 | 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. |
 | Have you heard of organic candy? Better yet, have you ever tried one? I bought my first bag of YummyEarth lollipops and they are so delicious! I hardly eat candy nowadays except for dark chocolate so I wanted to try these out. What is great about this company is that they use only organic, all natural ingredients. So why would you rather than eat candy with artificial colors, flavors made from chemicals when you can have all natural candy that tastes even better? |
