This $8 Glow Balm Is Better Than The Expensive Version
You may have heard of Bobbi Brown's latest makeup line, Jones Road, whose cream blush Miracle Balm wowed the Internet with its glowy finish and multipurpose usage. The catch? It's $40.
Yet while researching Miracle Balm, I found a doppelgänger blush on Amazon which retails for three times less and which reviewers are positively raving over. Fans insist that this Bayfree glow balm is a great substitute for the Jones Road version. The result? A cheaper, easily blendable, positively glowy balm-blush hybrid that doesn't feel greasy and sticky on the skin.
Reviewers are literally calling it 'delightful' and a 'dynamite' swap, declaring that the Bayfree balm has essentially won the war between the two beauty products. 'Sorry, Bobbi Brown,' wrote one reviewer. 'I tried you first, and BayFree wins in the end.'
Older reviewers especially appreciate this beauty product, which adds a subtle, 'slightly iridescent' glow to the skin while still looking pleasantly natural due to its sheer, buildable formula (and without looking glittery). 'I'm 71 years old and still want to look good, but I no longer want to wear all the makeup I used to,' explained one reviewer named Judith. After trying the BayFree balm, she reported that 'it works like a a recent party, everyone wanted to know what I had done to look so good NATURALLY.'
Folks also love it for helping them quickly look put together when they're busy and short on time, with little effort. 'If I want to run someplace quick and don't feel comfortable without some makeup, a little of this across the bridge of my nose and cheeks and what a difference!' a reviewer named Taylor wrote.
The trick to making this multi-use blush work its magic? 'Smash your thumb into it,' according to one reviewer.
