Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm Review

This is one of the more expensive skincare items I own and I love it - although I dont usually spend over $30 on a skincare product I would definitely purchase again. The balm has a nice subtle scent, almost citrus-y. You apply to dry skin, rub all over your face then remove with a warm cloth or sometimes I just use water from the shower! It makes my skin feel so nourished and glowy.

I got a mini jar of this as part of a travel kit, which i would also recommend. You do have to be a bit patient in colder weather as it can set quite hard and you have to warm a bit up on your finger tips before you can take your make up off. But it does an amazing job and even tackles a very removal resistant waterproof mascara that I own. For most make up a gentle application then remove with a warm face cloth is all that is needed. I haven't used the cloth that comes with the full size jar but an ordinary facecloth works fine. My full size jar has lasted more than a year of sometimes twice daily use and the mini jar lasts at least 2 - 3 weeks if you are travelling. And it doesn't leak which is a total bonus!

Loving my Trilogy makeup be gone! My skin has been very dry lately and since using trilogy make up be gone it has really helped with my dry skin. It is very soft and oily to touch, but leaves my skin so soft and refreshed. You just take a small about on the tip of your finger and massage in to remove any makeup or even if you just wanting to rejuvenate your skin, take a warm flannel and wipe away! Viola! I love the way it leaves my skin feeling and a bonus no more dry skin, highly recommend

This product is great at removing all make up including mascara and does not leave your skin feeling dry. Its also super fast and easy to use. A little bit really does go a long way which means the tub lasted me quite a while. It also didn't break me out which some products similar to this can do to my skin.

Another new product for me! I purchased this recently online from healthpost along with the Everything Balm and really love it!

It was on special and I was looking for a good cleanser to remove makeup as well as long stay makeup, mascara etc so thought I would give this a try.

I like the packaging - has the Trilogy red flower etc which I love. Easy to use screw top container. So I wear makeup every day and need a good remover as I use a stay put lippy and can be hard to remove.

This is similar to the Everything Balm by Trilogy which I also purchased and loved, where I scrape out about the size of my thumb nail and emulsify in my hands to warm. It is a really lovely consistency and so easy to spread all over my face and work in to get the makeup off. It does remove my makeup really well but I do find that I need to get a little extra on a cloth to completely remove the mascara and the stay put lippy. Which is fine as you really don't need much.

This did come with an organic cotton cloth for removal, however I haven't used this yet as I am currently using a bamboo cloth for removal, but will definitely give their cloth a go too!

Love this make up remover and will definitely purchase again!

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!

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.

I scored this in the September BRBB and I was curious as soon as I read about it on the card. I didn't really expect great things to be honest but had heard/read such great things about Trilogy that I was itching to take my make up off that night! I was a little perplexed & skeptical about how a balm & what feels & looks like Vaseline would remove all my make up & leave my face clean....

Well it does indeed remove make up - I still find I need to remove my eye make up - mostly mascara with an appropriate cleanser but everything else does just kind of melt off.

I do find myself cleansing still afterwards though & that's possibly more due to the fact that I don't feel clean from it. It kind of leaves my skin feeling a bit oily & slick & I hate that feeling.

The packaging is lovely. It's a tub with a screw cap lid, it'll be really easy to get every last bit of this out. It came with a little flannel that I don't really bother using - needs a few washes before it's going to be effective for a start & I feel it's just really too small to be taking the cake off my face.

The balm it's self is like a Vaseline consistency but maybe a little more solid. It has a subtle smell.

I don't think I would pay the near on $40 for this... I feel that's a little too expensive for it but all in all it's a nice product, easy to use and fairly hassle free.

Yay! for getting this wonderful new product in the September BR Beauty Box! I was so excited by this one product that I had to get using it straight away. I admit I don't wear make up on a daily basis but I do wear it 3-4 days a week roughly. I already have a love of Trilogy products so to give this a fair review I tried to look past the brand name and see the product for what it is.

First the packaging is simple, easy to read and follow instructions, and so much love for the soft organic cotton cleansing cloth. The cleansing balm itself is very solid, you scrape out about a 20c size amount and smear it on your face... I like this once it melts in but I find it kind of tugs at my skin at first. This effectively melts the makeup on my skin and it even gets to work on stubborn waterproof eye makeup. Once melted and massaged around you wipe it of with the cloth and warm water... easy as pie and it takes it all off. It also doesn't irritate my eyes or eye area which some other remover products have done in the past. I then use my regular face wash or scrub to remove any remaining traces I might of missed (not that I have seen a trace left).

The scent is nice too (semi sweet fruity yet rose hip type smell) and my skin is definitely not misbehaving (which it often does).

Downside for me is that I don't like digging around in jars with my fingers so a device or spatula type accessory would have been helpful.

I got this product in the recent BRBB, and boy was it worth it! This cleansing balm is rock had and comes in a medium round tub. Although difficult to get out (due to its rock hardness), once its warmed up and applied it feels incredible. My skin felt so soft afterwards, and most importantly it did an excellent job of removing a full face of make up.

I dont think this will become my go to make up remover (as it takes more time and effort than my usual wipe and go), but I will keep in handy as a luxurious way of coaxing myself into taking my face off after a night out. My only complaint is that its hard to get out, and I had to use a metal teaspoon to remove.
