Very Attractive Container, Nice Soft Pads--Update
I got this for my wife, and here is her review: This is such a pretty little makeup remover pad holder, and it looks good just about anywhere I put it. The black tin has interlocking gold-trimmed leaves on both the lid and the bottom of the container, with a nice gold band around the center of the container separating the lid from the bottom. When the lid is removed, there is an inner gold-colored lid with a black knob. Lifting the inner lid, I see the makeup remover pads--there are 16 pads in all. The pads are black with gold trim around the edge, very elegant looking, and are 3 1/2" in diameter. The flip side of the pad is black with a different pattern of gold trim, also very classy. The cotton material of the pads is very soft and gentle to the touch and when wiping my face. I love the fact that both sides of each pad is usable, and the pads themselves are all washable and reusable. Washing instructions are on the box--machine or hand wash in warm water. There is even a soft little 100% cotton mesh laundry bag to use. The box then says to place them on a dry towel or flat surface to dry. The online instructions say they can be dried on a low heat, but since they're 70% bamboo cotton and 30% regular cotton, I think I'll just let them air dry rather than risk shrinkage or distortion. I am very impressed with this makeup remover set. Though I am keeping this set for myself, I consider it very giftable and an excellent value. --Update: My wife likes these pads so much I also ordered a set with a pretty pink and lavender container that has pink and white pads, and a set with a pretty blue container that has light blue and white pads. The system won't let me do the other reviews without overwriting this one, so be advised that I am using the same review for all three sets even though, of course, the pictures for the other containers look different.
