The Balm Mary - Lou Manizer

Hello everyone!

Like what I said in my previous post, these days, people are obsessed dewy and glowy skin. 2015 was the year of glow! A lot of makeup product released so many good and beautiful highlighters for the makeup junkie. It is still going on hard until today.

There are already lots of good highlighters in the market and today I will talk about the classic and the long time favorite highlighter, The Balm Mary – Lou Manizer.

This product claims:

A seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuse light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow.

Ingredients:

Mica, Isoeicosane, Polyethylene, Boron nitride, Polyisobutene, ptfe, Silica, Synthetic wax, Dimethicone, Titanium dioxide (ci 77891), Iron oxide (ci 77491).

I have been wanted to buy a highlighter since the makeup games nowadays are filled with it. Long before, I had no intention or interest in highlighter because I think it makes you look oily. I live in a humid and hot weather, my face most of the time always oily. That is why I think using Highlighter does not make you glowy but makes you look oily instead.

But because I watched a lot of YouTube videos #YouTubeMadeMeBuyIt, plus I became fans of Jaclyn Hill, a beauty youtuber, or we can say the mother of Highlighter, I am really curious and interested with Highlighter!

Then, I began to look for Highlighter. I was thinking to buy Colourpop Highlighter in Wisp or The Balm Mary – Lou Manizer. I tried to search for review in YouTube and a lot of people were saying that even there are lots of highlighter in the market, Mary – Lou always became their long time favorite and their classic highlighter. Because lots of positive review, I decided to buy Mary – Lou instead.

First, I like it because it has a round a big pan. It deserves the price. Then, I like it because it is like a gold glow, so it makes the glow really popped up. I think the highlighter is not as strong as Becca highlighter or as weak as other highlighter, it is just right in the middle. It gives you glow but not like over glow.

But, I do not know why, from close, the highlighter in my face looks streaky or it looks like it is unblended. It looks good from far, but from close, it seems strange. I tried to blend it real hard, but still it somehow looks streaky.

Details:

Besides the problem that I had, I still love this highlighter. It gives me glow and it works as it is stated. I think that I wanted to try other too so that I could compare it. Maybe Colourpop or Becca? Or maybe Anastasia Bevery Hills. I guess they make really great highlighter!

ps:
Here is the pic of me wearing this Highlighter! Careful with the glow B-)

Until next time,

Xoxo,
