Specifications
I recently picked up these cotton pads in a pack with the matching cotton swabs from the same brand, and I have to say, the price was a steal - 160 rubles for a pack of 80 pads. The value for money is excellent, especially considering the quality of the product.
Holly Polly Cotton Pads Cosmetic Pink are a great choice for gentle skin care. Thanks to the high-quality organic cotton, these pads are hypoallergenic, making them suitable even for the most sensitive skin. They're a good option for those who are looking for a gentle and effective way to remove makeup or apply toners.
The packaging is one of the things that I love about this brand - it's bright, eye-catching, and puts a smile on your face. While the packs might not be the most elegant addition to your bathroom counter, they're definitely a mood booster. In this case, the packaging features a cheerful green hue. The cotton swabs came in a yellow tube, so the overall effect is quite fun.
The pack contains 80 cotton pads, and I have to say, the name 'pads' is a bit misleading - they're actually more like rectangular pads. They're not as thin as traditional cotton pads, but they're still soft and gentle on the skin.
Each pack comes with an expiration date and a QR code, which is a nice touch. My pads are pink, and I'm not sure if there are other color options available.
The pads are neatly stacked, and they're easy to store. They're a bit more substantial than your average cotton pads, with some areas that seem to be glued in place. This doesn't affect their performance, though - they still work great.
These pads are great at holding liquid products, such as toners and essences. You can use them in a few different ways:
1. To remove eye makeup, simply soak a pad in micellar water and apply it to your eyes for a bit. When the makeup starts to dissolve, remove it with a gentle wipe. It's a comfortable process, but I wouldn't recommend rubbing your eyes too hard with these pads - they tend to fall apart.
This is a gentle example, but imagine trying to remove heavy makeup with these pads - you'll end up with bits of cotton all over your face.
2. The pads are substantial enough to hold moisture, making them great for creating mini-masks or patches. They're perfect for applying liquid toners, like Artifakt.
3. You can also use them as a mini-patch for problem areas - simply soak a pad in a serum, essence, or toner and apply it to the affected area. It's like a mini-mask.
THE VERDICT: These pads are soft, comfortable to hold, fragrance-free, and won't irritate your skin. However, they do tend to fall apart when used aggressively, so be gentle. For 160-200 rubles, you can get a decent pack, but I wouldn't recommend paying more. On the other hand, the unique shape and color make them a great addition to your skincare routine, and they won't leave behind any annoying cotton fibers - a big plus for sensitive skin.
