*tiny* Walmart haul

Hello, ladies and gents! Guess what day it is?? C'mon, C'mon, C'mon! HUMP DAY!

So, I have a lovely stye on my eye, so I can't really do any sort of make-up application. But! I went to my local Walmart a little while ago and I wanted to share my treasures with you guys.

Here are the two Walmart beauty brand, equate beauty, products:
 1. Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes
    The packaging states that these compare to Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. I would definitely agree with that. These really take off all of your makeup very easily. They are fairly cheap as well (more expensive online) and I think I got them for 3 bucks or so. There are 40 in my package, but I rip them in half, so there are 80 in a package for me! They do leave a very thin layer of moisture left over, so if you have SUPER oily skin, that may be a concern for you. Overall, I think this is a wonderful product, especially for the price.
2. Breakout Control Acne Cleanser
   This facial wash is said to compare to Clean &Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. I really did not like this product at all. This left a layer of product all over my face. I tried a couple different approaches to washing my face with this, but it just didn't seem to ever wash completely off, unless I used another face wash to get it off. Maybe that is what it meant by "Continuous Control", but I just don't want face wash sitting on my face all day. This product also made me break out, not terribly, but still. Isn't the point of a face wash to clear up acne, not create it? The only redeemable thing I found about this product was that it had a really nice cooling sensation, which makes the user feel like the product is really working.

The other face wash I got was the L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Anti-Breakout Facial Cleanser. I really like this product because I feel like it lives up to its name. I hardly ever break out when I am using this product on the daily bases. It also comes with a "Scrublet" which "controls breakouts and clears blackheads". I like the scrublet because I don't really want to wash my face with the hands that just touched shampoo, conditioner, and a now, dirty washcloth. The scrublet is a part of the packaging of the bottle, so you don't have to worry about it sitting on the shower ledge accumulating germs. This product is also a bit cheaper in the stores (I picked this up for $4.97).

Last, but not least, I picked up an NYC Color Wheels Mosaic Face Powder in the the color Rose Glow. I love the color that it gives off on my face, very natural. Unfortunately, this product seems to have a problem with staying together. By the time I got this one home it had already broken up and the one I had before this one did the same. Since it is a power its not a huge deal, but if you're not careful it can get EVERYWHERE. However, I love this product so much that I will look over this inconvenience.





















I hope you found some of this helpful and as always, feel free to leave any suggestions, opinions, etc. in the comments below.
