Like yin and yang, peanut butter and jelly, jeans and t-shirt – some things go hand-in-hand. Now, add to this dynamic duo list: makeup and makeup remover.
I’ve told you about my all-time favorite foundation – MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation that can last up to a whopping 24 hours. That is some powerful endurance and we need just as powerful a makeup remover to take that all off. Clinique’s Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover will have you feeling assured that even the most persistent makeup and sunscreen will be removed to leave you fresh-faced and ready for your skincare routine.
Clinique’s cleansing balm comes in a sleek and calming lavender jar that is a generous size of 3.8 oz/125 mL. It feels waxy to the fingers when you begin but then it turns silky and melts away makeup and sunscreen. Long-lasting foundation, smokey-eye makeup, and lipstick – be gone!
I’ve tried this in the shower and at the sink, and I definitely recommend using this cleansing balm at the sink when your face is not wet. Yes, it’s more convenient just to brush your teeth, remove makeup, etc. all at once in the shower, but you can literally feel makeup melt off your dry face at the sink more than when you’re face is wet. The cleansing balm goes from a white, waxy solid to a silky smooth, oil form.
Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover is an Allure 2021: Clean Beauty Winner. It is fragrance-free, formulated without Sulfates SLS & SLES, allergy tested, and is vegan.
Price (approx.): $34 for 3.8 oz./ 125 mL
