The Balm Luminizer range has such a cult following, so when I saw Debenhams were getting a palette that contained all three of these famous star powders, I knew it was something people would go a bit crazy for!
The Balm The Manizer Sisters Luminizers Palette is a beautifully presented (as with all The Balm products) trio of ultra shimmering, multi-use powders. The palette is limited edition and contains travel-sizes of the powders, which I was quite surprised about as they certainly don’t look travel-sized – had I not read that, I would’ve assumed they were full-sized.
The three powders included are, from left to right (and right to left in finger swatches below), Mary-Lou Manizer (cool champagne), Cindy-Lou Manizer (pink champagne) and Betty-Lou Manizer (warm bronze). I really love a cool highlighter so my favourite of the bunch is mary-Lou Manizer, but I also love the warmth of Cindy-Lou Manizer. ย I think the one that I’ll use the least is Betty-Lou Manizer since it’s a high shine bronze that’ll be a bit wasted on me.
The great thing about this trio is that they all can be used for various different things on top of their “luminizing” purpose. ย All three can be used as eyeshadows (Betty-Lou is very warm so will make blue eyes pop) and Cindy-Lou is apparently a very good highlight for contouring, so presumably it would be great for strobing too, although I’m sure the same could be said for Mary-Lou.
The texture, as you’d expect, is like melted butter, they’re almost cream-like in their ease of use and ability to blend seamlessly into skin. ย When I first saw The Balm The Manizer Sisters Luminizers Palette I expected it to cost a small fortune, so I was very pleased to find out that it’s only ยฃ24, making it ยฃ8 per powder – how’s that for good value? A gorgeously packaged trio of highlighting essentials at a very good price – it lands at Debenhams on 1st October 2015 and I’d move quickly as I can see it flying off the shelves.
*PR Sample

Hi Farjana,
That’s a really good point and I’m not sure why it isn’t up yet – I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the next couple of days, then e-mail the PR if needs be xx
Hi sorry to harass but do you have any updates?
Hi Farjana,
I’m so sorry, I am in touch with the PR but I haven’t managed to secure a link yet, for some reason! Quite a few people have been in touch so as soon as something’s up, I’ll blog about it. Fingers crossed it won’t be much longer xx
Hi do we have a confirmed date for this as it’s still not available on the website
Hi Stefanie,
I’m still trying to decipher what’s going on but I’ll write a blog post update as soon as I know, so sorry I can’t provide anything more helpful at this point! xx
