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.
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!
