*REVIEW* The Balm Mary-Lou-Manizer

Hi guys

It's been too long since my last post and I haven't got an excuse really, just been busy with life and not really been testing many new products.

Recently however I gave into the hype and bought myself a highlighter, specifically the Mary-Lou-Manizer highlighter from the Balm cosmetics. these retail at £17.50 on Feel Unique but I understand they are obtainable from the drugstore.

Anyhoo, before this I had a specifically bad experience with one of those Mac highlighter/ blush hybrid things and they colour pay off on my skin wasn't too great it shimmered too silver and you could see exactly where I'd placed it on my skin brushstroke wise and it just felt streaky.

This product however is rave worthy, so here it comes, it leaves a golden shimmer to the skin that is so seamless with no lines, transfer or fallout. It looks really natural and can be used on the cheekbones, cupids bow, bridge of the nose, the brow bone and even as an eye shadow. Having used this religiously for a week I am hooked it lasts all day and does not budge. 

On my NC42 skin tone it compliments nicely, however I imagine this would suit all skin types and would be exceptionally great for the summer months when everyone is vying for that elusive summer natural glow.

So go on guys, give this a try, it's inexpensive and gives the more high end products that are similar a run for their money.
