Perfect Mix for no panda eyes mornings!

Im in love! Im in love with this product! no doubts about it!

I Received this product in my BRBB, Which im over the moon i got otherwise i don't think me and this amazing product would have met.. you could say it was fate!

It came in a beautifuly designed wee box with the container of product and an organic cotton cloth. The container is nice sturdy so it would handle a few knocks about with cracking! The Organic Cotton Cloth what a genuis idea beacuse no one wants to wash there make up off and get the residue of mascara and foundation with a bit bright lippy all over towels especially if your colour coordination of towels is white and fluffy! Now on to the most important part.. the product it self! I love it, i love it, i love it! When you open up the container you can see the product is firm but with a scope of a tea spoon or spatula (Less Germ spreading then using your finger) it starts to soften with contact with the skin. You do not need much product at all! Once you start rubbing the product into your skin you can see it working, melting into skin and picking up that foundation, mascara and lippy! Then all is left to do is Wash with the organic cotton cloth and you are left with a super clean face, and all your eyelashes intact because you are not harshly scrubbing to get that waterproof mascara off!

This product is great doesn't leave you with a nasty oily feeling skin afterwards. skin is super soft!

The cloth stains after first use even when washed right away!

Tips: Great for removing stubborn mascara!!!! make sure you massage it into skin well before rinsing!

Make-Up Be (Almost) Gone

I received this cleansing balm in the BRBB and wondered, was this the answer to my longwear makeup removal woes? Well, almost!

It comes packaged in a cute little pot and with its own face cloth (which was appreciated, I didn't really want to mess up my other cloths!). The fragrance is lovely, not too strong but still enough to make it feel that extra bit special.

The instructions say to just use a tiny bit, but I found that wasn't really anywhere near enough. Perhaps I have a huge face or something! I tried to get by without adding more the first time (I always follow instructions exactly when using products the first time, then improvise from the second time onwards if needed) but it wasn't melting it as much as needed, and I struggled to remove my mascara with it. I hoped that the cloth would take care of it though and for the most part it did, but when I went back over my skin with makeup remover on a tissue there was still very clearly foundation left on my skin.

Since then, I've been using quite a bit more product and massaging it quite liberally all over my face and into my lashes (be careful, it's not so fun on the eyeball!) which does help to melt it, but even then there is still foundation on the tissue afterwards. And this is regular foundation, not longwear.

I'll keep using it, but at this stage I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

Tips: Use a bit more than the instructions suggest, and go over your skin with a gentle makeup remover afterwards to be sure all traces of makeup are gone.

Easy to use and actually works!

Was lucky enough to get a sample of this beautiful balm, and on trying it for the first time I was so surprised that it took off all my makeup, including waterproof mascara! It also didn't leave a greasy feeling, just fresh, clean and ready for bed! Was very happy to find the next morning after cleansing and moisturising my face as usual, that my makeup applied easier, and has stayed on better during the day! And, this balm is the only thing I have done differently! Amazing!

Tips: A little goes a long way, but even if you use more it never feels too much!

Nice, just not that great for me

I got this in the BRBB and was so excited to see it. I love Trilogy, and was looking forward to trying it. The tub is very pretty, just a simple brown pot with black lid and the Trilogy label on it. Once opened, the scent is lovely and subtle. I couldn't pinpoint anything in particular so had to cheat and read the ingredient list. i found that I had to use quite a bit more than reccommended to feel as though I was getting all of my face, it felt nice going on, but after I washed it off my skin felt a little bit dry and rough. I tried it a couple more times, thinking that it was just a one-off, but every time I used it was the same. So I'm not sure what it is about my skin that doesnt like this, but I will be passing it on to my mum - who will more than likely love this.

OBSESSED

I am crazy about this product. I have been using a cleansing oil for a while now which is great but I find it to be messy and I had seen cleansing balms floating around on YouTube so when I saw that this was due to be released I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I bought mine from farmers for the price stated ($38.90) I'm a big fan of Trilogy their products are great quality so I think that the price is worth it. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and have hardly made a dent in my jar I would say I could get 4 months out of it or more but I don't use it everyday. I really like the smell it's not over whelming I think it's quite a clean smell that doesn't linger on your skin. The key is to use this product on dry skin I take a piece about the size of what the old 5c pieces used to be and rub it all over my eyes face neck wherever I feel like and it's so gentle I'm pretty good at getting things in my eyes but this stuff doesn't sting. Don't rush with this product take your time let it really warm up and melt into your skin then focus it on areas with heavy make such as eyes, you want eye lash glue off no problem you have water proof mascara or a liquid lip piece of cake, it will get off everything with no trace left behind. Once it's all melted and smooth I take a warm not hot face cloth and wipe away honestly so simple the only thing is it does stain your light coloured face cloths so keep that in mind.. The face cloth it comes with is nice also not too rough. It leaves my skin so soft and moisturised, I do wait about 30 minutes then go in with a hydrating toner and rose hip oil (I am very dry) and let it absorb overnight and by the morning I'm good to go. If you are a dry skin girl/guy and want that clean feeling without feeling tight and dry give this a go it's 100% worth it.

Amazing

So recently id been wearing some pretty thick gross makeup due to halloween tutorials, im usually not to fond of oily products seeing as my skin is quite oily so it made me a little nervous. I decided to give it a go anyway there's no better time the month of October when the halloween makeup comes out. When i first opened the balm the scent was sweet i then applied straight to my skin and smooshed it all around, by then i sort of looked like id been crying constantly lol, then with the face cloth provided i added water and off it all came! simple, easy and effective!

Love this product

I'm a huge fan of their rosehip oil so really excited to get this in BRBB First impressions are great, it smells wonderful - not heavy and cloying. Never having used a balm type cleanser before I was concerned how well it would get off my makeup - especially my waterproof mascara and smudgeproof eyeliner - but it worked really well, and the little cotton facecloth is a great exfoliater! My skin felt really soft afterwards

Tips: Warm it in your hands before applying

A product you never knew you needed!

I got the Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm as part of the September Beauty box. I'm quite new to Trilogy, having moved over here from the UK, and, although I've never actually used anything from the brand, I've always seen it on shelves in fancy department stores. My normal cleansing routine is to either use a foaming cleanser in the shower or a cream cleanser, but using the Trilogy cleanser was a more luxurious experience altogether. Lightly scented, it melts in your hands and feels velvety on your skin, it melted away my make up including my water proof mascara. The organic face cloth is used to wipe away the product and your make up, the whole process made it feel like I was spending time on myself, rather than rushing my cleansing routine. I think it would be handy to have a couple of the face cloths as you should probably be washing them every few days, they can get quite grubby. I would definitely recommend this as a bit of luxury, you don't have to use a huge amount and you could 'ration it' to make it last longer.

Tips: Use quite warm water in your sink to wipe it off, this will make sure the oiliness of the product is wiped from your face completely.

This is fantastic, much more than I hoped

I'm a recent convert to the miracle that is oil cleansing, when I saw this balm released I had mixed feelings but knew I had to give it a try, find the final one of the shelves at Farmers I grabbed it only to find it arrive the following week in the BRBB so now I have 2, which is awesome as I freaking love it already.

Packaging wise the actual balm comes in a lightweight jar, in a semi opaque smoky glass effect plastic. It's short and stubby, round and has a screw off lid. The outer boxing that the jar comes in also has a Trilogy cotton face cloth that is super fine and lightweight but effective for removing the balm, makeup and grime from your face.

Formula wise the balm is set into the jar in a solid waxy state, on first glance it looks a lot like their Trilogy everything balm which confused me, but once I dipped my fingers into the balm I found that it melted almost immediately with my body heat, so that once rubbed between my palms had transformed from a solid wax state to a liquid oil state. There is a very faint scent of mixed florals like lilac and roses but nothing that is overpowering.

Following instructions I apply the balm over my dry unwashed face and massage into all areas concentrating on heavy makeup and waterproof spots. The balm massages nice and easily into the skin so you feel like you are giving yourself a mini spa treatment each time you wash your face. Leaving it to get to work as I submerged the cloth in warm water, then pressing the cloth into my skin slightly rubbing to effectively remove the mess upon my face. The colour of the water in the sink is a huge indication of how much rubbish the balm manages to lift off and out of your skin.

There was no resistance to eye makeup including mascara and liners, of which I tried waterproof versions too. I also did a full face Halloween look over the weekend with multiple layers of makeup and shadows to find that the balm removed it all in one take!!

Highly impressed and with no signs of any breakouts or irritation this is bound to be a product that will be on my bathroom counter for a long time.

Make up be gone

I got this in the Beauty Box and was so pleased to receive it. I love Trilogy, and was looking forward to trying it. The tub is very basic and is an amber plastic pot with black lid and the Trilogy label on it.It comes in a box with a small face cloth included. The scent is really light and subtle and a lovely waxy texture. It felt really nice and melted in with the warmth of my skin. I followed the instruction and used the little face cloth that was included in the box warmed with water to remove the cream. My skin felt really lovely and clean and I felt it gave the effect you get when you go and have a professional facial. I absolutely love this product and my skin has never felt softer . My mascara and eye makeup just melted away with no residue to worry about. At $39 it initially appears expensive but it is a reasonable size pot and you do not need a lot to cleanse your face.

Tips: Your body heat dissolves the product and as it warms spreads easily so don't use too much.You can always add a little more once it has melted
