I picked this product up only because it was on sale at Ulta. I like it....well sort of. It does take off face makeup and eyeshadow but mascara...not so much. I end up having to use 2 wipes to take "all" of my mascara off but I still wake up with mascara smudges underneath my eyes :( I would never pay full price for this but if I found it at the dollar store (like some of you lucky ones!!) I would get it.

I love these wipes. They really get the product off. :) I've already made it a staple in my makeup box. I wish they were cheaper though but since a lot of people are saying they are in dollar stores and such, I'm going to go check out my local ones. Hope I can find it.

OK, so I wouldn't be caught dead in a dollar store, but I found these in a Five Below near me and thought I'd give 'em a shot. It does have some pros: no fragrance; takes off face makeup; travels well and doesn't make TSA goons go apeshit when I put it in my carryon. The con, and it's a big one considering it purports to be an eye makeup remover, is that it isn't very good at taking off eye makeup. Sometimes I have to use two towelettes to get it "all," and it's never all, because I wake up the morning after using it with mascara smears under my eyes (right now, my everyday mascara is PC Epic Lengths). Maybe it will work better with a truly water-based mascara,

I hate to rate a product I got for a dollar so badly, but I've tried these several times and it just doesn't seem to remove even regular mascara. The wipe is kind of scratchy also and it just isn't something that seems like it's necessary. I use baby oil on a cotton ball, and though it's oily, it works a truck load better than these things.

So like many of the review givers here I found this gem in my local Dollar Tree. I picked up a pack and I really like them for the price that I paid so I went back and picked up 5 more packs seeing as I know once its gone its gone lol.

Pros:
-Possible to remove all eye make up with one whip.
-No harsh smell
- NO slimy or oily residue
- CHEAP!! only cost me a Washington!

Cons:
-Kinda scratchy
-Sudsy
-Poor packaging ( Just has a sticky tab closer that loses its stickiness after a few open and closes had to transfer them into a zip lock)
-Low towelette count

So over all I would buy this product again at the low price of $1.00 but to have ever paid regular drug store price upward $6.00 is out of the question.

I found these at Dollar Tree so I picked up a pack. I think they did an amazing job at removing my eye makeup...even the Wet N Wild creme eyeliner that never wants to budge. I think the texture is fine as long as you're not vigorously scrubbing. I ended up going back and picking up a few more packs before they were all gone. If I can still find them I'm sure I'd repurchase again.

I never got these bc you ony get 50 wipes and it cost like 6 bucks. But since they got discontinued where did they end up? At the Dollar Tree!!!! So I picked up a couple bc hey how could I go wrong here? So these are actually really good wipes. They took off all my make up in practically one swipe. Wow, my baby wipes don't do that. (I usually use them with m/u remover anyway...) But now I'm kinda sad they aren't in rotation anymore bc I think I'd actually buy them...

I love these wipes!! I was using Neutrogena eye makeup remover (the round pads) but these began to irritate my eyes. I was in RiteAid & they were having a BOGO on Maybelline products, so I decided to give these a try. I am so happy to find these. I purchased the ones for washable makeup but I did notice that they also have wipes for waterproof eye makeup. They were only $5.69 for 50 wipes. With the BOGO, I was able to get (2) packs for that price. Awesome deal. I would recommend anyone to try these.

It does remove the eye makeup, but it may also just smear it around until completely wiping it off. It doesn't 100% remove it as my eyelids still look a bit dark, but I think washing my face is the best way to fix that.

The worst thing about this is that after wiping your eye makeup off, your lid will be left feeling very sticky for a good few minutes. The wipes are also a bit scratchy and irritating.

I probably will not purchase this again, since I am positive I can find something better.

This does what it's supposed to do and removes eye makeup. However, the makeup remover wipe I'm currently using (from Biore) feels much softer on the face and definitely feels like it removes makeup more thoroughly. These makeup removing wipes are very watery and soapy and you can see the water coming out from it when using them on your face. Another thing I dont like is that the towelettes doesnt feel as smooth and soft, they are a little bit scratchy and rough around my eye area.


I got this product for free during a promotion at my local drugstore so I have nothing to complaint about the price but I definitely will not purchase this when I run out of the one i currently have.


The packaging is pretty good for traveling and it does come with 50 wipes which is quite a good deal so i'll probably put the one I have in my travel case. Again. these are not the best wipes in the world, but it does the job.


Overall an okay product. You can definitely find better ones out there. However, it does what it's supposed to do and for that I have no complaints. I think the texture of the towelettes can be improved and the formulation can be not as wet but overall an okay product. Not complete waste of money if I purchased this but I probably wont repurchase either way.

I got this for free with one of my other Maybelline products a couple years ago and I have yet to use these. They are pretty much useless and don't remove my eye makeup. I love Ponds cold cream for removing eye makeup and am actually starting to use these towlettes for wiping my mirror clean and random stuff like that because they really have no purpose near my face.

This product is fairly good. It gets makeup that is pretty tough off my face. It doesn't have any funny odors, but after wiping your face with one, it does leave my face feeling kind of sticky(not really annoying though). I would say these are pretty much worth purchasing.

you have to rub and rub to get the product to come off, and after about three uses like that my eyes were red and super sensitive.....this product is pretty awful.

I got this product along with the mascara 3-pack at costco. I didn't really like it because I always have a hard time removing my eyeliner and mascara and end up rubbing really hard to barely get it off. So I end up using an oil based eye make up remover afterwards. I would not buy this product again in the future.

These towelettes are so easy to use! You don't have to worry about wetting a cotton ball and getting the fluid all over the place. Just pull out a towelette and you're done! It takes a few swipes to get everything off your eye but it's really quick. The price is pretty good and it lasts me about a month and a half. This is really easy to travel with too.

LOVE this product.
First off, I wear alot of thick black eyeliner and tons of black mascara so it's hard to get everything off. This though has continually worked for me, plus its really easy to just use one of the cloths to wipe off my makeup.

Packaging = 3 because sometimes they dry out when I begin to run low.

I have bought these several times and often ulta has maybelline buy one get one free so i can stock up for good prices.

**UPDATE its been 4 years and I still love these!! This is the only makeup remover I will use its so easy ,works great and its cheap! Still recommend

I guess I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent here. I did not like these e/m remover towelettes at all. I had to rub & rub to get my e/m off. I normally use maybelline's expert eyes oil free e/m remover, which I love, so I thought I'd give these a try as well. I am so disappointed & def. will not buy again. The only good thing I can say about this product is that at least it does not sting. But in the future, I'll stick with their e/m remover in the bottle.

My DH. brought a few of these home to me one night to try. I had been using cotton balls and Avon's makeup remover. He told me he had noticed me do this and he thought this may be more simple. He was right. The product comes in a square reseal able package that contains remover towelettes. It is an oil free fresh and clean formula. The towelette is ultra soft and does not stretch pull or irritate the eye area. As read it is designed for all skin types. I usually play up my eyeliner and eye shadow. To top that off I use mostly the blackest of blacks out of my mascara collection. I pull out one of these and it removes the makeup off the entire eye area. I flip the other side over and use that for the other eye. After this my eyes are clean of all the makeup I had on and they do not get irritated in any way. This is the best eye makeup remover I have come across yet. It even tops my Mary Kay,Avon moisture effective,DHC and Revlon colorstay remover. I will be sticking with this.
