Here is something i do not have to think twice before declaring it as one of my holy grail products. The name is Mary Lou-manizer from theBalm Cosmetics. This products has been raved quite a lot by the beauty Gurus and my fellow bloggers and finally i bought this in January. I am writing this review after using it for the last 3 months on my Asian/Indian skin and i am happy to say that this is totally worth the hype. And the best thing is the price, it is really well-priced based on the quality and finish of this product. This products has been reviewed by bloggers/vloggers with fair and medium skin tones and works really nicely on all.

This product is one of my favorite highlighter and has no yellow or pink undertones. It is all glow, glow and glow with no heavy glitter or gold streaks. This highlighter is really pigmented, a tiny bit gives a fabulous glow and with the amount of product in the container, it lasts forever, so it is totally worth the price. Other thing i noticed is that this needs to be used carefully and with light hand until you get an idea of how it looks on your skin, because a little extra can look heavy.

I really like the packaging of this highlighter , it is super cute and has a large sturdy pan and a big mirror. And i have tried using it on the inner corner of my eyes and as a highlighter under my brow bone. It looks great even as an eye shadow, not glittery but shimmering.

As i couldn't find it in the stores near my place in Canada and theBalmCosmetics site ships from US, so i would have to pay shipping and taxes. I finally got this from Amazon.

As is its name, it works as a multitasker too, This is my one-for-many product that i use as a bronzer, eye shadow and for contouring. This was like a once in a while kind of good product that you get, when you do not have anything like that in mind to buy. I was not actually looking for it but i can’t tell you how happy i am after finding it. The color is just perfect for any of the three to be used as a bronzer, eyeshadow or a contouring powder, and the best thing is it just suits my skin perfectly giving it a very natural look.

I saw this product used and reviewed by many people but never thought of buying it until i finally bought it when it came on my suggestion page on amazon. I searched for any other options where i can buy, but the option was still amazon canada. The package arrived and had everything perfect, nothing broken inside the small box. Inside the outer packaging, the powder is packaged in a hard paper case which is very colorful and cute.

The color looked really nice and matte, gives a really tanned look to the skin. The quality is really good, very smooth and fine texture.

It doesn't look orangish, reddish or fake, gives a very natural finish, not too shiny or not too dull. The pigmentation is just perfect, not overly pigmented. The other thing is that the ingredients look okay, for my sensitive, combination, sometimes acne-prone skin. It has worked perfectly for my eye-shadow creasing and also for contouring my face. I would surely say that it is a must-have product. Costwise, it needs a really light hand and goes for a long time.
