After a little break, what better than a summer holiday themed article here? I decided to share with you the solution I found to my main struggle when I travel: fitting all the makeup I want/need in my luggage.
The Balm Voyage Vol.2 is my solution. So this palette is not just one of those that has plenty of things in it but the colours are too crazy to wear and the quality inexistant. I'm a neutral colour person and I'm telling you, ALL the colours are not only wearable but gorgeous on this palette.
There's 9 eyeshadows, 1 highlighter, 1 bronzer, 2 powder blushes and 2 creamy blushes/lip products.
All of the powder products are very buttery which is my favourite formula, and what I like about this eyeshadow range of colours is that there's a light beige to put all over the lid ("Welcome"), transition colours for the crease ("Bienvenue" & "Tervetuloa"), a little bit of pop of colour ("Benvenuto" & "Welkom"), the most beautiful colours for the lid ("Bienvenido" & "Willkommen") and amazing colours for a smokey look ("Valkommen" & "Failte").
The highlighter ("Kuwakaribisha") is very light and gentle, it's not the incredible glow that makes you put sunglasses on, it only adds a very soft shimmer to the look which I personally love for a natural day look.
The bronzer ("Croeso") is OMG, I freaking love this bronzer, it is hands down my favourite bronzer. The colour is just perfect for me (I'm the lightest ever) and it looks so natural, but I actually think that what I like the most about it is the texture, it's so buttery, it blends so well, nothing bad to say about it unless it's getting to pan to quickly!
The blushes are not my favourites, I mean these are not colours that I would personally purchase, but again, they add a soft colour to the face, not archly pigmented, one is on a pinky/peachy tone ("Huan Ying") and the other one is more shimmery and darker, a little bit like on a violet tone ("Dobrodosli").
The creamy products were a great experience for me because I had never tried it before, so I was pleasantly surprised. I was very skeptical about putting the same product that you put on the lip, on actual skin like the cheeks. But I fell a little bit in love applying the orangy tone ("Vitajte") on the cheeks, and the reddish tone ("Bem-Vindo") on the lips.
A smart point on this palette is that the creamy products oppening is not the same than the powder products oppening,which is really cool so you don't get messy with the cream products while using the powder ones.
And a little bonus on this palette is that inside you have a little "guide" to give you some ideas of what look to do and what combinations to do.
Finally the packaging that doesn't really need to be spoken about since The Balm is just freaking amazing on every packaging they have. Putting the boat steering wheel around the mirror is genius and the palm trees are super summery. The outside of the palette mentioning some countries is just bomb.
So I hope it helped you if you are just as complicated as me while you're packing, knowing it's the end of the summer, this palette can be used on winter holidays as well. If you have it, if you want to have it, if you want to share your opinion on it, don't hesitate on commenting what you think.
