They are on the whimpier side of things, but I do really love them and with a little power they get off even the toughest eye makeup.

I totally agree. They aren't the best wipes ive tried, (that's reserved for the JM bear naked wipes. But a $12 a pop, i'll pass) But they do the job, and smell pleasant. I also used the skinnygirl wipes and I loved the melon smell, but they burned/ tingled when I would rub an area repeatedly or a little rough. I also want to try the soap and glory wipes, but I cant see myself spending the money on it. I might spring for it during chic week though....

Have you tried the cucumber or grapefruit? I was wondering how they compare to those since I haven't had the chance to try them yet.

It has a few bad reviews on the BB site, because I guess a lot of people who sampled it, thought it was too oily. But to me, that could mean they were using too much. I saw someone on a beauty blog (I googled) say that she had found a lot of different uses for it, like mixing it into her face products and things like that. I think I'm going to try it on the ends of my hair, too. I'm hoping the fragrance isn't going to make me itchy or be too smelly.

Oh yes yes you mentioned it some pages back lol I couldn't remember, but now you mention it I do XD I hope it works well for you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> no allergic reactions and makes you look awesum! ^^

On wipes, I love the Neutrogena makeup removing Hydrating ones ^^ They moisturize, smell great and remove all my makeup, except for mascara

I use the Ole Henriksen Truth wipes. Pretty gentle and smells fabulous.  I still use eye makeup remover separately though to remove my mascara (waterproof).

I got a pack of the Off your face ones for Christmas and I'd say they are pretty average as far as wipes go. Not horrible, but I figure that if I can get the same thing for $3 cheaper using the Yes to ones, I might as well just get those. And I totally like Soap and Glory products. Their Righteous body butter is a HG product for me.

I love them too. I will give the cucumber ones a try! I have a thing for grapefruit anything, like a serious thing. I have used the regular and moisturizing neutrogena wipes for what feels like years. I love them but sometimes I want to try something new.

I did try the cucumber and I preferred the blueberry ones. I did not like the acne mask, but the cucumber mask was "ok". The formulas seem to have conflicting ingredients and lots of additives that are known irritants. The wipes are one of the few I like.

me too! that's why I fell in love with JM bear naked face wipes and the nail wipes. Plus, I fell in love with fresh's hesprides perfume that smells just like grapefruit too! And love sweet love from philosophy has a nice grapefruit hint. Random, but I miss the pink grapefruit tic tacs. Those were amazing.

This is only my second box, so I'm still learning everything. So I really want to know what a "punishment box" is, lol. I have a clicky truck but no info yet. Thanks!

The term comes from receiving the 'worst' box of them all lol. Which is all relative anyway....usually the lowest value box or the box with mostly foil samples. Used to be the 'welcome box', or the introductory box of a gift subscription, in which they would toss in some less than great past samples instead of new stuff being sent out that particular month. Recently, though, the welcome boxes have been pretty good,,and I haven't seen many boxes in recent months that were all that bad. There is no telling when the 'punishment box' goes out...since it's not a real thing LOL.
