Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes Review

Posted on May 2, 2015May 14, 2020 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! Today I’m here with a different kind of review, but one I’m so excited to share. I’m one of those people who loves to use hand sanitizer on a regular basis. I always have a travel bottle in my purse, and there is a big pump on my desk. It’s so convenient, but it also dries out my hands. I was thus very interested to try Softy wipes. They are individually wrapped hand sanitizing wipes that are alcohol free, but still kill 99.9% of germs. Let me go ahead and share my thoughts on Softy with you!

Softy wipes are individually packaged, and I have to say I love the simple packaging. The wipes are easy to open, too. The wipe itself is very soft and strong. It truly lives up to the Softy name! While the wipes are labeled as having a citrus scent, the scent is very light and fresh.If you have sensitivity to fragrance, I wouldn’t worry, because the scent is barely there. I typically despise citrus smells, but the wipes just smell clean!

I’m also really impressed with the cleansing experience. The wipe is saturated with enough moisture so that I can feel my hands being cleansed, but my hands dry within seconds. I appreciate that I don’t have to wait for the wet feeling to dissipate! I also love how soft and moisturized my hands feel after using a Softy wipe. Instead of the dry, stinging feeling I typically get with hand sanitizer, my hands feel so smooth and hydrated with Softy. Talk about a win-win!

All in all, I highly recommend Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes! The packets are convenient to throw in your purse or backpack, and are perfect for kids and adults. You can also use Softy wipes to clean surfaces, as well as your hands. A pack of 100 wipes is $19.95 on Amazon HERE. It’s a bit more expensive than liquid sanitizer, but I think it’s worth the price, especially for the quantity of wipes. I will not be running out any time soon!

Please let me know in the comments what you think of Softy wipes! Will you be purchasing them?

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes | #WipeforWater

Posted on April 23, 2015August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Thursday! Today I am here to review some new makeup remover wipes from the brand Neutrogena Naturals. You all know that I love cleansing wipes, and I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect brand for me. I was so excited when I was chosen as a part of the #WipeforWater campaign with Neutrogena and Influenster! I got a pack of the new Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes to test out so I could participate in the #WipeforWater campaign Neutrogena is currently hosting. Let me go ahead and share with you my thoughts on the product and what the #WipeforWater campaign is all about!

ABOUT THE #WIPEFORWATER CAMPAIGN

As you may know, April is Earth Month. In fact, we celebrated Earth Day yesterday! In order to show its support for water conservation, Neutrogena is partnering with The Nature Conservatory to save water. Every day, you can use up to 5 gallons of water just by washing your face. So, to help reduce the amount of water we use per day, Neutrogena is challenging us to #WipeforWater and use cleansing towelettes instead of water to wash our faces. I pledged to go three days in the #WipeforWater campaign, and you can pledge as well by signing up on the #WipeforWater website HERE. Make sure to check out the website for a lot of information regarding water conservation!

PRODUCT REVIEW

Now it’s time to talk about the wipes themselves! The Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes are designed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, and claim to even remove waterproof mascara without leaving a greasy residue. The wipes are also designed to be ultra-soft and 97% naturally derived. I love that Neutrogena includes a thorough ingredients list on the back of all the products in its naturals line. I also think it’s great this this product is not tested on animals.

Unfortunately, these wipes do not live up to the claims for me. First and foremost, they did not remove all of my makeup. I had a lot of leftover mascara that would not come off using the towelettes. In addition, I found these wipes do not contain a lot of moisture. Because of this, they felt very rough and abrasive on my skin. I much prefer wipes that are wetter, because they remove all my makeup and are soft to the touch. I will say that I do really like how my skin feels after using the wipes – it is soft to the touch and feels really clean. However, I will not be repurchasing these wipes due to how rough they are on my skin and because they don’t remove all my makeup.

All in all, I’m so glad I got to test out the Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Towelettes. The #WipeforWater campaign is such a great idea, so I definitely recommend participating with whatever makeup remover wipes you currently use. You can find the new Purifying Makeup Remover Towelettes at the drugstore for around $6.50 for a pack of 25 wipes. Please let me know in the comments what you think of these wipes if you’ve tried them, and if you’re joining the #WipeforWater challenge!

Dare to Compare | Makeup Remover Wipes!

Posted on November 19, 2013August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Tuesday! I have been searching for the perfect makeup wipes for quite some time now, and I thought it would be fun if I shared some of my findings with all of you! The drugstore contains so many different brands, that I know it can be difficult to find the perfect wipes at an affordable price. Let me share with you four different brands that I’ve tested out the past few months!

Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial TowelettesPrice: $6.49 for 30 wipes; 22 cents per wipe [BUY]

Scent: These smell great! Just like real cucumbers (not the fake cucumber smell!).

Texture: Very soft to the touch, and contained a lot of moisture.

My Experience: I really liked these wipes! Overall they did a good job of removing my face makeup, but not so great at removing mascara.

Formula 10.0.6 Keep Me Clean Clarifying Facial Wipes

Price: $5.99 for 25 wipes; 24 cents per wipe [BUY]

Scent: These smelled a bit like baby wipes (I wasn’t a fan).

Texture: Rather soft, and held a lot of moisture.

My Experience: These did an excellent job of removing all my makeup, but the smell really did me in.

Olay Fresh Effects S’Wipe Out Refreshing Make-up Removal Cloths

Price: $5.99 for 20 wipes; 30 cents per wipe [BUY]

Scent: Very light scent that just smelled clean and fresh!

Texture: Very soft to the touch, and held a lot of moisture.

My Experience: I loved these wipes! They did an excellent job of removing all of my makeup, and leaving my face very clean. For a bit of added savings, use a coupon! These clarify as a cleanser on Olay Fresh Effects coupons.

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes

Price: $6.49 for 25 wipes; 26 cents per wipe [BUY]

Scent: Interesting – not bad, but it was a bit citrusy!

Texture: The wipe itself is a bit tough, but feels gentle thanks to the moisture.

My Experience: After hearing tons of beauty gurus (and my own followers!) rave about these, I’ll admit they are pretty darn good! I typically had to use two wipes to remove all my makeup, though, and they left my face sticky.

The Verdict

Out of these four brands, my favorite is definitely Olay Fresh Effects! Unfortunately, that is the most expensive, but keep an eye out for coupons and sales at the drugstore. The Simple and Yes to Cucumbers wipes are definitely a close second. I’m not sure I would repurchase the Keep Me Clean wipes, mostly due to the smell. Keep in mind that prices of these wipes vary from store to store, and geographically. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see more posts like this in the future, and what makeup wipes are your personal favorite!
