Made of two layers of natural organic cotton flannel
Great for applying and removing makeup, toner, etc
Can be used regularly in place of single-use cotton pads
Packaged in an organic cotton bag with a twine tie in response to customer demand
Bag can be used as laundry bag for pads
Pack of 10 is £7.99. P&P is only £0.50 when you order just one pack.
Or buy two packs for only £14.99 instead of £15.98. (P&P is still only 50p).
This is now my second order of the 10-pack reusable cosmetics pads, I think they're great! I used to get through about 2-3 disposable cotton pads a day & didn't really think how much this was contributing to the ever growing amount of rubbish in the UK until I found these reusable ones! The reusable pads are just as soft as disposable ones, easy to wash and will be saving me money in the long run as reusing instead of having to buy new all the time! Definitely recommended! Cheers!
Siew-Peng's number crunching: Make up for lost time/money
I do not personally use make-up, so please read the following with a large pinch of salt when it comes to the estimates.
Organic cotton wool pads and balls (the disposable kind) are about £1.99 for a pack of 100. Assuming that one needs three (or 4) a day, one goes through one pack of 100 disposables in 33 (or 25) days. In 365 days, one goes through 1,095 (or 1,460) pads. This would be equivalent to 10.95 (or 14.6) packs of 100 disposables.
At £1.99 each, 10.95 (or 14.6) packs are £21.79 (or £29.05) a year. That's £43.58 (or £58.10) in two years. Or £65.37 (or £87.15) in three.
The reusable Cosmetic Squares on this site are £15.49 (two packs of ten, including P&P). I think we can safely call this a great saving.
Time to make the switch? Or help someone make the switch?
