The balm…? förstår??

Alright, alright, I know. Weak word play…but it’s so much fun.

Yes, I’m actually holding theBalm In the Balm of Your Hand palette ($39.50) in the palm of my hand…
The holidays have officially begun over at theBalm. Their new holiday 2015 collection is available now, and it’s just two pieces — actually, two palettes. one of them is called “In theBalm of Your Hand greatest Hits Vol. 1,” so you’ll literally be able to hold theBalm in the palm of your hand.

Both palettes are filled with some of the brand’s a lot of popular products, so there aren’t any new colors here. One consists of powder and cream products for eyes, cheeks and lips, and the other consists of a trio of powder highlighters.

theBalm In the Balm of Your Hand palette ($39.50)

Because these are both sort of “greatest hits” palettes, they’re a good way to get familiar with the brand if you aren’t already. With the $39.50 “In theBalm of Your Hand” palette, you get three blushes, one bronzer, a highlighter, four eyeshadows and two combo lip/cheek products, and yay! — some of them are things I’ve been wanting to try, like the hot mama and Instain blushes.

I’m always in favor of things that make my life easier, like the separate flap that covers the cream products in the “In theBalm of Your Hand” palette (in the in the?), so you can cover the creams and keep them clean while you’re working with the nearby powder products.

Isn’t that nice? No cross pollination!

theBalm The Manizer Sisters palette ($28)
Now, I haven’t played extensively with this palette yet, but I have worn the blushes, the bronzer and the highlighter. I’ve yet to explore the four eyeshadows, but I have used theBalm’s eyeshadows before, and I like ’em. They have an easy-to-blend, soft formula (comparable to too faced shadows); a lot of of them are very wearable, too, and have a healthy amount of pigment.

I’m also pretty ecstatic about The Manizer Sisters Palette. In it, you get three of theBalm’s bodacious highlighters — the amazing golden Mary-Lou Manizer, pinkish gold Cindy-Lou Manizer and bronzy gold Betty-Lou Manizer.

Bra! I think these are great. They remind me a lot of BECCA’s Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed highlighters. You can use them for soft and subtle effects, or turn that ish up to highlighter heaven. If you haven’t tried these highlighters yet, this palette’s a good way to get them all in one place.
