Kara Makeup Removal Wipes Review Seaweed and Lavender

Not a pretty picture to start with but I thought why not just clean the lid a little of my Kara Makeup Removal Wipes before taking pictures. I poured a drop of Hand Sanitizer, wiped it and the print was off! That was the story behind The Fading of Kara Print. Anyways! Hello Everyone. Hope you are doing well. Welcome back to another review post and in today’s post, I am going to share my experience with Kara Makeup Remover Wipes. 

If you are following my blog, you must have read My Experience with Garnier Micellar water (Oil-Infused) and I mentioned, that I am also using Kara Makeup Remover Wet Wipes as an alternative to micellar water because Garnier Micellar contains PHMB (Polyaminopropyl Biguanide) which is dangerous to the skin. So, here I am with an In-Depth Review/My Experience with Kara Seaweed and Lavender, Makeup Removal Skincare Wipes. 😊

Review – Kara Makeup Removal Wipes

My Skin Type: Normal to Combination, Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin

Packaging: The 30 Wipes pack comes with a default wet wipes kind of packaging. The only difference between the 30 Wipes and 10 Wipes variants is I guess the lid only. The 30 Wipes variant is having a plastic flip-top kind of secure lid while the 10 Wipes variant one is having that open-and-close wet wipe kind of closing if it makes sense. The great part, all the information is on the pack and is travel-friendly and mess-free.

Fragrance: It has a very beautiful, fresh, refreshing, spa bath products kind of fragrance that feels really nice on the senses. 

My Experience with Kara Makeup Removal Wipes

1. Alcohol-Free but contains Parabens

As mentioned above, I bought these wet wipes as an alternative to Garnier Micellar Water because it contains PHMB(Polyaminopropyl Biguanide or polyhexamethylene biguanide) which is cancerous. I loved that micellar water but sadly, I don’t want to buy it again due to that Ingredient. If by any chance, I will spot Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar Water without that PHMB, I will grab it. 😃 But, I don’t know where my mind was, I realized when I was home that it contains parabens! What? I was so impressed by the Alcohol-Free? Maybe! 😃

2. Took off the Entire Makeup Totally

Wet Wipes or Facial Wipes don’t do much I feel in terms of cleansing but because these were makeup remover wipes, I expected a good job and yes, they did. They definitely performed great in terms of taking off the makeup. I was wearing a good amount of makeup and even good eye makeup and this wipe took that all. From my primer to the foundation to concealer, powder, eye makeup, and everything. It was on this wet wipe. That too without leaving any sticky or oily residue behind. I was impressed. 

But don’t forget to wash your face afterward with a good deep face cleanser because sometimes, depending on the amount of makeup, type of product, makeup remover, or wipe isn’t able to take off all the traces of your makeup. So, to make sure there is no trace of makeup left behind, never miss your face wash.

3. Not Effective on Waterproof Mascara and on Matte Liquid Lipstick

Next, It was time to test it out on the Waterproof Mascara, and on liquid lipstick and I was expecting it, It couldn’t do much on the waterproof mascara or on the matte liquid lipstick. Even Micellar couldn’t do it in one go. I had to take my bi-phased makeup remover to take that waterproof mascara or long lipstick off.

I was really enjoying removing these makeup removing wipes from kara because it replaces multiple cotton pads and you can just sit and wipe your makeup with just one facial wipe.

4. No Skin Irritation or Breakout Caused

The good part? It caused no skin irritation. I have sensitive and acne-prone skin and I feel good when a product doesn’t break me out. It doesn’t exaggerate my existing pimple or any rash. It was all good.

5. Neither adds nourishment Nor makes skin Dry

Coming to the nourishing claim, I feel like this doesn’t add up to much moisturization or nourishment but at the same time doesn’t rip off the skin moisture or make the skin dry. It was all normal.

6. The last Few Wipes in the Packet get Dry

Most facial wipes get dry if kept unused for a long time. But with this, I noticed the last few wipes in the packet were dry and less or not at all effective even after putting the wipes to frequent use. I have no idea why the liquid part of these wipes evaporated when the wipes were about to get over.

7. Need to rinse/wash your face after Kara Makeup Removal Wipe?

Well, you won’t feel the need for rinsing off because it doesn’t leave any residue but I will never say to skip your face wash. There are always some makeup traces left which we can not see and the makeup remover isn’t able to remove. That’s why, always go for a face wash as it will double cleanse, and will deep cleanse your skin.

Kara Makeup Removal Wipes Swatch Test

Here is a pretty picture of my hand having lots of makeup swatches. I swatched Liquid Liner and Lipsticks, Coloured Eye Pens, Cream Contour, Highlighters, and Eyeshadows. Here is a tiny Video of Me using Kara Makeup Removing Wipes.

How it worked in Comparison with Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar water?

If Garnier Micellar removed 98% of the makeup, Kara Makeup Removal Wipe removed 95% of it. Because Garnier one was oil-infused, it worked better in melting and taking off the makeup slightly more than the Kara Makeup Remover Wipe. I could have easily picked up Kara Wipe over Garnier one if it was paraben-free. But sadly, I can not buy any of these again because Kara Wipe contains Parabens while the Garnier Micellar contains PHMB.

Summing Up

Kara Makeup Removal Wipes does a great job of taking off the makeup without leaving any oily or sticky residue behind. It is alcohol-free and It takes off the Eye, Lip, and Face Makeup totally without being too rough on the skin. But it couldn’t take off waterproof mascara or a long-lasting matte liquid lipstick. It neither adds any nourishment nor makes skin dry. Smells Refreshing and Performed well on my Sensitive and Acne-Prone skin. The sad part, it does contain parabens and the last few facial wipes in the packet tend to get dry and are less effective.
