Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm Review

I love to try new products but as far as a cleansing balm goes I think this one is the best. It feels so luxurious on the skin.

It lasts a really long time as you only need a little amount. It's quite a hard balm in the tub, but soft as it melts quickly on the skin so spreads on the skin easily. It has a lovely herbal scent to it, and feels so nourishing as you rub it into the skin. A warm face cloth easily removes the makeup and dirt with ease, and you're left with really soft clean skin. It's great on eye makeup too.

This is the most thorough cleansing balm I've come across so far, and while I do try other brands now and then, I always come back to this one.

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.

Most cleaners leave my skin too dry/too oily, which is not good when prone to acne. This I love. My skin feels amazing, its left feeling soft, bright and actually makes me want to wash my face at night as it's almost a treat. I do find it leaves more eye make up than other brands, but It can come down to how much attention you are giving to your eyes (as mentioned per instructions). The cloth included feels great but a simple soft face cloth works a treat.

I was very excited to see that a Trilogy product had been added to the September BB.

This Make-up Be Gone Cleanser comes in a simple round container with a classic Trilogy label. In the box is also an organic cloth which I felt was an added bonus in their promotion of natural products!

It really is a balm, and reminds me of coconut oil. I scoop out a bit at a time and start to rub it into my face. The heat of my skin melts it pretty quickly and allows it to be easily spread. Usually at that point I grab some more and rub my eyes. I love how it removes all of my eye makeup and doesn't irritate my eyes. Normally my eyes are very sensitive to different products but mine have been fine when using this. Plus as a bonus afterwards you can look like Zoro with a mask of rubbed off mascara.

I use a warm flannel to remove and wipe off the balm that is on my face, the black mascara is easily removed at this point without any forced rubbing of my eyes.

I am very happy with this product - if only for its capabilities with removing eye makeup. However I wouldn't use this alone. I finish up my face washing routine with a cleanser and toner just to make sure my skin is very clean.

This is the first cleansing balm I've ever tried and I was excited to see it inside the BR Beauty Box. When this says it melts makeup, it truly does. It is great at removing all of my makeup and even mascara and liquid eyeliner. Not even my cleansing milk or makeup wipes could do the same so this is by far the best makeup remover I've tried.

I followed the instructions on how to use it and it worked well. I do wish the cotton cloth was softer so it was gentler on the skin. However, you could probably use any other cloth that you prefer more.

The balm itself is solid and it melts when you touch it to get the product. I like the packaging of this but I didn't like having to scrape the product off with my fingers every time I used it. A little scraper or spatula-type product would be nice.

I don't use this every day because I think it's more for days when I have a full face of makeup on and not when I only have BB cream which is my every day look for work. It will be a waste of product for me but if you have lots of makeup on, this will be a great remover for you.

I tested this out a few times and used it to remove a full face of makeup including smokey eye, liquid eyeliner and They're Real mascara and it took everything off. I even used a makeup wipe afterwards and it barely had any makeup traces on the wipe so I was quite impressed.

Like any product it is best to follow the instructions. Firstly, the packaging is really nice, classy and I felt from the packaging it would be a quality product.

The balm is lovely, I definitely use more than they suggest, but it warms easily and feels like a serum of goodness when you massage it in. Removing is where you should pay most attention to the instructions. I was initially removing with a wet cloth sweeping over, and it just wasn't removing all my makeup, in particular stubborn eyeliner. Once I reread those instructions and placed a hot moist flannel on my face for a few seconds, relaxing, enjoying the steam and the removed, I had the best results with all makeup gone, even heavy stage eyeliner.

Oh yes, and the flannel that came with it was a nice touch, but a bit rubbish. Quickly stained.

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.
