PR: Up and Up Brand Cleansing Towelettes

This is going to be kind of a comparison as well as review, because I've tried two different kinds.

First up, the Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes.

Up&Up Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

I first bought these a couple years ago. I thought it was a cool idea and that they would be helpful for overnights and when I'm just too tired to go through the whole regimen at night. The description on the side says that they cleanse, tone, and moisturize. I agree. I don't feel a need to add a moisturizer afterward, but I do have oilier skin that some. If you veer more towards dry skin, you might still have to add a moisturizer. But that's still quicker than my normal routine.

These wipes are are supposedly comparable to Neutrogena's makeup removing towelettes. I have never tried those, because I believe that store brands often have stuff that works just as good, if not better. Since I like the Up and Up wipes, I've never felt the need to buy Neutrogena's. They also remove eye makeup, which is nice.

Here's a little picture show of how well the wipes work. Here's me with makeup from the day:

Here's a close up of the darkish eye makeup that was on (the photo doesn't quite do it justice. I sort of hate this camera):

Here's my face after using the cleansing towelette. All squeaky clean!

Here's what the cloth ended up looking like:

Look at all that black! It did a great job of removing my mascara and eye liner. The reason you see a kind of starburst shape of black is because I'd wrap the cloth around my finger and kind of brush it against my lashes as lightly as I could. I thought that was the best way to get all that junk off.

Now for the other guys.

Up&Up Exfoliating Cucumber Cleansing Towelettes

I'm not sure what possessed me to try something other than the plain makeup remover cloths. I probably thought that the others were good, and these would be good too. And who doesn't like a little extra exfoliating power? Well, in this case, I don't. Let's compare the cloth textures:

Makeup Remover Towelettes

Exfoliating Cucumber Towelettes

Do you see those bumps?! They are huge. They're the same consistency as pills on your clothes. They're not quite as large, but it's like that's how they made them. They're too rough for your skin. The packaging claims that the one side that doesn't have bumps is for gently removing makeup while the bumpy side is for exfoliating, but you can still feel the bumps through the smooth side, and it's still too rough. I do not like these, and I will not purchase them again.

To wrap it up: go for the makeup remover kind NOT the exfoliating. Do that, and you're golden :) Thanks for stopping by, and I'll talk to you soon!
