M·A·C Makeup Wipes Review

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!


100 Sheets


US $26.00

Tip: Store your M·A·C Makeup Wipes upside down. It will keep the top sheet moist and ready for you to use.

Great packaging.


The seal is tight, wipes stay moist.


Pleasant scent.


Takes my makeup off with ease.


For heavy makeup, I do use my M·A·C Gently Off, but these wipes can do the job alone.


I have combination-oily sensitive skin. These don't break me out.


Leaves my skin feeling clean.


You can use these and then go straight to bed but I always wash my face before I sleep.


Great for travel and touch-ups.


$26.00 for 100 wipes. Think about it.


I love my M·A·C Makeup Wipes.


Yes, I will repurchase.





To my readers that asked about these M·A·C Makeup Wipes, I hope this review was helpful.




Happy Tuesday!

M·A·C Gently Off Eye and Lip Makeup Remover Review

Oil and water do mix, for twice the impact – just shake.


A dual-phase, easy-does-it formula that sweeps off even tenacious waterproof mascara and lip colour. Absolutely gentle; suitable for all.


Cucumber extract soothes, Damascus Rose flower water refreshes.


No need to rinse.


100 ml / 3.4 fl oz


US $18.00

I love this product!


MAC Gently Off is a good makeup remover. It's oily enough to remove any heavy eye makeup and intense lip color with ease.


I use this with my MAC wipes.


This eye and lip makeup remover works wonders. I can use my MAC wipes alone but with Gently Off, I don't need to put pressure on my eyes and scrub my lips.


I still suggest washing your face afterwards but if you can't, the oiliness fades especially when you use a wipe with it.


Packaging is great, the cap is secure. No spillage.


Product smells good.

I will definitely repurchase.




What do you use to take off heavy eye makeup and intense lip color?




Happy Monday!

Apple Pie

This past weekend I went apple picking with my mom and grandma. It was so nice to be outside with them doing something like that... 3 generations of women. After we picked the apples, we went back home so that I could make an apple pie. I tried something a little different with this apple pie. Instead of chopping the apples into little chunks or slicing them up, as some recipes have called for, I decided to experiment and mince the apple pieces. I added nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon juice, sugar, flour, corn syrup, and butter. It came out pretty good... next time I will add more sugar and less nutmeg.
