Goodness Break-up Make-up Balm Review

This is SUCH a lovely makeup remover! Everything about this product is honestly so nice. It's quite well priced, and comes in the cutest little tin. The balm reminds me of firm honey in a way — you only need a tiny amount and it melts really easily on your skin. It's super easy to smooth into your face, and removes all makeup effortlessly. Plus this company doesn't test on animals, which is super great!

I think I do still prefer Ultrabland by Lush though — it's my holy grail makeup remover and nothing seems to be quite as nourishing to use. But this is a close contender.

I would like to start by describing what I was wearing on my face when I first tried this - it was a full face of make-up day which included Gel winged liner, several coats of Lancome Hypnose mascara, full coverage stick foundation, powders, bronzers AND a setting srpay. It's safe to say that by the time it came to wash my face this product was going to get a full work out!

How did it go?: I used just over the recommended amount. It is a soild looking balm in the tin, so I dipped my finger in (softer on contact) and dragged it backwards until there was just over a finger nails worth build up.

It recommends that you smooth/melt it between your hands first then apply to a dry face - so off I went. GOSH it felt good, it melted into an oil type consistancy almost right away and it felt amazing on my skin as I moved it around in circles breaking down my foundation and brow pencil. Once I had it applied good and proper I started in on my eyes. I went one at a time, rubbing it into the general area (the eye liner started to rub away instantly) then I massaged my lashes by opening my eyes and gently placing a finger tip either side in a pinching motion and rubbing the lashes between my fingers. Let me tell you I had great big black pander eyes by the time I had done my thing.

Then I took a warm damp face cloth and like MAGIC it all just wiped away - leaving my skin clean, soft and glowing.

Would I recommend it?: HELL YES! If you are like me and hate using traditional cleansers because you have to wet your face first and it drips all over the place OR you dislike having to use an eye make-up remover first and then a face cleanser then this is for you.

A few last points: I really liked how gentle on my eyes this was, I have used similar balms before and I still find a bit of a build up around the eye area afterwards, but not with this. Also Im not a huge fan of the scent...it almost smells like damp cut grass, very earthy.

I recieved this in a best beautybox. I was so eager to try it since it has great reviews.

It comes in a cute tin and has a natural scent which i can't pin point sorry. The consistency looks hard but it's actually soft. The colour is yellow.

Put a small amount onto the palm of your hands and rub together to melt the product (takes a matter of seconds) the rub all over your dry face. Then wash your face with a warm flannel.

I found this product easy to use. Very simple and very effective. I was worried that my skin would be left with an oily residue but it wasn't. My face was 99% clear of makeup. Just a tiny amount of eyeliner left. I am happy with this product and would recommend it.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this make up remover and was quite excited as its a very natural product without lots of added nasties. The first night I used this I probably used a bit too much - they suggest a fingernail size and I used about a teaspoon!! The fragrance is nice and the texture is just like coconut oil - where its solid but quickly melts in your hands. The next and subsequent days I used less product as the packaging suggests. I rubbed the product all over my face and was impressed at how it actually did break up my make up -day to day I wear Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, Kat Von D eyeliner and Too Faced Better than Sex mascara which are notoriously stubborn to remove. I found it quite unpleasant taking off my eye makeup without using a pad and using a rubbing motion instead, it did work but eventually my eyes started to water and I quickly resembled an emo kid with allergies. I found it quite hard to completely remove the product, after I had washed my face with a hot cloth my cleanser and toner struggled to remove the remnants of oil off my skin which has resulted in me at the age of 31 looking like a teenager again with some wonderful zits and clogged pores. Definitely not a product for me - currently have combination skin which tends to be sensitive.

I really love this makeup balm and I especially love the fresh fragrance! Even the wee tin it comes in is cute! I use this daily in the shower before I cleanse, I take all of my makeup off with this and it is absolutely amazing for stubborn waterproof eye makeup! I usually use a mircofibre face cloth (are a face halo type thing if you have one) to remove it all off as the oily residue can be quite hard to get rid of sometimes, but a bit of friction and some hot water it just melts right off! I find a little goes a long way with this product so it always lasts me such a long time. I'll be buying this for a long time!

With most balms i can be a bit of a skeptic!

But the goodness balm is great, i only need to apply it once for it remove most of my stubborn makeup, it also has a fresh/natural scent that isnt overpowering which is quite nice.

The main thing i love about this balm is it doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or that there is a residue left over.

This product has really impressed me. I don't usually like anything oily on my skin because I have combination skin with oily areas. Goodness Break-up Make-up balm is nourishing without being too oily - lovely smooth product that simply dissolves makeup. It really does a brilliant job of removing makeup - even mascara. The texture is balmy and soft. Goes on beautifully and smooth. Smells fresh - not overpowering at all. The packaging is super cute - very cool tin, easy to pack for travel and a very handy size. I am not super fond of digging my fingers into a container, so I used a little plastic scoop to take the product out to ensure that there is no contamination. As mentioned, I don't like anything too oily, so I still used my normal cleanser and toner afterwards on the more oily areas to ensure that my skin is super clean. I love this - will buy again and will recommend. Also perfect for teenagers - so my daughter will be getting her own tin.

I grabbed this and another Goodness product randomly at Countdown the other week when they were on special. I think it was two for thirty dollars. I had been looking for a nice balm makeup remover since I chose to stop using Clinique TTDO because of their animal testing practices. I unscrewed the lid and I have to say I like the packaging. It is sturdy but still easy to get into. I like the fact that it is a tin as it seems less likely to break if it falls onto the bathroom floor.

I was a bit concerned to begin with that the product was a bit hard and waxy but it is reasonably easy to scoop out a little lump of balm and warm it up in your hands before massaging it into your makeup covered face. I use it on my eyes with no stinging or sensitive reaction. It breaks down mascara reasonably easily. Although I have only tried it with one mascara. The product shifts makeup effortlessly. Massage it in and wipe off with a warm flannel and hey presto, no makeup. It has a reasonably pungent lemon scent, which some days I find more pleasant than others. Overall it's OK. I feel like this doesn't break down with a warm flannel quite as easily as other balm cleansers I have used and does require a second cleanse to get rid of all the product. Having said that I don't dislike this and will probably repurchase. A little goes a long way and it is a good makeup remover. It hasn't caused any reactions or breakouts and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised. I like this cleanser.

I tried this product a wee while ago as I wanted to try the Clinique take the day off balm - however it was unavailable. This was the next closest I could find and it did not disappoint!

The Goodness balm is set firmly in a tin - which I preferred as this could be recycled easier than the plastic others are packaged in. Using this product almost daily lasted me roughly 6mo before I had to dispose of it. I stored the product in the shower as I found it easier to use there - however I believe that is what ultimately led to some mild growing in the tin :(

While I did enjoy the product (and actually found it removed better than its Clinique dupe) I will not likely repurchase - mostly due to enjoying micellar products more.

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.
