Hello my loves,

I am so sorry that I am so on and off on my blog. There is a lot going on and I just started a new studie. But I promise that I will upload 2 times a week again!

But today I have a battle of a dupe and a wel known and loved highlighter. 

I am talking about The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer. I think that a lot of people have this beauty or have heard about it. BUT! As some of you know W7 is knows that they "dupe" a lot of products. And as you expect they did with The Balm MAry-Lou Manizer. So thats how the W7 Glowcomotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow was born!

I have a little disclamer! I don't have the packaging of The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer anymore I have it for years and 2 years ago I depote it and put it in a Z-palette. And I know that a lot of people hate that W7 makes dupes but I have the product and I want to show it so you have a cheaper option.

Lets take a lot at the description of The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer:
Meet Mary-Lou Manizer, a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow. 

And on the W7 Glowcomotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow:

Glowcomotion can be used as a highlighter, shimmer or an eyeshadow. This handy, pigmented compact comes with an internal mirror containing a super shimmering, highlighting powder with a subtle golden glow.With a highly pigmented formula, cause a makeup commotion with glowcomotion.

Now lets take a look at the packaging of the W7 Glowcomotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow.

The packaging is very simple. I love the fact that the packaging is the same color as the highlighter. And it feels very sturdy. 

And on The Balm.

SWATCHES!

The 2 left swatches are from The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer the first left is with a brush and the second with my finger. And the right swatches are of the W7 Glowmotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow. And the left swatch is again with a brush and the right on is with my finger.
The shades are almost the same in my opinion. Only the W7 one is a little darker and golden.

Lets try them on the face!

Here you can see the highlighters side by side. As you can see the W7 one is a little darker than the one from The Balm.

At first lets try the W7 Glowcomotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow.

I love the look of this highlighter. It blends beautyfull on to the skin and it is nice and pigmented. And the color isn't dark. I think that this will look stunning on a lot of skintones.

And on this side I an wearing The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer.

As you can see this one is little les pigmented. I love this color as well! In my opinion it looks the same. I blends also very nice and again I think that a lot of people will love this shade. 

So I think both highlighters are stunning! When you have the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer already you don't need the W7 Glocowmotion Shimmer Highlighter Eyeshadow (but you never have anough highlighters)
