Product Review: Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes

This month, I've put myself on a complete beauty spending ban (oh the joys of being a grown up and having to save money - groan!) except for the complete essentials. I'd ran out of makeup wipes (I know not the most hygenic way of removing makeup, but when you're tired and almost falling asleep whilst taking off your makeup, they are a saviour!) and remembered I had a Boots voucher for £5 off skincare (yay!).

I popped into Boots after work to grab some and thought I'd try these out, and can honestly say I'm positively impressed!

What they say: "Specially created for when you're short of time, these gentle, fragrance free wipes, sweep away impurities and remove all traces of makeup, even waterproof mascara."

"With Pro-vitamin B5 to moisturise and soften, plus extracts of witch hazel and fennel to clear pores and leave your skin feeling smooth and fresh."

The pros

• Resealable packaging - fab to keep the wipes moist, it's awful when wipes are dry and trying to take up your  makeup off with them feels like you might as well be rubbing your face with tissues, so this for me is a great feature.
• The size - something I've found with cheaper wipes such as supermarket own brands is they are tiny and often it can take me two or three wipes to clean my entire face (and I don't pile the makeup on!). These are a generous size and one is enough for me to remove the majority of my makeup!
• The scent - I don't think these are 100% fragrance free, to me these smell of moisturiser which is a bonus, they don't smell artificial or of household cleaning products!
• They work! They do indeed remove my mascara which isn't waterproof but I do like to build my mascara up (oh how I love my tiny eyes..!). I also love they contain witch hazel, it's one of my favourite things to use on my skin as I feel it really helps keep it clear.
• The aftermath - my skin is left feeling very soft and clean, there is no residue left and even the next morning my skin still feels refreshed and ready for my morning skin routine!

The cons

• The price - at £7 a pop, without the voucher these are quite expensive for face wipes and I think this is the only thing that would stop would me buying these outright.

You can find these in most Boots stores and online here.
