LastSwab Reusable Cotton Buds for Ears by LastObject - Environmentally Friendly Q Tips - Designed in Denmark - Easy to Clean - Zero Waste Cotton Swabs - Eco Friendly Products

First impression, nice sleek container that feels robust. On first inspection and use I wasn't Initially convinced as the tips are a soft silicone so not absorbent and had to wash the end before I could use in other ear (even though you shouldn't put them in your ears) BUT then had genius idea to use with a square of loo roll over end. GAME CHANGER! Now you can happily get moisture out of ear after shower, wipe makeup away etc etc just with one small square of loo roll and keeps the bud clean as just move to fresh bit of tissue. This makes it as effective as regular cotton buds so now only one small square of loo roll is wasted on each use but don't end up with 100s of dirty cotton buds everywhere! Excellent. Will get a couple more to chuck in travel bags.

...But that something isn't what I needed it for. This was purchased for makeup use, and despite its advertising as a makeup aid, it does nothing more than what smudging a spatula would on your face. The three stars is because the case is handy, and the presentation is premium, and *sometimes* it smudges my makeup the right way- but if you're hoping to fix eyeshadow fallout with it, this is just going to sit in your drawer.

Bought for a gift and he thought it was unusual. May buy another

Feels durable and sturdy. Easy to clean. The ends were not as soft as I expected but I like that.
