the Balm Bahama Mama: Review

I love bronzer. I also use it as a neutral blush and use it as an eye makeup. And, I think it’s truly a versatile product. I have not gone through a lot of different bronzers, but I really like the Balm’s Bahama Mama Bronzer.

First of all, the packaging is beautiful, like all other the Balm compacts. It’s nice that it’s made of sleek packing made out of cardboard and magnet that closes it. 

It does not come with a brush, which I think is fine because some product's brush is disappointing. The packaging gets really dirty after some time, I just clean it with damp cotton pad, no worries. It weighs 7.08g and retails for 775 php.

In the pan, it looks deep bronze with specks of shimmer and I actually thought that it will look scary deep brown on my skin. But it just gives a really pretty subtle glow and it is buildable. So, I think this will suit light to medium skin tone.

I really like that the powder blends really well and stays on for whole day, approximately 6 to 8 hours.

Overall, I would recommend this product if you are looking for a good bronzer. It’s a little expensive, but the quality is great.
