Hey there
beauties :-h I’m back in full force ATM, LOL :)) (well as forceful as I can be during this
long slow process of needing a replacement PC) 8-| Anyway, I’m not about to let that rain on my parade, hehe ;)) As the saying goes the show
must go on, \:D/ so I’ll keep on plugging on and make
the most of my resources as I slowly but surely get through publishing my
growing backlog of product reviews! B-)
It goes without saying that when you have a
red, angry bump on your face there is some urgency to make it disappear, whilst
effectively disguising it in the meantime to avoid feeling self-conscious. :"> Most OTC (over the counter) topical skin care treatments that target pimples basically dry
out and strip the skin of its oils, which then will produce even more oil to
compensate for the loss, exacerbating the condition and causing more breakouts
than before. :-O Likewise, applying too much makeup or
cosmetic solutions designed to cover-up flaws can look obvious and accentuate the
problem; in addition it can lead to clogged pores, making the blemishes
worse. ~X( What would be the best way to overcome this dilemma? Simple, how about a less invasive spot remedy
that is free of nasty chemicals and is instead, infused with natural skin
purifying, bacteria fighting ingredients, such as tea tree oil and an array of vitamins,
all formulated into a tinted liquid base that soothes problem skin and camouflages
redness to help achieve a clear, healthy-looking complexion, free of
imperfections. O:-) Enter theBalm Liquid TimeBalm
Spot Concealer. This product was
sent to me by Tammerly from Spoilt to try out and review for her
beauty blog, which you can find linked here. :) Here are my thoughts:
The outer
cardboard packaging of theBalm Liquid TimeBalm
Spot Concealer is green in colour with white print, which to me is a
reflection of the toxic-free, more natural formulation and is pleasantly
appealing to the eye. The inner tube
features the same colour scheme, is 10gms in size and is similar in appearance to
a lipgloss with a twist off lid attached to a long stem that has a foam tip to
serve as the applicator. The convenient
packaging makes it ideal to pop in my handbag and use for touch-ups on the
go. ;)
The
liquid itself has a medicinal-type, scent that smells noticeably of the
included tea tree oil, but it’s not at all offensive and fades soon after
applied. :"> With a lightweight, creamy texture and a medium to thick
consistency, it blends smoothly to even out my skin tone. Surprisingly, this formula is well pigmented,
providing exceptional opaque coverage that hides all my unsightly flaws,
including zits, surface veins and facial redness, along with under eye
bags. ;;) The formula is non-drying and non-greasy, yet nourishing
to the skin, calming inflammation and irritation, protecting against damaging environmental
aggressors and treating problem areas rapidly.
I have the Honey shade, which is a perfect match for my skin tone,
creating a soft, flawless finish that looks perfectly natural. The staying
power is brilliant, with no fading, flaking during the day, however I like to
apply regular touch-ups on newly formed blemishes, to help fast-track their lifespan
and despite adorning several layers, my skin doesn’t have a pasty, caked on
appearance. <:-P
Honey, one if three available shades. |
Overall, theBalm Liquid TimeBalm
Spot Concealer is a full function skin care product and complexion
perfecting makeup all rolled into one. =D> Unlike other zit zappers I’ve tried, which are harsh and
dry out my skin, or concealers that cause congestion and trigger more breakouts,
this dual performance pimple elixir has a powerful moisturising formula that is
loaded with skin nurturing goodness that accelerates the natural healing and
repairing process, whilst optimal coverage effectively improves the unsightly
appearance and ensures my imperfections remain unnoticeable. :D It’s
not a miracle worker, so fully blown bumps won’t be magically cured with a
single dab; however, it effectively promotes recovery and gives me confidence
and peace of mind to face the world knowing my complexion is unblemished and
fabulous. :x I am loving the full effect of theBalm Liquid TimeBalm
Spot Concealer and am awarding it with 5 stars out of 5, (*) (*) (*)
(*) (*) it’s my new Holy
Grail concealing spot treatment that I seriously can not fault. Exceptional!!! :-*
Tip - *-:) It’s
is wise to consider the ‘less is more’ approach when using this concealer,
because you only need the tiniest amount for effective results.
Have you found the perfect zit solution, one that conceals and heals? How do you normally hide those unsightly spots without making them get worse? The images in this post are all generic.

Thank you so much Vicky, actually I was probably hiding even further under a rock than you in this case, because prior to this trial I honestly hadn't even heard of TheBalm, so it was a whole new experience for me and one that I thoroughly enjoyed ;-)
