Hi my lovelies hope you are all having a fab day! So before I
get into todays post, I have news! I bought my own domain passionsandpreening
is now a dot com, how fancy I hear you say!! Also I will be changing design and
layout the next few weeks so there is change ahead for this wee blog!
Today I have a review of the Body Shop Cleansing Butter
which has become a firm favourite in my routine the past few months. It was the
first balm cleanser I have tried and I have to say I have been converted. It is said to be a good cheaper alternative to
the Clinique Take The Day off Balm which is pricey at £22 for 155ml of product
in comparison to the £13 for 90ml for the Body Shop. The Body Shop have offers
on throughout the year where you can get 30% off and if you are on o2 mobile
network then you can sometimes get o2 priority moments to get the same
discounts.
So what do I actually think of the cleanser?
I use this at night time, if I am wearing heavy makeup I use
the cleansing oil in the same range first and follow with this, but if it is
light or none at all I will just do a single cleanse with the balm. You will
find out what works best for you. It is really gentle and I can rub it over my
sensitive eyes with no irritation whatsoever which is a huge plus for me. Obviously
everyones eyes are different and you should take care when using it to
initially see how your eyes work with it and stop using on eye area if any
irritation occurs. It easily melts make up off and is gentle to take off.
I take a pea size amount in my palm and it turns from solid
to a lovely oil as you apply. With the balm I use my Magnitone Lucid and I feel
this really works it into the skin well. I will then rinse off well using a
warm muslin cloth.
One thing I would say is even if you rinse well there is
still a small film feeling on your skin. This may put a lot of people off, but
as I use this at night it doesn’t bother me and I feel it just gives another
layer of hydration.
Overall I really like this butter cleanser, it leaves my
skin clean and requires minimal effort on my part. I think it offers great value for money and
the tin will last a good while.
Have you tried this cleanser or is there anything else you
would recommend?
