Happy Monday everyone! Now I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite parts of the day. Is when I get to take my makeup off. Now don’t get me wrong. I love putting makeup on. But I also really love taking it off. I love that feeling when you get home from a particularly busy or stressful day. And you get changed into your pjs, can take your bra off and then go about cleaning all the makeup off your face. It’s just pure bliss for me. And reminds me that it’s not too long until I can relax in bed.
I also think one of the reasons I love taking my makeup off so much. Is that I get to use some really lovely products. Now I’ll admit that as a beauty blogger, I’m incredibly lucky to get to try so many different amazing skincare products. But one of my all time favourites for removing makeup and cleansing my skin. Has to the be the cult classic from Clinique. Their take the day off cleansing balm has been a staple in my skincare collection for a while now. And I just love using it to remove my makeup.

You only need a tiny amount of this balm, but a little really does go a long way. And it honestly removes everything. Even waterproof mascara. And it just leaves my skin looking and feeling so clean and so soft. It’s my fail safe cleansing balm that I turn to when I’m taking my skincare routine back to basics.
And if you’ve yet to try this before, then you’re in luck. As on Thursday and Friday this week, John Lewis are giving away a free 15ml version of the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. There’s no purchase necessary, you just need to pop along to the Clinique counter in John Lewis and pick one up. It’s an amazing opportunity to try this iconic cleansing balm. As the mini’s are perfect for travel and not normally available on counters.

Have you tried this cleansing balm before? Are you planning on picking up your free one this week?





Nooooo!!!! I’m home visiting my family in France then! This is my favourite makeup remover balm and I’d love a travel-friendly version! I know I can pick this one up from Sephora, but it costs about ยฃ11 so…
I have not tried this cleansing balm before, I might have to pop into John Lewis and pick up a free sample to try x
Will have to show this to my wife and see what she thinks!
I love taking my make up off and the right balm can make removing makeup an easier process. I like the sound of this Clinique version x
Oh my goodness how cute is that mini! I may just have to try and think up a reason I need to go to John Lewis later this week.
I have never tried this or any Clinique products in fact. It does sound pretty good though
oh ive not tried this but love Clinique!
I have not tried this product but Clinique is a good make and one I love using.
Ooh i’ve heard SO much about this cleansing balm. I tend to prefer cream formulas but would definitely give it a try anyway xxx
I’ve not tried Cliniques, but balm is really popular now. I have a different brand and it’s brilliant and so easy to use.
Ooo I’d love to try that out, will definitely pop into John Lewis and pick up a sample.
Never tried this before, but I will deffo be picking one up asap ๐ x
I love products like the balm that are not only effective but also efficient so not much is needed. I’m going to find my nearest John Lewis store. Hopefully I will get my hands on one of these.
This is definitely something I would love to use as my skin gets so so dry so this would hydrate it so well! Definitely need to try it
I love the feeling of taking my makeup off! I don’t think I’ll be around a John Lewis either of those days to grab one though, shame!
I love travel friendly products like this. I will definitely be picking some of that up.
Omg, I heard about this from my niece she had a beautiful review for this product and I really want to try this too.
I’ve never actually tried a balm before and usually use micellar water or a gel cleanser. Might give this a go!
Awwh I love how it looks in the cute lilac tub!! I’ve tried balms before not this one as I have been on a natural ingredients things for a while but this sounds delightful!
I absolutely love Clinique and use so many of their products but have yet to try this one! It sounds absolutely amazing though, and I know it would make my evening routine so much easier x
I need to try this asap! I have a similar one from Fresh! It cleanses my skin so well!
I couldn’t agree more with you about the importance of being able to just wipe the day off, literally. I must go pick up a travel size of this! I hope they don’t run out by the time I go. xx
so many good reviews about this, i need to try it. well get the mini size first ๐
My mummy has never tried Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm however the way you describe taking your make-up off has really sold this product to her. She loves that feeling so hopefully can pick a pot up! x
I like the look and the sounds of this balm, especially the fact it removes everything including mascara. I always struggle with it ๐
I love Clinique products! This sounds great, will have to try it.
I wish I’d seen this earlier as it sounds amazing and I would have LOVED to pick up a free one. Never mind, I’ll save some pennies and treat myself to a full sized one I think. I love cleansing balms anyway ๐
