Because the girls I had lunch with the other were so ecstatic when we were handed out a little token from attending a small gathering by Everest Pacific at Inagiku at Shangri-la Makati, I did not waste any time and explored the product immediately.
It was a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact that I’ve no idea how to use. Do I use it separately as an eye shadow? or do I blend it all together as a blush? They said its a highlighter others said its a bronzer. Whadaheck! I’ll use it whatever way I want.
Product Info (from Bobbi Brown)
The original Shimmer Brick Compact. This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a deep, bronzy glow. Works well with neutral and deep blush shades.
How to use:
They suggest using a stippling brush and swipe it all throughout the five shades and apply on the cheekbones. Use the lightest shade under the browbone as highlighter. But if you are as experimental as me use it as a blusher and an eye shadow at the same time! haha!
Swatches
All shades swatched separately
All shades sweeped together
As a bronzer/blusher on my cheeks
Without the shimmer brick
With the shimmer brick
Used as an eyeshadow
What I think about it:
- It has a lot of shimmer and glitter. I feel like I was Edward Cullen catching the suns rays while wearing it!
- As it is its a beautiful product perfect for those who rave about bronzers
- I think its perfect to use at nigh time on a party
- The shades are very pigmented
- I would love to try the other shades as well
- The effect of the Bronze shimmer brick may vary depending on my skintone, it might not look the same for those with a lighter skintone .
I am Edward Cullen!
Do I recommend it?
Its a nice addition to the makeup collection of makeup lovers out there. Its sold at $39.00 at Sephora.com which is holding a free shippin for all August sales right now. If you are a fan of shimmer and glow go ahead and get one or all five shades available (Nectar, Rose, Pink Quartz, Beige and of course the classic Bronze)!
How about you, have you tried any Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks? What is your favorite shade?
Stay gorgeous everyone!
