When we were all first given the stay-at-home orders back in March, I completely abandoned my daily beauty routine. With the exception of cleansing and moisturizing, everything else–including wearing makeup–went out the window.
That all changed a few weeks ago as I began to crave some sense of normalcy. No, I wasn’t actually going to an office every day or seeing very many people, but why should that stop me from putting on a little mascara, brow gel, blush and lipstick every day? And I have to tell you, it’s done wonders for my mood. Just having that little piece of my old life back made me feel better.
Of course now that I was wearing makeup again, I needed to step up my nighttime cleansing. Thankfully, I got my hands on a jar of Monat’s Makeup Vanishing Balm™ and let me tell you, it definitely lives up to the hype. Get this: Monat sold over 58,000 units of this makeup remover in just two weeks!
What makes Monat’s Makeup Vanishing Balm™ so good? A few things. First, the texture is so incredible. Unlike some makeup removing balms that can feel oily or greasy, Monat’s is ridiculously lightweight and airy. It easily melts into your skin in just a few seconds and when you wipe it away it doesn’t leave behind any oiliness or greasy residue.
That silky smooth texture is also really great because it means the balm dissolves makeup super easily without a lot of rubbing or scrubbing required. My black eyebrow gel? Waterproof mascara? No match for this gentle makeup remover that melts it all away in less than a minute.
Makeup removing properties aside, Monat’s Makeup Vanishing Balm™ is also made with lots of clean, good-for-skin ingredients. There are natural fruit acids–also known as AHAs–which are derived from sugar, mango, banana and cajá to gently exfoliate your skin for a brighter, more refreshed complexion.
If you’re still wearing makeup too, then you need to get your hands on Monat’s Makeup Vanishing Balm™. Trust me, you’ll retire your current makeup remover once you try this one; it’s that good.
