#UltimateMakeupWipe

So.. we've all heard about coconut oil right? How it is good from diaper rashes to global warming. Well this coconut oil product isn't as hot as unicorns are right now. I must say, I do use coconut oil for other things. But this is a no-go on the face. I just can't. I tried to have the love and it just isn't working out. While this one isn't for me, it might work for others.

Ok so what is this..
It is a travel sized coconut facial wipe. The packaging is a metallic gray with white writing and when you tilt it there is colored writing. Kinda cool. When you first open the wipe it appears to be dry. It feels dry. But when you rub it across the skin you see the oil mark. It is supposed to remove dirt and makeup. I did not have that experience. It didn't remove anything for me. To be fair, I ONLY wear eye makeup though. I can't stand the feeling of foundation, concealer, or any of that other stuff. It really makes me feel icky. After wiping my face with this wipe I felt really oily. To be expected somewhat I figured given that it is made from coconut oil. But it was way too oily for me. I could not stand it and it started to run into my eyes and make them burn. So I had to wash it off. I had hoped that it would improve my skin somehow. Make it less dry? Smoother? Softer? None of the above sadly. 


However, this product is not all bad. There is the fact that it is a quick and easy travel sized product for those that can handle oils on their face. It smells like coconut. Which was nice at first but became annoying after a while for me. Because of the coconut (and I couldn't find other ingredients or statements) smell I have to think this is unrefined oil. The company states "Infused with the same radiance boosting properties as our RMS Raw Coconut Cream" and so I looked up the aforementioned Raw Coconut Cream. Still no real mention if it is refined or unrefined, because there is a difference. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it is infact the unrefined kind. Which earns them 1 star, (-2 if it is not and they are being sneaky.)

Pro
Smells like coconut (if you like coconut that is a good thing)
Easy to pick up and go with

Con
Did not clean for me
Left me feeling like an oil slick
The coconut smell started to bother me after a while
Cystic acne appeared after first use


So basically I have to conclude that all this is, is a wipe soaked in coconut oil. You can do that at home, yourself, cheaper. I'm all about saving money and buying wisely. Go out and get yourself a tub of unrefined cold pressed virgin coconut oil. You can find it almost anywhere. If you bring it home, use it, and notice no smell.. then it is not the right one. Refined has no smell and is not as good as unrefined, which will have the coconut scent. Use a makeup pad (the round or square ones that are like $1.50 for 100 or something) and swipe it in the tub of coconut oil. Presto! You have just made yourself one of these wipes and you can control just how much coconut oil is on each wipe. 

I received 3 of these wipes to test and review free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My opinions are based on me having the product in hand and personally testing it. I have no relationship with the seller.
