I have always thought of 'The Balm” as a cheap version of Benefit due to the similar packaging and product names and so I have tended to overlook it. How wrong was I! So two products I have recently picked up from this brand are the Mary Lou highlighter and Down Boy blusher.

| Down Boy Blusher |
I first tried the highlighter while on a Makeup Forever makeup course a few weeks ago and I really loved it. Its very pigmented and has a lovely subtle shimmer. I apply to cheek bones and blend with my fingers and it gives a beautiful glow to skin. It is also lovely as a highlighter for brow bones. The blusher is a lovely bright pink colour, also very pigmented and it sticks around. A little can be used for a natural day look but the colour is also very buildable for night time too.

These products are a lot cheaper than Benefit products (the highlighter is €17.50 and the blusher is €15) but in my opinion the quality is just as good! The balm products are available in A-Wear stores and in Make-Up Forever on Clarendon St, Dublin 2.
