I was lucky enough to pick this up in the beauty vault after I missed out on the trial team for it and I'm so happy I got it!!
First of all, I appreciate that it comes in a robust, metal tin, the screw on lid means I can keep it in my bathroom without the moisture affecting the product.
The product itself is solid, but it is soft to scoop out, it is oil based so if you warm it up by rubbing your fingers together for a few seconds then it will melt. It does have a small fragrance which I can't quiet put my finger on, but it doesn't bother me nor does it linger on the skin.
I use this all over my face to help remove foundation, as well as eye make up. I was worried that as this is an oil based product it would break me out, but I had no problems with acne or break outs related to this product. It easily breaks up make up and works especially well on waterproof eye make up.
You do need to remove this product with a face cloth as water won't rinse it off. It comes off easily with a damp face cloth and leaves your skin feeling quiet clean, it doesn't dry out my skin or irritate my eyes either.
The only negative thing I have to say about this is if you try to rinse the product off (such as getting it off your hands) the product will solidify a bit and won't wash off, you really do need to use a damp face cloth.
You don't need a huge amount of this either, and as you get a large tin it will last a while. I will definitely be repurchasing this.
I got this in the July rewards vault and I'm so glad I picked it up! I heard a friend of mine rave about it so i thought I'd give it a try.
I've used coconut oil to remove make-up before, which was pretty similar to how this works (largely because a main ingredient is coconut oil) but it just feels so much nicer afterwards. It's not as thick/heavy as coconut oil and it doesn't stick to my skin as much as coconut oil did. It does what it says it would. I scoop a small bit out, warm it up in my hands then spread/massage it all over my face. It dissolves all your make up, even stubborn mascara.
Once I've dissolved and smudged my makeup all over my face, I get wet a facecloth with warm water and just hold it over my face for a few seconds, this just helps break down the balm more and makes it easier to wipe off. I then wipe my face and cleanse.
I love the packaging of this too! Goodness do such a good job of that. I also love how the product is natural.
When I run out I will certainly be purchasing again. I love this!
