little white truths

It's funny, last month I had no face wipes left in the bathroom cabinet - and now I have these two plus three other packs (only one of which I bought myself)! Isn't that always the way? Still, these will never go astray and it's always nice to try out a new brand. I'd never heard of these guys before and the packaging is rather funky. Apparently they're textured on one side (to remove dirt/makeup more easily) and smooth on the other for 'a perfect finish'. Happy to give these a go.

UPDATE: Full review here. I've now used these and LOVE them. They've gone straight to the top of my face wipes list. The textured side is genius and these clean better than any other wipe I've used, plus they leave my face feeling exfoliated and toned. Gold!

Bioderma Crealine H20 (RRP $29.99 for 250ml; received 20ml sample)

Ach, this is the fourth sample I've received of this product in the past year from subscription boxes. Guys, it's been done! Having said this, I know many would be happy to see it - it's a cult item that a lot of people rave about. I've never been wowed by it myself. It's a gentle daily cleansing and makeup removing water for face and eyes. It is indeed gentle, but it's not for me - it doesn't feel like it does much. Still, I will use it.

UPDATE: Well, I've used this product a number of times. So many rave about it but I don't like it - I think it's too gentle for me and it really doesn't clean that well (particularly when it comes to eye makeup). I really hope I don't receive it for a fifth time (!).

Marsk Eyeshadow Brush (RRP $28.95; received full size)

I love receiving makeup brushes - reckon you can never have too many of them. It's a very light brush, which I don't like - I'd prefer there to be some weight to it. Kind of makes it feel cheap, even though it's probably not. According to the product card, its bristles have been precisely shaped/designed to create the perfect eye look. I'll let you know how I go with it once I've used it.

UPDATE: Honestly? Rubbish. I don't know how Marsk can say it's 'designed to create the perfect eye look'. It's not small enough to do the lid area nicely (so you can't get a good angle and end up with product spreading too high on your eye); it's not a good crease brush and it's not even good for the brow-bone area (puffier brushes work better for that - this one's way too flat). It also feels cheap and tacky. Avoid.
