Trilogy Everything Balm Review

This is honestly my must have item all year round! I love everything about it - the packaging, the smell, the feel of the product and what it can be used for.

I found myself using it on my lips as a balm, on my elbows/knees for dry/rough places, I used it on my nail cuticles to soften them, I used it as a hand cream and sometimes a body moisturiser. I felt like the uses wouldn't end there!

I found it so useful and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an all in one product for dry skin.

I was lucky enough to receive this item in a Black Box from Sample Co, And first off it smells delicious, smells like lemon grass, I found that i couldnt get much out of the tin at first and i wasnt sure ow much to use, it felt a wee bit too oily on my skin, I tried it on my sons skin (1 year old) and it cleared up some of his dryness straight away so was perfect for him !

Trilogy is arguably NZs most successful local brand and Everything Balm is a big part of that. This product is a really good idea, but ultimately, not something I find myself using very much.

The pros? This product is ethically produced and NZ made, with lots of lovely nurturing ingredients. It is a complete multi-tasker that can be used for everything (should that be Everything?) from lip balm to eyebrow gel.

The cons? Honestly, I find it too sticky to use for anything but a lip balm - and it's a really big pot to carry around for lip balm. I have tried using it as hand cream but it's so heavy and sticky that I find I've washed my hands and removed the product before it has actually sunk in. Maybe the fault is partly my own for not being creative enough with my use of Everything Balm, but for me it's more Big Pot of Lip Balm.

Nowadays, my go to 'fix it' is rosehip oil - but for a long time before that I'd turn to Trilogy Everything Balm. Now that I'm actually sitting down to review it, I'm thinking I need to repurchase!

Rosehip oil is actually an ingredient in this versatile, pleasantly scented product. You scoop out the desired amount, and liquify it by warming it in your hands. It can then be applied as a lipgloss, moisturiser, on scars etc etc. I found it great on those little scratches, scars, bug bites etc.

Although there is a pricetag for this that looks pricey, it's actually one of those 'a little goes a long way' deals, so even the smaller size will allow you a lot of use.

The pottle itself is a handy little screwtop that is lightweight and manages to look classy even though it's essentially a plastic tub. Trilogy are great for understated packaging without garish colours or OTT imagery and this is no exception.

The cream can be a little greasy on application, but absorbs readily enough and is therefore not 'too greasy' - it's a very light residue.

I really like this balm! Its really lovely as a lip balm (tastes nice too), taming eyebrows and a good natural alternative to where you would use vaseline.Its also great for using on a sore nose when you've got a rotten head cold and blow your nose too much- super soothing and moisturising. I like that this is full of natural oils and feel comfortable using this on my super sensitive skin! Only thing is it may not be super hygienic if you are using it in different areas of the body- so something like a spatula or wiping the top layer clean every so often may not be a bad idea!

I got this after reading that huge amount of gushy reviews about it here. I have mainly been using it on my feet which are such a pain to keep hydrated and other bits like my elbows and bits that need a bit more than your average moisturiser. The balm is lovely and a little does go a long way but I do tend to use more than I need to but it's not hurting anyone. My elbows and a weird dry spot I had on my arm are doing way better and are softer and nicer to touch. This really is a bit of a holy grail for my feet. They are impossible and I have to deal to them every week or two. Using Trilogy Everything Balm on them has made them stay in much better shape between home pedi's and they are nowhere near as dry and yuck. I also had a strange spotty rash show up on my thighs which was there for a few days until I put this on it. I put the balm on one night at bedtime and when I got up in the morning it was gone. The scent of this is okay I'm not really very fussed on it. It's very heavy in essential oils so might not be great for people sensitive to them. It does of course have an oily texture to it but it soaks into my skin incredibly well and you don't end up leaving oily smudge marks everywhere. I do dig this out with the tip of a nail file because I find it difficult to get out. It would be great if it came with a little spatula like the mineral radiance mask does but that's my only gripe. I will certainly be keeping a pot of this around in the future it's a very handy little find.

I love this product so much. The smell, the feel of it on my skin, and how well it works - it really is perfect for everything ! The only thing I don't like so much is the application - I feel like it gets grubby having so much of it exposed in the little jar. Also it's a bit difficult to carry in your pocket ! Otherwise this is one of the nicest things I've ever used, and it really does work on everything.

I've used this product for 2 days and everywhere I have used it is already so much smoother and softer. I love the feel of it especially on my lips. I find my lips dry out very quickly and this one is one that really lasts. Also great for my elbows. I have never used a cream that softens my skin on my elbows and this does woohoo

I was given a tub of Everything Balm as a gift and actually kind of forgot about it for a few weeks until my husband requested a head massage. I saw the tub sitting on the table and thought it'd use it to help the massage. Glad I did because not only does it make an excellent massage cream but my skin just drinks it- especially my legs. I use it all the time now but still really love it for shoulder rubs etc. Smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling dewy and firm for hours after use.

I have been using this for the last five years. I have a pots in my office, work bag, bedside table, and floating around the house. I love this, so great and versatile, a lip balm to hand cream. love the feeling of it on my skin and once it warms with your body heat it rubs in without any effort. Has an amazing smell.
