TheBalm Bahama Mama bronzer review

Product: theBalm Bahama mama bronzer/eyeshadow/contour powder

Where to buy: Beauty Bar

Price: 775.00 php

How it looks upon application

(did my friend's makeup for her graduation and used this bronzer to contour and bronze her face)

Review:

- true brown color not like other bronzers that looks orange

- matte finish which looks more natural than shimmery bronzers

- very pigmented

- ADORABLE PACKAGING and very handy you  can bring it anywhere even using the smallest bag because of the nice packaging.

- doesnt look muddy if applied correctly

- creates the perfect contour and the most natural

- will last you a long time I have mine for months it still has a lot left

- multipurpose since you can use it as a contour powder/bronzer and makes a good eyeshadow

- stays on all day no retouch needed

-does not make me oily

- does not clog my pores or give me breakouts

Swatch

The Bad Bits: 

- This can be easily be outdone since the product is very pigmented so be careful or you'll look muddy..

- The packaging over time gets dirty because the texture of the packaging is made out of paper so if the products gets messy it's hard to remove so be careful.

- PRACTICE. first time I applied thisI didn't love it because it was so pigmented it looked dirty and muddy on me so I learned the best way to apply it is with a gentle hand and less is more just use a tiny amount. 

Thanks for the read! 

Chola inspired makeup.

I did this look I think a year ago just because I was bored and i always wanted to try this look not for everyday look of course! just a look to play around with. I did not go to the usual chola eyebrow look that is thin, drawn eyebrows I opt in keeping my brows the way it was just making it darker. I really had fun doing this look! If you want me to do a tutorial in how I created this look please comment here or leave a message at the chat box :)

Thanks for the view! 

theBalm Hot mama! review

Product: HOT MAMA! theBalm blush/eyeshadow/highliter

Where to buy: Beauty Bar

How it looks on me

Review:

I'm currently in love with this brand! This is so far my favorite :) the products are reasonably priced,high in quality and has the most beautiful packaging. This blush is one of my favorites it's a pinky peach color with gold sheen on it it's quite similar to nars orgasm but this is way better! I actually don't like the nars orgasm because first time i tried it i looked like a disco ball! and it emphasized my pores so i stayed away from that blush but then i came across this blush and it was like one swatch and i fell it love with it. If you want that beautiful radiant glow I recommend trying this!

The good bits:

- Does not have glitters on it!
- Highly pigmented 
- Multipurpose! can be used as a blush, highlighter and eye shadow.
- Cute packaging with a nice mirror inside
- Because of it's size it will fit even in your smallest bag perfectly.
- Looks great on the skin it gives you a healthy glow.
- Great blush for summer!

The bad bits:

- It can be easily be outdone so be gentle upon application
- It can make you look oily if you put on too much.

How it looks on me

( didn't wear foundation just used a concealer first then powder to set it)

Review:

- This is the first powder I tried that I could literally feel on how much smooth my skin is you know how your face feels when you just put on a primer the smooth velvety feel? that's what you're gonna feel when your using this! 

- Medium coverage

- SUPER CUTE PACKAGING! how can you not love it? it's pink! and the design is just too adorable.

- GOOD OIL CONTROL! I don't know why but this does what exactly a primer would do it mattifies your face and leaving it smooth.

- CHEAP! my all time HG powder is actually the fanny serrano  2 way cake in duchess but this powder right here is HG material too i'm glad i found a cheaper alternative. 

- for girls who has fair skin choose the shade NO. 1 I made a mistake by choosing N0. 2 as my shade and it's a little dark for me.
