Goodness Break-up Make-up Balm Review

I tried this after getting a beauty box from MakeupObsessives, and fell in love with it almost immediately. The texture is light and melts into your skin so quickly yet removes your makeup so well. I tend to add a small amount of water to make it into a milky emulsion before wiping off. I also love that you only need to use a small amount of it and that the price point is so reasonable that I will repurchase when my current tin runs out.

I never would have purchased this product had it not been included in the BBBE Gamble Box. I’m so glad it was because it’s now my go-to balm. Prior to this, I was using the Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm, same thing, but at the higher end of the spectrum.

It comes in a handy tin with the brand’s typical fun twists of lime green colours. The only issue I have with this packaging is I find that the lid is not very secure; I have to put quite a bit of pressure to close it. I hate dipping my fingers into tubs of product so I reuse the Omorovicza spatula to scoop out the yellow product. The balm has a lovely fragrance which reminds me of a light blend of lemon, orange and grapefruit.

I want to make it very clear that I always remove my make up with facial wipes first before going in with the balm; that’s just my preference. What’s the point of using the balm then? For me, it’s purely to remove what I’ve missed with the facial wipes and it really does a fantastic job while leaving my skin feeling supple.

When melting the product in my hands, it feels somewhat gritty but it melts away within seconds. I smooth the product over my skin and it feels AMAZING - just like silky oil - I can seriously just stand there and massage my face for quite some time; it feels that good! Once I’m back to reality I remove the balm with a warm cloth in the shower.

I have tried removing my makeup with just the balm alone and it performs well however I feel that I’m just creating more of a mess that it doesn’t really break through all the layers. This doesn’t mean it’s not good, it just means you either repeat the session or remove the rest with facial wipes or a warm cloth. I’d rather just have a clean face the first time round by removing with facial wipes then going in with the balm. This product is now a staple and for such an affordable price and easy to access I’d be silly not to recommend it.

I was fortunate enough to get this break up balm from the July beauty vault, and I love it! The pottle is quite large being roughly the size of a hockey puck but deeper, and I can see the balm lasting me a long time because there is so much of it. It smells fresh like grassy wildflowers (not floral, per say, but very natural). This smell is very gentle and reminds me of a spa treatment.

In the pottle the balm looks like hard wax but it scoops out quite easily and melts on your fingers very fast, quite like straight coconut oil. Luckily is doesn't feel as heavy as straight coconut oil though. The only question mark for me is over the directions, it says to use on a clean dry face. I'm not sure about other people, but I usually take off my make up before cleansing my face. I tried using the balm after cleansing and it does get rid of that pesky leftover waterproof mascara that a cleanser doesn't do, but now I use the balm before cleansing anyway.

I like to use it on my eye make up (as I'm often not wearing full face make up) and it works very well - within a few seconds of massaging it around my eyes I get big panda eyes! Then using a warm cloth I can gently wipe it all off. I really like how gentle I can be with this balm so I don't damage the skin around my eyes. I was also very impressed that it didn't sting my eyes at all and I don't react to it (I have very sensitive skin so this is a biggie).

All up I am very VERY happy with this product and will definitely buy again once I've finished my current tub. A total WIN!

It'll be a cold day in hell for me to give up my Clinique Take the Day Off Balm, but it did snow on Mt Hutt in the middle of summer, so here we are.

The scent reminds me of the day spa and this certainly gets ALL of the makeup off your face, and its so luxurious using a warm flannel to remove it and all the makeup. It melts even matte lipsticks, stubborn eyeshadows and I'm sure its soooo good it could erase your internet browsing history (maybe not that good...).

My only gripe is that in warmer weather, in an ensuite that gets afternoon sun, it starts to melt and that does bug me because I prefer it at the more solid end of the spectrum.

I got this from one of the Rewards Vaults, lucky me! I use it probably once or twice a week when I'm feeling pretty lazy with my cleansing routine late at night. I just find this less hassle to use than other cleansers. Another bonus is it's great to take away with you - no risk of it spilling all through your back, as has sadly happened with some other products in my experience! This is so easy to slather on and massage in to the skin for a bit. I love the smell and it feels super nourishing on the skin. I then wash it off either with warm water or a cleansing wipe - it really does work efficiently at getting rid of all the makeup and grime. My skin always feels really soft and clean afterwards.

I tried this product a wee while ago as I wanted to try the Clinique take the day off balm - however it was unavailable. This was the next closest I could find and it did not disappoint!

The Goodness balm is set firmly in a tin - which I preferred as this could be recycled easier than the plastic others are packaged in. Using this product almost daily lasted me roughly 6mo before I had to dispose of it. I stored the product in the shower as I found it easier to use there - however I believe that is what ultimately led to some mild growing in the tin :(

While I did enjoy the product (and actually found it removed better than its Clinique dupe) I will not likely repurchase - mostly due to enjoying micellar products more.

Comes in a screw top tin. Melts instantly on hands and face making it easy use (no clumpy bits). Removes everything amazingly well except mascara. I was a bit disappointed with how little it actually worked on my eyes.
