Good Bye Makeup

While I loved my oil makeup remover, I wanted to try something else, and having tried other Goodness products, when I saw this at my supermarket, it just fell in with my groceries. The tin is a good size, and is easy to open & close, even with product. You only use a little, I tend to use the back of my little finger nail, to get about two fingernails worth out. then it's a case of massage into your face - very easy to use. It has an odd smell, which reminds me of freshly cut grass, but i think it is mostly a dandelion smell. Importantly it removes makeup, even thick stubborn black eyeliner, and it is gentle on my eyes. I soak a facecloth in hot water and use this to wipe off, it's also nice to allow the hot cloth to rest on my face. It makes it feel like a treatment.

Tips: You really do only need a little bit.

This sounds perfect for my day to day make up wear, good tip about the hot cloth. I would really like to give this one a test! Interesting comment about the smell though....

Works very well!

I was extremely curious to see how this product would work and i'm very happy with the results! It removes all traces of makeup and leaves skin fresh for cleansing! A little goes a long way with this product although it does have a very strong scent that i can't quite put my finger on

Not worth the money

I have recently jumped on the oil/balm make up remover wagon and this was a definite fail for me.

I am a dance teacher and wear a full face of make up that includes liquid lipsticks and waterproof mascara on a daily basis.

I was looking for a product that was not to expensive that I could use before cleansing my face to remove my make up.

I found this did not live up to my expectations. Yes it removed my foundation and the majority of my lipstick but removing my mascara did not happen. I felt I really had to scrub at my eyes to get anywhere and then even after removing all the product I have to grab another make up remover to get the mascara completely off.

It's also really hard to get off your skin without a face cloth and this really put me off.

I wont be using this product again

Tips: If using waterproof mascara use something other than this.

MareeB ponds cold cream was the best. I wish we could still get it here as it works and also reminds me on my childhood dance shows.

Years ago when I was dancing I used Ponds Cold Cream for removing heavy stage make- up. It worked like a dream. It's a shame you can't still buy if here. I think you can get it from Fishpond but it's pricey.

Makeup be gone!

I was lucky enough to win this makeup remover balm in an IG competition! I had alead had full intentions of buying this product before I won after seeing it in action in a live video.

The balm is quite soft and easy enough to remove from the tin packaging. It's yellow aND smells like a 'unscented' candle. A wee bit on my finger tips I apply it to all over my face by massaging it in. 1 thing I find about this product it is really tricky to get off the face, I suggest using a face cloth to help remove it.

It's so simple, yet so effective. I have found it won't remove my mascara which was a little bit of a let down. After cleaning off the balm with a face cloth I think it's important to cleanse your face to fully remove the waxy feel from your face and to make sure your face gets a proper clean.

As far as wether this product works or not it definitely does! It doesn't remove hard stubborn makeup but it removes 99.9% of it and for me that's a win!

I really love this product, and I will remember purchase once I have run out.

Tips: Use a face cloth to remove the remaining product from your face.

Make up Break up!

I really liked this product. Super easy to use, just take a small pea sized bit of the balm, warm it up in your fingers and massage all over the face. Just be careful not to use too much pressure when taking out the balm otherwise your finger with go straight through it! I wear reasonably light make up and this balm got my make up off like a dream, it even got off my mascara. One thing I did find is that it doesn't wash off without a cleanser or a warm flannel. However the oils also help make the skin feel nice and hydrated, a bonus for dry skin like me! I really enjoyed using this product and have already recommended it to friends. Will continue to use and see how it gets off heavier make up.

A big thanks to Beauty Review as I won this product in a Facebook competition of theirs.

Tips: A little goes a long way and best removed with a warm flannel

In love with Break-up Make-up balm!

I received this in the staff picks BBBE and I instantly fell in love! I find that the make up wipes I have been using just aren't cutting it, esp around my eyes. I was skeptical to try this, how good could it be? Well, it's amazing! A tiny bit goes a long way too! It feels amazing on my skin, takes the make up off in just a couple of gentle wipes and is then easily washed off with warm water. It smells so good too, kind of like nature which makes me feel good about putting it on my skin!

Good for face not eyes

Comes in a screw top tin. Melts instantly on hands and face making it easy use (no clumpy bits). Removes everything amazingly well except mascara. I was a bit disappointed with how little it actually worked on my eyes.

Tips: Great for removing kids face paint with no tears!

A Balm to Savour

Goodness break-up make-up balm came in a pretty pastel-toned screw-top tin. It boasts an impressive list of natural ingredients, almost a diet list! First impression for me was the aroma of the balm - almost "medical" as it reminded me of Vicks days, or was it Rawleigh's? I have been using a cleansing balm and this one surprised me with its grittiness, almost to exfoliant level. However, that had no detrimental effects on my skin.

This product is very economical, only a frugal amount is needed for the entire make-up removal and eye area also benefits with the Goodness ease of application and removal.

I felt my skin's "relief" immediately after I removed the balm, which in turn took all traces of make-up away with efficiency. In the morning I felt that I had a bare, clean canvas for my moisturiser, and in the evening I apply a fine night serum which went on and was absorbed beautifully.

I would buy this product for everyday use, particularly because of its cost and content, but I do prefer a smoother balm without the "grit".

Tips: Lightly moisten your face or finger before digging into the balm cake, it applies much easier and you use less product.

Novel time

Added edit: I noticed that over time the product in the tin went grainy/gritty. I think this is as it lives on my vanity and moisture has gotten in. In light of that I don't like the feel of the product the same way - however it does still work.

I was lucky enough to receive this as a trial item. The tin itself has a very retro feel, however i would mark it a 4/5 as it dents very easily (arrived slightly dented) and possibly as a result of this it can be fiddly to screw the top back on properly.

Scent wise it took me a while to get my head around but it reminds me of the smell of lemon peel crossed with lemongrass, it's not overpowering and I found it quite pleasant.

Ingredient wise it is packed full of oils and goodness (chia, coconut and avocado), which i'm sure must be good for you as they're all delicious.

Application - the instructions are to get fingernail sized bit and 'smoosh' it all over your face. Since I typically use coconut oil to remove makeup this was quite familiar.

I found it smooth and silky, the only time this changed at all was when i tried it on a damp face in the shower and it ended up feeling more 'sticky' in that it turned a creamy colour and became more solid so had more resistance to move it on my skin.

It doesn't melt in quite the same way as coconut oil but it smoothes on very nicely and a little goes a long way. It comes off easily with a warm damp cloth.

Findings: Well... Ive had a pretty hectic week in terms of different events like work, a date, and a dance festival including a themed party so i've used this on lots of different products. It easily removes my natio liquid foundation, thin lizzy mineral powder, and moisture mist beauty cake.

It also worked well on my eyeshadow and had no issues with my MAC paintpot eyeshadow which doesn't wipe off to touch once it's set.

Face paint comes off like a dream, as does glitter gel too. The one thing I found it had issues with is eyelash glue +/- with glitter stuck to it. In this case i physically had to pick it off with my fingernails (I had lots of glitter dots on my face, neck and arm from being painted like a leopard) but I won't really hold this against it.

Overall I enjoy using this product, and definitely see myself using it regularly. 4/5 due to the eyelash glue but I wouldn't expect this to be a major issue for me on a weekly basis. It easily left me with skin that felt hydrated, rather than that tight feeling from using a clenser. I prefer this feeling as get fairly dry cheeks, nose and forehead. Basically my skin feels pampered after I use it and to be honest - it makes me want to keep stroking my cheeks because of how soft they are!

Tips: I had a bit of a search online and someone recommended applying the balm directly to your warm damp cloth and holding over your eyes for a period before removing, rather than rubbing to remove mascara etc, however either is fine. Definitely apply to dry skin rather than wet.

Pretty amazing

I was a little sceptical about how a balm can take off makeup but was pliantly surprised! The balm smells lovely and citrusy and fresh. The balm melts in your hands very quickly and is easy to apply. It does feel a little oily. It worked well and removed my day makeup really really well. I have sensitive skin around the eyes and it didn't irritate or sting. It worked well to remove evening makeup however did need some extra help for heavier eye makeup. After wiping with a warm damp cloth my skin felt moisturised and clean. I didn't wake up with oily skin (which I was expecting). I would purchase this product but only to use as a light makeup remover.
