The Balm Cosmetics
Hey there, to those who has not heard of The Balm, they are
actually a make up brand that was made and produced from the USA. The packaging
are pretty much quirky, when I first saw it, I thought they were very similar
to “Benefit Cosmetics”. Please, tell me I am not the only one? Seeing the
packaging feels like I was taken back to the 50s era or something. Very quirky
and cute. Now in the my collection, I only have THREE. Having so little, I
still thought it’s a good idea to share the goods to you out there.
"Bahama Mama Bronzer"
Well, I am going to start with the product I have mentioned
before here in my blog. That is, the Bahama Mama bronzer. Now, I have been
loving this ever since I got it in my vanity! It works so good, so fine towards
my skin. The colour, first of all suits my tanned skin perfectly! You know
when, you get the right shade of bronzer and you have that feeling of
confidence straight up to your face? I definitely feel that with this bronzer.
The consistency is amazing, at first I thought “Boy! Aren’t this super
pigmented?!” Yes it was, however it was not that hard to blend. With the right
brush, and method, I promise you’ll get the look with this one! Everything with
this bronzer fits me perfectly! I love it!
"Instain Blusher in Toile"
On to the second item, the Instain Blush in “Toile”. Okay to
be honest, I did not want to get this in the first place. Well, I wanted a
blusher, but not in this colour. I was in the One Utama’s Sasa outlet. It was a
regular day, where I just went for a make up hunt after work. Thinking I wanted
to get a dark plum, cool tone blusher. I wanted to go to MAC Cosmetics, but I
decided not to cause I thought I’ll be spending a lot there. I mean, a blusher
would probably cost me RM 90? I don’t know, I’ve never had any blusher from
MAC. (Let me know, if they’re any good and also the price range. That would do
wonders!) So I went to Sasa, hoping to get a blusher, for the price of RM 30 –
RM 60. To keep the story short, I was persuaded by lust and good customer
service. Not only, I did not get the colour I planned on buying, I also spent
RM 89 for this blush! Not that, this is not worth it. I just thought, I could
find a better blusher that this with the price range. You get what I mean
right?
Other than the tragedy. I do find this blush working okay. I
mean I have not own anything like this colour. So it is not a waste after all,
just something new to add to the collection. I guess. The colour is warm, with
a hint of pink tone. I must say it’s actually suitable for an everyday wear.
Eventually, I like it. And, it’s called InStain for a reason! The colour is
very pigmented. Not the type of pigments that would go off, through the day. I
could still see the colour on my cheeks, even at the end of the day when I am
done with work. And I work, more than 10 hours a day! No joke! I guess, if you
are looking for a good blusher, that would last all day long, you could try the
range from InStain by “The Balm”. They are actually not bad. Good thing,
unexpected faith brought me to this, Lulz!
"Cindy-Lou Manizer"
And the last product I have by “The Balm” is actually one of
their sensational item! That is the “Lou Manizer” sisters! They are actually
highlighters. I see them everywhere, on Youtube. Many of the make up gurus has
it! They have three in range, but the one I have with me is the “Cindy-Lou
Manizer”. I’ve seen many using the “Mary – Lou Manizer” and that one is the lightest
shade the have in shimmering sheer gold. I was confused purchasing this. I
wanted to get the “Mary – Lou Manizer” as I see many using it. However, the
make up assistant from Sasa keep on insisting me to get the “Cindy – Lou
Manizer” as she thought it would fit me better on my tanned skin. And so
trusting her, I got it. In a way, I am not happy with the finish that the
colour gives me. It is more of a peachy toned highlighter. I did not really get
the finish that I wanted. I happy with the texture though. Everything in it
applies smoothly on my face. I don’t know, perhaps I’ll be getting the “Mary –
Lou Manizer” soon to see which works better. Probably, its just the inner me,
still wanting the “Mary – Lou Manizer”. Let me know guys, if you’ve tried any from
this range before. Overall, it is a good product!
If you guys are interested in these, you could find them in
any of the nearest Sasa Outlet near you.
