As a result, the pump will twist back down.  I love this type of packaging.  Since the pump sits snugly inside of the lid, there is no way that it can leak product, spill or make a mess.  Therefore, this type of packaging is easy to travel with.

Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm Last But Not Least…..

I realize that the moisturizing balm is very expensive.  However, you need half a pump to highlight your face.  Also, you would need one-to-two pumps to use it as a primer before makeup.  What I love most about it is, it gives immediate results.  For example, the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes disappeared.  Although, over time you see long-term skin-improving results.  Also, you can wear the balm alone as an illuminating primer.  On the other hand, you can wear it on top of your makeup to customize the perfect natural glow.  It delivers dewy, incandescent skin on contact.

Also, there is no glitter, or sparkle.  Instead, the ingredients are more high-end than other brands that have similar products.  As a result, the balm feels more luxurious.  Also, it feels thicker.  It is definitely a more “grown up” product as a result of the quality that other hybrids don’t have.
