Review & Usage
Sephora Express Eye Makeup Remover Wipes are cornflower extract-infused wipes designed to effectively remove even the toughest eye makeup including long-wearing and waterproof formula. There are 10 double-format sachets per box. Each sealed wipe is meant to use for each eye although in my experience, depending on the amount of eye makeup you wear, one wipe may be sufficient for both eyes.
I find these wipes to be very convenient to use on the go. They are small enough to slip into your purse or even in your shirt/pant pocket. Individually wrapped format ensures that the wipes will not dry out over time and it also decreases the risk of contamination.
I usually hold the wipe over my eye for about 10 seconds to dissolve the makeup then gently wipe it downward. These wipes do remove my eye makeup including waterproof eyeliner and mascara but they are not as effective as the liquid bi-phase remover. I find that I have to go back and forth more than a few times to remove every trace of makeup. If you don't wear waterproof makeup, I think these will work just fine.
The wipes are a little on the “dry” side. They are only slightly moist and I feel that they would do their job much quicker and more effectively if they were a little bit more saturated with the remover.
They are very soothing to use, though, as they provide a slightly cooling and refreshing sensation upon contact with the skin. They do not leave any oily residue behind, nor do they irritate the delicate skin in any way, even if you have to wipe back and forth several times. I'm always left with a soothed, clean, and refreshing feeling afterwards! :)
The perforated cotton materials feel supremely soft on the skin yet strong enough that they don't rip easily. I also appreciate that they do not have strong fragrance scent (can't stand those!), just a neutral, typical clean scent. The price point is a little steep in my opinion but I suppose you're paying for convenience here. I wouldn't mind keeping one of these in my purse for emergencies!

Good to hear about these, would be great for travelling. I recently tried similar type of remover cloths but from eyeko, though they weren’t individually packed (was 10 cloths in one pack, kinda like those facial cleansing cloths). They worked really well if you like this type of product check them out!
I heard about them! :D Are they effective at removing waterproof eyeliner?
Yup they are! And very gentle and soothing too.
I think that would be a good idea for travelling or, like you said, to keep a few in your purse for emergencies. I always use waterproof mascara but I guess in special circumstances I could work with these!
Yeah, I think they will come in handy in case of emergency. I plan to bring a few packets with me on the airplane. :)
Great for on the plane, I guess.

Definitely. I’m planning to throw some of these in my carry-on bag!
I have some wipes from Trader Joes that are actually pretty good that I need to review but these look promising as well. I prefer wipes when I’m traveling or as a first cleanse if I’m wearing a ton of makeup!
I’d love to read the review, Erin! Are they good at removing waterproof eyeliner?
A very nice one for travel. I hate carrying the big bottles anyway.
These would be perfect for travel! :)
