Loved meeting celebrity makeup artist Lauren Napier! You need to try her luxury, facial cleansing wipes, CLEANSE by LAUREN NAPIER, that she launched exclusively at The Makeup Show NYC! They are sold in a box of 12 individual facial cleansing wipes. I always make sure I have a few of these wipes in my bag for on-the-go touch-ups. Definitely needed on those hot and humid summer days, especially in the city. They are gentle, lightweight and will remove all that stubborn makeup off your face. The facial cleansing wipes are made with water, aloe, camomilla and cucumber extracts to hydrate smooth and refresh your skin.
