theBalm

Today, I am reviewing two items that I picked up from an awesome HauteLook sale. theBalm! What a cute name for some cute products?! The lipstick comes in a cute silver bullet-tube and the image on the box is such cutest parallel to the Bond films. The hue of this lipstick is called "Anita Boytoy!" Such a fitting name for the color. The shadow is called Overshadow in the shade of "you buy, I'll fly." It's golden and shimmery tone is perfect for summer time, day or night! So here I share my face of the day or better known as:

FOTD:








 Details

Eyes:
1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance (Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer)
2. MAC Paint Pot in Constructivist
3. Urban Decay shadow in Suspect
4. theBalm Overshadow in "you buy, i'll fly"
5. eyeko london Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Face:
1. MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW 50

Lips:
1. MAC Lip Pencil in Magenta
2. theBalm Lipstick in "Anita Boytoy"

Pros: Overall I love the entire look. The Overshadow by theBalm is amazing by itself or over a eye primer. What I found out today is that this Overshadow is super awesome with the eye-primer and the MAC paint pot as a base. It really made the golden shimmer POP!! Also, I love the lipstick but...

Cons: the lipstick does not stay. I used the lip pencil to line the lips and colored in over the lips just a little bit. The color does not settle well and it does not stay too long. Even though I find this to be a negative, I still love the color and I will be purchasing more from theBalm really soon!

Thanks for reading my lovelies! Until next time!!
