Hi Girls,

Do you feel a thrill when you find a dupe of a famous and costly makeup product? I know you do. Well, I was pretty thrilled upon finding a dupe of The Balm Voyage which costs about $22. ADS Balm Voyage which is an eye plus lip palette. It consists 16 eye shadows and 3 lip colors on the other hand costs only INR 249. The eye shadow shades are exactly like The Balm palette. So now you can experience the balm eye makeup looks within 249 bucks. Even the packaging is same. There are various other versions of the palette too. But I chose this one as it consists of lots of beautiful shades.

I have never bought any eye palette from The Balm. I am not sure what kind of performance is to be expected from this high end brand. But after creating multiple eye looks with ADS The Balm Voyage Eye Palette, I think it’s no lesser than any high end brand. Let me share my experience with the product.

My Experience With ADS The Balm Voyage Eye Palette

The eye shadows of the palette are fine textured. They are easy to take on an eye shadow brush tip and easy to be applied. They blend easily without any major fallout. Every eye shadow is pigmented nicely. The light shades might require 2-3 swipes while the dark shades give nice color even with single swipe.

The longevity of the eye shadows is very impressive. I have worn the dark shade for entire days while the light shades too stays for about 5-6 hours. The palette has not been compromised in terms of quality. The lip shades are average in terms of longevity though, They stay on lips for an average of 2 hours.

I really like using this palette as it is versatile and it can be used to achieve day-night as well as casual & festive eye looks. The palette is quite big but would fit in your  travel bag for sure. It is a must have for me. I can use it to create simple as well as dramatic eye looks.

    I have tried 2 of their theBalm palette dupes and its a mix of both super chalky and decently pigmented shades. This one sounds fair too.
