Hey lovelies!
Another skin care related review for you today! I went to Walgreens last night to pick up some cold medicine (I’ve been sick on and off for an entire month!) and of course, I had to stop in the makeup section… I grabbed another shade from the Revlon Matte balms, I’ll show you guys that in a post soon.. But while browsing, I saw a display of four different kinds of cleansing towelettes from a brand I have never seen or heard of and just had to get some. The CVS cleansing & makeup remover wipes are my favorite but I’m always on the lookout for more makeup wipes that I enjoy.
So, it appears this Studio 35 brand is only at Walgreens (you can also get it on drugstore.com). Interestingly enough, I can’t find much about this brand – not even a website… So no clue what that’s all about.
Anywho, here’s the packaging:
There were 3 other kinds with different claims, I grabbed this one because Bergamot is great for sensitive skin…
Ingredients:
Well, apparently green tea & bergamot is just the scent because they are not in the ingredients at all… Can we say false advertising?… The ingredient DMDM Hydantoin is a slight concern, it is an antimicrobial formaldehyde releaser… Basically it’s a preservative. This can irritate someone with very sensitive skin, or can cause some irritation with prolonged use. The rest of the ingredients are pretty basic, what you’ll find in most makeup wipes. There are hibiscus, daisy and honeysuckle extracts but they are last on the list so there’s no telling how much or how little is used.
On to the wipes themselves:
Both sides are the same, no roughness to them.
These are $4.99.
I think these are okay, they did remove my makeup fairly well but unfortunately, they irritated my eyes. Of course that’s the biggest thing when you are looking for good makeup remover wipes; you want ones that can be used to get off all that eyeshadow and mascara without it feeling like your eyes are on fire…
They aren’t the worst wipes I’ve ever used, but I’ve had better… Ya know what I mean? 🙂
So, I won’t be purchasing these again.. They did well at removing my makeup but I’m disappointed in the green tea & bergamot claim and because they irritated my eyes….
Back to my holy grail CVS wipes!

Thank you for reading! xoxo
Thanks for the review! I don’t think I have tried the CVS brand wipes yet but I may give them a try next time they are on sale. My favorite makeup removing wipes are Lumene (blue package). I think they are for sensitive skin, I am too lazy to look right now. lol. They have never bothered my eyes, don’t make my skin dry and they remove my makeup well. I got them at CVS last year around this time and stocked up but I only have one or two packages left so I will try the CVS store brand.
I don’t see them on sale often but they are definitely my favorite so far. I’ll have to try those ones! I absolutely hate ones that burn my eyes and these ones are just terrible for that 😦
I love that you look at the ingredients with your reviews! Thanks for posting, I’ve never heard of this brand.
Thank you! I had never heard of them too but I love trying ones that aren’t well known… This time it was a bad choice lol
