Mary-Lou Manizer

This has to be one of the most talked about highlighters at the moment. I have heard lots about the brand as well, a long time ago one of the beauty boxes sent out a full sized Phat Boy blusher, it was beautiful. Unfortunately my beauty box did not contain it (SAD FACE) I really wanted to try it out. I love The Balm's packaging its such fun and quite different to most beauty brands out there, its nice to see a change.

The pigmentation is out of this world, seriously this is one of the most pigmented products I have ever tried. I am really impressed with the formula, the powder is finely milled, and you wont find any chunky glitter. The colour in the picture is true to life, its a light champagne shade. This shade would work well for any skin tone, I could see this also being used as a multi us product. It could quite easily be used as a eyeshadow. I like the shape of the compact and it has a huge mirror, excellent for for travel. I feel you get a lot of product for you money as well, this will last forever.

The application is super easy, but be careful with the amount you pick up on your brush, you only need the lightest of swatches and then I would recommend you tap your brush before applying to your face. Isn't the sheen sooo pretty, when applied right this looks perfect on my skin. I like to use this on the top of my cheek bones, high on my brow bone and my cupid bow. I use a Real Technique Setting Brush, its the perfect size for highlight.

 

 

I see a trend here, I seem to be on a highlight shopping spree at the moment, I have quite a collection forming in my beauty room. I would love to try more products from The Balm, do you own anything from them? If so what is your fave? I have been eyeing up their Natural Palette, but do I really need another natural palette? Also where stocks this brand in the UK?
