Review (4/5): Good, not perfect, but really nice
This is now the second makeup removing towel of this kind and I will admit I was a skeptic about this magic towel concept, but I was offered the opportunity to review it at a reduced price and curious to compare it to the other brand I have tried. The towel itself came with instructions to wash before use, after washing I immediately noticed when I pulled it out of the washer the towel felt nearly dry already.Which is the same experience I had with the other towel. So instead of drying it with the rest of the load, I left it out to air dry to see how long it really takes to dry. One of the things I was really wondering about this towel is, if it works, could it be something to take on a long trip, where I will be packing up and moving locations every couple of days. I wouldn't want to through a moist towel into my bag and end up with a musty bag of cloths for the entire trip! This did take a while to dry, maybe a couple of hours, but that seems far less than a regular washcloth or towel.
The washcloth itself is super soft and plush, and when you get it wet is holds ALOT of water, which might be part of its magic. The directions say to get the towel wet and rub the towel with tcircular motions. Once done you can choose to flip the cloth to the to exfoliate. This towel feels really nice and gentle on my skin, and and it definitely took off the BB foundation and undereye concealer I was wearing. As for my eye shadow, eye liner and mascara, it did a decent job, but there was definitely residue left over that I felt I needed to to back over with a little soap and water. I actually went back over my face with a wet wipe to see if there was any other make up residue left behind and did find that a light amount of my face cream still wiped off, but it was a very small amount, it seemed that it was mostly my eye area that needed a little extra wash.
Overall I really like this washcloth. The idea of rarely having to use soap or chemicals to get a clean fact is really appealing. I am prone to stye’s so I will always be more vigilant about cleaning my mascara and eyeliner area more, but overall I am presently surprised by this product.
As stated earlier, I received this product at a reduced price for my honest and unbiased review.
