Very nice but expensive

I like almay as a brand and wanted to try these as it's a clever concept. I like that it works well to cleanup eyeliner and lines around the mouth for lipstick. It is expensive but I can see getting this again as I would keep this in my purse for night outs and events.

Almay Oil Free Make Up Sticks

I want to like these more because they work well and are a fairly novel concept. However, I can't get over the price.

They are AMAZING for travel because you can just pop a couple on the go and they take up a fraction of the space of make up remover plus cotton swabs/pads. However, for the price, you might as well buy a makeup remover and pack of regular cotton swabs and get so much more for you money!

Overall, interesting idea, but, even for on the go, I'll stick to my usual makeup remover wipes.

Expensive cotton buds that are great for travel

I like these makeup eraser sticks, I really do but before I knew they existed I was already using cotton buds and dipping it into my makeup remover to clean up my "skillful" makeup application. When my aunty passed these onto me (she doesn't wear makeup) it got me (over)thinking why in the world do we need these when the alternative is just as good if not better?

So what's the difference? There's very little difference in my opinion. The "sticks" are perfect for travel because they're compact and come with their own plastic case so you could take them on a night out to clear up any rogue shadows or mascara.

If I'm going away I generally take my makeup remover with me along with some cotton buds so I don't need to spend $24.95 on this pack. However if I'm going out for the day or night and I'm worried about my eye makeup moving then I'd take the pack with me but I barely reach for them. Remember it doesn't just remove your eye makeup - it will remove your foundation so you're probably better off wiping it off with a clean finger.

Do they perform? Absolutely. Just ensure that you're careful when snapping the ringed end of the cotton bud (I've broken OFF two much to my annoyance). Once you snap it, the makeup remover will flow straight through to the other end of the cotton bud and you can see it become saturated. I love how they tidy up the eye area very nicely but again I can achieve the same results using my makeup remover and cotton buds PLUS I can use both ends of the cotton bud.

I'm giving these 4 smooches because they do everything the brand claims but it's really a waste that we can't use the other end of the cotton bud. They are handy to have and I would repurchase but definitely not for that price - 100 pack of cotton buds is $2-$5 and my makeup remover is $11 - no thanks.

almay oil free makeup sticks

I got these for free in a gift bag in one of Almays, there fantastic for removing waterproof mascara without damaging the delicate under eye skin as it just swabs the mascara off quite easily.

Tips: great for holidays when you have a night out and need to remove all the eye makeup quickly before bed :-)

Great Travel Product

I originally got these as part of a free gift. They are amazing, especially for travel. They work great for getting off stubborn eyeliner at the end of the day. They are usually part of Almay free gift packs, so its worth waiting for that as the price is expensive compared to normal quetips and makeup remover. Stocked up recently when I went to the States as cosmetics are so much cheaper there.

Great, but not worth the price

Ok, so these little make-up remover sticks are fantastic to remove those little mascara flakes, or to perfect your wing. They are super handy, just pop one out of the container, and swipe away any mascara or eyeliner. They are small enough to fit in your bag, which I love for those on-the-go touch ups. They are especially perfect for winged eyeliner as it does leave a nice, neat line. It is a bit annoying how it is a makeup remover, so it will remove any other makeup around the eye area, so I recommend doing your wing, applying your mascara, then use the stick if needed and use any eyeshadow or other eye products you would like to use on the area. However, I really cannot believe how much they are for what they are. I think one is better off just buying some normal cotton buds and using a little makeup remover on one to remove any mascara fall/eyeliner, for the same job at a much cheaper price.

handy to have but expensvie

I got some of these free when I brought Almay foundation, I tried them, great for removing mascara and eyeliner, but cant really justify the price to have them on hand all the time, yes I would use them again if given to me, but would not buy them

Great product, but not justifiable

It did what it claimed, and removed makeup, but I prefer a more gentle approach with cotton buds, which lets me remove only as much as I need to (and is also significantly cheaper). This product was an unnecessary addition to the beauty bag.

Great to perfect the wing eyeliner!

I got these to try as an alternative to the good ol' cotton Q-Tips.

The box is super convenient, especially if you're travelling. It's small enough to be compact, and once you've run out of them, you can still use the box for something else!

The tip itself is ideal for cleaning up your winged eyeliner - especially if you're just learning how to do it. The makeup remover on the tips definitely help to make the lines super sharp.

The only bad thing about having the makeup remover already on the tip, is that it can sometimes actually remove the makeup you've put on under your eyes - meaning you have to reapply.

Tips: Because of the makeup remover already on the tip, I tend to finish my eyes, clean up and then apply my under-eye concealer or whatever products so the tips don't actually remove the makeup I've already put on.

Swisspers dual cosmetic tips with the pointed and paddle shaped ends are great. Use them without any additional cleanser and they do a great job. Much cheaper too!

These sound great, I'm always getting mascara on my eyelids. Very expensive though for basically cotton buds though!
