Time Balm Concealer




Hello everyone,

Recently I've decided to update my concealer to the Balm's time Balm concealer ($18).
A beeswax-based concealer is packed with some hardcore science to help you fight wrinkles, conceal circles and look absolutely stunning around the clock. How to use: Pat timeBalm on in the AM and PM to conceal dark circles and protect your delicate eye area from environmental stresses. Apply it to a clean face before you go to bed to fight wrinkles while you sleep and wake up looking fabulous.
The concealer color light/medium works just fine for me, but I may try light next time to use it as an additional under eye brightener. The color of the concealer looks much darker in the pot than when swatched. Overall, I like how small the concealer is (great for girls always on the go). The texture is creamy and easy to apply with my fingers or sponge. The concealer is also buildable if you need more coverage. The only gripe I have with this concealer is it's ability to settle into fine lines. Even the most imperceptible fine lines around or under the eyes will be somewhat highlighted with this concealer. However, because it's hardly noticeable unless I squint into my mirror I'm still pretty happy with this concealer. I will use it until I hit the bottom, then I will move onto another one. I still remain a huge fan of the Balm's makeup products and can't wait to try more from their vintage inspired beauty line. If $18 is too much to spend on a concealer, then I recommend Maybelline's Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting concealer ($8), a great alternative. Also, our thoughts sincerely go out to those affected by the hurricane. We hope all of our readers are safe and ok. <3

the Balm Frat Boy blush



Hello everyone!

Today's review will by on the Balm's Frat Boy blush. I've accumulated a few peach blushes over the years, but a girl can never have too many blushes, right?
"This velvety smooth, peachy-apricot shadow/blush adds the perfect amount of color for a foxy flush so you look stellar around the clock. Frat Boy™ leaves you with a face that's pretty and polished. When you can't keep the boys away, blame it on the blush."

I have been eagerly waiting by my mailbox everyday to get this blush and I am so happy to finally receive it! The packaging is everything I wanted. Fun, pretty, and stylish. When I look at this blush it reminds me of hot men and that's never a bad thing. Anyways, I love how it has a snap magnetic closure, a mirror, and that it's travel size friendly. The color is a matte medium pink/peach and you ladies who love a good peach blush might just love this. It goes on light but builds up fast into a medium pink more so than a light peach. The color goes on smooth and lasts all day. I have no complaints about this blush and I can't help but smile when I look at it. You can purchase the blush at the website directly or at Sephora here. Swatch to follow.
