My Thoughts:  This was my first product from the Yes To (Insert fruit/veggie here) line.  I'd seen Yes To Carrots for what feels like years but never tried anything.  Then I started seeing Yes To Tomatoes, Yes To Cucumbers, and finally Yes To Blueberries.  Not sure what actually came about first, but that seems to be the order I saw them appear either in articles, store shelves, and other various places.  I got a travel pack of the blueberry face wipes in a monthly subscription box a while back, and the first time I used them I fell in total love with them! 

The cloth itself is super soft.  It's durable, but it isn't stiff or scratchy on my face.  It's like a tissue on crack.  It also doesn't fall apart or leave lint on my skin.

It smells so delicious, I almost want to take a bite of it.  It has apple and lemon peel, and those two ingredients give it a slightly sweet but fresh smell.  They also work to both brighten the skin and add hydration.  My skin for once doesn't feel totally stripped and dried out after using a makeup wipe!  Hooray!  There's also no residue left behind that I feel I need to wash to remove.

I've since purchased the face scrub, the serum, and the moisturizer in the blueberry formula and the night cream in the carrot formula and have been thrilled with the results the past two weeks.  My skin totally transformed from dry flaky patches around my nose to soft smooth skin with way less redness, even in a winter determined to make a hermit out of me.  I've actually been totally confident in walking around with no foundation on instead of just telling myself it's ok, because I'm too lazy to put it on. (Some days that extra 15 minutes of sleep is just too crucial to the safety of those around me.)  Traditionally in the winter, I've sworn by the REN skincare line, but this is a much more cost effective brand that still has the qualities I like: paraben free, cruelty free, natural ingredients, no heavy perfumes or artificial scents.


Final Verdict:  This is like a gateway drug.  I'm addicted to their products now.  But my wallet thanks me!

My Thoughts:   I keep these on my desk when I'm writing my reviews so that when I'm testing products on the back of my hand (whether it's a brand new product to cross my desk or I just want to refresh my memory with how it looks and feels on my skin while I'm writing) because they are a really inexpensive makeup cloth, and I can really use them up with impunity.  They do a great job getting all the makeup off my hand without leaving a residue or drying my skin out.

They don't have an overpowering scent like some wipes can, and they are soft yet fairly durable.  I wouldn't use them for removing waterproof eye makeup on my eye, because I just don't feel they are quite capable of removing it without a lot of rubbing.  But they are great to have on hand when I need them.  I especially love the price point, because I go through a looooooot of makeup remover wipes.

I love the packaging these come in.  They have a handy plastic flip top that allows me quick easy access without them drying out!  I hate when wipes come in a plastic sleeve with just a thin tab held in place by a sticker underside.  As soon as that gets wet or a bit of makeup on it, they loose their stick, and my makeup remover wipes end up all dried out.  Not cool when I go to pull out a wipe and wipe up with little more than a tissue.

Now because I can't be all "oh this is totally the most perfect thing ever" about any product and have to poke and prod until I find something that can be "complained" about (because let's face it- in this wide world web, you're always going to find some haters, so I might as well be preemptive and find their concerns to address up front), my "complaint" is this....they aren't very durable.  I'd prefer a bit more thickness to them so that it doesn't feel as if it's going to tear if I do need to scrub a bit to remove a particularly stay proof product.  It's fairly easy to combat this by laying the wipe across the area to start to dissolve the product on the surface of the skin for about 20 seconds before wiping.  Oh, and like all makeup remover wipes, make sure that you do wash your face with cleanser afterwards.  You need a deeper cleanse if you've worn a liquid or cream foundation to really remove every last trace from your pores before sleep.

Final Verdict: Totally worth a piddly $3.  So worth it in fact, you should probably grab a few... along with a ton of other amazing finds from e.l.f.  I mean makeup for $1?!
