I've been seeing a lot of love for The Balm products recently, and while my experience isn't extensive (it's tricky to get hold of here in the UK), I thought I'd spread the love!
This is Hot Mama All-in-One by the balm, and it is bee-yoo-tiful :D
Check it!
It's one of three in this range, the others being Bahama Mama, and Sexy Mama. I picked this up at TK Maxx (TJ Maxx I think for our American counterparts...?) for a nifty price (let us never forget my love of a bargain) and have been in love ever since. That The Balm gets such good reviews only makes me more upset that I can't seem to find this anywhere except on one-offs at TK Maxx :/
On The Balm's site, it says:
Sexy Shadow & Beautiful Blush All-in-One!
theBalm introduces Hot Mama, a true , it says:all-in-one essential: sexy shadow, striking blush, subtle highlighter, and light-reflecting lip finisher tucked inside a go-anywhere compact. The pinky-peach hue adds a splash of color to cheeks, a hint of shimmer to the lids, and illuminates your finest features.
I haven't tried this as an eyeshadow yet, I'll have to give it a go sometime soon, but I can tell you this is a fantastic blush.
The packaging is so nice, I love the retro feel, and even though it's made of cardboard it still manages to feel quite weighty and high quality.
The colour reminds me of Nars Orgasm, a beautiful shimmer peachy-pink colour, flecked through with gold.
The texture is creamy, and because of this lasts a bit longer than a powder.
The colour is really universally flattering. I'm super pale, and this makes a really pretty pink glow on me, and on darker skin-tones I imagine the golden-peachiness picks up more :D
UK readers: This is available for £12.99 from Hot Rockin Belle,a lovely site that seems to have a lot of The Balm products for reasonable prices!! Happy Days!!
