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.

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!

Fantastic Product!

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.

Tips: The cloth needs a machine wash after each use so it's not that practical. Eye make up remover will probably still be required if you're a waterproof mascara girl.

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

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!

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.

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 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

I can never live without this again!

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.

Tips: It even works on stubborn facepaint, and is gentle enough for my 5 year old daughters face (and she loves the smell too!)

A wee bit fantastic

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.

Tips: A little goes a long way.
