e.l.f Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths Review

Last week on one of my beauty hauls I picked up e.l.f's makeup remover cleansing cloths. I  heard that they were pretty good, so I decided that I would test them myself! These were super affordable, in fact, all e.l.f. products are! The question is do they work?
review

Packaging :

The e.l.f cleansing cloths come in a black baby wipe style package with a pop open dispenser. This is literally identical to a baby wipe packaging. It is very easy to pull out the wipe and convenient.
 

Quantity:

Each packet will include 20 ready to use cloths.
 

Quality:

These cleansing cloths state that they will easily cleans skin and will remove all traces of makeup and dirt including waterproof mascara. They also state that they will work on any skin types including sensitive skin. They are infused with Aloe Vera Extract to add hydration and moisture.
 
In my opinion they did do a good job removing makeup. I have used them 3 different times lately with a regular makeup look, a dark smoky eye, and with waterproof mascara. Each time it easily removed my makeup.
 
These cloths do leave a "moisturized" feel to your skin. It feels almost like a cream was applied. I wouldn't use this as your only cleansing before bed though! I do recommend it as a makeup remover, but you will still definitely want to cleanse your face as normal. I have combination to oily skin and felt that the extra moisturizers would be great for dryer skin. On the other hand if you tend to wear a good bit of makeup some removers do tend to dehydrate skin, so using these moisturizing remover cloths would be a bonus and would help put back that moisture.
 

Overall :

I would give it an A! I will definitely keep these on hand for easy makeup removal and to touch up minor makeup mistakes! They don't need a lot of elbow grease to use in removing your makeup and are definitely gentle on skin. This is also very budget friendly at under $3.00 per bag of 20. I say give them a try!

These opinions are mine. I was not paid to review or try this product by any company.
 
Stay tuned for my October favorites video post and the review of my Erin Condren Life Planner! It was shipped yesterday and I am still waiting patiently to arrive at my door! Aaah! I can't wait to share it with you guys! Happy Halloween!

In My Shopping Bag : Beauty Products

As you know I am a huge fan of makeup (in addition to fashion, design, and the like). I am also a fan of bargains! As much as I love to try new things it's good to find items with reasonable prices! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind spending more on quality products! I have my higher end items and my bargain finds (Walmart, Target, eBay, etc). Here is what I recently purchased, my reviews on the items, and color swatches.


Nail Polishes:

I know, I know! I am constantly picking up polish! I have admitted before that I hate having to go grocery shopping and usually stop by the polish isle to motivate myself! I don't get polish every time I go out, but at the prices I purchased these for I think it would be ok! All of these polishes are under $4.00 and the Pure Ice and Wet N Wild are under $2.00! Can I bargain shop or what?


Going top to bottom left to right are : 1) Sally Hansen- Wedding Crasher 2) Sally Hansen- Gentle Blossom 3) NYC- Moma 4) Wet N Wild- Under Your Spell 5) Pure Ice- Heart breaker 6) Pure Ice- Silver Mercedes 7) Pure Ice- Spit fire 8) Pure Ice- Twinkle

Eyeshadow Singles

Ulta had a sale online so I ordered a few different shadows. These four are Ulta's brand. Here are the shadows and color swatches.


1) Cherry Bomb- this is a matte red. 2) Honey Bee- A shimmery yellow 3) Mimosa- Simmer orange 4) Thrill Seeker- hot pink.

I liked all four of these, but my two favorites were the pink and red. The shimmer shades almost looked too powdery on. Even after blending it almost looked like some of the pigment would form clumps due to the coloring. Thrill Seeker is my favorite!

Lipsticks

These were also great finds and all under $2.00!



I really liked all of them, but I still think my favorites are the pink shades (1- Blossom and 4- Dollhouse pink).

Liner

I picked up this N.Y.C. white liner pencil a few days ago. This was under $1.00. I uses this for the waterline of my eye and it works great!

Makeup Remover

 Since I love trying new makeup looks I go through quite a bit of makeup remover for my eyes! I used Clinique for quite a while, but finally started trying different brands (that didn't cost over $20.00). I recently found a brand similar to Neutrogena's oil free makeup remover. This is the Walmart brand. The Equate remover was under $4.00, and worked amazing! This is the oil free remover. It took off the makeup really easily and didn't dry out my skin.

 




Those were my recent makeup purchases (for super cheap)! What bargain products have you recently purchased that you love? Happy Friday everyone. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
