So I was running low on my beloved Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser but it was out of stock in Debenhams and Va Va Voom. So I decided to research and see if there was a more affordable alternative that delivered similar results.
I should note that a few years ago I tried and tested MAC'S tinted moisturiser and it failed miserably. It was far too sheer and I found it very drying.
Fast forward to now and I found a lot of hype about the Balm cosmetics. I already own their famous highlighter Mary Lou-minizer which I love as it's silky and smooth on the skin.
I decided to hunt down the Balm 'Balmshelter' as it got quite a lot of positive reviews and at 11 KD I thought it won't break the bank.
Off I went to Marina Mall as there was a small stall there and bought it in medium/dark as I read it oxidises quickly and didn't want to get a shade a darker for fear of looking like an oompa loompa! I also wanted to pick up 'Read these lips' lipgloss. I chose 'Bam' which was a lovely rose pink colour. It was quite creamy and moisturising with good colour payoff too.
I also bought 'timebalm'concealer in medium/dark to match up with the moisturiser. I want to try this out for about 2 weeks before I review and give my rating.
So keep reading and I will update you on it.
