Review: Lumene Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes

Lumene Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes $7/ 25 per pack

I am maniacally fastidious about removing every stitch of makeup before bed.  Regardless of the hour or festivities that proceeded it, I cannot bear the thought of going to sleep with clogged pores, soldered lashes or without performing my nightly skin care rituals.

I tend to be a bit of a night owl, so when I crawled under the covers for warmth while watching some late night television, it never occurred to me I might fall asleep...but it happened.  I woke up around 2:30 horror struck by the fact that I was still in full maquillage. 

If I got up and did my usual routine, I might as well put up a pot of coffee and start my day.  Then I remembered I had received but never tried Lumene's Sensitve Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes.  Why had I not bothered to open them, despite my positive track record with other Lumene products ???  Because until now, I have never been impressed with how any cleansing cloths I have used in the past have cleansed.  Waterproof mascara??? Puh-leaze...

I padded around my goodie closet and pulled out my package of alcohol-free Lumene Sensitive Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes.  If a half slumber, I took at out two, and in a circular motion, removed my face makeup.  They have a lovely smell and I could quickly see that it was removing everything rapidly and completely.  Next on to my eyes.  I do love everthing about Benefit's They're Real Mascara except for the chore of removing it.  I was amazed to see every bit of mascara coming off in just a few wipes...

Essentially, what normally takes me a good 5-7 minutes was accomplished in less than 1.  I whisked on some La Peau nightcream and hopped right back into bed, mightily impressed.  Hands down, the best cleansing wipe on the market.

Last night I was curious to try this again, while not in a somnambulist state.  I was every bit as impressed, perhaps even more with how Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes performs.  I followed up with some toner just to see if there was any residual makeup and my cotton ball was still pristine.  Wowza!

Will I be ditching my usual routine in favor of using them everynight?  No.  But I know the perfect place to store them just in case I need them again. 22 of them now reside in my bed side night table and on a lazier night, I know just where to find them...
