I needed a makeup remover for a weekend trip thus I picked up this one from Cybercolors. This is not my first encounter with the brand, in fact, I wrote about their base makeup and cleansing oil quite some time back.
Was pretty impressed the other round so let's see how this fares.
One common problem I have with makeup wipes is that they tend to dry out easily. Granted, there is a seal and plastic cover, but those didn't help a lot.
Pardon that strand of hair.
I use a lot more eye makeup (eyeliner, mascara) while Jov uses more base makeup.
This can serve as a good reference to different groups of people out there.
I feel this is able to outperform many well-known brands in the market. One piece is sufficient to remove a full face of makeup.
However, it was not so effective with removing lip tint.

Stars: ★★★☆☆
Smell
Scented, I am fine with products with added fragrance (and it smells good) but take note if you are sensitive to it.
Stars: ★★★★☆
Makeup removal strength
Quite strong and in fact, I never expected it to perform so well. It even takes off waterproof eye make up effortlessly and does not sting my eyes. However, it had some tingling sensations on Jov's eyes and face.

Stars: ★★★★☆
Travel-friendly
Not the smallest pack but convenient enough to travel with. This is my go-to travel essential now.
Stars: ★★★★★
Price-point
Got it because it was on sale and I needed a makeup remover for a day trip. Very affordable without sales as well!
Stars: ★★★★★
Aftermath
Skin does not feel overly dry/oily (great!). I would still wash with a facial cleanser after that.
Stars: ★★★★★
Pros:
- Affordable
- Very effective
- Can remove waterproof eye makeup easily
- Travel-friendly
- Not overly dry/oily on the skin
Cons:
- Can sting if your skin is sensitive
- Makeup wipes tend to dry out
The Verdict
Overall, I really enjoy this very much. I have used too many not-so-good makeup wipes - had to literally rub my skin to get everything off! They were a disaster when it comes to removing eye makeup as well. At a price of $12.90 for 30 pieces, it can last for a good week-long/month-long trip.
