    Excellent video as usual, I love your reviews. FYI The Balm is sold at Kohls now, but I also always get mine on hautelook. The new Balm Voyage palette is excellent and the instain blushes are amazing, I bought a 3 pack at kohls and although you can't use coupons in their cosmetics you can use kohl cash.

  • @stampincass
    @stampincass 10 років тому +7

    I enjoyed this as I hear mentions of The Balm products but don't own any. I love all your videos....can I make a suggestion? I would find it helpful for my forgetful brain if you listed the products you reviewed and then rated it - hated it/loved it, etc...I just finished watching it and remember that you don't care for the lip stain....but not if there were other items that you wouldn't recommend.
    Thanks for posting - I like hearing your reviews of products within one brand.

    The Balm doesn't sell out fast on HauteLook anymore. It's been three days that The Balm has been on HauteLook and still every item is available and the prices are AMAZING!!! I just bought a bunch more items, esp more blushes and I'm gonna try their hair products. Oh and I have all their brushes, I loooove them. I have never been disappointed with any of The Balms products. I love everything I've ever purchased. 👍❤️❤️❤️

  • @alejandraarias4229
    @alejandraarias4229 6 років тому +1

    It's amazing because most of the products you love come in the "greatest hits volumen 1" palette. The incredible Bahama mama, the green/gold shadow from the Rockstar palette, blushes, highlighter, and yes, the covered lipstic

    Hey Jen.......love the video. I haven't purchased anything from the Balm yet been to scared too but now I will after that. I also grew up in that time 80s 90s and love the hairspray Bands!!! I will defiantly purchase that eyeshadow pallet....,but my question is I've heard you talk a lot about the hair mask by the Balm I've looked on Amazon and Birchbox (big shopper of both) could not find it on those two web sites where do you get the hair mask I want to try it BAD. Should I get it straight on there web site or is there somewhere else that has better prices.

    My daughter introduced me to The Balm. She bought a single color named "Shameless Shana" and it's her 'go to' 'holy grail' favorite eye shadow color in a medium gold shimmer. Her name just happens to be Shana so its easy to remember the shade. I found it on a site that carries The Balm, sometimes on sale but not as cheaply as Haute Look. It does have a good selection. It is called 6pm.com and it carries Stila and a few other brands.
    Thanks for sharing your stash and giving a marvelous review. I'm with you 100% on this one. The Balm is indeed THE BALM!
    Always a pleasure Jen! : ) xo

    Jen, I think IMO you have the best reviews. It's because of your honesty and your decent. So many of these young women here on YT don't care about what they say and it's refreshing to watch you. You keeping being nice and respectable. Sorry for sounding like a Mother type but well I am old enough to be your Mother and it's how I feel. Great video. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

    Hello Miss Jen! I know this video is almost 3 years old but glad I found this video. I bought the nude dude palette at Meijer for around $35-$40 and couldn't find any decent reviews or tutorials on this palette. Saw the Balm years ago on QVC or HSN, I am pretty sure but could be wrong. Love the palette but can't seem to make it work for me, I need more practice time (I'm 33 should be well practiced at my age but I'm not). So glad I found your channel a month ago maybe, then led me too the FB page, and I am learning so much from your channel, app, and FB page. Just wanted to share that with you. If you know of anyone that did a tutorial on the nude dude palette could u share the link with me? Very excited my local grocery store Meijer now carries the balm, Peter Thomas Roth, and so many more high end brands. It's awesome!

    Ok, can you tell I'm having a Jen's Reviews morning??? Anywho, I was glad to see this review as I have heard a lot about The Balm recently but when I visited their website, I was a little put off by the prices as I wasn't sure if the products were worth it or not. I LOVED the colors and names of the Balm Jovi pallette and I was considering buying one for myself and maybe even my MOM as we are both huge fans of him and make-up. I know you said you get a lot of yours at the Hautelook sales and I thank you for that sight address as well. Also, I do have a Kohls here and I will check there as well. Thanks to whoever posted that.

    • @jenluv
      @jenluv  9 років тому +1

      Wendy Edler Yeah, I never buy stuff from The Balm at full price. Almost all of their products end up on Haute Look eventually. And sometimes Kohls has stuff that even their website doesn't have. It really is a fabulous brand!

  • @Paras98895
    @Paras98895 10 років тому

    Thanks for the review! I too had never seen a review of timebalm on YT. I'm definitely going to get next time it goes on haute look. It's hard to tell true skin color on YT so what shade are you in Mac? I'm a NW20, so do you think light in the concealer would work? Thanks again :-)

  • @lutheranchick13
    @lutheranchick13 10 років тому +1

    Have you ever tried the Stainiac on your cheeks? I hated it as a lip product, but I love it as blush! The best way I've found to apply it is to put a little directly on my stipple brush since it stains so quickly, and swirl it on my cheeks really fast. It's a nice, natural looking flush, and stays put for a good while. Maybe you'd like it better that way? Just a suggestion;) Great video! Did you see they came out with Cindy Lou-Manizer?? Need...

  • @kellyj6456
    @kellyj6456 10 років тому

    I agree with everything you said, except I DO really like the Nude 'Tude palette, however, I enjoy the Matt palette and Rock palette much more. Mary Lou-Manizer is also a FABULOUS highlighter! The only thing that didn't work for me as well, but I still love, is the Bahama Mama bronzer. My skin is too dark to notice the color, so I end up grabbing for my holy grail of bronzers: Warmth by Bare Minerals. Anyways, I really enjoyed your tutorial. Thanks so much for the humor!

    • @jenluv
      @jenluv  9 років тому

      I haven't used erase paste, but a friend of mine from college swears by it. She has a lot of discoloration and acne scars and it's her go to product. As far as primers, I personally like Benefit's just a little better. Simply because it fills pores better. Both increase the longevity of my makeup at about the same level of awesomeness. Hope that helps and thanks for subscribing! :)
