So I am coming to the end of this 200mls cleansing balm - I am scraping the so called barrel, although it is a plastic jar.
I rather like the jar, yes it is plastic, but it is a sturdy, solid plastic with a silver lid and importantly for me it is wider than it is tall, not by much, but enough to allow easy access for those final scrapings.
The texture is oily buttery, a bit like butter that has been refridgerated, there is a solidity to it, so that it does not immediately turn into an oil which I rather commend it for. There is sufficient slip for a decent massage.
It emulsifies into a thick milk. And it removes makeup efficiently, a couple of passes but that is to be expected.
It is strongly scented, to my nose geranium comes to the fore, and this is my problem, it is just too strongly scented for me.
Which is sad because this is a good cleansing balm - maybe a little on the drying side post cleanse, but I like the texture and the packaging and the effectiveness, just not the smell and often that is the deal breaker.
It does come with two excellent face cloths, denser than most and a little on the small size their close weave makes them both effective but gentle.
Currently £39.50 for 105g but I purchased mine from QVC for £44.52 (+ £4.95 p+p) for 200g.
