Forever 21 Rose Extract Makeup Cleansing Tissues - Review

Forever 21 Rose Extract Makeup Cleansing Tissues, $2.80 for 30 wipes

When it comes to makeup or skincare, one doesn't usually think of a store like Forever 21.  Usually, anything you find in a bin near a store's checkout line is not going to be of the best quality.  Often it is just low dollar filler stuff primed to make you buy just a little bit more before leaving the store with your bank account drained!

However, like the sucker I am, I always have to take a quick look while the shoppers in front of me ring up their purchases.  On a recent shopping trip to Forever 21, I noticed these babies near the till, and since the price was right, I figured at least I wouldn't be out too much if the product sucked.  And in the end, I was pleasantly surprised!

Today I'm reviewing an item from the brand that I love using for a good pamper!
