Hello,
I don't have much from The Balm, I find their packaging interesting but not quite right for me. I found a set with these two products below plus a mascara which I will open when I am done with my current one.
Lip oil has a standard packaging with 7 ml of product while Golden Glow holds 28 ml of highlighter. I like the pump dispenser since it is more hygienic and it is precise.
Here Too Slow, Mauve over looks a bit more red than in real life but it is like a thin oil. It spreads easily but also disappears quickly, think 15 min. I tried it on dry lips and it didn't heal them, when used on healthy and hydrated lips by the end of the day my lips were dry. I realised that this thin lip oil did nothing for my lips and the taste isn't the best. I am borderline thinking of getting rid of this product.
Golden Glow also has thin texture and spreads easily. I would use less on my whole face and neck that what I used on my swatch. It is not oily but feels like a moisturiser and I just wait a few minutes to sink in and there is this light glow on my face. I use it under my foundation so I think it comes out very subtle. I like it but it is definitely not essential in my make-up routine. If I am out of time this step is the first to skip so I don't know why I even bother buying liquid highlighters, probably because they look gorgeous and I like a bit glow but matte finish (powder on top to prevent my natural oils to mess up my makeup).
Out of the two (I know they are completely different products) I prefer the face highlighter and at first I was eying the Peachy shade but I will not be buying more lip oils from The Balm, just not worth it for me.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day
