Oh, Leaders...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
Ever since I tried my first mask from Leaders, I fell hard. They've quickly become one of my favorite mask brands.
But did you know that Leaders makes more than masks? They have a variety of skin care products from creams to ampoules.
Recently,
they released a new line called Labotica that includes masks (of
course) and cleansers. Leaders presented the opportunity to try
some of their new products so I jumped at the chance!
I tried 2 items: the Argan Oil Cleansing Wipes and the Lip and Eye Remover Pads.
Labotica Lip and Eye Remover Pads
Product Description:
The
Green Tea Lip and Eye Point Remover wipes away stubborn makeup in the
most sensitive areas of the face. The gentle yet powerful formula
removes makeup without the need for excessive wiping, which may tug and
irritate the skin.
Treats:
Dead skin cells
Sensitive skin
Waterproof makeup
Effectiveness:
Removes stubborn makeup around lips and eyes
Moisturizes skin with plant extracts
Deep cleans without irritating skin
Directions:
-Place the wipe over the lips and eyes for 5 minutes then wipe off gently. Repeat for 2-3 times. Then, wash off with warm water.
Ingredients:
Water,
Mineral Oil, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate,
Polysorbate 80, Glycerin, Tripropylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf

Eucalyptus, Globulus Leaf Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,

(Lavender) Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus,
Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Pelargonium
Graveolens Flower Oil.
These circular wipes are soaked in solution and are citrus-scented. I'm not sure why this product says to hold on the lip and eye area for 5 minutes. I found 20-30 seconds to be sufficient. Here's how it worked on a few types of products:
top to bottom: Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour, Memebox I'm Stick Shadow, Marc Jacobs Highliner, Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint
I let these set for 15 minutes, pressed the pad to half of the area for 20 seconds, then swiped. Here's the results:
It removed them all in one swipe! Great results!
Labotica Argan Oil Cleansing Wipes

dead skin cells while cleansing and nourishing the skin.

I like that these wipes have a hard plastic closure. I hate when I go to use my wipes and, because the sticker wasn't on quite well enough, they are all dried out! Thankfully, I won't have that problem with these! These wipes have a clean scent that I didn't at all find overpowering. Each side has a different texture: one side has little raised bumps for exfoliation, the other is smooth.
Here's how they performed:
Top to bottom: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, Wet N Wild Mega Glow Illuminator, LA Girl Pro Conceal, NYX Ombre Blush, Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation
Again, I let set for 15 minutes and swiped half of it. It easily removed all of my face makeup!
To see how this worked on eye and lip makeup, I swiped the other half of those items:
It completely removed the lip paint and almost removed the mascara. After more swiping, it removed everything but the eyeliner.
I've
been using these for removing my makeup and sunscreen for about 2 weeks and I'm
hooked! I really loved both of them. They're perfect for a lazy day
double cleanse! (Of course, you follow these up with a foaming or cream
cleanser.)
They're now available at Ulta and the Leaders USA website!
