The Balm must be one of the amazing make up brand that has not been talked much about in the beauty community. I first found out about this product when I went to Beauty Bar at Gateway Mall. I was searching for a new blush and then bam! There I saw The Balm blushes. What first caught my eye was the vintage packaging. It's kinda like Benefit Cosmetics packaging. It's fun and out-of-the-box kinda thing.
My first blush was Cabana Boy. It's a plummy rose blush with subtle shimmers. When I say "shimmers" don't get freaked out. The shimmers is actually hardly noticeable. I must warn you that this blush is highly pigmented. When I first used this, I got excited that I swiped my brush and didn't even tap my brush and then I looked like a clown. lol. So use a light-hand application especially if you have a fair skin. It will work for everyone. Just build the color as you go. I think this is worth the buck considering it's about P850 ($1 x P45) and you get 8.5g of the product. The product is velvety, not chalky. So it's silky smooth when you apply it. It also works as an eyeshadow which I haven't tried. The only thing I don't like about this is the cardboard packaging. As cute as it is, I cannot carry it with me in my purse because I'm afraid I might dent it. I think this is a must have for your collection. The quality of the product is great and it will last you a long time.
