Facial Cotton

I had been wanting to try these very pricey cotton pads for quite some time, so when I saw them on the clearance shelf at T.J. Maxx for $3.00, I grabbed them. What an overpriced and overhyped product! I've tried using these to remove eye makeup, apply toner and also for correcting makeup mistakes all to no avail. The cotton squares are simply too thin and flimsy to do anything. I am so …Read more

I was all hyped about these but to be honest I'm not feeling they are really that great. I heard about cutting them in half, which I planned to do, but the ones I received are already pretty standard size and small. They are soft and I like that there is no hard bits in there, but they also aren't worlds different to me than the regular ones I get from Ulta when I'm trying to make …Read more

I think the first time I bought the sadly now discontinued Shiseido Mascara Base, I got a packet of 50 as a gift. Love them. So soft, don't shed, perfect for applying my Biologique Recherche P50V. I stock up on Sephora VIB or on the rare times when other department stores that carry Shiseido have 20% off.

Since I have oily skin, I've always had some type of cotton pad to use for applying toners. I purchased these from Sephora online in an attempt to get to free shipping. I like them, but not enough for repurchase. First of all, I don't find them to be that much better than other cotton pads stocked at drugstores. Secondly, they are expensive. Because of that, I used to limit myself …Read more

For removing eye makeup these are fantastic - because the texture does not pull at the fragile skin around my eye area. Never before had I imagined that normal drugstore cotton pads were not adequate for this purpose until I purchased myself a pack of these. Now I only use these to remove mascara, eyeshadow and eye SPF and have absolutely zero redness or irritation which I used to experience …Read more

I used these pads while I was living in Asia. This is one of the most popular pads brands over there and it isn't expensive.
I don't like them at all.
They are indeed super soft, they eat up any product I put on really fast. The border of the pads is not sealed, so the pads tend to separate. I don't like the way they're packed, I prefer the tubes. I don't like …Read more

This is a great facial cotton, but not quite what I need. The pads are so soft and can’t compare to anything else on the market. However, and this is a big con for me- I need to use so many cottons to remove my makeup/sunscreen with micellar water. I prefer large oval drugstore pads that I get at target because I only have to use two of those. For these shiseido pads I use at least 5. I also feel …Read more

Yes, it's just facial cotton. But it's totally worth it. I finally caved and bought it. I saw the reviews over and over again, and I was so curious about what could make cotton worth spending more on. I ordered it from Sephora, and I won't be without it now. It is so amazingly soft, it just feels luxurious to use. No roughness at all on my face or eyes. (I didn't even …Read more

I read many reviews on these cotton pads and to be honest, my experience is that their flaw is that they’re great ‘super soft lil squares’. I prefer the large oval/square quilted drugstore pads. I find these lil squares to be super absorbent, they soak up product, loosing their billowy-down thickness quickly into flat square sheet that barely gets half a face cleansed. Which leads to using 4-8+ …Read more

If I hadn't won a pkg of these in a gift basket, I would never have made the initial purchase due to price. But OMG these are the most incredible cotton squares for removing v long wear eye makeup. My lids are easily irritated and these are amazing. Well worth the price!
