Review : The Balm, Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminzer

I recently won Dee's Sleek and The Balm giveaway, the products were supplied by Beauty Emporium. Massive thanks to you both :) I'd never tried any products by The Balm before so was very excited for these.

Today I am going to share with you my thoughts on Mary-Lou Manzier, aka, The Luminzer.

Packaging

I really like the packaging, it has a Benefit-esque vibe to it which I love. It comes in a nice compact with a handy little mirror.

Product

The product itself glides on effortlessly and smoothly, this is one swipe in natural light. As you can see it has a lovely gold shimmer, but isn't too shimmery to make me afraid.

You can use this as a highlighter, shimmer and eyeshadow making it is a very versatile product.

Longevity

I wore the product alone on my eyes for a working day, to give it the 9-5 test. I was very impressed. As you can see in the photos the product lasted all day with very little creasing, bearing in mind that I used no primer at all and have very oily lids this is quite an achievement.

Would I recommend this product - yes I would. I'm not sure how easily available it is as I won the product and have never come across any products from The Balm before. If you come across this beauty I strongly suggest picking it up. The tin is huge (8.5g of product) so it will last ages.

*Please note, even though I won this product in a giveaway all opinions are my own, I was not asked to blog about my prizes.*
