theBalm Balm Jovi Palette, well worth the splurge!

Recently, Feel Unique had a sale on theBalm palettes. Which reminded me how much I adore my theBalm Balm Jovi palette. Priced at £34 it is on the more expensive side, but you get a reasonable amount of make up for that, as well as a whole load of cute.

I often put my make up on whilst on the tube to work (terrible habit I know), and because of that I love to be able to whip out a palette that not only has everything in it, but is also light to carry and has a decent mirror.

 It's probably clear from the photos that I have had this palette for a few months now, and it's certainly seen some use. I have to admit that I rarely use the blush, highlighter, and lipsticks, but the eyeshadows are some of my favourites.

 

 Each of the shimmer shadows are named in parody of a rock band, and you have a good range, possibly all you need for a night down the indie club. Through the centre are the matte shadows and these are similarly musically named. The packaging gives you some ideas of which colours to pair together.

The lipsticks fold out of the base which is a clever little design meaning that you don't lean in the softest part of the palette whilst perfecting your smoky eye. The shades are designed to work on the lips and cheeks and to match in with the rest of the palette. I don't use these very often but if I'm in a rush they are perfect just to smear on my lips without needing too much precision.




I find that when I use a palette regularly, I have one or two standard looks that I use. With this one it is no different and my go to look uses four shadows. I wear Iron Maid In across the lid, rem above the crease and under the eye, Alice Copper in the outer corners, and The Stroke across the top lash line.

I prefer to wear with a fuschia lip, but if I'm on the run I'll finish with Milly, as you can see in the photo below:

Were you tempted by the Balm Jovi palette in the Feel Unique sale? Or did you already own it? If you haven't taken the splurge on this one then I am afraid I going to be an enabler for you and say that I highly recommend it!
