The Balm: Cindy-Lou Manizer

Hi everyone, remember my previous post reviewing  The Balm: Mary-Lou Manizer (Linked is below if you want to check it out) which I is one of my favourite highlighter! I bought their Cindy-Lou Manizer about 2 months back and am very prepared for a review now since I have been using it for quite sometime now.

The packaging has the same pin-up vintage vibe which alway makes me feel whimsical. Inside you will find a generous sized mirror.

The Balm: Cindy-Lou Manizer (SGD $36.90 @ Sasa Singapore) This product contains 8.5g/0.3 oz which is double the average amount of your average blush and I don't think I will ever finish it. It is a soft pinky-peach colour with a beautiful frosted sheen when applied. It adds luminosity, warmth, glow and can be used on cheeks, lids and as well as the rest of the face. I'm considered quite fair for an Asian Chinese I can even use it as just a subtle blush.  It doesn’t have a chalky or white base, so it should work as a highlighter on deeper complexions. The finish is high-shine but forgiving, so it doesn’t emphasize pores. This powder had such a soft, buttery, silky texture that it was easy to apply and blend, and it’s very, very pigmented–a little goes a long way.

I can’t say this has replaced my love for Mary-Lou, but it’s still something I wear a lot when I’m looking for a shimmery pink blush. Which do you prefer Mary-Lou Manizer or Cindy-Lou Manizer?

The Balm: Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter

I believe a lot people have heard, seen and owned this mega beautiful highlighter by now, its insane that I would drag a year or more passing by, swatching it on my hand and just admiring and not get this highlighter until now. 

First thing The Balm always have the most amazing beautifully package products that gives you a pin-up, vintage vibe and that makes you want to start collecting them like a hoarder, plus I'm always more prone to get a product if they have great packaging (yup I'm a sucker when it comes to nice packaging).

The Balm: Mary-Lou Manizer (SGD $36.90 @ Sasa Singapore) This product contains 8.5g/0.3 oz which is double the average amount of your average blush, and because you only need the tiniest amount and  I don't think I will ever finish up this highlighter. It's a soft shimmering champagne colour with slight gold tone. On the skin it's not glittery,heavy, or overly shimmery and it seems to have a combination of noticeable shimmer and subtle, glowy sheen. I think its a very pretty shade and very flattering on most skin tones.

I've always been very careful about too much shimmery products as they will accentuate and emphasize my oiliness on my oily-combination skin but with this I just tap the tiniest amount  on top of my cheeks and blend it with a brush will turn you to a glowy goddess. 

It's my favourite highlighter now and the only thing I regret is not getting this sooner. It is definitely worth the hype and if you have not try this just rush to the nearest place you can find whether online or shop and just get it. I'm sure you love just as much as I do.
