Cotton wool is something I always have in the house and use it everyday with my cleanser and make up remover. Generally I prefer cotton wool rolls rather than pleats or balls as I personally think they are better value for money but when I last went shopping my local Tesco didn't have any cotton wool rolls on the shelf so I picked up a bag of cotton wool balls.  Tesco Cotton Wool Balls are sold in a clear plastic bag allowing you to see the white cotton balls inside, I'm not sure if Tesco do these in the coloured cotton wool balls or not but when I bought mine there was only the plain white ones.   The front of the bag has a pink square on it ...  Read the complete review

My son has had a couple of styes in the past but recently he developed another one and we know that when one occurs it is best to apply a warm compress to the area. So to reduce the risk of cross contamination by using flannels I asked my mum to pick me up some cotton wool balls which we would be able to use for this. She returned with a pack of 100 Tesco cotton wool balls. The cotton wool balls come in a plastic bag which is quite simple looking and just has a pale blue rectangle on the front which features the product name and the Tesco name as well. What I like about the bag though is that it features a draw string style top so I can seal up the cotton ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who reads my reviews regularly will know that I do most of shopping at Tesco. I buy all sorts of stuff from there, not just food. I also buy a lot of household and toiletry products and one of the beauty products I often buy are Tesco's own brand of little cotton wool balls. I buy these every couple of months, as I tend to go through quite a lot of cotton wool in my house. I use them for removing eye make up, applying TCP them for to cuts, grazes and spots, cleaning my fingernails of nail varnish, applying facial toner and cleanser ... the list goes on and on. These little cotton wool balls come in a pack of 100 and they cost £1.30. The ...  Read the complete review

I know you may not expect a guy to use cotton wool balls, I certainly never used them untill recently. I found a very good facial cleanser for spots and it said I needed some cotton wool to apply the lotion. I was not sure what to buy, but I decided to pick up whatever I found at tesco! I saw these for only £1 for 100 which I have found out to be a very good price. I have found these to be very good and I will now go into a bit more detail on the product. Price and packaging: 100 cotton wool balls for only £1 is good value as it works out as 1p each. The packaging is also very good, it is a plastic see through bag that is re sealable. This is handy ...  Read the complete review

WHAT ARE THEY? Cotton wool balls from Tesco   WHAT DO YOU USE THEM FOR? A lot of people use these cotton wool balls for removing their make up or nail varnish and they are very good for this but quite a lot smaller than other cotton wool balls so I prefer using cotton wool pads instead.  I buy these for using to change my 6 month old daughters nappy because she has got sensitive skin so I use cotton wool and water to clean her instead of baby wipes.  I use these also when my daughter has earache because the balls are small so  I only have to pull one in half instead of lots of pieces like when I use the bigger ones. WHAT I ...  Read the complete review
