I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this make-up removing balm. Firstly it comes in an eye catching tin with a twist of lid. It has a herbal natural smelling fragrance which i love.
The instructions state that you should use a finger nail size amount however I find it need to use more then that to remove all of my make-up. I usually use 1-3 finger nail sized amounts depending on how much make-up i need to remove. I then melt it in my hands and smooth all over my face. It breaks up all my make-up really well. The make up wipes of like magic, i use a warm damp face cloth to do this. It leaves skin looking super clean.
I think this product does what it says it does. I also love the fact that is NZ made and vegan friendly.
I will continue to use this product and will be purchasing as I really like 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.
