Work is Overrated!, so says TheBalm

TheBalm-Overshadow-1

TheBalm Overshadow – The Sexpot Series

This series consists of 4 mineral powder shades created to add a more sophisticated and shimmering finish to any eyeshadow.

The little pots than contain them are super cute and have a lovely retro feeling as they are adorned with classic images of naughty pinups from the 40′s-50′s.

The names on the four shades add to the naughty side of this shimmer, the pewter shade is called “If You’re rich, i’m single”, the golden “No money, no honey”, the copper is “You buy, i’ll fly” and the champagne “Work is overrated”.

Esta serie se compone de una gama de 4 tonos de polvo mineral creados para dar un acabado más sofisticado y brillante a cualquier sombra de ojos.

Los pequeños recipientes que los contienen son super lindos y tienen un aire retro precioso, ya que están adornados con imágenes clásicas de atrevidas pin-ups de los 40′s-50′s.

Los nombres de los cuatro tonos añaden más picante a estos brillos, el de color estaño se llama “Si tú eres rico, yo estoy soltera”, el de color oro “Sin dinero no hay cariño”, el cobre es “Tú compras, you vuelo ” y el de tono champán es “El trabajo está sobrevalorado “.

I really couldn’t get myself to decide which one to pick, i just wanted them all! Finally i went for one of the red hair girls (gingers we do have to support each other) and chose the more neutral color as i thought it would match more eyeshadow shades than the others.

La verdad es que no conseguía decidir cuál de los 4 elegir, los quería todos! Finalmente me incliné por una de las chicas pelirrojas (las gingers nos tenemos que apoyar unas a otras) y elegí el color más neutro ya que pensé que conjuntaría con más sombras de ojos que los demás.

So i got “Work is overrated”, described as a ‘pink champagne’, i would say it is more of a peachy champagne, a very nice color indeed.

The little pot has the usual system employed for most mineral powder. Tt is easy to use as although being loose powder, this shimmer has quite a good consistency. 

The result is very nice, it ads quite a lot brightness to the eye and highlights even the darkest eyeshadow, so this could come very handy when we overdo our makeup and we don’t want such a thick and intense color and we obviously don’t want to start all over again. Plus this overshadow looks pretty good by itself too for a lighter look.

Así que me decidí por “Work is overrated”, descrita como un “champán rosado”, yo diría que es más un champagne melocotón, un color muy bonito de todas formas.

El tarrito tiene el sistema habitual empleado por la mayoría de los de polvos minerales. Es fácil de usar ya que a pesar de ser polvos sueltos, este shimmer tiene una consistencia muy buena.

El resultado es muy favorecedor, añade bastante brillo a los ojos mucho e ilumina, incluso la sombra de ojos  más oscura, así que podría resultar ser muy útil cuando nos pasamos con las sombras y no queremos un color tan espeso e intenso y, obviamente, no queremos tener que empezar todo de nuevo. Además, este overshadow queda bastante bien por sí solo para un look más suave.

So work might be overrated, but TheBalm definitely is not!
