Kleenex eye make up remover wipes

Kleenex recently brought out another range of products, the facial cleansing range. This range consists of a few products, facial wipes, facial cloths, shine absorbing sheets and eye make-up removal wipes and these are what I have tried out. I have my regular eye make-up remover but wipes are always handy, they are easy to carry round in your bag, for make-up touch ups and for actually what it says on the packet, removing eye make-up. Kleenex is probably known best for their toilet tissue ( and the cute adverts ) so when I saw the wipes at my local Superdrug and looked at the packet and saw that they were for sensitive skin and that they have a lower environmental impact than standard face wipes, I thought that they would be perfect for me and at only £1.99 ( usually £2.99 )here the price was perfect too.




When I opened them the first thing I noticed was how they were thicker than any other wipes I had tried, but I didn't think anything of it. They do what they say, they do remove make-up including water proof mascara, but they felt rough and made my eyes sore, even for about 5 minutes after my eyes hurt to touch. Now I have used all sorts of wipes to remove make-up, even supermarket own brand baby wipes but none have ever made my eyes feel like this. Being the person I am I decided to try them again, but again they felt rough to use and left my eyes sore. I am actually disappointed because their toilet tissue is lovely in fact when I have run out of cotton wool pads i have put make-up remover on that and used toilet roll to remove my eye make-up, and that was much better than using these. Maybe it is just me who has had these issues, but I know I will not use them again, it's actually put me off buying anything else from this range. Have you tried them? What do you think? I would love to hear of anyone else's experience with these wipes.

Me

Some of you may know me already through blogging, twitter ( @foxy1982 ) or facebook ( sam fox ), some of you may not so I am going to tell you all a bit about myself. You can see the basics from the about me piece next to my photo but what you may not know is that I have been reading blogs for a year now and have wanted to start my own but kept putting it off, not enough time, not enough money but hey its time to stop the excuses so here i am. Its taken me about a month to decide on a blog name, there were plenty of names before the one I settled on but they were all taken ( I never knew there were so many blogs out there! ), so now that I have a name its the kick up the butt I needed. For the time being any pictures taken will be on my phone so may not be of the best quality but that is only until my birthday (next month ) and then you will see nice clear pictures, yay!! I am into literally everything beauty from nail polishes to face creams and everything in between so I think you will see a selection of everything here, anyway that enough of me waffling, if anyone has any tips or wants to share there knowledge with me, please feel free to share and on that note i am off to start my first post ....
