UltraBland Review

Ultra bland (not exactly the most appealing name..) was my first experience of Lush skin care and I’ve got mixed opinions on it.

This was recommended to me by the lovely people in my local Lush who said it was suitable for all skin types and it’d be perfect for my dry skin as it was incredibly moisturising, you can get it on their website or at your local Lush at £6.10 for 45g or £9.75 for 100ml which I thought was pretty reasonable as that’s about average for a make up remover.

This make up remover is extremely hydrating as the creamy texture turns to an oil with the heat of your face – I know the idea of using an oil based product to remove your make up doesn’t sound too good but it’s meant to be the best type of product to use. And this definitely does remove all my make up, with it even managed to take off my eye make up and waterproof mascara!
(I’ve been using this near enough every day for over 2 months)

I only really have one issue with this as a make up remover and that’s the fact it’s very moisturising, which I know should be good for my skin but when I remove my make up I want my skin to feel squeaky clean and then I can hydrate it later with a moisturiser. Apart from that I do really like this and I’ll definitely finish off my tub although it may take me awhile as you only need a little bit so it lasts forever

Overall I doubt I’ll be repurchasing, partly because I think Boots’ make up removing balm works a lot better and for half the price plus I think I want to try out a few other bits from their skin care line.

    Good review :) I didn't know Lush did this... It looks pretty good although I agree with you on wanting to feel squeaky clean! x

    Great review,
    I keep hearing people rave about Lush, just because it's Lush,
    nice to see someone say they prefer something else!

    I'm not keen on this cleanser. It's too greasy, and leaves everything it touches sticky and gunky. Yuck. And it brings me out! It does remove all of my makeup easily though. I wish it would work for me :(

    I have this and think it's a bit greasy for me, I always end up having to wash my face again after it. That being said, it was expensive enough so I'm gonna finish the tub if it kills me!!

    I've not really bought any Lush products for myself but a good make up remover is definitely essential. Too bad that this didn't work out for you!

    I remember this made my skin breakout, and I don't usually get pimples. As soon as I stopped using it, the pimples went away. But I did love how soft it made my skin.

    I love Lush but only their bath stuff tbh. For skincare I prefer Clinqiue or Estee Lauder. This one looks yummy though! xx

    Thanks for the review. :) I probably wouldnt use it because it is so moisturizing and I break out easily but it seems like it would be great for someone with dry skin.

    I can imagine that it'd be a little off-putting to not feel that cleanness on your face, strange!

    Great review! I have never before used a make-up remover - I typically stick to Vaseline, soap, and water. :)

    I know what you mean. You want your skin to feel clean, but not totally dried out. I wonder what kind of oil they are using. If it was just heaps of mineral oil I wouldn't be too happy.

    Calling something Bland is a bit silly!
