Kleenex skincare - Wipes, cloths and shine absorbing sheets

A while ago I blogged about how much I loved Kleenex's eye make up removal wipes and the lovely people from their PR team sent me the rest of the range to try out which I was very excited about.

Face Wipes

I've tried a lot of face wipes, and I mean alot, I've found that they are either good or bad. As the eye make up remover wipes had impressed me I had high hopes for these and I wasn't disappointed. I rate face wipes using several factors: thickness, scent, wetness, price and removal. Kleenex face wipes are quite thick but not too thick like a cloth, they are moist enough so one wipe will remove an average days make up, they are lightly scented in a clean, fresh scent and at £2.99 for 24 wipes I can't complain at the value for money.

Face Cloths

I hadn't seen a product like these before and initial thoughts were that they seemed a little wasteful to just throw away but as they are a cross between cotton wool and a face wipe and as they are quite thick you can rinse and reuse so they are actually more economical. Before I was sent these I had read Annabellas review of them and she wasn't impressed so alas trusting a fellow bloggers opinion I decided to pass on trying them until they dropped through my letter box. I was a little unsure how to use them but I applied cleanser to my face and used one cloth to wipe away and I LOVE them! Every last trace of make up was removed and if you have a full face of heavy make up on these are perfect to use for removal as they are more heavy duty than wipes. Oh another use I found for these was when I was suffering from a bad migraine a few weeks ago and needed to cool down I used one of these as a cold compress on my forehead and even after numerous times under the tap to wet it again it was still going strong! These are £1.99 for 30 cloths.

Shine Absorbing Sheets

I've never seen the point of blotting sheets before. I mean why apply your make up just to wipe it away??? Ahhh well if you use these correctly then you don't. The sheets aren't coated in powder so when you dab your oily t-zone you're make up is left looking untouched but with slightly less shine! One sheet is enough for me to de-shine my forehead and chin. A pack of 50 sheets cost £2.99 and these will last absolutely ages!

I would buy all three of these products again and the shine absorbing sheets have already become an everyday used product.

Have you used any of these? What did you think?

My current favourite products

Over the last two months I have found a number of products that I simply love and thought I'd show you them in one post. There is a mixture of cosmetics, skincare and haircare.

Clockwise from top left:

Kleenex eye make up removal wipes - £2.99

A quick and easy way to get ride of eye make up at the end of the day and doesn't dry your skin out.

MUA Heaven and Earth palette - £4

A cheaper alternative to the Naked palette with a shade for every occasion, it's quickly becoming my most used palette in my make up collection.

Hello Kitty eyeshadow palette - No longer available, was £8

I've only used two colours in this eyeshadow palette, the third and fourth on the top row, but I love how pigmented the colours are. It's a bit of a shame this is no longer available.

Collection 2000 Cream Puff in Cotton Candy - £2.99

I don't go for pink lipsticks but that fact that this is a matte product appealed. You can build up the colour to how pink you want to go and I use this at least once a week.

Bourjois Flower Perfection foundation - £11.99

Simply the best liquid foundation I've used in years. Leaves your skin matte and lasts all day long. Amazing.

Organix Brazilian Keratin therapy flat iron spray - £6.99

As you've probably guessed this is organic and contains the moisturising ingredients cocoa nut oil and avocado oil as well as cocoa butter and keratin protein to help strengthen the hair. This smells amazing and my hair is left feeling lovely and soft once dry and styled.

Maxfactor mini polishes (colour shown Hot Pink) - £3.99

I love these polishes as for the same price as some 'cheaper' brands you get a much better quality product. I also love that they are quite dinky because who really ever gets to the end of a nail polish bottle? I have about 10 of these polishes.

Nivea Pure & Natural face cream - £5.10

A light cream that absorbs quickly and leaves your face feeling matte and is the perfect base for foundation.

Do you love any of these products or what would you recommend to try?

Review - Kleenex eye make up removal wipes

Last year it was announced that Kleenex were launching a line of skincare wipes and to say I was quite excited about his is an understatment. Actually I don't now why I was quite so excited but as I had quite a hoard of products I waited until a few weeks ago to purchase something from the range and the item I bought was the eye make up removal wipes.

I like the packaging of these as it's quite girly and clean looking. You get 24 wipes in the pack and they don't contain parabens or SLS and they are made with natural fibres so they are kinder to the environment than the average face wipe.

Each wipe is quite large and is thicker than a normal face wipe so you can remove the most stubborn of mascara and each wipe is sufficient to use on both eyes.

I'm really impressed with these and repurchased almost immediately. Each pack costs £2.99 and are available from Superdrug and supermarkets.
