Say what you like about Primark and fast fashion (um, we have been known…) They’re certainly trying hard, on the beauty front, not least with the stance that they will no longer sell disposable, single-use cotton make-up remover pads,

Instead, they have introduced these: brilliant and truly effective, you use them in the same way to remove cream or milk cleansers and even eye make-up (although we prefer to dampen or wet them first; experiment to see what works best). They’re basically like e-cloths, magnetising dirt, make-up and gunk.

So, after use, throw them in the wash, dry and you’re good to go, all over again. (Best to tuck them inside the kind of bag you’d wash lingerie in, or they go the way of odd socks, though.)

And just look at that rainbow of shades!

Pretty – and pretty useful. Bravo, Primark! (Now, about those cheap t-shirts…)
