Best Makeup Wipes EVER!!!

In my Irish Beauty Blogger Secret Santa box I received from Kayleigh Land a few weeks ago was a packet of Waterwipes. They’re a makeup remover for sensitive skin that promise not to sting or dry out the skin which I’ve found in the past to happen to myself when I’ve tried other brands of makeup remover wipes.

I’ve been really lazy when it comes to taking my makeup off the last few weeks so I’ve started using the wipes. Usually if I were to use a remover wipe I would still have to wash any remaining makeup off my face but with the Waterwipes the makeup literally melts off. I wouldn’t have ever thought about doing a post on makeup remover wipes but I’m just amazed at how well these take my makeup off that I felt I had to write about them.

I always find it hardest to remove my mascara and eyeliner especially as I tend to use long lasting ones that doesn’t budge all day so I put the wipes to the test and my eyes where kohl free in minutes. As well as getting rid of all the eye makeup it didn’t sting at all which has always happened in the past, even more so because I have sensitive eyes so for the wipes to both remove my makeup and not sting me one bit is a big achievement.

There’s no sting because the wipes are 99.9% water and a little grapefruit extract and some Dead Sea minerals, unlike other wipes they don’t contain alcohol, parabens, perfumes or other nasty stuff that can sting or dry out the skin.

You can buy the wipes pretty much everywhere – Spar, Dunnes, Tesco, Boots, Supervalu – and cost you around €3.50 depending where you shop.

I definitely recommend these wipes, I’ll be buying more in the future as they’re always handy to have, especially when you’re in a lazy mood and want to get your makeup off quickly.

Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

Morning all!

I haven’t done a proper review in a while so I thought it was about time I did one.

I love looking after my skin and love a product that can clean off my makeup as quick as possible (the sooner the better I can get into bed the better).

I never usually shop in Body Shop, the most I think I’ve ever come out of the place with is a lip balm or a spray but I had heard a few people mention their new Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil so I decided to buy it and try it.

My typical routine involves my Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean cleanser and my Nimue Cleansing Gel at night and just the Nimue Gel in the morning (I need the extra cleanser to make sure every bit of makeup is taken off before I go to bed). Since I bought the oil I’ve used it every night since and Peaches and Clean has since been retired to the back of the shelf in the bathroom.

I’ve never used a cleansing oil before so it was completely new to me when I first used it. I just use one pump in my palm and rub it into my hands and then massage it into my face. It’s so relaxing just before going to bed to massage it in and the smell is so calming it really chills you out. Apart from relaxing you it really strips the makeup off your face. After massaging I add a bit of water and it turns into more of a creamy consistency, once I’m done I just wipe it all off and my face is spotless. I use my Nimue Cleansing Gel after just to make sure every last bit is gone.

Before - Full face of makeup 

During

After - All my makeup is gone :)

All in all I really like the oil, it’s so different and relaxing and really takes my makeup off really well. Even though it’s an oil it doesn’t affect my skin in any way, I’ve oily skin so don’t worry if you do to as it’s for all skin types and won’t make you any greasier.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your day
