Why I love it:
I was looking for cleansing wipes for the summer because I hate washing my face at night (though I do EVERY NIGHT), and a friend/former Sephora employee turned me on to these wipes. I've been using them for a few weeks now, and it was love at first use! Not only does it do the job, but the fragrance is INTOXICATING! I'm not kidding! They smell amazing! When I take a shower in the morning I can still smell it on my skin. Love em! ($15 for 30 wipes)
