Move Over MAC!!!!

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!!

Tips: If you've misplaced your cleansing cloth (like me) I've found that the baby flannels work just as well :) I got a 5 pack from pak n save for about $5 x

trilogy cleansing balm holy grail

I am so thankful for receiving this in the september beauty review beauty box.

the only downside of this is getting it out of the container- would be nice to have come with a little spatula or spoon.

I love the facecloth it comes with but its not essential to its effeciancy.

The product is very hard but melts easily in your fingers. It feels lovely on the skin and absolutely melts off any trace of makeup, I do generally use a seperate eye makeup remover as i use benefit they're real and i have not found one product that will remove that.

Once I have washed off the cleansing balm, my skin feels smooth and clean.

i love this stuff i really feel like I am putting something good on my face and i love how easy it is to take off my makeup!

Move over oil cleansers!

Its fact, humans don't like change. So when I saw this balm arrive in the Sept BRBB I thought, how could something that's not liquid remove makeup, surely it cannot be better than my oil cleansers?

I really didnt enjoy the first few uses but I persisted as I didnt want it going to waste and now would you believe its my new holy grail.

Due to its a waxy like texture its water resistant until its heated up. Its difficult to know how much to use but a little goes a long way, so I get a finger nail size, rub it between my fingers to warm it up (due to its firm texture) and then smooth and massage it all over my face and eyes, which I find super relaxing as it warms up and I spread around my face. Paying extra care to my eyes Ive found it removes even the most stubborn of my makeup. How? I don't know, but its Amazing.

After a wipe off with a warm wet face cloth my face feels super clean and cleansed, with not a trace of make up to be found.

This is so much more hassle free than micellar waters or wipes and I find it doesn't make my eyelids super red like everything else that I've been trying, and my oily skin doesn't mind this product at all. Plus being Trilogy I know its only full of all the good things and nothing bad. This jar will last AGES.

This is going to be perfect for travel as it cant leak and even for a late night Ive no excuse not to take my make up off - its just too easy. No more messy makeup removal with cotton pads and wipes.

Tips: Be patient, it can take awhile to get use to a different form of make up removal.

BEST of the Best

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!

LOVE!!!

i was so super stoked to get this in the BRBB!! it was the one thing i had my eye on at the time. I am a huge Trilogy fan, and expected this to impress me to no end, and it did! you only need a little bit, warm it up in your fingers then massage your face to emulsify the makeup off your face! its amazing! it smells really good, and does not leave my face feeling oily like other cleansing balms ive used. I dont break out with this either, and its not harsh on my cyst acne, which im super happy with!!

the ONLY thing i did not like, it the cloth that came with it, i mean, its a good cloth, but it stains SO BAD! i have to soak mine in sard just to get the mascara stains out!!

but other than that....INCREDIBLE!

its in my top 5 Makeup removers!!

Tips: warm in your fingertips, and massage into your face to get the blood flowing and emulsify the makeup!!! xx

Love!

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!

Balm Glorious Balm

I received this cleansing balm in the September Beauty Box and thought it looked like another great Trilogy product.

It comes packaged in a cute little brown pot with a black screw top lid. It also has a nice face cloth.

When I opened the lid, my first thought was that it looks like a cross between candle wax and coconut oil. It has an unusual, but pleasant scent, maybe most attributable to the mango it contains. It has fabulous ingredients such as mango butter, and sunflower, olive, rosehip, and coconut oils.

The instructions say to just use a ¼ teaspoon, but I find that isn't anywhere near enough, so I use more. I use it as instructed, massaging it into my skin then washing off with a wet face cloth. I find it does a good job. I was hoping it would leave a soft oily residue behind it, with all the oils it contains, but this was not the case. So once my skin is clean, I massage some into my clean skin and it leaves a nice waxy soft feel on my skin.

I think this is an interesting product, and the pot will last me a while, but I’m not sure if I’ll repurchase it. Actually, it would be a great travel product as it removes make-up, cleans the skin, and is a great night moisturiser – 3 in 1, saving space !!! I would definitely consider re-purchasing it to take on a trip with me (if I ever get to take a trip).

Tips: Tip: I think it works better if you massage it in, then have a hot shower, then apply some for moisturising. It makes my skin feel glowy and healthy when I do that instead of just washing off with a face cloth, as that leaves my skin a little dull for some reason.

Makeup melts away

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.

Tips: Do not throw the cloth in the drier as it shrinks terribly. Also throw some bossy make up brush cleanser on it to wash off the make up post use in your vanity then the stains aren't so stubborn I learnt later on.

Gentle, effective, luxurious

I picked this up in the Christmas Beauty Vault and was very excited to try this as it is something out of my budget, and I was not disappointed

The balm comes packaged in an elegant white and red box, with a pretty red flower on it, with a cloth included.The cloth included is on the smaller side, and would be more ideal if it was larger. The cloth is very gentle, and works great with the product, allowing my makeup to gently be wiped off with no rubbing. The cloth however is cream, and it stains incredibly badly from the makeup. It'd be better if it was another colour. I thought adding the cloth though was a nice touch. The makeup balm comes in a classy heavy plastic tube with the typical elegant Trilogy packaging. This looks and feels like a luxury product, and I feel like I'm in luxury when using it.

The balm is solid, and melts into your fingers. It's a pale yellow colour with a lovely fruity scent. I found the directions easy to follow. It feels a bit unhygienic to me scooping the balm out with my fingers, it'd be nice if this included a scooper or something, but I get by.

I found using the directed 1/4 of a teaspoon managed to remove all my makeup from my face, even stubborn eye makeup. This seems quite long lasting, as I have been using this daily for over a month yet have barely scraped the top layer of the product, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. This makes my makeup gently melt off my way, and when I wipe with the cloth, it is all gone. I used to have a lot of difficulty removing makeup and would often lose eyelashes trying to remove heavy mascara, but now it is a breeze. I used to dread makeup removal but this balm has actually made me look forward to it. This was gentle on my skin and didn't cause any break outs.

I also love that this is New Zealand made, 100 % natural and not tested on animals. I have been trying to use more 'ethical' products so that's a bonus.

Overall, I would reccommend this to anyone looking for a new more effective way to remove make up as this changed my ways!

Tips: The stains on the removal cloth are easily removed by hand washing.

A Must Have!

This product I can seriously not live with out. I use this religiously every night to remove my makeup. I have been looking into purchasing a good makeup remover for a while now as I was sick of using wipes that did not completely remove my makeup and I wanted to really stick to committing myself to remove my makeup properly every night before bed.

I picked this up in the last beauty vault as I have heard so many good things about the Trilogy brand. At first I didn't know what to expect as the product reminded me of beewax. I don't typically reach for products with this consistency. I gave it a go and it was really waxy to massage into my skin. It comes with a face wash cloth which I believe is made with bamboo. It is so soft and gentle on my skin and I found that this product completely removes my makeup no matter how thick it is.

Overall I find this product wonderful and 100% effective. A little bit of product defiantly goes a long way. I recommend this product to everyone, I believe it is worth trying out.
