Review: Physicians Formula Eye Makeup remover pads

On a recent trip to Target in Chicago, I saw these Physician Formula Eye Makeup Remover pads in this easy to travel packaging. They used to offer these in a hard-case jar but they must have figured it's much more eco-friendly and convenient to just reduce the packaging and use these instead. Overall, I thought they were okay. It removed my mascara and eyeshadows but it did not remove my eyeliner! I was wearing an organic eyeliner too, so I was surprised it didn't take this off. I scrubbed for a bit, as gently as I could, with these pads but it didn't budge. Oh well.. I probably won't repurchase but it's good for travel.

Product Review: Physicians Formula Organic wear Facial Makeup Remover Towelettes

On my way to get the World of Grains cookies, I stopped by the CVS to see what new products were in store. I was super ecstatic to see the Physicians Formula OrganicWear make-up removers at my local CVS store. This store in particular always has the newest products, and it is where I found the Carmindy Natural Beauty line too.

They had all four kinds of the Physicians Formula Organic wear makeup remover available and before most purchases, I make sure that the items are properly sealed. I made the mistake of purchasing a Maybelline eyeshadow palette from a drugstore that was opened because the two mini brushes were missing. After that, I always double check that the product has not been tampered with especially since these will be going on my face I was curious to see how the eye make-up remover pads and the face towelettes were sealed. The two that I opened did not seem to have any seals on them, so I was wary that people might've contaminated them. I opened another of the face towelettes jar and it had the seal, so I bought that one.

My review- The packaging made the product easy to use. It reminds me of a Clorox wipes jar, so you just pull a towelette out from the top lid one at a time. The sheet itself is normal sized- enough to cover your face and wipe all the makeup clean. It is rather thin,though, like a sheet or two of paper but that doesn't bother me. To use- At first swipe, it took off my blush and I could see that a distinct rosy pink on the towelette. I next wiped my forehead, chin, etc., and I could see my face makeup color on there as well. So, it definitely works. Even though this towelette is recommended to be used for face makeup, I decided to do a quick test on my eye makeup. I gently pressed the towel on my eyelid and it picked up a lot of my mineral eye shadow. I just finished removing my mascara, eyeliner, and shadows with baby oil.

The result- A clean and happy face! The natural product did not irritate my sensitive skin and my face felt toned afterward.

Physicians Formula Organic wear® Makeup Removers

Physicians Formula has a new product for their Organic wear® line- Makeup Removers. They are offering the makeup removers in 4 different formulas- cotton pads, liquid, towelettes and lotion. I personally like to use baby oil to remove my eye makeup and my usual face wash with a cellulose sponge to get rid of any face makeup. Their new offerings seem great to use and I can't seem to choose just one. :)

What I like most about the Organic wear® line is that it is true to its advertising- "Hypoallergenic. 100% Free of Harsh Chemicals. 100% Free of Synthetic Preservatives. 100% Free of Parabens. 100% Free of GMO's. 100% Free of Synthetic Colors. 100% Free of Synthetic Fragrances. 100% Cruelty Free." I have found their other products to be pretty good, in terms of its staying power, considering it is using non-chemicals.

Check out my reviews on: Organic wear® mascara and Bronzer/Blush compact, Bronzer compact, and eyeliner.

According to their site, the Makeup Removers are formulated with "Eco-Aroma Therapy™ to condition and soothe: OrganiSoy® to moisturize and help nourish lashes; Eco-Olive®, natural antioxidant, to help shield lashes from harsh environmental aggressors; Organic Orange Water to help nourish and restore delicate skin's moisture balance; Organic Lavender Essential Oil, sweet, natural scent for a calming effect."

I noticed that the lotion contains Organic Jojoba Seed Oil and Vitamin E to "moisturize and help protect skin." I've heard great things about using Jojoba oil for your face.
