More like a rubber swab, not a cotton swab
I was excited to try this product for many reasons- reusable, zero waste, biodegradable case, etc. It is advertised as a cotton swab, and the description says that it is an alternative to Q-tips.<br /><br />Upon receiving it, the first thing I noted was that it's rubbery. I checked the description again and saw that it's made of silicone- fine, my mistake. Regardless, I tried using it several times for cleaning up eye makeup looks (removing flecks of mascara, evening out eyeliner, etc.), and all it did was smudge the makeup and pull at my skin and turn it red. The swab does not pick up any makeup- if anything, it almost seems to repel it.<br /><br />The only consistent outcome was that my skin felt sensitive after use due to applying pressure/tugging to move even the tiniest bit of makeup. This had been on my wishlist for awhile- super bummed that this purchase didn't work out.
