Makeup Remover Wipes VS Makeup Cleansing Oil

Note: Information provided is based on my own experience and thoughts about these products.  Effects may be different for other people.

*my reviews

Overview:  My all time favorite is the MAC wipes.  It is easy to use, gentle enough for sensitive skin, and will clean all the makeup off your face!   Using makeup remover wipes are more simple and easy than using cleansing oil.  Cleaning oil often leaves oily residues on your face and make your skin feel sticky.  Also, cleaning oil can cause the eye to get blurry when trying to get rid of your eye makeup.  I have tried many different brands, but I'm only doing reviews on these 4 products because these are the most recent products I've used.   

#1: MAC wipes

Company Description:  
Swipes away makeup, smudges, dirt and grime, pronto! Oversized, luxurious, super-saturated with special M·A·C cleanser infused with protective vitamin E. Hydrates and nourishes highly efficiently. Extremely refreshing. Totally addictive. Slickly packed, re-sealable, ready to go!


 * I am absolutely in love with this product! I have super sensitive skin when it comes to makeup removing products (I'm allergic to the Lancome and Clinique eye makeup remover).  I started using this product early this month, thanks to my BF <3.  I love this product because it can remove my stubborn eye makeup (lash glue) and waterproof mascara easily without having to rub hard on my eyes.  I can clean my whole face with just one towelette (no Q-tips, cotton pads, etc).  I will continue using this product until I find a better one (I will share of course).  (:

#2: Kirkland Signature Pre-Moistened Daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes

Company Description:
 Quilted for deep cleansing.  Fresh and clean fragrance.  Alcohol and oil free, hypoallergenic, and for all skin types.  Pre-moisted towelettes with Camomile, triple tea complex, and vitamin E.


* This product does wonders for my mom and takes off all her makeup (she wears light makeup).  I decided to try it for myself, and did not like it.  It takes off my face makeup fine, but not my eye makeup.  Also, this product irritated my skin like crazy!  After using this for a month, my skin develop rough patches...not happy! But this did work for my mom, and my sensitive skin is to blame. 

#3: Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil (White Recovery Brightening Cleansing Oil)

Company Description: 
  The advanced gentle formula is fortified with Vitamin C Derivative OS, known for its brightening properties to deliver bight, smooth, translucent skin empowered with newly advanced HPO system which dramatically increases removability of waterproof mascara and long-lasting makeup. Impurities are perfectly removed for luminous clarity and soft supple skin with one-step cleansing.


* This used to be my favorite product.  I have used this cleaning oil for years and years. I've recently just stop using it because this product is no longer available for purchase in the United States.  You can still buy it online, but I don't want to do that (that's why I turned to MAC) lol.  This cleaning oil is gentle and does a pretty good job taking off my eye makeup, but it's still not good enough to take off my lash glue.  I love everything about this product except the lash glue part and that it leaves my eye blurry after using it.  I would recommend this cleansing oil to people that does not wear heavy eye makeup.  
#4: Biore Makeup Removing Perfect Oil
Company Description:
Face washing oil.  Penetrates deep into pores, and lifts excess oil and dirt from skin.
* This product is highly rated in Japanese and Chinese magazines.  After seeing it in magazines, I've decided to try it (this was the first cleansing oil product that I've used).  It has a nice fragrance and is gentle enough to use on my skin.  The only dislike is that it kind of burns my eyes after using it.  This can be bought at Japanese stores or supermarkets.  I still got one bottle left is any friends are willing to take it off my hand (:
