Bobbi Brown Shimmer brick in pink quartz

[Housewife2010]

This is on Buyapowa & I'm tempted. Has anyone tried it? What do you think? Is it very shimmery?

It's great but I buy the body shop copy cat version as its at least £10 cheaper. Yeah its shimmery so during the day a little is all you need

V shimmery but I adore the shimmer bricks. I have a normal, an eyesone and a bronzing one. They make me feel all youthful and fresh

Would you say they're too shimmery for daytime? I don't go out at night anymore & spend my like at playgroups & the school run but I'm going through a makeup obsession at the moment & keep buying it! It looks so pretty.

I use it in the daytime (I have nooooo social life past kids bedtime ) - I use a massive blusher brush and swirl it lightly, then apply on cheeks, temples and across eyelids. It's just enough to give a bit of luminosity and freshness. It wakes me up, makes me not look so shattered. Just go lightly - but that said, the bronzer one will be on the third summer this year and still loads left so worth every penny I think. The reviews on QVC for it are excellent too :)

Go for it - life is too short to be matte.

You are naughty. I think you've forced me to succumb. I've just been paid £29 by Quidco so I suppose that makes it free.
If anyone is interested, it's on Buyapowa at the moment. The more people who buy the more the price will go down. It's currently £24.50 & could go as low as £22.50 (plus £1.75 p&P)
I have trawled through lots of makeup alley reviews but you're the one who has persuaded me! If it makes me look like a Strictly contestant on the school run I'll know who to blame!

heh heh :) I love make up and shizzle. Feels gooooood to be girly! :o @ Strictly! I love Strictly toooooo

I really don't like it

Look at Alison Young on QVC as a reason why NOT to wear it. It's far too shimmery, would just about be ok for evenings.

I like it but you really need to go easy and look in mirror in good light before you drop the kids at school.

val! :o

Lightly applied it's ace. Same as luminising moisturiser - too much and it's glittertastic. Lightly done, tres chic.

Ok, will take your word for it as you are a fellow sheep BUT I have yet to see someone wearing it where it looks nice and I ALWAYS know they are wearing it because I can spot it a mile off so am not convinced

haha!

Nah, the only reason dear Alison Young looks a bit dodgy wearing it is because she wears WAY too much. She overdoes it on the eyeliner too.

For a beauty 'pert she sure is fugly.

ooh that was nasty. True but nasty.

I shall go and think about my behaviour whilst flicking through a mag

Oh I like her. When she isn't being gobby and rolling out her favourite phrases (she has a thing about busy nurses doesn't she?) she's actually very knowledgeable and has a very dry sense of humour.

I watch too many QVC beauty shows

Ha ha yes the shift workers and nurses always cracks me up too. She wears SO much blusher, someone needs to tell her!

I've just checked this thread now & I'm worried. What have I done? I don't want to be scarily sparkly at the school gates - I want to look luminously beautiful & well-rested!

I was given a shimmer brick as a gift. I hate it. Makes me look like I've been exposed to radiation no matter how lightly I apply it. Sorry.
