I wear makeup mostly only to work, big events, or when I go out, and I let my skin breathe without it on the weekends.
As a result, I need to remove it nightly.
I used to buy those little liquid bottles of makeup remover and then cotton pads but I stopped doing that, only because of the airplane rules on liquids.
Taking up a hunk of my plastic case space just for some makeup remover sucks.
Makeup wipes on the other hand, are not considered liquids or gels, and are pre-moistened towelettes, so I switched to them out of convenience for travel.
What I’ve tried on my face:
- Oil of Olay Regenerist Wipes = Best of the bunch
- Oil of Olay Daily Facial Wipes
- Neutrogena Deep Clean Wipes
- Simple Mango Makeup Wipes (£6)
- Simple Green Tea Makeup Wipes (£6)
I was considering buying Korres Pomegranate Cleansing & Make Up Removing Wipes next because I’ve loved the brand Korres so much, but I wasn’t sure.
I also think that it would smell nice, and they’re more natural than the other makeup wipes out there.
Then I got on Twitter and started listing out what I MIGHT buy next, and they both told me to forget it and go to Cost-co.
With advice from makeup junkies like Arianne and Marisol, you just can’t go wrong.
So I bought the 150 wipe pack on their advice.
Yeah I know. Parabens up the wazoo. But if it works, it works and that’s all I want.
I don’t want to rub and scrub at my face to remove my makeup, and ruin my face.
And this is what’s inside:
80%. Can you believe it? It was like getting 120 wipes FOR FREE, or 4 packs for free.
Amazing.
So far, I’ve used a pack and they work just as well (if not better) than the other brands I’ve tried. They are not as liquidy, but they do the same job and get the makeup off my face.
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.

I love wipes! I’ll definitely pick up and try the Costco brand next time I’m there.
I love Kirkland makeup wipes, they’re great. I’ll have to get my mom to look next time she’s at Costco and see if she can pick some up.
OMG I was actually doing research on this! 🙂 Right now I use wipes from the Dollarama which cost me $1.25 for 25 wipes. When I looked at other brands in the drugstore I realized they had so many weird ingredients including parabens and they were all more expensive. These cheapo dollar store ones have few ingredients, no alcohol, dermatologist tested and no parabens. I’ve never tried these Kirkland ones but might do that now, the ones I have are not as moist either but do the job still. Still curious to try other brands even though the ones I have work fine. Not sure I’ll give up my cheap wipes, so far they are the best ones with the least ingredients. Thanks for the post!
LOL I use the Dollarama ones too, they’re nice on the skin not sticky and i find i break out less when i use them.
It’s online for $34 for 300! http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11659645&whse=BC&Ne=5000001%204000000&eCat=BC|589&N=4045837%204294965838&Mo=0&No=0&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&topnav=
Now this is my kinda story. I’ve been looking for a cheaper alternative to taking off my makeup. I really didn’t want to buy another liquid and, while I thought about baby wipes, I wanted something else. I will definitely check out the Kirkland wipes.
Hmm, I didn’t know that wipes don’t count as liquids… good to know!
You have just convinced me to go back to wipes! I am terrible at washing my face at the end of the night because I work two jobs and I am just plain tired. I usually just splash some water on and put on mosturizer. When I used to buy wipes though I used them every night since they were so easy.
we’ve been getting Eli’s baby wipes at Costco too. The Kirkland wipes are $19.99 for 900 wipes which is an amazing deal and they work just as well, or better than, many of the other baby brands.
