Garnier Fresh Essentials Cleansing Wipes

I always keep makeup remover wipes on hand even though I do not recommend them as an everyday method of removing your makeup. I need them for things like swatching and as a last resort on a Friday night after having a civilized sherry with ones chum
s (read staggering home from a nightclub with my liver a little worse for wear).

A problem I often have with wipes though is that they tend to irritate the sensitive skin under my eyes. These are no exception, in fact these are pretty bad. They are quite dry and have been since the day they were opened so it isn’t due to me not closing them properly. This means I have to rub a fair bit to shift any eye makeup and it does get really quite sore. I still wake up with panda eyes too so it isn’t worth the effort. In the end I relegating these to swatching duty only and use gentler wipes on my face.

The wipes themselves have a fresh cucumber sort of scent and you get 25 in a pack. They claim to remove makeup (which they don’t do very well), tone (meh) and purify (no). I think I paid about £2.99 for these on offer in a super market. Honestly I won’t be repurchasing as there are plenty of other brands out there which work better for me. It’s a while since I’ve been so disappointed with a product, usually I like Garnier too, but these get a bit fat thumbs down from me xxx
