first balm ive tried and i love it
I was nervous to try a melting ball just because I have dry and sometimes sensitive skin but this is such a good balm. Didn’t break me out, took off all my makeup, and didn’t make my skin feel tight but soft :)

Love this especially in the winter
Love this product especially in the winter as it allows me to clean my skin with less water. Which I feel like seals in more moisture.

Nice!
I received this as a free product promotion and it’s a silky-feeling balm that helps hydrate the skin while breaking up the makeup. I use a damp, warm microfiber cloth with it because using just water to rinse, doesn’t break through the slick film it leaves as well. It is also good for the first step in a “double cleanse.”

Nice cleansing balm
I got a mini for free with my last order and I tried it for the first time and I’m surprised. This cleansing balm smells really nice and feels really nice and does the job really good. I will be buying this one when I finish the mini version.

So smooth!
Love this! It’s not lumpy, it melts easily, it’s so smooth and easy to spread around. Totally replaces high end makeup removing balms!

My favorite melting balm!
I’m truly obsessed with this melting balm! I’ve tried many different brands, but I always come back to this one. It’s so gentle on the face, yet it’s so good since it removes all of your make up! I will forever be purchasing this product!

Gentle but effective cleansing balm that melts mak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm removes makeup easily, even stubborn eye and lip products. The texture melts smoothly into the skin without tugging and rinses clean without leaving a greasy residue. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and not irritated after use, and I didn’t experience any breakouts.

Gets the toughest waterproof macara off in seconds!
If you wear waterproof makeup this is a MUST MUST MUST. I spent so much time taking off waterproof mascara but not anymore! Came off in seconds after rubbing in. No residue! I can’t believe this good of a product exists!

Holy makeup melter
This is amazing! Creamy texture that turns a bit oily (in a good way!) when applied. You just need a tiny pea amount and it took all my makeup off (foundation, mascara, eyeliner, shadow).. just poof gone! My skin is super sensitive and extremely dry (just healing from an allergic reaction to retinol) and it felt amazing on my face. Gentle rubbing with my hands, no roughness of a microfiber cloth or cotton ball to get that difficult mascara and eyeliner off.

Good formula
The formula is really creamy and it leaves a oily sensation on the skin after using it, not really sure if it’s a good or bad thing but the product is good, it has the applicator and a big quantity

Takes my makeup off with ease
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a night out, the one thing I hate to do is wash my face and take my makeup off. This makeup melting balm helps it come off so smoothly, but also leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I also love that it comes with a little scoop in the packaging to help you only take out what you need. A little goes along way with this!
