THE BALM! THE OVERSHADOW THE SEXPOT SERIES!
Oh ladies! I could not WAIT to give you the Wednesday, Jeanasina, Body Beautiful slant on... The Balm Overshadow – the sexpot series!!! If I were to try to convey to you in 4 vivid words the best possible words to describe this line it would be...”Sirens Signify Sexpot Shadow"! I'm not kidding you...just open up the website to purchase the Balm Overshadow! And when you DO go to this page, you will see 4 Vixens right out of my past!
I had a total deja vu when I looked at these four women! When I was a little girl, curious as little girls are, I would go to my little friend's house and we'd grab her divorced Mom's playboy magazines and sneak off with them. Well, my little friend and I would go hide in her playhouse and look at those old Playboys and the women in those magazines looked exactly like the steaming hot sirens on the Balm sexpot series website page! It's the same style of vamping sexpot! I wanted to grow up to look like they did! Those women are absolutely pulsating off the website! If you look at those women – I mean really look – you can only imagine how other men and women would look at those women – and yearn to touch one of them! These are the kind of women that make men, young and old, stop in their tracks and take notice! The nylons and garters, the flimsy, barely there little wisps of material some of them have on...these women create a need in the people who see them.
Now take a deep sigh of contentment and appreciation of what I just wrote and listen to this! The Sexpot Series Overshadow is completely in line with the images they have chosen to represent this line! I used words like 'Sirens Signify Sexpot Shadow” earlier in my review and this 'overshadow' signifies that indeed! Sirens spend a lot of time making sure their eyes are as compelling as the rest of them are and let me say this, the Overshadow definitely made my eyes compelling too! I could hardly take my own eyes off of my own eyes in my rear view mirror!!! 
! The urge to constantly admire my subtle yet sexy newly renovated Overshadow eyes today had me lost in delight! The Overshadow I received is called “Work is Overrated” (How ironic is that since I'm laid off!) It's like the most translucent pinkish/silvery touch of angel dust where-ever you put it! I used it under my brows and at the corner of my eyes and I just had fantastic yet subtle sparkle about me! I experimented putting it under and over other shadows and no matter what I did with it – I LIKED THE RESULTS! It also lasted and lasted! We want things we REALLY like to LAST and LAST don't we people! Exactly! It didn't come with a brush, however you can order one for $8.00 on the website or just do what I did and use your own favorite brush for application! The shadow has a plastic disc over it with little holes that slowly shake out little snippets of the magical contents.
It comes in a very small jar that you can hold in the palm of your hand. If a thief should come into your home at the exact moment you are applying your new Overshadow, you can quickly screw the cap back on and fold the tin into the palm of your hand and keep it hidden from any freak show make-up bandits. I'm just saying that this product is going to be one of your favorites so you'll be careful to never let it out of your sight! It's a killer bombshell of a partner to the Mary-Lou-Manizer reviewed recently! Seriously...if you were armed with both the Balm Cosmetics products... the Mary-Lou-Manizeer AND the Sexpot Series Overshadow things can happen! It could be that the next time you put on your flannel pajamas and enter a room, you'll just be wearing the top, your hair will be all brushed to one side and you'll be smiling because you just took a look in the mirror and felt SO good about how sexy the Overshadow made you feel! I know wearing it today changed my mood and while I was out shopping at my favorite little thrift store – I tried on some size XL jeans that actually made me look good! LOL! It's gotta be the Balm!
So my advice to you is....Ladies... fire up your garter belts and get yourself some Sexpot Series Overshadow today!
Buy It Here!
Who else LOVES The Balm as much as we do! Meg cannot live without Balmshelter! She would die without it!!

My favorite product of theirs is the Lip Gloss, Cocoa my Coconut, it's the perfect nude gloss.
Ooooooh how pretty is that, I love mineral makeup with no chemicals and all the colours look really pretty I may have to invest in some of these <3
I will laugh all day over a thief coming into my house to get my favorite new eyeshadow!! Thank you for that. However, I am with you. Take anything, but DO NOT TOUCH my makeup stash. I will disarm said thief with a blast of Elnet - it will hold anything.
oh my goodness i'm sold just by looking at the picture, i love anything vintage! the shadow looks beautiful!

OOOOO i like i like! Ive never tired mineral make up! but ive always wanted to!! the packaging is soo cute!!! ive never tried this brand either!! but everybody seems to love it!! IF ONLY MEG WAS SANTA!! =D
Jeanasina, you once again made me smile, laugh, and feel nostalgic. You have a way with words!!RoXySurFinGrL28 said it, we need Meg to be Santa (or at least have Meg give Santa pointers)!!I haven't tried The Balm products yet but they sound GROOVY! I love sparkle and things that feel magical, and wow, sounds like this product will do the trick!!
I have never heard of these until now so of course I haven't tried them but now I am dying to try them. They sound so wonderful!!! My husband is gonna put me in AA for makeup if I keep up my addiction and wanting to buy this and try that lol!
hahah lol "freak show make-up bandits." wow what would they look like? i'm scared! This sounds interesting, you really make it sound awesome! I love the packaging of course!
who loves makeup? me me ME!
This line so great! I am going to try it. Thanks Jeanasina!
This line sounds so great! I am going to try it. Thanks Jeanasina!
That looks awesome!! I love the packaging of this brand.
lovely review... i never heard of this brand before!
the second time you guys reviewed this... it must be good!now i want it mooooore...
Thanks for the review, I was playing with these last week when I was at Sephora, but passed on them. I don't know why, but every time I'm at Sephora, I head over to TheBalm display, play with the stuff, like it, but don't buy it. Next time I'm there, I will not let myself walk out of the store unless I buy one of their products. I've never heard a bad review about them.
I know what you mean Jeanasina! This line is really good for the ol' shoulders back, chin up, boobs at attention kind of feelin'! I don't know how they do it but it's like they mix the exact right amount of illumination into their stuff. You sparkle without actually sparkling. I got mine in, you buy I'll fly, it's a very pretty bronzey color with bits of gold throughout. It plays up my brownish/greenish eyes really well. It only takes a quick swipe of this mineral shadow with a bit of black liner to make your eyes the focus of your face. I like it layered or all on it's own, obviously the former adds fantastic depth while the latter is more sheer and natural looking. The Balm is quickly becoming one of my favorite makeup lines. I just love they way they look at the world, don't you? Sooooo Sexay!
I love theBalm! I'm a big fan of the BalmShelter like Meg, as well as their Shady Lady palette and Stainiac lip and cheek stain. I'd love to try more stuff from the brand, especially with these reviews!
Love the packaging!
lovely review! Thanks for sharing!Off to check the website now!

Of COURSE I received "You Buy,I'll Fly" with the adorable redhead on the lid to try: amazing shimmer,the perfect shade to make my amber-brown eyes glow,and really a fabulous product over another color,used wet as a liner,or dusted on alone! I'm rocking a bit of a "Twilight-inspired" look this season,darker red hair,only a shimmer on my cheeks,dark lipstick,and THIS shadow dusted around my eyes....I'm getting LOTS of attention and really like the change of pace!Jeana,simply the funniest and most delightful review,thanks so much!
I like the sifter type jars, very versatile. Thanks for the link.
Haven't tried any of these yet but I also love that old school glamour look, very sexy, and these little tins look so cute!

oooh lala and what fabulously pretty packaging.... I WANT NOW!!....(mini tantrum :))
oh my, I feel sexier already and I don't even own the stuff lol. Can't wait til Boxing Day! Sephora, here I come!

Thanks for the great review Jeanasina! And so sorry to hear you were laid off, hope you manage to get something else soon. <3 This shadow looks lovely, I really like subtle highlighters - especially mineral ones!

I love mineral shadows, don't get me wrong, but there are gorgeous ones from companies on the Net at a fraction of the price.
Still - the packaging is great!
Even after all of these glowing reviews I have not yet tried this product line. However, this site just has the cutest products, packaging and descriptions. As an unemployed chica though, I have to agree with seeingstars.
Looks amazing but never heard of this brand
Love the packaging will have to look into this brand. Last time I checked out a brand because of the packaging/name was Urban Decay and that's a love affair for the ages.
It seems like vintage-type packaging is becoming a trend -- I like!
haven't tried these but LOVE the look of it! might have to try this out. :)
Err... the packaging definitely isn't for me but it sounds like a good product.

Pretty packaging... Work is Overrated is calling out to me!
I just saw these at a Sephora and I have to say I really like this brand.. their packaging is also so adorable! Great find! Definitely like mineral eyeshadows too; wish there were more color choices.

Haven't tried anything from this brand, I will have to see if it's available over here, or if anything is on ebay! :PLove your review Jeanasina, you really make it sound fabulous and I'm dying to get my hands on it!
I'm going to have to take a good look at the balm products, I've never really paid attention to them in the past.

this eyeshadow looks hot, i love the container, great review, i wish they sold it here, i'm gona head to the website now !
I just love that it has the word sexpot on the label ;)
i haven't tried overshadow YET but i ❤ time balm with all the love in my cold, black heart! it's amazing and feels great and blends really, really well - i may have to sashay back to sephora for overshadow this week! the 'if you're rich, i'm single' looks gorgeous and i'm intrigued by the eye makeup remover too.
Each time I read a review from this company, I'm starting to get convinced that I NEED something from them. I absolutely love the packaging. Plus, the product itself sounds great!
I haven't tried anything from the Balm yet. I've been reading so many good thing about their products recently, and I think I need to purchase something. I've been really interested in trying the blushes and now I want to try these shadows as well :) All the colours are gorgeous.
I haven't tried anything from the Balm either, but now I really really want to! The Overshadow series sounds amazing, totally droolworthy!
Pinup beauty is beyond compare! Real girl glamor with a burlesque vibe all night! Haven't tried the products, but in love with the packaging.
The Balm is an amazing brand that I discovered through this website!! I've really been wanting to try the lip and cheek stain; I think it's called Stainiac? Their eyeshadows are super pigmented and great quality!
This looks neat - I may have to try this at some point. Bummer the whole ingredients aren't on Sephora, though. I'd love to know if they have bismuth.

Sounds Cool...
I love the packaging and the colours, I must find out whether I can get the brand in my country.
I had never heard of an overshadow before but that is awesome! You can just glam us your work eyeshadow instead of re-applying everything. I checked out the Sephora website and I like far too many of The Balms items. I now have to have their lip balm (because net proceeds go to the pug rescue organization...which I am a huge fan of, since I have 2 pugs of my own). I also want the overshadow, a lip stain, and a lip gloss...and I am just getting started. Best of all, their products can fit into my budget!

Love the packaging...which is usually a good enough reason for me to buy!!
I havnt tried this brand yet but the last few reviews have been pretty fab! and i love mineral shadows. I usually foil them on the lids and then brush a little higher for s two tone look. Soon as I recover from christmas im going to splurge a little and try some new brands!
