Girl, if waterproof makeup makes you avoid wearing it, same—until I found this little trick. I used to dread taking off mascara because no matter what, I’d wake up with raccoon eyes. But this Elf cleansing balm + a hot towel moment? Game changer. I take the tiniest dollop, massage it all over my face, and then run my makeup eraser cloth under hot water—squeeze out the excess, press it onto my skin, and just… let it melt everything away. It feels like a spa moment at home. And for waterproof mascara? I dip a Q-tip in the balm, gently rub my lashes, and it’s gone. No tugging, no burning, no scrubbing my poor eyes raw. And the best part? I barely use makeup wipes anymore! This balm lasts me months, my cloth is washable, and now I only grab a wipe when I really need one. If you haven’t tried a cleansing balm yet, trust me, it’ll change your whole routine. I linked my favorite one, plus a few others I love, check them out if you’re curious!
