Overall Thoughts:
The Balm Cosmetics' Mary-Lou Manizer® AKA "The Luminizer" is a gift from the gods. This is currently my favorite highlighter at the moment. If you want to shine bright like a diamond, than I suggest you haul butt to the internet to purchase Mary. There is nothing subtle about her. This universally flattering highlight applies effortlessly and melts onto your skin without feeling heavy. The buttery formulation blends like no other and doesn't accentuate pores. The shimmer is so finely milled that the finish can be described more pearlescent than glittery. It is non-streaky and it doesn't transfer on the skin. Although this highlighter is not what I would consider "subtle", you can still amplify it if you like by using it wet. This technique will give you more of a metallic finish. To date, I have used this highlighter for the cheeks, the brow bone, the inner eye corner and even as an eyeshadow. I love the tongue in cheek packaging and love how sleek it is considering there is a huge mirror in the lid. I have read several reviews saying that it sucks for travel but I have had really good luck. ::::knocks on all the wood:::: Mary-Lou Manizer® AKA "The Luminizer" lasted about 8.5 hours on me before fading into a dewy look which I did not mind one bit. I know some people are kind of iffy about the price but if you do the math you get a lot of product for what you pay. The math comes out to be $2.82 per gram. I would recommend you take advantage when they have a sale going on cause they really do sales the right way. I will purchasing the other two sisters to try them out because Mary can't live in my drawers without the rest of her family keeping her company.
