using the new $42.50 restricted edition Balm Voyage holiday deal with combination by theBalm
How flippin’ adorable is this holiday palette?! I’m a sucker for vintage postcards as well as posters, so this is totally my style. Plus, I have a soft area for theBalm because, like moi, they’re from the Bay Area.
Yessir, I grew up in the 510, transferred to the 415 after college, as well as now I’m just over the golden entrance Bridge in Marin.

So WOOT! Bay area represent.
Balm Voyage… Cheeky name, as well as fun method to tie in the trip theme. They go all out with the travel references, by golly, from the different cities on the cover, to assigning a “seat” to every of the powder eyeshadows (there are 16 of them, together with three lip as well as cheek creams). even the mirror on the inside of the combination appears like a passport for “Anita Vacation,” haha! GURL, anita vacation, too. You don’t even know.
I used this combination quite much all with last weekend, as well as it was perfect for chill-axing on Saturday as well as Sunday. The eyeshadows apply with either sheer or medium levels of pigment, most likely making the combination much better for casual, natural eye makeup than bold, high-fashion looks.

You might always crank up the intensity by applying them with a wet brush, or by layering them on top of a pencil or cream base, however that might interfere with exactly how they blend.
When I do just a straight-up simple look with one or two colors on a primed lid, the powders meld seamlessly into each other, however the second I add a cream or pencil to the mix, the lines between the colors ended up being more difficult to diffuse.

I believe the combination assumes that anywhere you are, be it a wonderful worldwide locale or your couch at house with a book (which is what I did last weekend, reading Horde by Ann Aguirre), you’re just as well darned hectic having fun to offer with challenging eye looks.
Balm Voyage fits simpler, not-so-fussy eye makeup — looks with one or two shadows, max, as well as not a great deal of layering with other products.
If you do choose to take this combination for a spin in something intense with gradients up the wazoo, perhaps do your eye makeup first. That method you can clean up the after effects before the rest of your look, since these eyeshadows are on the powdery side.
Vai niin! almost failed to remember about the lip as well as cheek creams. Hmm… What does that tell ya? Yeah, I assumption they’re alright. They are strong as well as pigmented, which I like, since it means they pack a wallop, even when I don’t utilize a ton of product.
As blushes, I believe they look extremely natural on bare cheeks, however they tend to go patchy on top of foundation or concealer.

I believe I like ’em more as devoted lipsticks…
