TheBalm Highlighter & Bronzer: The Rundown

First off, thanks to so many of you who have been visiting and reading my blog. I hope the information I’ve been providing is of value.

I have for you two products I’m very excited to share my impressions of. TheBalm, one of my favorite indie brands put out this cute dual-package of two of them most famous products: Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter and Betty-Lou Manizer Bronzer.

Special duo set from Marshalls of Mary-Lou and Betty-Lou Manizer.

Mary-Lou Manizer is a shimmery beige highlighter power that look cooler in tone than the brown-girl famous NARS Albatross highlighter. It is very pigmented, translucent and buildable and does not go on ashy on dark skin. The Betty-Lou Manizer is a golden brown shimmery bronzer that is not only very pigmented, but adds a lovely warmth to dark skin.

Both products are packaged in a mirrored compact with nice heft of weight, hold .3 oz of product (2x NArS) and are priced at $24 each. They are available for purchase at TheBalm.com and Beauty.com.
