Review: MAC vs. Kirkland Cleansing Towelettes (BOAB)

[Kasya3]

I totally love your BOAB videos! I haven't been using face wipes, because they can get expensive if you use them every day and night.. but now I can get them from Costco! Thanks for the video :] I'm excited for my next Costco trip lol

[kittengirl25]

Cool! I go to costco a lot and never looked for these. I'll check it out. This is good timing because I needed some new wipes. Thanks for the taking the time to make a detailed review. It really helped me.

[LetsMakeUp21]

I only use make up wipes for travel (which i do alot of tbf) and if im too lazy, usually i use my neutragina oil free one (:

FYI for all though ; if you buy the tea tree make up wipes (superdrug/boots) PLEASE dont use is when ur tired, as you may be inclined to use it to remove your eye makeup INCLUDING waterline -

IT FREEKING HURTS PEOPLE!!!! ;\

so yeah.... Dont be an idiot like me :D

[Cilucia]

Thanks for showing the Costco packaging, I should have expected it to come in a huge box, but I didn't know about the mini sized packages inside :) Thanks!

[anonamemiss]

Great info!! Very helpful. Do you whiten your teeth?

[clkw2009]

very informative and helpful! thanks!!

[gingersnaps52]

Great review. Went into in depth detail. Will try them out and also will try out the baby wipes that one of your viewers suggested......

Enjoy reviews like this where you do a side by side comparison.

[julieg1985]

i just use baby wipes (vitamin E and fragerence free) and they work just the same at a fraction of the cost. the wipes are bigger so for heavy dutty makeup days, you still only use 1 :)

[gladitsnotme]

Yeah, I use Walmart brand "Equate". MAC is ludicrous and so are the poor girls who buy into their hype. Most of their products are able to be purchased at a lower price point somewhere else. You're essentially just paying for the name "MAC". Great review, sorry for the rant, lol.

[etoiles1021]

great review!

[mdmlee]

MAC's are really powerful! My girl dirtied her hand with some sticky black grease and these were able to remove the grease! O_O

I don't really agree that MAC's are gentle. Skin around my eyes does sting a little... MAC's cleansing oil is pretty good too. ;-)

this was so helpful!!! ty so much =]

[ericaleung13]

Aww you're so sweet! Ya I've been gone for a little while because a) my camera had some issues, and b) work has been crazy lately!! :( But I'm so glad to be back.

HAHAHA I was worried I might confuse some people by rattling off all those numbers...but I guess that's largely what my BOAB series is about, so I'm SO glad I could appeal to your inner nerd!! :D

[ericaleung13]

This item can be found in the beauty section where they sell seasonal makeup packages/kits. It's near the medicine or the toiletries area :)

[xomloveyo]

dang, thats amazing.

[ericaleung13]

Hahaha I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Thanks for watching!

[TheJamieCook]

[ericaleung13]

[rawr81itssarah]

awesome thanks! i go to costco and i didnt know about the kirkland wipes, so thanks!! =]]

[ericaleung13]

Yaaa if you're interested, definitely check them out next time you go. I think it's a great product! :)

[PrinceGardo]

COSTCO HERE I AM. :D

[ericaleung13]

I <3 Costco!!! :D

[graceyoooo]

Hey! Thanks for the review. I was just wondering, is the MAC scent good or bad? O_O

[ericaleung13]

Hmmm....I don't think it's good or bad?? It's just kind of a generic perfumey, soapy smell. It's not that strong though and it doesn't stay on your skin (assuming you wash your face after using one of these). I hope this helps!

[graceyoooo]

Ohhh alrite. Thank you so much for replying haha :)

[kathreena27]

wat does BOAB mean?

[ladykaede21]

Ballin on a Budget ;) Great video Miss Erica! I also recommend the Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes as well, its about $5 for 25 sheets[Depends on location and retail store]

[ericaleung13]

Great tip!!! Thanks so much...I'm gonna have to check that out :D

[juujuuandtangguo]

which costco did you go to because i cant find :(

[ericaleung13]

I bought this item in a Costco in Canada (Burnaby, BC). They can be a tad tricky to find though, since I had to walk around a bit even though I knew exactly what I was looking for. They're in the toiletries section near the beauty items and supplies. Good luck!

[MsUnbreakable7]

Thanks for the review!! *smiles*

[ericaleung13]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[teena139]

OR you can just buy equate facial cleansing towelettes from walmart.

2 packs of 60 sheets for about 4 dollars.

They all work the same no need to spend 20 or even 14 bucks for facial wipes

[ericaleung13]

Thanks for the great tip!! Someone else also mentioned the Equate facial cleansing cloths...I'm definitely going to try them out and do a follow-up review.

Some wipes are gentler around the eye area...so that's mainly what I'm looking for in these wipes. That and of course the ability to take off all my makeup :)

[rayosdelsol1]

thanks for sharing. i love the quality of your new camera

[ericaleung13]

Thanks for watching!! I kind of feel like the widescreen is a tad excessive maybe...since most of my videos are just me talking to the camera, it adds needless background on the sides of my head?? Haha..I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not :)

[bebexo]

beauty on a budget :) great review erica! sometimes on my lazy days i use equate facial wipes from walmart. I believe there are 60 sheets for $5 or something! SO CHEAP! works amazingly well but does sting my eyes a bit :(

[ericaleung13]

Thanks for helping me answer the question! :) GREAT tip about the Equate facial wipes...I'm definitely gonna check them out and try to do a follow-up review to this one :D

[happylisa7]

thanks for the explanation. :)

[ZzZzZ00ify]

I do feel like the MAC wipes irritate my face and cause swelling for my eyes (I have super sensitive skin). Do you find that the Kirkland brand is more gentle?

[ericaleung13]

If I had to choose one to be gentler, I would choose the MAC one. So if the MAC wipes irritate your eyes, the Kirkland ones probably will too :( Maybe makeup wipes aren't for you...have you tried other makeup removers specifically for sensitive eyes?

[candyshop24rjj]

is someone playing music in the background? i just heard something lol if u know what i'm talking about

[ericaleung13]

Haha ya I was hoping if I closed my door the camera wouldn't pick up on it...but it's my mom playing a Chinese instrument called the "yi wu" :P

[tsubaith]
