Im probably a lil’ late but let me begin by
wishing all you beautiful people out there a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2014!!
I welcomed the New Year partying with my friends
and then woke up the next day with a massive hangover… but I think most people wake up that way on Jan 1st…. lol!!
What did you guys do??
Today il be reviewing The Balm- Bahama Mama
Bronzer that I bought last month. I was in search of a good bronzer since
forever but I was so particular about the kind I wanted that I never seemed to
find one. I hate the way foundations make the face too even toned, in a bad way
(read, Edward from Twilight!!) and bronzers add some human colours to my face
and give it some dimension.
I zeroed upon Benefit Hoola and The Balm-Bahama
Mama as both had all the qualities I wanted but The Balm was a lil’ reasonably
priced so I went with it and bought it from feelunique.com
Packaging (Rs.1365/- for 7.08 gm)
I have always loved the quirky packaging of The
Balm products including my Holy Grail highlighter The Balm-Mary Lou Manizer
that I have reviewed here.
Bahama Mama comes in a uber cute cardboard box
case that opens and shut with a distinct magnetic click. The packaging is
perfect for a clumsy person like me who is constantly dropping and cracking
plastic packaging. The case also comes with a reasonable sized mirror which
comes really handy for touch-ups. It does not come with a brush which is ok
with me.
Product
As you can see from the pictures, it has
absolutely no traces of glitter or shimmer, and i love this bronzer for that. The
bronzer comes in a pressed powder form and is extremely soft and finely milled
and has no orange undertones which tends to make you look dirty and weird.
I love multi-tasking products and this is
definitely one multi-tasker. I have used it as an eye shadow, contour powder
and of-course a bronzer. So versatile!!!
Pigmentation
Bahama Mama is perfectly pigmented and ladies
with fair to medium skin tones will love it. The colour is definitely buildable
but ladies with deeper skin tones may find it a lil’ light for their liking to contour with it
or as an over all bronzer.
Longevity
It lasted for about 6-7 hours on my oily skin
which is phenomenal.
Verdict
Needless to say im in love with this product and
surprisingly there is nothing I dislike in it. Totally HOLY GRAIL material!!
……and thus my search for the perfect bronzer,
ends here!! I can die in peace now!!
Looks like a awesome bronzer ... Well reviewed dear ! This one goes in my must buy list
