipe it off!



This is one of the stranger hauls I have done.

I suddenly had an urge to go and buy makeup remover wipes.  No idea why.

I used to use these frequently, my favourite was the Priceline Beauty Essentials Make-Up remover Wipes for Sensitive Skin and still have some stashed away, but once I was introduced to Micellar Water I lost interest in the wipes.  But these days I find that I come home from work and my skin feels really heavy and icky, and the micellar water is not enough to get rid of the "greasy-dirt" (oh how appealing) sensation.

Thus the face wipes.  They have a bit more heft than the micellar water so I wont need to rub away as much.  My plan is to use the micellar water in the morning as I have been doing - excellent for getting rid of the stuff that accumulates overnight and not too drying.  Then in the afternoon when I get home from work, use a wipe and finish up with a single cotton round (instead of 3 cotton rounds, I wear much makeup...) of micellar water.

I bought some micellar wipes to have in my handbag for days when I need to refresh/redo my makeup at work - such as long days with Parent Teacher Interviews and Info Evenings.

Not surpisingly these are all aimed at dry and/or sensitive skin. Some are from Woolworths (Safeway), some are from Chemist Warehouse.  This haul was driven by the sales/specials at both - if you wait, it'll be on sale at some point.
