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.
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.
Tips: Does not remove easily, a facial scrub helps a lot to get this product off your face.
