A little goes a long way with this stuff because too much does leave a greasy film feeling on the face but I have noticed a nice change in my skin since using a little bit of this stuff as a moisturizer.
I think Olay is on the right track with these products as I do like them but I wouldn't say they are the best of the best but, are worth a try.
PROS
Smell
Amount of Product
Moisturizing

All the shadow colours can be used wet or dry and the lip colours can apparently also double as a cheek colour.
The entire palette is also Talc and Paraben-free
I'm just absolutely in love with the shade names and the colours. You'll see what I mean in just a second!
Each colour's name is based on different bands from its own "era".
There are 3 different music era categories with four 10.8g shadows in each.
The palette also contains;
a 2.8g face highlighter, a 2.8g blush and
then there are two 4g lip colours.
The first set of shadows are your Heavy Metal colours, which are shimmery metallics.
Ready for the names?
Metal-ica- a shimmery silver
Iron Main-in - a shimmery gold
Lead Zeppelin - a shimmery Lead (my favourite)
Alice Copper - a shimmery Copper
The Heavy Metals are by far my favourite set of 4.
The next set of 4 are your Classical colours! These are all your neutral matte colours which I found fitting because they are your foundation, your basics and your old faithfuls.
They are:
Adagio - Beige Matte
Allegro - Brown Matte
Moderato - Dark purple matte
Presto - Deeper Brown Matte
The final Era is Alternative, They are all gorgeous colours.
This era contains
Blink 1982 -Light Mauve Shimmer
The Stroke - Deep Navy Shimmer
REM- Lilac Shimmer
Third Eye Blinded - Light Peach Shimmer
Your Highlighter is called "Solid Gold" in its own category of Disco Disco.
Your Blush is called "Don't you want me?" in the Category POP! POP!
The really exciting thing about the blush is that it is actually a small version The Balms "Fratboy" Blush which I also wanted to try at some point!
Last but not least you have the Lip Sync and Playback section which contains your two lip colours
Milly- Nude Lip
Vanilly -Berry Red Lip
All the colours are so soft and pigmented.
They honestly feel like silk on your eyelids!
I feel like The Balm is really stepping up their game and will soon become an even bigger beauty favourite for a lot of people in the near future.

I personally, don’t have any overly visible veins or skin discoloration on my eyelids but I can see how this would be fantastic for people who do because this primer has a very light yellow undertone to help off set any blue.
The consistency is creamy, it almost reminds me of the MAC studio finish concealer. That being said I feel like it may be a little to heavy for me because I do notice a little bit of creasing right after application; however, once I smooth it out again it seems to be fine.
As far as it's ability to secure eye shadow, it does a great job and lasts all day even on days when I start work at 4am.
I had heard of a lot of people using this as an under eye concealer/brightener so I decided to try it under the eye and it was terrible.
It creased so badly that it was unblendable and gave a very muddy appearance. I do have fairly dark under eye circles so I assumed that would be the case.
Overall this product was ok when used as a basic eyelid primer however I probably won't repurchase because it is a little on the expensive side ($26) and didn’t really WOW me.
