Lidl’s brand for beauty products is Cien. I usually get a pack of cotton buds in Poundland but this is much cheaper and Lidl’s other products seem to be doing good so worth a try.

The stick to these cotton buds break easily. They bend almost every time I use them. The cotton wool part comes apart easily too, not as easily as the stick but still, a bit of a hassle that I could do without.

It’s a shame this product isn’t that great, I was really hoping it would do better but alas, I must give a honest review!

I’ll stick to going to Poundland for my usual stock!

• Feel: 4/10 Not comfortable.
• Price: 7/10 (35p for 200 sticks)
• Packaging: 9/10 A bother to open at first, if you aren’t holding it’s base, when you first open the lid, the entire box will fall to the floor due to the sticker making it topple on the other side. I just leave it open on my stand now.
