The Balm Hot Mama Blush Review Swatches


Today's featured product is a blush from the Balm called "HOT MAMA" as you can see from the picture below there is a picture of  lady with tropical scenery which suggests that it is great for summer !! 

 The packaging is a cute card board style which is very compact and it is about the size of a business card. I think this will be a great compact blush to be added on to the summer vacation packing list. The one thing i don't like about the packaging is that it can be opened in the shop, I've seen some balm products used in the shop by people. So make sure to check there is no swipes on yours before you buy their product.

The shade of this blush is a peachy coral shade with a golden shimmers. This blush really reminds me of the nars orgasm but in comparison, orgasm is more darker pink with more golden shimmers. I think this blush would work great on fair to medium skin tones and i think the best way to use it is with a bronzer to like more sun kissed glow !!

 As you can see from the picture that this blush is very pigmented and I love the texture of this blush!! It is very creamy and only a tiny swipe will get your skin a glowy finish.

Here is a swatch on my hand, the right side is a finger swatch and the left side is a brush (sorry the camera didn't pick up well :( ) But i promise you that it looks fantastic!! But you have to be careful with the application because it can sometimes pick up too much product. The golden sheen on the cheeks helps to also act as a highlighter which is also great. 

It retails for $16 to 20 US or you can get it in Sasa in Malaysia for about RM60
