I was cruising a Bed, Bath & Beyond a few weeks ago, looking for couch covers, when I spotted their ginormous, new beauty section. The company has been rolling them out in their larger stores nationwide.
Anywho, that’s when I spotted Comodynes Oats Makeup Remover Facial Cleanser Wipes ($6). I can’t resist makeup wipes, so I picked them up but hadn’t gotten around to using them until this week.
Takes It Off; Takes It *ALL* Off
I opened the pack after Jen’s wedding last Saturday, and wouldn’t you know it? — these things rock. A single wipe was all it took to remove my full-coverage foundation, long-wearing MAC Fluidline Gel Liner AND several layers of heavy duty Chanel Exceptionnel thickening mascara. Not bad.
The wipes feel soft against my skin, kinda like the stretchy fabric of L’Oreal Skin Genesis Wet Cleansing Towelettes. In fact, they’re so soft and moisturizing that they didn’t irritate sensitive areas like the skin around my waterline (they’re even alcohol-free).
Comodynes Oats Makeup Remover Facial Cleanser Wipes
Price: $6 (20 big wipes per pack)
Use: A superb makeup removing moist towelette; even removes long-wear and waterproof eye makeup with ease.
Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A+
No Sticky Film, Yay!
And, unlike L’Oreal Skin Genesis Wet Cleansing Towelettes, Comodynes wipes don’t leave a sticky film. I’ve gotten used to following up makeup wipes with water and a facial cleanser like Chanel Precision Cleansing Milk, but since these leave almost no detectable residue (just the faintest moisturizing coating and light rose scent), I could use them sans cleanser in a pinch.

At 8-by-8 inches, Comodynes wipes are huge! I’m going to cut some of them in half and stuff ’em back in the package (a plastic pouch that seals with a sticker). 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

November 26th, 2008 at 1:48 pmThis product sounds great! I rarely use makeup wipes as it’s difficult to find some that remove all makeup. I’ll have to check these out, thanks!

November 26th, 2008 at 2:14 pmI got a pack of these at Trader Joe’s. I think they were less than $6 there. How would you say they compare to your fav MAC wipes?

November 26th, 2008 at 7:07 pmThey have parabens though, which are preservatives that mess with your estrogen levels, and can cause some people to break out (like me). Definitely not for those with sensitive skin, I’m afraid.

November 26th, 2008 at 8:41 pmDo you know if they’re available anywhere in the UK or somewhere that ships to the UK? I love my Korres wipes but I wanna try something new.
The UK never has good products like America does… 🙁

March 7th, 2010 at 4:27 pmOMG, these wipes are AMAZING! Like the person in the article says, it takes it ALL off.
They’re really nice and moist and they work great for me. First time I bought them it was ’cause they didn’t have anything else in the store for dry/sensitive skin and I can say I made a great discovery!
I have seen that they sell them in the UK through Amazon, they cost £3.99 – a bit more expensive than some wipes but totally worth it.

July 22nd, 2010 at 9:19 amI have used the Made from Earth Green Tea Cleanser since I was a teenager, when my mom bought it for me. Over the years I’ve tried many, many other cleansers and I always come back to the one from Made from Earth. So, now it is the only one I ever buy.
You can use it two different ways, either by massaging it over your face and then wiping it off with tissue or a wahcloth or rinsing it off with water. It is gentle on my dry sensitive skin and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized. It also removes my makeup, including eyeliner, mascara (unless it’s waterproof), eye shadow, concealer, and face powder, with no irritation. It is very reasonably priced and a bottle lasts me a long time, usually at least 3 months.
I have recommended it to many people who comment on how great my skin looks and feels. I can’t say enough good things about Made from Earth – so glad I found it!
