Clinique "Take The Day Off" Cleansing Balm: Review!

Spoiler Alert! 
This stuff is amazing!!


Above is what it looks like. It is a huge tub of this stuff. It is a 3.8 ounce or 125 ml container. It costs $28.50 at Clinique and Sephora. So it's a little pricey but it will last you forever! You hardly need any at all. I have been using it for about a week now and have barely made a dent in it. You only need to use about a quarter size to remove a full face of make up and way less than that to take off a little make up. I also use it to just take off the dirt that builds up on my face when I don't have any make up on at all and when you do that it you barely need any at all. 

What it does is break down your make up super fast. You just massage it into your skin all over your face and then you just rinse it off with warm water. I put mine on before I get in the shower. I just find that to be the easy way to do it. But to each their own. The product itself is a solid, hard balm. Once you start to work it onto your skin however, it turns into a oil that breaks down all of your make up. It is a non-greasy formula and Clinique says that it is for all skin types. It seems like it would be greasy since it turns into an oil but after you rinse it off your skin feels healthy and moisturized. It is also non-drying which I really like. Most of the skin products that I have used in the past to remove make up leaves my face feeling dry or sticky. But this just makes my skin feel fresh and renewed. It is even safe to use on your eyes! Obviously you don't want to massage it on your eyes like you would your face but it removes eye make up to. So for me this product has become a must have because it is two steps in one. It takes off your make up and cleans your face!

The only draw back to this product, and it's not really a draw back (to me anyway), is that I have a hard time getting off my mascara. But that is something I have found true with all make up removers. I wear a lot of mascara, like four coats. It's ridiculous. But right now I have been wearing Benefit "They're Real". I have always had a hard time getting mascara off especially water proof ones. So for me, I just apply it directly to my eyelashes and let it soak in and then rub it gently and it breaks most of it down. It mostly comes off with the warm water in the shower but when I get out there is still a little bit of raccoon eyes going on. So I just rub my finger in there a little bit and gently rub it around my eyes and on my lashes and gone is the remnants of my mascara. So it is still mush easier for me than other make up removers. 

So all in all, I friggin LOVE this product. I don't think that they have it in stores at sephora but it is on their website and I am sure you can get it at any Clinique counter. I defiantly recommend that you give it a try and see how it goes. It is also better for your skin than all of the other products that dry out your skin!
