Like Matt Damon's famous one-liner in Good Will Hunting, this dual-purpose cream palette from theBalm® is destined to be a classic. Each one of these easy-to-blend, long-wearing shades can be used on both cheeks and lips, and they won't streak or fade once applied. Each palette has six orchard-inspired shades: Cider, Cobbler, Pie, Crisp, Candy, and Caramel. Mix and match for the sweetest results.
I have never found a lip tint, let alone a multifunctional product that has worked this well. I might just be biased, because the color of this tint is phenomenal (literally the best one I've ever tried, and I've tried quite a few). But aside from the amazing color, I like the fact that it doesn't feel sticky, or dehydrate my lips. It also blends so well. I'm in love!
5I love the colors in this. However, the full size of this palette is the size of my Kindle - the old, original book-only ones. The bonus to this palette however, is that I am able to use it for lips, cheeks and eyes for minimal coloring so if I'm out somewhere for very long it's not so bad. I love the big mirror it comes with because it really helps when I'm trying to put a look together while I'm out. All the colors are fairly complementary so I can do a deeper flush cheek, that will go well with the shimmery lips and a light pink on the eye so I don't *look* like I've used the same paintbrush and just swiped my face in all the same color.
4I was worried at first that I would not be able to figure out how to use the cream blush and just bought the palette strictly for lip use. One day however I was adventurous and used it both as a blush and as a lip color and was very satisfied with how easily it blended into my skin and yet produced enough pigment to be a lip color as well. I love this palette and I am glad I bought it while I had the chance.
5I use this pallet mostly for my cheeks. I have very fair skin and often struggle to find a blush or bronzer that look natural. This pallet is wonderful as I can easily add more or less color as well as mix colors together to create the perfect look. You do have to get used to how much you should apply as it can be quite difficult to remove if you do too much. Once you do get to used to what is good for you though, this is a great product!
5Brides, take note: I spent $100’s on wedding day makeup including several shades of nice lipstick, and on the day of at the last minute I ended up using this sample (which was the Pie shade, I believe) instead. It’s just the most fantastic, wedding-y, flushed and rosy lip shade, plus it’s not goopy or sticky and stays on through many glasses of champagne. Cheers to that!
