The Balm Betty Lou Manizer Review & Swatches And Recap of the Manizer Sisters

This week (yes, I know it's Wednesday LOL), I'll cover the rest of the bronzers in my collection (I only have 4 left)! Let's start with bad-ass Betty Lou! The Balm describes its Betty-Lou Manizer as a BRONZER! Well, it's a VERY PIGMENTED & SHIMMERY one! Betty Lou is a BRONZE, COPPERISH-GOLD shade. It's very pretty ... but because of the shimmer, I wouldn't put this ALL OVER YOUR FACE! Below, I used it on my nose, cheeks, lips and as an eye-shadow. It really complimented my medium skin-tone. I'm going to use it more as a highlighter.  I did some comparison swatching of some other bronzers I have in my collection. The only thing that I had, that came close to this was MAC x Mariah Carey's My Mimi. But even it is a little lighter. Betty Lou has some serious pigment-punch to her. A little will go a long way. I contoured my face using Tarte's Tarteist Pro Glow in SCULPT. I'm wearing L'Oreal's Pro Glow Foundation. To sum these sisters up, I think anyone can wear Mary Lou! Mary Lou is just UNIVERSAL. I wasn't too hip on Cindy Lou, but that's because of my skin-tone HaHaHa On someone lighter, it's a beautiful shade (but I still think there are other pink highlighters that are prettier such as; Pixi x Aspyn Ovard Rome Rose; Benefit Dandelion Twinkle and Benefit High Beam). The darker you are, the prettier Betty Lou gets! Realize in the picture below, I am VERY bronzed up! These sisters are also offered in a trio, but of course a smaller pan. So weigh your options. Have a great day!

  2. Wow, you look all summery and glowy that way. I don't think it would work on my paler skin, but it suits you a lot.

  3. The Betty Lou looks fab on you, Kim:) Not gonna lie....I hate anything shimmery when I use bronzers, but this looks great on you. And they should have added "Emmy Lou" in the collection...bwahaha

  5. Wow! I've only ever seen one other bronze product this light, and it was actually an eyeshadow. I don't love bronze shades on my eyes but I realise now I could probably repurpose that shadow as a bronzer. This shade is gorgeous on you, Kim, and it really does look universally flattering.

  6. That looks really nice on you! Not sure how it would look on me right now but might look good with a tan.

  7. Betty Lou gives you the perfect sun kissed glow Kim! Thanks for your reviews and rundown on all of these. If I were to get one I'd probably go for Mary Lou since you said it is universal :D

  8. Ooooh! Even if the pale pink didn't do the job, these one looks nice on you! I think it'll be dark on my skin, but will check it out when I tan!

  10. This looks like a gorgeous product on your! I think it would be way to dark on me but maybe for a blush topper or something. Mary Lou Manizer will still be my all time favourite of the Manizers. I love it so much and have had it for years!

  15. This week's shares all have such super cute packaging, haha! Anyway, the bronzer looks so good on your skin, giving you such a beautiful summer-y glow. I've never really tried shimmery bronzers before, but I should because they really give that sun kissed glow that looks so beautiful with a tan. Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great weekend ahead!
