good day everyone..!!! i'm trying really hard to be consistent in posting a new post more often.. hehe.. so today's post is about "Balmbini Volume 2 Face Palette" from the Balm cosmetics and this is one of the gift that i got from Reine Dollshop, i will give the swatch of the colors and apply it on my face.. but i have to apologize first because i forgot to bring my brush set..!! so i only use the natural brush that every human has which is the fingers..~ and a lil help from cotton buds.. and let's start the review shall we??
Packaging
first as usual we will see the packaging first, this is actually my first palette from the Balm cosmetics so i am really excited to try it..!!
 |
| the front |
 |
| the back |
omg.. i really love the packaging design..!! so colorful and cute.. the explanation on the back is clear too and you can read it easily.. there's even an instruction to create a look using this palette, this kinda reminds me of my Em cosmetic Life Palette which give a few instructions too to create a different looks using their palette..
Product Description
and now let's see the inside, i wonder what colors this palette provide and is it pigmented or not? hehe.. but first let me explain that this palette contains 4 shadow/liner (it means you can use it as eyeshadow or eyeliner), 1 highlighter/shadow, 1 lip/cheek cream, 1 lip gloss.. i also provide the color swatches on my wrist on photo below..

| color swatches |
whoaa.. love the colors..!! and it's very pigmented.. you really can create a full look by using this palette only.. so i will give a description for the colors, i already mark each of the colors with alphabet letters on the picture above..
- b : this is a lip/cheek cream called "Strawberry"
- c : this is a shadow/liner called"Lavis Latoya"
- d : this is a shadow/liner called "Open to Offers Olwen"
- e : this is a shadow/liner called "Manic Maribel"
- f : this is a shadow/liner called "Jinxy Jasmyne"
- g : this is a highlighter/shadow called "Promiscuous Pearl"
almost all the eyeshadows except the black one have glitters on it and they really have beautiful colors.. i love the highlighter especially when you put it on your brow bone, it isn't too sparkly and shiny but not matte also, it's just there and brings out the brow bone out.
i will try to do the look that they put on the back of the box, but as i said before, i forgot to bring my brushes so i did everything with my fingers and cotton buds, some of the photos quality also wasn't that great because i haven't found my camera charger, but i hope it's clear enough.. thank you for the understanding..!!
Directions
How to get the look "Balmbini Volume 2" :
- prep your face first with your basic skincare then primer, continue with bb cream or foundation, concealer and done.. don't put any powder first because later i will apply the cream blusher.
- then continue for the eye makeup, apply the eyeshadow primer, after that on the inner corner use the purple eyeshadow the one that called"Lavis Latoya", and use the green color called "Open to Offers Olwen" on the center and outer corner of the eyelid.
 |
| apply the purple and green eyeshadow |
 |
| "Lavish Latoya" |
 |
| "Open to Offers Olwen" |
 |
| apply the gold eyeshadow |
 |
| "Manic Maribel" |
 |
| black eyeshadow on the outer corner only |
 |
| "Jinxy Jasmyne" |
 |
| pearl highlighter on the brow bone |
 |
| "Promiscuous Pearl" |
- tadaaa..!! the eyeshadow part is done..!! next curl the lashes, and apply the mascara on upper and lower lash. don't forget to fill in your eyebrow..!! products that i used :
mascara : maybelline lash stiletto
eyebrow : VOV auto eyebrow pencil
- for the cheek, i'm gonna use the cheek cream the one that called "strawberry", never use powder before applying cream blusher or you will end up with cakey makeup..! i pat down the cheek cream on the apple of my cheek and blend it carefully, i love the color..!! so natural..~
don't forget to powder after applying the cheek cream.. or if you into that dewy look you can leave the powder..!

| "Strawberry" |
