Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm Review

Wow, just wow I had heard about this cleanser on a lot of social media leading up to its release and I waws super excited to recieve this as a full size product in the BRBB. I don't use this everyday as I feel that it is a bit too much for removing everyday makeup, but I love love love it for removing a full face of makeup. It is so easy to remove makeup with this balm, you just heat the product between your hands and them rub it all over your face, similar to if you were moisturising concentrating on areas with heavier/stubborn makeup such as matte lippy or mascara. Then just wipe it away and you are good to go, it smells lovely and leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth and moisturised. Gone are the days of scrubbing your face to remove every thing, you dont use much so even though this is a bit pricey I feel like it will last a long time!

I didn't think that I could find a better cleanser than I already had, but this product is top shelf! It's a wax type of cleanser that is so easy to use, and effective. You just take 1/4 teaspoon of wax and rb it all over your face. It literally meets your makeup and gives you the best panda eyes until you use a warm organic cotton face cloth (which is provided) to wipe the face clean. There is no harsh rubbing and ithe cloth is so soft. The ingredients that make up this cleanser and a decadent combination of heaven. Rose hip, mango and coconut. It smells Devine and really nourishes my skin.

I was a bit skeptical about this product when I opened the pot. It looked to heavy. However, once I had used it to remove some waterproof mascara and eye liner, I was sold. It very quickly goes from a solid waxy feel to a warm, smooth balm that dissolves even the toughest makeup just about straight away. It is not difficult to wipe off and I found my skin did not have that dry tight feeling afterwards. Bonus for me is that it has no chemicals or other synthetic additives. The best out of the September box for me!

I was very excited to try this product. I don't have any other make up removal products so this was an added bonus to my dressing table. The first time I used it , worked magically! You do need to wash your face with your regular face wash to have it work well I would say. The second time i used it, I put it straight onto my face without trying to wash it first and that wasn't a good idea. left my face oily and the make up ended up all on the cloth and I couldn't wash it off. It works best for that make up you miss when you wash your face. I would use this product again for that exact use.

I'm totally in love with this product. It's natural, kind on my skin and it takes my days worth of make up off without a trace. A lovely creamy formula that you rub over your entire face eyes included (no eye irritation), a nice warm cloth and a clean face without dryness. So gentle on the skin, I am prone to dry skin and this cream doesn't strip any moisture probably adds some. I will definitely be using this product again.

When I saw another Trilogy product in the box I was really happy to see it in there. What I enjoy about Trilogy is that its made in New Zealand and its certified by Bio Gro. My skin type is dry . I've only tried wipes,cleansers and oils for make up removal. I've never seen a balm before. This product is fairly new from Trilogy .

This balm comes in a brown plastic container with the Trilogy branding on it. On the outside of it says that the ingredients are rosehip,mango and coconut. This also came with a cloth. The texture of this balm is like a waxy semi solid consistency. It smells to me like rose and herbs. Has a very natural smell to it.

I normally heat this trilogy cloth under warm running water. Meanwhile I rubthe balm in the palms of my hands to heat it up. I smooth it out all over my face. I put the cloth over my face and gently rub any make up off.

This balm gives my skin so much moisture. This balm did successfully remove all my make up. I enjoyed the addition of the cloth. I thought this was a unique idea to add that in with this cleanser. I enjoy the natural smell it has. I would definately buy it .

This definitely isn't the type of product I would normally buy for myself, but since using it I'm contemplating repurchasing after I finish it!

I've been using to remove my makeup when my skin is feeling a bit drier and needs a bit of extra attention. The balm is so silky on the skin!

It definitely removes all makeup - even waterproof mascara! I normally find that baby-oil is the best to remove my mascara, but this works just as well.

I almost don't want to write this review because it feels ungrateful... but I genuinely can't warm to this product :(

The Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm was the item I was probably the most excited about in the September BRBB - and the one I had been dying to buy and try.

It comes with a neutral coloured facecloth for wiping away the oil post application, which is unremarkable - it promptly became obvious that I could interchange it with any of my face cloths for the same result.

The product comes in a brown plastic screw top jar with a white and red label, in keeping with the theme of most of the brands packaging. It's a classy enough product in terms of aesthetic appeal - though I will add that the concept of a cleansing product you need to dip your fingers into isn't my fave.

The balm is really quite solid - think coconut oil - in it's consistency and so you need to actively scrape out an amount to use. You then melt it in your hands and apply it to your face once it has liquified - making it hard to put the lid back on the jar until after you're done!

The reasons I don't really like this product (and it's totally a personal thing, I'm not for a second trying to imply it's not worth a go, simply that it doesn't suit me) come in with application. I find that compared to liquid oil cleansers this is very heavy, and sits on my skin feeling a bit gluggy no matter how little I use. I find that it doesn't remove my eye makeup well, and I need to go in after with micellar water etc... I *do* wear some pretty intense blacks on my eyes sometimes but this struggles even with my lighter gel liners etc.

It doesn't rinse away as cleanly as the liquid oil cleansers, and when I wipe it away it leaves a film - I find that it definitely needs to be followed with another cleanser, which - when there are products which handle both tasks - seems like a flaw in a comparatively expensive product.

Post application my skin retains a slightly oily feel - not excessive, but it doesn't feel 100% clean, which is disappointing.

The positives are the blend of ingredients = rosehip, mango, coconut, sunflower, olive.... clearly Trilogy have gone out of their way to source and combine the current list of natural 'in-products', which shows an attention to current research and trends, as well as a market awareness that I love seeing from brands. Trilogy are kiwi too, which is always great, and they're natural. The product is a generous size, so if you love it then the steep pricetag becomes more affordable worked out on a cost-per use basis. Also, it smells divine!

Conclusion: this product and my skin (which tends towards oily at times and is much less acne prone lately but broke out like mad using this) don't agree, but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying as there are so many positives.

I scored this in the September BRBB and I was curious as soon as I read about it on the card. I didn't really expect great things to be honest but had heard/read such great things about Trilogy that I was itching to take my make up off that night! I was a little perplexed & skeptical about how a balm & what feels & looks like Vaseline would remove all my make up & leave my face clean....

Well it does indeed remove make up - I still find I need to remove my eye make up - mostly mascara with an appropriate cleanser but everything else does just kind of melt off.

I do find myself cleansing still afterwards though & that's possibly more due to the fact that I don't feel clean from it. It kind of leaves my skin feeling a bit oily & slick & I hate that feeling.

The packaging is lovely. It's a tub with a screw cap lid, it'll be really easy to get every last bit of this out. It came with a little flannel that I don't really bother using - needs a few washes before it's going to be effective for a start & I feel it's just really too small to be taking the cake off my face.

The balm it's self is like a Vaseline consistency but maybe a little more solid. It has a subtle smell.

I don't think I would pay the near on $40 for this... I feel that's a little too expensive for it but all in all it's a nice product, easy to use and fairly hassle free.
