This weeks $1 *GEM* comes from my trip to 'Big Lots'.
I went to look for a new table and storage options for my ever growing cosmetics and skin care collection and came out with more makeup and skin care products.
Brief reason why I like 'Big Lots', they sell products that are still on the market and not everything is something discontinued like in some other places.
The *GEM* is makeup wipes by 'epielle'. I'm guessing it's a no name brand, but at $1 I figure I could spare it and take a chance.
Why I picked them & what makes them good:
-cucumber: cooling. refreshing, soothing, green tea, aloe, vitamin e
-oil free
-hypoallergenic
-moisturizing
-won't clog pores
-alcohol free
After seeing this on the packaging, how could I NOT want to try them!
Things I discovered by using them:
-the wipes are soft, not stiff and paper-like, like other cheap wipes
-smells amazing: natural cucumber smell
-actually cleans well, removes makeup, however, not great at removing mascara.
-moist wipes, not dry, you get a good amount of moisture on the wipe. When I opened my package, my first wipe was a little dry, but the next one was great.
-also these wipes are good even if you're not wearing makeup. Use just as a refresher throughout your day.
PLUS there are 30 wipes in 1 pack
I would recommend these wipes to anyone, especially people on a really tight budget, who want to be fabulous. By all means, I am not dismissing any other makeup wipe I've tried. For the price these ones are the BEST! I've tried 2 other brands of $1 makeup wipes that were absolute trash! (and 1 was by a name brand company)
If you are near a 'Big Lots' check these out! I was promised a return trip back to the store this weekend, so I will be picking up some more and maybe they're 'cousin' the cleansing face wipes...which I will gladly review. I hope those will be a *GEM* as well!

REVIEW!!! Makeup Wipes
The week's review is brought to you by makeup wipes
I tried 4 different kinds by e.l.f, Biore, Neutrogena and Walgreens.
E.L.F. Makeup wipes
these wipes have a very soft florally smell. The cloth is not textured, it's flat, thin and very soft. It's also kind of stretchy.
the size is 7x7 inches and cost $3.00 for 20 wipes
(If you used 1 wipe everyday) the yearly cost would be about $55.
Biore Makeup wipes
these are textured. They have little dots on them, for scrubbing I guess, but they are rough. The smell is light and clean. The wipes get off all the makeup, but they are so rough I do not want to use them around my eyes. When I did use them near my eyes, I experienced mild irritation.
the size is 5x8 inches and cost $6.89 for 30 wipes
yearly cost about $85
Neutrogena Makeup wipes
Soft and untextured. They come in a variety of scents. I tried the regular and lavender, both smelled great. They removed all makeup. No irritation to the skin or eyes.
size is 7x7 inches and cost $6.89 for 25 wipes
yearly cost about $100
Walgreens Makeup wipes
I know people stay away from store brands because they don't think they will be as good as other name brands. Thes wipes were great! They were thicker than any of the other brands listed and soft. They reminded me of baby wipes with a similar smell. These wipes get off all makeup without irritation.
size is 7x7 inches and cost $4.99 for 30 wipes
yearly cost about $61

ps-this is the old packaging, Biore now uses an all white wrapping with blue lettering and design.
Neutrogena Makeup wipes
