Neutrogena Naturals Wipes Review

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored review. I was given this product complimentary from Influenster. Every opinion is my honest, true opinion. I will always tell the truth in my reviews.

This company that I work with from time to time called Influenster sent me Neutrogena's Naturals makeup wipes to try out and review. If you followed my old blog, then you're familiar with Influenster. They are a company that when I qualify, will sometimes send me products to try out and write reviews on. Although they send me free product, every opinion is my own honest one.

This product is made out of 97% natural ingredients and 100% renewable fibers. The front of the packaging says that it contains no harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, dyes or phthalates.

With this product, Neutrogena is doing something called the wipe or water movement. Where they are trying to raise awareness for water conservation and encourage us to use less water. This product was made so that you wouldn't need to use water to wash your face. Even better, for every person that makes the pledge to do the wipe for water challenge (I did!) Neutrogena will donate money to The Nature Conservancy. If you would like to pledge and take the challenge too, you can at http://www.wipeforwater.com/ .

I took the wipe for water challenge. For 3 days, I used just these makeup wipes without any water to clean my face. I normally do use a wipe to remove my makeup, but then I would wash my face with a cleanser and brush.

Every time you wash your face, you could be using up to 5 gallons of water! That may not seem like a lot, but trust me it is. Americans waste about 10,000 gallons of water a year! For the 3 days that I participated in this challenge, I saved 15 gallons of water.

Now you've heard the claims, but do these wipes live up to them? Below I have talked about my experiences for each of the 3 days that I took the challenge.

Day 1:

I wore a complete full face of makeup and then some! I had on cosplay makeup and washed it all off with these wipes. This included a lot of eyeliner and concealer. I did end up needing to use two to get it all off. The wipes did burn in a few places but there wasn't any sort of allergic reaction. After use my skin felt so soft and smooth. I'm pretty sure that the wipes did take off all of my makeup. When I applied toner afterwards, I did not see any makeup on the cotton ball. Also: no residue!

Day 2:

That day I wore some BB cream, eyeshadow (with primer), some brow filler and some eyeliner (just on my eyelid, subtle wing). Definitely not a heavy makeup day nor my normal complete full face. The wipe I used took all of it off, I didn't notice any traces left behind. My face felt clean and soft. I did feel a bit of burning but it went away. I also noticed that the wipes are pretty soft! There was 0 residue which continued to surprise me.

Day 3:

On this day I wore a mostly full face but nothing too heavy. So BB cream, eyeshadow with primer, eyeliner, lipstick, brow filler and blush. I didn't wear mascara because it was raining. The blush was Benefit's Benetint - which is a cheek stain (it smells like roses, I love it *^*. I wish Benefit would put out a perfume with that exact scent). The eyeliner was also a pretty dramatic wing.

When I used the wipe I did feel the burning sensation yet again. But it took off all of the eyeliner, lipstick and even the Benetint. After cleaning my whole face I went back with another wipe. There was a tiny trace of BB cream left - I'm unsure of if I missed some spots or they just weren't picked up the first time. But my face was totally clean after the 2nd wipe.

Over all, I really do like these wipes! They seem to remove makeup very well! I didn't like the slight burning but I can overlook that for how well they preform. There is a scent - to me it's sort of odd. It smells like fruit yet there is another note to it.

The wipes are soft and left absolutely no residue. I have used the original Neutrogena wipes on myself as well as clients in the past. I actually wouldn't mind using these on clients as well! I know I definitely will use the rest of the pack! Though I do honestly prefer to still wash my face after using wipes. I would totally recommend giving these a try. In my opinion, Neutrogena makes the best makeup wipes. 

I hope you enjoyed this review and that it made some of you think about conserving water. I know that this whole experience made me think about how much water I waste a day. I am trying to be more mindful of that now.
