I'm starting to get a little desperate for a good facial wipe that cleanses, exfoliates, and removes my makeup without costing a fortune. I recently ran out of the ones I got from Target, and after a few days of not wearing makeup or sleeping with makeup on, my skin is starting to actually hate me. There's a blemish threatening to surface next to my nose and my right eye is on the verge of major irritation. I need help!
Perhaps my standards for a facial wipe are impossible to reach. I would like something that is strong enough to remove all my eye makeup without scrubbing or stinging, preferably unscented or a light scent of aloe, cucumber, or lavender. Any sort of leftover residue or burning sensations are absolutely unacceptable. As much as I love the Olivella wipes, they are incredibly expensive and my tight budget can't accommodate them.
I feel like I've already tried everything else out there, but I could be missing something. What facial cleansing wipe do you swear by? No judgements, I just want to find a product that will work for me too!

Warning :: EOS lip balm
I am honestly more than a little disappointed to be writing this post. I have loved EOS lip balm since before I even started using it. They have established such an amazing brand in a short period of time, and I admire the seamlessness of their marketing, graphic design, and public relations departments.
A Facebook friend shared yesterday that she thinks there might have been a formula change in EOS products. She had been an avid user for a long time, and developed a nasty rash when she started using a newly purchased Sweet Mint.
I did a little research online to see if I could find any other relevant conversations, and mostly turned up people describing their allergic reactions. Not very informative in this case, when a product has seemingly turned against you out of nowhere. But when I saw a pictures of these reactions, I realized that I had this same experience earlier this summer.
I thought I had skimped on the SPF in my balm, and ended up with sunburnt lips for a week. But I stopped using my EOS after that, simply out of convenience. I didn't have another problem all summer.
Stranger yet, I've had this same lip balm since October 2013 and never before experienced a negative reaction. My friends EOS was newly purchased and gave her this reaction right away.
I have so many questions... Do they expire faster than usual (and can therefore expire on the checkout shelves)? What is in this product that I am reacting to, when I have no other known allergies? Is it safe to purchase EOS again?
Have you been affected by this?
