After hearing much hype, I gave in and purchased some "the Balm" products from Hautelook. I had originally seen some of the makeup products at Marshalls, but I didn't take the bait then. However, I only purchased three items including: Shady Lady Eyeshadow Palette ($19.50), Frat Boy Blush ($10.50) and Down Boy Blush ($10.50).
I really love the packaging. Yes, for some it may be viewed as being flimsy since it is predominantly paper and not plastic based, but I really like it because it is very slim and portable. Plus, I love the cut pics!
There were three different palettes on sale, but this one appealed to me most. I think these shades are very wearable.
I think the eyeshadows are really pigmented. These swatches were only created with one swipe! The swatches match their place on the palette above.
Along with the eyeshadow palette, I purchased two blushes as well. One is more peachy toned and the other is a more cool toned pink.
I have very fair skin as you can see via the picture, so both blushes show up pretty well. I swatched them in the order they are shown above.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchases! Have you tried the Balm products before? What did you think?

Note: Products were purchased with my own money and the reviews are 100% my own.
love the palettes. is it affordable? the packaging really attracts more buyers. usually if the packaging looks interesting, how much more the content is.
ReplyDeleteI think the palette is more reasonable than some high end products, but of course, it is more costly than drugstore. I updated the post with the product prices. Thanks so much for asking! I knew I was forgetting something =)
DeleteI still want their bronzer, luminizer, foundation, and concealer. They are amazing products
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Thanks for the review.
