Not be gone! More like go, go, goooo

I was super lucky to win this on a instagram comp. I was screaming with excitement as my love for trilogy is HUGE. No mega huge! Then I got another in the BRBB

So this box arrived (surprised at the size and love the decoration) inside is the balm in a screw top jar that looks like it is made of glass. It's a plastic. There is also a tiny wee face cloth.

The product is hard like coconut oil. You scrap 1/2 a teaspoon into your hand, rub the hands together to turn it to a liquid and rub onto your face. I turn on the hot tap now to let the oil soak into the makeup. Run the cloth under the water and try to remove. I expected a rub rub, makeup be gone! Well nope! It was rub rub rub rub reapply rub rub rub and reach for another makeup remover! Now makeup be gone!

So now I have used the face cloth I throw it into the wash as I'm a 1 use wash girl.

My face feels ok. Not dried out. Now I have to wait for my washing to be done to get the cloth back again.

I try using it again with full makeup again. Again same results and I'm not happy or singing or excited. In fact I wanna bin it! Again I try but this time with bb cream on only and a normal face cloth. Well hello. Now I'm happy. It came off easier. I try again with full makeup but with a normal cloth again and it comes off alot easier.

So perseverance is key! If I was trilogy I would ditch the cloth, save a dollar to pass onto the customers. It is highly priced for not a huge wow kind of a product.

It is fine on my sensitive skin. Doesn't react and is gentle. I really like that. I also like using it then followed up with a nice bedtime moisturiser.

Tips: Ditch the trilogy cloth and use a normal face cloth

I've been tossing up whether to try this out because so far I've reacted to 3 Trilogy products. I'm a tad hesitant to try this out for that reason but now I don't feel as bad.

Love it

I received this in the latest BB and immediately thought hmmmm smells good but will it work? Yes it did! From the smooth texture once it's warmed in your palms to smearing it all over your face and neck, massaging it in the make did literally melt and was really easy to remove. Even my waterproof mascara and gel eyeliner came off with ease. The cloth that came with the cleanser, nice but I found it really hard to get it clean, even with using a soaking agent, oxygenated bleach, still traces of makeup. After using the cleanser my skin felt soft and smelt amazing, no breakouts either, I don't think I'll use my makeup wipes again! Thanks BR for an awesome BB!

Tips: Since getting the make up off the cloth was difficult I used a normal facecloth it was much easier to clean!

Awesome product

I received this in the BRBB and was so excited to try it. The packaging is very typical of Trilogy, very pretty and earthy looking. the actual product is solid, and has a nice natural smell, not too overpowering, which I like. It says on the actual container to use 1/4 tsp but I use a good finger full (probably a heap teaspoon). I found this worked better and took my make up off easier than using a 1/4 tsp. warmed the product between my hands and massaged into my skin focusing on my eyes, because i use waterproof mascara. I always do this just before my shower. Then in the shower, I wipe the product off with either the cloth that was provided or one of my own face clothes. This product took every bit of make up off my face and i didn't even have to go in after with a toner to get any residue off (normally i have to do this, maybe i need a better facewash). I absolutely love this product. My skin is super hydrated afterwards. the only off putting thing for me is the price. If the product came in a bigger container (for the same price), I would definitely be buying this as my only make up remover, but for now, this will be a treat only product. Other than that, it was an amazing product for me.

Tips: You can use any face cloth to get this product off - i found the face cloth it came with wasn't that great, and my makeup stained it a bit (even after being washed straight away).

Definitely use more than suggested Rezee. I found that little amount didn't cut it for me.

Wonderful Balm!

I was super excited that this Makeup Be Gone Cleansing Balm was included in the September Beauty Box.

It comes in a plastic jar with a little unbleached Organic Cotton Cloth. I love the packaging. The balm contains mango butter, coconut oil and rosehip oil, making the balm smell so natural and delicious. The texture of the balm is very similar to coconut oil, you have to scoop it out with a teaspoon or a little spatula.

I scoop ¼ teaspoon of the balm and rub it all over my face. I could feel it melting into my skin beautifully and dissolving my makeup. I then wet the cloth with warm water, and gently wipe the balm off along with the makeup.

When it comes to eye makeup like mascara and waterproof eyeliner, it needs a bit of work to remove them completely. I apply more balm and keep rubbing using the cloth. By the time I finish, I end up having a really dirty cloth.

Overall, I am quite amazed at how the balm can naturally dissolves makeup without leaving my skin feeling dry or stripping it. There is also no oily residues left on my skin after using it.

Although I find it does not remove eye makeup as much as I would like, the balm smells and feels amazing on my skin. My skin feel clean, hydrated not dry like some cleansers can do to my skin. Oil is the best makeup remover. I love the fact that the balm is made with natural ingredients that do not irritate my sensitive skin. However, for the price of the product, I would love if it come in a bigger jar.

Love at first sight

I think this is the product that I was most excited about receiving in my BRBB. I have tried the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm and it was amazing. So to have something from Trilogy in a similar type of product would have to be amazing!

This comes in a wee box with the jar and a wee organic cotton cloth. The cotton cloth is really soft. I have heaps of white facecloths I usually use though from Kmart ($6 for 5 I think). The jar itself is nice too. Thick brownish plastic with a black lid, seems secure enough which is great. The Trilogy packaging is lovely though. I just think it looks so classy.

So obviously this is a thick balm product. I usually keep these types of products on the windowsill in my bathroom and find that they can sometimes melt in warm weather. This smells really nice, somehow a mix between rosehip and coconut. I can't really smell the mango that is in it. It is incredibly thick so it does take a wee bit of force when digging your finger in. You only need a tiny bit to put all over your face and as it warms up with the heat of your skin it really melts over which is really nice. You do need to use the cloth or a facecloth and hot water to remove this as it is quite sticky otherwise (I advise using your own facecloth as the one they provide is far too soft). But I really don't mind because afterwards my skin feels fantastic and smooth and clean. It doesn't dry my skin out at all. This also managed to get rid of my waterproof mascara which is pretty impressive!

I know that this wee tub will last me a really long time but when it has run out I will definitely be off to the shops to buy myself a new one (I'm eyeing up the ones in the vault)! Great formulation and does everything for my skin that I want it to.

It's gone alright

When I saw this in the September BRBB I was so excited, I wanted it from the day I saw a photo of it on Instagram.

It came packaged beautifully in a nicely decorated box with an organic cotton face cloth that is oh so soft, I'm picky about face cloths and normally only buy and use baby ones

The jar is plastic frosted brown with a black screw top lid, And once that lid comes of I can smell a delicious scent of sweet coconut.

The product itself is quite hard and rather than digging round using my fingers to scoop some out I use a teaspoon because ewww germs! So I scoop almost a teaspoon out and start rubbing it over my face and feeling it turn from a solid chunk to a liquid oil, quite fun really. I then massage it over my face and hold my fingers with a bit of the oil on them Over the eye area to remove stubborn mascara.

I wet the facecloth with warm water and gently wipe away the day, I am amazed at how quickly this melts makeup away and leaves no trace of anything not even mascara, it even got rid of the Halloween makeup in one go.

After I'm finished and have patted my face dry my skin looks and feels soft and glowy, I have dry skin and this seems to be making it feel so much softer. Even on non makeup days I'm still using it just because it makes my skin feel superb!!

Mmmmm so devine

I was suoer excited to try this product when I got it out of my BRBB. I have never tried any of the Trilogy products so wondered if they were really as good as everyone says they are.

This sure was! The packaging is super gorgeous and luxurious. I like the container it comes in. Feels sturdy and able to with stand a few knocks in my beauty bag.

I was surprised at how hard it was very similar to coconut oil thats hardened. I scopped a small amount out into my fingers and rubbed all over my face. It melted away in my fingertips and it melted away my makeup too. I was a little nervous going near my eye makeup especially my eye liner but no need for the nerves it worked its magic and no sore eyes either.

I loved that Trilogy supplid a beautiful organic cotton cloth to wipe off the product. I use it in the shower and it all works just perfectly!

Tips: A teaspoon or little scoop to get the product out of the jar is a must. No transfering of germs or broken/dirty nails to get the product out.

My new favourite thing!

I loved this from the second I saw it - a very appealing colourful box although the pot itself is a bit plain. Then I have nothing bad to say about it. It smells nice, it's easy to use and it doses what it's meant to - mascara (even waterproof) just melts away! It has left my skin clear but not dry - even when washed off (even on the night I forgot to moisturise!). I don't think you need to use anywhere near as much as they say you need but that just means it will last longer! This is the only thing I will now use to take my make up off.

Tips: Don't use as much as they say you need - you can always add more if needed!

My new love!

This stuff is AMAZING!!

I was excited to give this a go when I noticed it in the recent BRBB, I have never used a trilogy product before but have heard so much about them.

First off it comes in a very pretty box which caught my eye from the very start, you open the box and pull out this pottle which is quite plain but that still doesn't take away from how amazing it is. In the box there is a little face cloth which is oh so soft and luscious it kind of rinds me of the soft little baby face cloths .

You unscrew the lid and the balm is realy solid, I scrape some away with my finger nail but you could also use a teaspoon which would work realy well. You don't need much at all, I probably use a thumb nail amount.

You rub it into your hands and it kind of melts instantly then when applyed to your face it sort of feels like your rubbing oil into your skin but your not left with that oily after feel. I was amazed by how my make up just disappeared, this has definatly got to be the easiest way to get rid of make up.

I'm also a little iffy with make up remover around my eyes (as they are quite sensitive and end up red and puffy sometimes) but I gave it a go and it didn't sting at all, infact I didn't even feel anything and my mascara just melted away.

Nice texture.

I was super excited when I learnt about this product. I love Trilogy and this cleansing balm seemed like the next logical step for them to add to their collection. Comes in a pot and is a similar texture to their Everything Balm. Awesome ingredients and a divine smell. This product cleans really well but I still have to double cleanse. I prefer to use it on the weekend when I don't wear make up. Super easy to use and leaves my sensitive skin feeling clean and soft. No tightness that you can get from other cleansers. And...I don't need to use a moisturiser after. Although to be honest I'm not sure that anything would be absorbed as a very thin film seems to stay on my skin. Kind of like when you have massaged your skin with oil. I would recommend this to people who don't need to moisturise at night and for people with sensitive skin.
