So I swung by Daiso this week, and resisted the temptation to buy everything. Daiso is really a treasure trove! Even if you have no intention to buy anything, it's pretty easy to get suckered into buying at least one item. Plus, it's so easy to justify to yourself because "It's only two dollars!". Well, it's just as easy to accumulate your purchases. Once, I saw a girl buying over S$100 worth of products. What could she have possibly bought?
Then again, if I had an unlimited amount of money to spend on Daiso, I'd probably be buying that many products myself.
Anyway, I found the display selling wet wipes, and I was amazed. Usually I buy mine from Watsons when they have a bundle on offer, and usuallythey're about S$4-5 for 30 pieces. But Daiso was selling 50-150 wet wipes for only S$2! The difference in amounts is because of the packaging that they come in, and the quality of wet wipes. There are large boxes with 150 pieces, and there are smaller boxes or just plastic wrappers with about 50 pieces. I bought a round purple tube with 70 pieces and a snap lid. How cute!
I generally only use wet wipes to clean my furniture or items. I don't use them for my face or hands, and I certainly don't use them for makeup. Here's a list and basic review of the wet wipes that I have tried so far:
Dettol wipes (10 pieces) - There was a point in time where I was obsessed about Dettol. After all, don't they have the best reputation for killing germs and keeping things clean? I had a Dettol hand soap, Dettol hand sanitizer and of course, Dettol wet wipes. But the one thing I couldn't stand was the smell. The medicinal scent is so strong and it lingers for a while. I definitely did not enjoy it. It was also the most expensive wet wipes, but at the same time they have the thickest material.
Watsons Wet Wipes (10 pieces per pack) - I'm always fond of getting the Watsons wet wipes when they're on offer because it's usually about S$5 for a bundle of 30 pieces. I always think that that's a good deal, because they're thick (not as thick as Dettol, but pretty close) and they have different varieties of scents. They even have unscented ones in case you don't like lavender or rose.
Miine Angry Birds wet tissues (10 pieces) - Miine very recently launched (get it? launched?) Angry Birds themed wet tissues with different birds on the cover. These colourful packets also have different scents like green tea and lavender, and unscented ones for those who prefer them. I got the green tea scent at S$4.50 for 30 pieces, although I think Watsons keeps changing the prices. And I thought that was a steal! The material is rayon fabric and I think they're about the same as the ones from Watsons, but I love the smell. The cute packaging is pretty great too.
So we come to the ones from Daiso. What is most important, is reading the instructions. Because I pulled out the first tissue from the outside instead of the middle, and wondered why it didn't keep coming out like ordinary boxed tissues. And even after that, I have a bit of trouble getting them out properly. They are much thinner than what I'm used to, so there's a danger in tearing part of the tissues. They are unscented, and as far as I know Daiso does not sell any scented wet wipes (I could be wrong). While they are thin, they do the job nicely. I will probably continue buying them, especially since they are so cheap and the tube is so interesting and unique.
You just gotta love Daiso!
