Living on the Cheap: Need to remove that make up?

Welcome to the first edition of Living on the Cheap!! In these weekly Monday editions I shall be writing about solutions I have found when money is extremely low and you can only survive on beans and noodles. But you don't have to let your beauty regime suffer! This is especially good for students, with whom I know money can be sparse sometimes and every penny counts!!


This first edition shall be about removing your make up, for no more than 99p!
Now, I often do not have much money as, at the moment, I do not have a job! So I have to try cheaper things to see how they react to my skin and see how well they work. It was one night, when I realised I had run out of Nivea wipes, to clean my make up off, when I turned to these to try and see if they worked. And like magic, my make up was removed and no reaction happen upon my face. Now some of you money savvy ladies might of already picked up on this wonder, and some of you may think WHAT THE DEVIL! But do TRUST ME. I have used these constantly and they work just as well as expensive wipes! The cost 99p for 80, can get in lightly fragranced or no fragrance and they are quite obviously for sensitive skin. Why do I say obviously? Because they are baby wipes. Yup, pure and simple, baby wipes, bought from Superdrugs.
These are the exact ones I use
Now if you are thinking, EHHHH?! Then hear me out. They are obviously for sensitive skin, they are BABY wipes, made for babies bums! So they won't dry out your skin or cause a rash (I have sensitive skin and haven't had a reaction ONCE to these!) and they DO remove make up easily, even my Este Lauder mascara! Even my Bobbi Brown Gel liner! And you get EIGHTY for 99p (or £1.01 on the website, see here), as opposed to 25 for £3, or however much the other ones are! I got them at my local Superdrugs, and have a packet at my dads and a packet at my mums. They are useful for cleaning of most things off your skin and are very handy to have about! The lightly fragranced ones smell very gentle and is quite a nice smell, but as I said, there are none fragranced ones to try!
Now I know some of you might turn your nose up at this and stick to your more expensive proper facial wipes as, we are humans and we do not like change. But I do implore you to just pop to your local Superdrugs, pop down a £1 and take home a packet of these as one night, they might save face!! ;D
Now if you are a foreign lovely (foreign to me that is) then try out your local drugstores own brand baby wipes! I really think everyone should give baby wipes a try as a cheap alternative to 'proper' facial wipes!



I will answer all the lovely comments you ladies have been leaving me tomorrow, I do love my followers, especially Ice Pandora, Hello Naka, a!ko and Harlow Darling <33

  1. Such a good idea, I love this new addition to your blog posts! Do you think you could do a post on cheap emergency anti-breakout products? I'm always having such BAD breakouts and find most anti-pimple solutions to be sooo expensive...or maybe a post on makeup that is good for covering up blemishes? Sorry I'm kind of begging here :P

  3. Oooo I am loving this series, can't wait to see more!! And I use baby wipes too! XD It is less expensive than my Simple makeup remover and it works! Although the Johnson&Johnson wipes irritates my eyes, sometimes I use a normal wet wipes from the drugstore ^__^ They work as well as makeup wipes. My sister said she uses Johnson baby oil to remove makeup altho I feel its too oily. I have never tried olive oil before but Kandee Johnson have a video on YT on it :D

    And thank you for the shout out!! <3<3

  5. i personally love simply using olive oil to remove makeup. it takes all of it away amazingly well and quickly, removing more in one swipe than a lot of actual makeup removers, is completely natural, and moisturizing. :)
