Goodness Break-up Make-up Balm Review

I was lucky enough to get sent this directly from Goodness Products, and then received another one from a beauty box woohoo!

First of all I love the packaging - I love anything that has easy access and that allows me to get however much product I want. The screw top lip tin also allows for a very safe product to travel with - no worries about spillage. Even if the lid did come off, this is a balm, so this won't spill anyway. However the balm will probably melt if you leave it in the scorching heat.

I also love how easy this product is to use. Scoop out however much product you want, in my opinion about a teaspoon is enough, rub it together in your hands (it will turn to an oily like substance) and massage your face. The oil will life any dirt and makeup then use a warm cloth to remove.

After using, my face is 100% clean. I tested this by using a makeup wipe after using the balm - not one single smidgen of makeup on the wipe. My skin is also left feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.

I love how affordable and available this is and also love that it's filled with natural ingredients. Definitely worth repurchasing.

I wasn't sure what to think of this product when I first got it because I am so used to using makeup wipes to remove my makeup at the end of the day so I was excited to try something a bit different. I followed the instructions on how to use the product and my first thought was that I didn't really like digging my finger into the balm as it got stuck under my nails. There was no strong scent to it which was a big plus for me. When I started rubbing it on my face, it felt very greasy which I thought I would like since I have slightly dry skin but it was sort of unpleasant. I did find that it removed my makeup quite well, including my mascara however I did not like the greasy feeling on my eyes either. The worst part for me though was removing the balm as it left a slightly greasy feeling even after washing and moisturising my face. Overall I don't think I will be using this as much as I would like as it would be a lot easier and faster to just use a makeup wipe rather than the sort of unpleasant feeling of a greasy balm.

I really like this product and am very happy with how it works.

The packing is very cute, a metal tin with a twist off lid decorated in pastel colours that look great sitting on the bathroom shelf and it is also very easy to chuck into your makeup bag if you are going away.

The balm is lovely to use, being made with lots of natural oils it feels very smooth on the face and super nourishing. It does have quite a strong scent however I personally really like it. The balm does exactly what is says and really disintegrates makeup! I used this with my fullest coverage foundation and full eye makeup and it all just melts away. However you do need to use a face cloth to wipe away the balm and residue as it is quite thick so cannot be simply washed away with water.

After use my skin felt soft and hydrated. I can be somewhat breakout prone but this didn't feel like it clogged up my pores and it didn't cause any breakouts for me.

I will definitely continue using this and would purchase again.

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!

This balm is presented beautifully, the tin makes it feel a little more "High end" than it is and sturdy packaging for travel etc.

i was very intrigued as all natural and the ingredients sounded amazing!

Very easy to use, I just scooped out a pea sized or slightly larger amount with the back of my nail and would let it warm up in my finger tips and then gently massage all over my face including my eyes.

For me I found it had a slightly gritty consistancy, a little like some sand was in it? It still felt nice on my face.

Then I took a warm damp facecloth and let it sit over my face for 10 to 20 seconds before gently wiping off.

I have had some troubles with makeup removers in the past, I find they just don't live up to the hype, now while this balm removed my face makeup "ok" I still found it had trouble taking off my non-waterproof eye makeup, especially the mascara. Would wake up with panda eyes the next day, also using toner after on a cotton round still led me to find traces of my face makeup. I also developed a couple of pimples after using this a couple of times, nothing severe but I am not usually prone to breaking out.

All in all this sounds like a great balm, but not for me unfortunately, I still end up using eye makeup remover before this so I get everything off.

I would recommend friends trying though as for $20 things do work on different people differently and I am quite fussy when it comes to getting the ol' Mascara off

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

'Goodness Makeup Breakup Balm is a makeup remover that will wipe away all traces of makeup from every skin type.The balm is formulated with coconut oil, avocado oil and certified chia seed oil. It is vegan, free from artificial fragrances and has no added colourants.' The tin has pretty pastel colours decorating the sides and bottom with a limey-yellow coloured lid that complements the colours on the tin. Inside is a solid cake cleansing balm that smells of fresh lemons. Its a natural scent that's not too strong. Only a small amount of product is needed to cove your entire face. The texture melts into a smooth oily formula that can be gently moved around your face giving it a gentle massage. There's no need to wet your face first. I like to take a small amount of the balm, melting it by the heat of my fingers. The solid balm transfers into a liquid and I gently massage it into my skin, starting around the eye area and working it over the rest of my face. The balm breaks up and dissolves makeup, dirt and daily grime. I use it on stubborn makeup such as waterproof mascara and eyeliner which it very thoroughly dissolves. The oily formula is soft enough to gently massage into the eye area. I finish off with a warm face towel to wipe away the residue as being formulated from pure oils the balm does not dissolve on contact with water. The balm is super gentle on my skin leaving it feeling clean and fresh with no residue - just moisturised and soft. I love the fact that Goodness Makeup Breakup Balm is made in NZ and I especially love that it has a "Best Before' stamp on the bottom and Batch No. so you know how fresh it is.

Received this as part of the recent Beauty Vault. I was so excited as I heard/seen people rave about it online. However I was underwhelmed.

This product comes in a little tin like pottle with a screw top lid. Aesthetically it looks really nice. Smells wonderful, organic like it is made with all natural ingredients. I like it, not overpowering.

Having since used it on a regular basis in the evening, I find I don't like scraping the product out with my nails. I have them semi long and the product gets underneath my nail I just don't like it.

Using the recommended amount (a finger nail size) I found it would wash off most of my make up not all of it (mascara). It was also really greasy, which I wasn't expecting. Didn't appreciate that. I found the product wouldn't come off no matter how much I washed my face and ended up using a facial scrub to remove the product completely. I found it annoying that I would have to have a second step in my make up removal process when I have used make up removal wipes, micellar water and they remove it all first time.

This probably seems mostly negative but it had some cool points. I thought it was so cool when it melted down in my hand, how clever is that changing substance. Also since there is 80ml of product I feel like this product will last me atleast 6 months if not longer. Being vegan ticks a big box, I love that in a product.

Overall, it's a shame I generally don't like it. It's not quick, it is greasy and does not remove all sorts of make up. This was a miss for me.

It'll be a cold day in hell for me to give up my Clinique Take the Day Off Balm, but it did snow on Mt Hutt in the middle of summer, so here we are.

The scent reminds me of the day spa and this certainly gets ALL of the makeup off your face, and its so luxurious using a warm flannel to remove it and all the makeup. It melts even matte lipsticks, stubborn eyeshadows and I'm sure its soooo good it could erase your internet browsing history (maybe not that good...).

My only gripe is that in warmer weather, in an ensuite that gets afternoon sun, it starts to melt and that does bug me because I prefer it at the more solid end of the spectrum.

I was sent this product to review as part of a Trial Team.

The product comes in a really pretty metal tin with a screw-on lid. It is a solid waxy balm that you are supposed to scrape out to use. It melts easily in your hands and turns into a smooth oil. It has a strong botanical/floral fragrance that I find quite pleasant.

To use, the instructions state to scoop out a fingernail-size amount of product, melt in hands, and spread on face. You are supposed to use a warm washcloth to remove it.

The product was easy to spread on my face and felt pleasant to massage in. It did remove my makeup well, as most oils tend to do. However, it ran into my eyes and stung badly despite the instructions stating it can be used to remove eye makeup. I used a warm washcloth and wiped thoroughly, which removed the makeup, but it was very difficult to remove the oil. My face was left with a slightly tacky, oily film - though this was not a big problem as I always use a foaming cleanser after oil-cleansing.

I did not like this product for the following reasons: It stung my eyes. It was hard to remove as it does not emulsify with water like many other (Asian) cleansing oils/balms I have tried. It left an oily film that made it hard for my second cleanser to lather well.

I would not re-purchase this product.
