Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm Review

I'm in love with this product!

I received this gorgeous cleansing balm as part of the September Beauty Box. (Second favourite product only to my nude lipstick).

The cotton cloth is a little smaller than a regular sized face cloth and very soft.

The pottle of cleansing balm is dark and almost black. The balm is a very pale yellow/ off-white colour. It is thick and oily to the touch. When applied the balm feels both moisturising and oily. The balm smells pleasantly of rosehip.

I only need a small amount of product to get my make up off (about the size of a $1 coin). After applying the balm and massaging it over my face I then wet the cotton cloth with warm to hot water and wipe off all residue.

My skin is visibly clean after every use with no remnants of make up and feels soft and nourished.

The RRP is pretty high but for what the product is I would definitely consider purchasing another pottle once mine has run out.

I was lucky enough to get this in the September Beauty Box. I was super excited to try as I love Trilogy. The Balm feels like silk going on and has your usual beautiful scent I have come to expect from Trilogy. I was really surprised how easily all my make up came of with absolutely no effort at all. The addition of the organic cotton cloth just ads to the awesomeness of this balm. My face feels so nice after using it almost like I could skip the moisturizer.

I have to admit, I was skeptical. I have struggled for so long to find a make up remover that would 1) actually remove everything, and 2) not irritate my sensitive skin. Who would have thought I'd find the answer in the BRBB!

The cleansing balm is a revolution. If feels (and smells) amazing going on, and I have had absolutely no irritation - even around my eyes. It removes EVERYTHING and even though it looks terribly oily, once you wipe it off (with the deliciously soft cloth from Trilogy), my face feels soft, clean, and just moisturised enough.

So far I am pleased with how long it is lasting as well. You really don't need much each time, and as someone who wears make up most days, it still has plenty of life left in it.

At first I was concerned with the price (seems high for a make up remover) but now that I know I'll likely only need 2-3 a year, I can easily justify it.

This cleansing balm has officially replaced my MAC cleanse off oil! Yes, it seriously is that good! I scoop out a pea sized amount and massage it into my hands first then I massage it into my skin. It feels so luxurious. It melts into my skin beautifully and breaks down all of my makeup (even my mascara) and melts it away with ease! The cute little flannel it comes with (I've since lost mine though) wipes away the balm and the makeup so easily and it's not at all harsh on the skin. A few gentle wipes here and there and you're left with beautiful clear skin. The thing I love most about this balm is after rinsing my face after I've removed/wiped away all my makeup, my skin doesn't feel even the slightest bit dry. It actually feels like it's not long been moisturised and it feels super soft. I absolutely love it!!

I love this cleansing balm! I was sceptical at first but I used it once and it amazing! All my make up that's normally really hard to remove was remove and it didn't leave my face dry and tight like other make up removers do. And the cloth that comes with it is some handy to have. It means you don't get other cloths dirty!

I'd wanted to try this for ages before I got my hands on it. I hate washing my face over the sink so make up removal wipes are my normal go-to. This melts on so nicely, smells lovely and is easily removed, most make up (not my stubborn waterproof mascara however) comes off easily and my face feels super fresh afterwards.

I have been using this product for over a month since it arrived in the Beauty Box. OMG I thought it was a fad, didn't expect much.

Best makeup remover I think I've ever used. It gets off all of the eyemake-up, all of the double wear and leaves my skin feeling fantastic.

I only wish the cloth it came with was black - the foundation stains don't really come out that easily!

I, like many others, received this in the September BRBB and I was stoked - Everything I've tried of Trilogy's is awesome, so I was so pleased to see this in the box. It came with a gorgeously soft facial cloth as well, and I love it!

The product is in a 80ml jar which is surprisingly heavy for the product, but as a balm I suppose it's to be expected. The lid twists off and you're greeted with a lovely pale golden yellow color and the heavenly smell of roses hits you slowly, faster if you decide to have a good sniff.

The balm is exactly that, a balm. It's thick, but it melts easily at the touch and you can easily scoop some out. However that's what I don't like about this product, I prefer my cleansers with a pump as it seems slightly more hygienic.

This rubs in smoothly to the face and you don't notice it getting rid of your makeup until its gone! However. I don't think it does a very good job, as I feel like I have to use more than the recommended amount to get my mascara off. It doesn't melt my mascara like Bossy does, which was my favorite at the time. I used a maybe half a teaspoon, most of it on my eyes, and my mascara stayed firmly put.

This also hurt my eyes, but that was the only place it hurt so I must not have taken it all off. It was a lovely product but sadly it had a poor performance and I wouldn't buy it with my own money.

When the last beauty box was announced, I was hoping this product was in it. It had been released around the same time, and the feedback I had heard made me really excited to try this product. So when I opened the BRBB and found this in there, I was over the moon.

This cleanser comes in a brown tub (very similar packaging to the rest of the trilogy range, with a brown jar and a white and red label). This product also comes with a small face cloth, a nice touch but personally, this doesn't add any value to the product for me... and I also wish the face cloth wasn't a cream colour because it got dirty once, and never looked clean again.

The lid twists off the tub to reveal a solid product, which is a yellow colour, with an organic smell to it. It is a balm in all senses of the word, and it pretty easy to scoop out to use. However... I hate putting my fingers in products. I prefer pumps although this would clearly not work for this product but I would have preferred this product to come with a spoon or spatula instead of a face cloth because once my hands go in (even though they are clean), all I can imagine is the germs in the little tub, and it’s off putting.

This balm melts quickly upon touch, and is easy to smooth over face without the mess of it running down your arms (like oil cleansers can do). I find it is pretty effective at getting off foundation, but it does struggle with eye makeup, especially liquid eyeliner and mascara. After rubbing, rubbing and rubbing some more, it does remove most of it. But it takes a long time, and a lot of product... and when I use it on my eyes, it does seem to irritate them, so it’s just not worth the hassle for me personally.

Overall, this makeup cleanser is nice at removing foundation, but doesn't do a great job at removing long-wearing eye makeup, and can cause irritation for me. I also find I have to use quite a bit of product to get the job done, and find this product leaves a greasy feeling that is heavier than other cleaning balms I have used, so I won't be repurchasing this product again

I received this in my last brbb. Quite hapoy with this being inside as its a pricey wee gem. However it took me some time to use it. A rose tinted plastic tub that has the illusion it's a glass tub with a screw top cap lid with he Trilogy branded label this is in cased with a little organic face cloth that has a slight lint feel to it in the softest possible way. The contents looks like a clear Vaseline formula. It's solid as a rock but it melts to the touch making it easier& appealing to use. The scent is subtle which I can't give a description to it. Upon use it melts down immediately from the warmth of your fingers and easily melts the makeup as you work it into your face. This wonderful balm is non abrasive invasive & non allergenic to my combo skin type & it moves the most stubborn makeup from lipsticks to mascara shadows &foundation;. It has a silk feel&wipes; of with the wash cloth all the makeup you see the makeup melt as you work the balm into your skin,it's quite something to witness. As it has a slimey feel to it you can start to doubt it almost immediately the makeup is lifting up or melting either either. My con though is that it's a procedure yah know rub it in then wash it off with a face cloth so I've kept me face cloths for my own use because my mascara has stained the cloths. Really nothing big to complain about because my skin gets a good effralarge while removing my makeup. For me there is no real con all pros& a little goes a long way 2 months day use has seen me use 1 third of product.
