These were terrible. There. I said it.
I had such high hopes for these Physicians Formula Organic Wear Facial Makeup Remover Towelettes, $10. They're 100% natural, and I'm a sucker for any natural beauty product. But the performance of these wipes was beyond sub par.
They were extremely dry, and I prefer I makeup wipe to have at least a little moisture, you know? But more offensive was the fact that it removed not a stitch of my makeup. It just pushed it around my face. Never have I ever had such an experience.
I was so disgruntled, I took these suckers back for a refund! There are more natural makeup removing products debuting from Physicians Formula, but I don't think I'll be trying those after this experience. Boo for that!

Beauty Review: Organic Wear Facial Makeup Remover Towelettes
Bocia Clear Complexion Kit & Willow Bark Breakout Treatment
I mentioned yesterday that I've been on the hunt for natural skin care, and I think I've found just what I've been looking for in Bosica.
Bosica skin care products are super-natural and preservative free. I've been using their Clear Complexion line for blemish-prone skin and I think I'm in love! Not only is this line super gentle, but it's also super-effective. The key ingredient is Willow Bark Extract, a natural version of Salicylic Acid.
The Clear Complexion Kit, $48 consists of a blemish fighting cleanser, toner, daily blemish serum and a mattifying moisturizer with SPF 15. My only beef is with the moisturizer, as I wish it was SPF 30. Its incredible under makeup though, so I guess I'll let it slide!
While the kit is really awesome, the real star of the line is the Willow Bark Breakout Treatment, $25. This stuff is the business! I got a lovely time-of-the-month pimple on my chin the other day. So, before bed I dabbed some of this on it and it had gone down overnight! Even better, it comes in a cute little to-go size!
Whether you're into natural skin care or not, give Boscia a try if you're in the market for an acne skin care line that won't irritate your skin!
Beauty Review: Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes
I'm on a natural kick lately and have been replacing my skin care products with natural alternatives. Instead of my usual Ponds wipes, I decided to try model Josie Maran's Bear Naked Wipes, $12.
The good thing is that these wipes are bio-degradable, so they don't sit in a trash heap for all eternity. The bad thing is that they don't work so well.
With the exception of eye makeup (these puppies don't stand a chance against eye makeup of any kind), these wipes appear to take off every last bit of makeup with the greatest of ease. Notice how I said they appear to take of makeup?
Well, one night I got the notion to use a little toner afterward, and was stunned at how much makeup was still on my face. I couldn't believe it! How these things manage to take off makeup while not taking off makeup is beyond me. All I know is I won't be buying these again! Next time I'll try Korres wipes before I return to my trusty Ponds. Oh well, at least a portion of the proceeds goes to save polar bears!
Got a fave makeup remover? Let us hear it!
