Hi guys!
Just a quick review today! I've had this palette laying around for a while now and for whatever reason, I just never used it. Not even once! Possibly because the eyeshadow colors seemed more Fall like to me.. I don't know. BUT... a few days ago I was reorganizing some of my makeup and came across it, tucked away in a drawer. I decided to leave it out in arms reach and give it a go sooner or later!
Well.. I finally decided to use it Friday night when we were getting together with some friends and I wanted to get all dolled up! Oh. My. God.!!! I was soooo in love with the look I was able to get with this little trio palette! The shadows are unbelievable and applied like a dream! The formula is just such a great quality! They are very pigmented, which I love, but lets talk about blending... They were so so easy to blend! No harsh lines or smudge marks, just beautiful blended glory!
I'm obsessed and have decided I definitely need more of theBalm's eyeshadows in my life! The fun part is that Kohls now sells the line in their stores and online (which is actually where I got this palette a few months ago).
Here are the swatches and the look I created!
Kindle: Used this shade all over the lid. It's a gorgeous almost mix of a dark emerald and peacock green. It is a satin finish with just a tiny bit of sparkle to it! So pretty and made my blue eyes pop!
Glow: Quite possibly the most perfect crease shade that I have come across in a LONG time! Its not too dark, its not orangey, its just a perfect light brown tone! I think I would even pull this little palette out just to use this color in my crease on other eye looks! Beautiful and I'm totally obsessed!
Combust: I used this one two different ways.. On my brow bone for highlight as a pretty, soft, satin goldish color, and I also used it wet in the inner corners of my eyes to really make it pop and then blended it in with the greenish color, Kindle just in the inner corner of the lid. I was so happy with the way it turned out! Absolutely loved it and found that it was easily used wet or dry!
I finished the look with a black eyeliner and a few coats of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. I love the drama that I got out of this look, but also loved how it wasn't so super dark or harsh like some smokey eyes can be. I finished with a simple plum toned cheek to play off the greenish color and a very simple nude lip!
I will definitely be checking out some more of theBalm's collection, especially now that it is so accessible in my local Kohl's stores! I cannot wait to get my hands on more of this of this stuff!!
