I use micellar water every single night to take off my foundation and boy have I used a lot of one use cotton pads! I knew it was time to change and when I saw these on sale at the supermarket there was no better time to do it.
They come in a pack of 3 and are a decent size. One side is white and one is pink which gives it that nice girly touch. First off I noticed how soft they were!
I have only been wearing foundation lately and no other makeup so I have not used them to remove mascara or eyeliner yet. I simply pop a little micellar water on the pad and swipe all over my face....it glides along smoothly and is very gentle.
It removes my foundation with ease and not a trace is left on my face. I do find that they get stained a little but nothing major. After use I give it a quick wash and let it dry and it goes in the washing machine every other day.
I highly recommend these and I definitely feel better now I've stopped using disposable cotton pads! They also save you money in the long run so it's a win win situation!
I picked this up in the grocery shopping as I wanted a more eco friendly way of using Micellar Cleansing Water than using cotton pads. Luckily they were on special and quite a good price.
First thing about these pads are they are so soft, and really lovely to use on my face. With the micellar water they work really well to remove makeup - and for eye makeup they work better if you hold it on your eye for a few seconds to soften the makeup first. They use a bit more water than a normal cotton pad as they absorb a lot but it feels better to be not throwing away cotton pads all the time.
I wash straight away to remove the makeup off them and they are dry by the next night. I then wash them in a mesh bag (so they don't get lost) in the washing machine once a week.
