I like the idea of being to remove my makeup quickly and completely - so I was super excited when I got to try this in one of the beauty boxes - it sounded right up my alley...unfortunately it wasn't really for me.
The concept was great...apply to face, work it around, then remove it with water and the supplied cloth. While it seemed to remove most of my foundation, I found it super difficult to remove my eye make up, especially my mascara. I found that I was still having to use make up remover wipes to remove whatever make up was left on my face.
The facecloth was slightly redundant as well. While it did help to remove some of the product, being that it was white, after one use it was dirty - and I mean dirty (especially with the removal of the make up I use on a daily basis).
While this wasn't for me, it may work better for someone who doesn't wear as much make up, because for me and my full daily made up face, it didn't really remove enough product for me to justify using it!
I, like many others, received this in the September BRBB and I was stoked - Everything I've tried of Trilogy's is awesome, so I was so pleased to see this in the box. It came with a gorgeously soft facial cloth as well, and I love it!
The product is in a 80ml jar which is surprisingly heavy for the product, but as a balm I suppose it's to be expected. The lid twists off and you're greeted with a lovely pale golden yellow color and the heavenly smell of roses hits you slowly, faster if you decide to have a good sniff.
The balm is exactly that, a balm. It's thick, but it melts easily at the touch and you can easily scoop some out. However that's what I don't like about this product, I prefer my cleansers with a pump as it seems slightly more hygienic.
This rubs in smoothly to the face and you don't notice it getting rid of your makeup until its gone! However. I don't think it does a very good job, as I feel like I have to use more than the recommended amount to get my mascara off. It doesn't melt my mascara like Bossy does, which was my favorite at the time. I used a maybe half a teaspoon, most of it on my eyes, and my mascara stayed firmly put.
This also hurt my eyes, but that was the only place it hurt so I must not have taken it all off. It was a lovely product but sadly it had a poor performance and I wouldn't buy it with my own money.
