Kaia Naturals; Juicy Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths

Juicy bamboo facial cleansing cloths, by Kaia Naturals was one of the 5 products that came inside of my January 2012 Glymm Box. 

 I figured today would be the perfect day to test out this wipe as I was wearing enough makeup to justify a good makeup removal but not an excessive amount.  It would be unfair to test out a full face of makeup on a single wipe, as I would not expect my favourite makeup removers to do the job in one shot either.


When it comes to makeup wipes I find that they are perfect for a quick removal when you don't have the time or the resources to properly cleanse your face.  


As convenient as they are, I have always hated them for removing my mascara.  I tend to put a little makeup remover on my wipe to help me out, or I'll just leave the mascara on until I am able to properly remove it.  When I was reading the back of the post card that comes with the wipe, this statement definitely stood out to me:

Even after reading that I was still skeptical to use it on my eyelashes, but I still gave it a go.  I have to say as far as wipes go, this one has exceeded my expectations.  One single wipe was able to remove all of my makeup -- Mascara included!  I went over my face after with a M.A.C wipe to see if there was still any makeup left but the wipe came out clean.

 This is definitly something that I will be purchasing the full size of for late nights and times that I am going away and do not want to bring my whole cleansing kit.

Oh and did I mention that they are Cruilty free?

If you are interested in purchasing these wipes you can find them online at http://www.kaianaturals.com the website also has a store locator if you prefer to find a store near you to buy them.

Have you ever tried these makeup wipes, if not what is your favourite makeup wipe to use?

January 2012 - Glymm Box

It's finally here!!
My January 2012, and first Glymm Box has arrived.  I signed up late December for both the Luxe Box and the Glymm Box, and I am excited that one of them has finally arrived.  I received an e-mail on Friday saying that I should expect my Glymm box on January 20th, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came home today to see the most beautiful bubble-gum pink shipping box sitting on my counter.

And here are some pictures of the rest of this months box:

Exfoliating Cleanser

Clear Brow Gel

Body Lotion.

 So far other than the quick swatch of the Cargo Eye Pencil, all I have tried out is the Anastasia Beverly Hills - Clear Brow Gel.  The brow gel worked at keeping my brows tamed, but it almost felt as though I had coated my brows in hairspray.  I will try using this product again as it did do a great job at keeping my eye brows inline, hopefully with a lighter application it will feel more natural.


So tell me, have you signed up for the Glymm box?  If so what product did you like best in this months box?
