🎵 These Boots were made for walking…right into your makeup bag! 🎵
I found the best makeup wipes! — and better still, they’re totes affordable and available right down the street at the drugstore. They’re the Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes for All Skin Types, and I randomly picked up a pack one day on a whim at Target because I ran out of the Pixi wipes I’ve been using since last month.
I also wanted to try something new (story of every beauty junkie’s life, am I right?). As luck would have it, they’re amaze-balls! They’re quite possibly the best makeup wipes I’ve ever used.
First, the important stuff: they’re fragrance-free and remove everything, even long-wearing and waterproof stuff. They also do it in the blink of an eye and don’t leave a greasy film behind (like so many heavy-duty wipes do, like the ones from MAC, which had been my makeup wipe standard bearer for years).
The thing I love most about these is that I don’t have to tug or rub at my skin at all. It’s all about light swipes, and that removes all of my makeup. I’m talking ALL OF IT. I’ve even used these on my water lines in a pinch and didn’t experience any irritation.
OK, so, you know how most wipes feel almost dry? They’re just slightly wet? They feel like they don’t have a lot of makeup remover in them? Well, Boots isn’t chintzy like that because these feel wet.
I was gonna type “moist,” but then I remembered how much I hate that word… Moist, moist, moist. The more you say it, the weirder it sounds. Blech!
Anyway, I never expected to ever get this excited about makeup wipes, but I’ve tried my share, and these are straight-up exceptional. They’re also a pretty good price, but you gotta get them in a two-pack to get the best value. Both Ulta and Target charge $10.99 for a two-pack of 30 wipes each (60 wipes total), which works out to 18 cents per wipe.
Not bad, right? If you get them in a single pack of 30 wipes for $6.99, you pay a little more.
For comparison, my previous holy grail wipes from MAC, which I used to buy in bulk (and which are still great, but I think the Boots ones are better at removing waterproof mascara), are 29 cents per wipe.
Who gets excited about affordable makeup wipes? THIS GIRL RIGHT HURR. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

oh my gosh I have been looking for these forever!
I discovered them back in the day, but then my target stopped carrying them and then I could have sworn they came out with a new formula and I just gave up because I thought they stopped making these!
every once in a while when I see a boots no7 display I will check to see, but no luck!
so glad u found these, I’m off to order them online 😀
Ok I need to try these because I have been using Neutrogena wipes for years and no other wipes have come even close! And…it gives me an excuse to go to Target 🙂

You posted these a few years ago – they have been my go-to for makeup removal ever since! Thank you! They don’t irritate my eyes!!!
I haven´t used wipes in years, I don´t feel comfortable relying on them as a cleansing step. But I guess the right ones are great for someone changing the makeup quite a lot when testing products.

Hi! I use them mostly as a quick way to remove eye makeup and lip makeup and swatches. They work great for that! For real deal cleaning I do a balm and then a cleanser. You know how it goes. 🙂
On the real….I’ve been searching for new makeup wipes for a minute. I was going back and forth between the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths and the Simple Micellar Make Up Remover Wipes. Both were decent but I wasn’t IN LOVE with either of them. Definitely going to pick these up the next time I’m in Ulta or Target. Thanks for the recommendation!
You’re welcome, Jen. I hope you like them. I’m about to go back and get another 2-pack — hopefully this weekend. 🙂
