Another post? What? I'm getting good at this.
So I ordered some things from the Balm a while ago, they were having a huge 50% off sale. However, the sale started off on quite a rocky note and their website crashed and was down for over a week. When it came back up I bought two things. Now, for about a month, I heard nothing from them. I got a confirmation email but that was it. No shipping notice or updates. Nothing. They hadn't even charged my credit card. I was SUPER PISSED. Yes, it's makeup but I'd like to know what the heck is going on with it. Anyway, I emailed them to ask what was going on. No response. Then, about a week later my credit card was charged and I got a shipping confirmation. Seriously? No reply email saying "so sorry it took so long but we've shipped it now"?? So when I opened my box on Friday with the products inside I was a little mad. BUT that quickly changed. HOLY MOSES! IS THEIR STUFF AMAZING OR WHAT?. I have never tried anything from them before, just heard countless YouTubers like EmilyNoel83 go on and on about how great their stuff was.
WHAT I GOT:
Bahama Mama Bronzer
This baby is so pigmented, it's amazing. It retails for $20.00 regular but I got mine for $10.00 in the sale which is a great deal. You have to be careful not to use too much but it looks fabulous on. I am super pale and I think this would work for a variety of skin tones. It is a deep matte brown. I love matte bronzers instead of shimmer ones. Shimmer ones make me look like peach disco ball. I would use this to contour with as well. Fabulous! And we can talk about how freaking cute the packaging is?? It's like Benefit before they became too popular. I love it!
Frat Boy Blush
This baby is so much like Nars Orgasm to me, only it is way more wearable and far less shimmery. I love this colour so much. It is a lovely pink/coral colour that is perfect for a variety of skin tones as well. It is also SUPER pigmented so be careful and don't over load that brush, honey! It retails for $21.00 and I got it for $10.50. It says on the packaging it can be used an eyeshadow too, which is cool but I think it will take some practice to make this work in an eye look.
Now I know I got these on sale and that's a little unfair but the Balm is always on Hautelook and usually 50% off. You might have to wait a month or so before it is on again, but its a good deal. They also sell the Balm at Rexall pharmacy and they usually mark it down quite a bit. I really like this brand and want to try more from it. I am probably going to buy it from Hautelook or Rexall though because of the bad customer service their website seems to have.
