Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Review

I've never been much of a highlighter person, being an oily-skinned girl in my mind shiny was never a good thing. I've been playing around with various highlighting products this year and after hearing sooo many good things about Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick I had to give it a go. I admit I didn't pay full price for mine, and before using it I wouldn't have done but with how much I love it I really thing it's worth the investment.

This is the first Bobbi Brown product I have owned and I was impressed by the quality of the packaging, sleek and well-made with no unnecessary dazzle, it lets the product speak for itself and it's sturdy enough to withstand travel.

The shimmer brick is made up of five shimmering powders, a white and four bronzes. The product is very fine and pigmented, a little goes a very long way. Being an amateur I was worried I'd go overboard but it's incredibly easy to blend in and create a really nice glow.

I like to apply this using a rounded kabuki brush after I apply my bronzer and blush, running the brush lightly through the brick, picking up a little of each colour and then brushing it across my cheekbones. I've also used this as an eyeshadow palette when travelling as the colours are such pretty, shimmering bronzes and you can create so many looks from them.

I normally wouldn't spend so much on a highlighter but this product is so much more and really takes my makeup to the next level. When I'm looking less than fab, this is the product I reach for to perk me up (or at least look like it!). Because of how little product you use at a time I see this lasting a very long time and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a really lovely highlighter.

Back in my pre-child life when I worked full time I would buy a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick at the beginning of each Summer. The Bronze Shimmer Brick was by far my favourite and I almost wept when it ran out! It always went on smoothly and was very long-lasting, with a fantastic shimmer/glittery-glow!

This is a super great highlighter, it gives the most beautiful bronze glow and it's super reflective but I honestly think you can find something exactly the same from another brand. Like I'm pretty sure these are between $80-$100 at farmers and it's so not worth it. The product lasts a long time and can be used as a bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadows but I just don't think I would ever spend that much money again on a highlighter

This shade shimmer brick has a blend of iridescent pink, copper and bronze shades which when blended together gives a bronzy pink with a hint of glitter. The compact of course if super luxe with rose gold writing and pan and a large mirror inside the compact for application.

Unfortunately this is too dark for me to use as highlighter. I do however use it as an eyeshadow and it’s gorgeous for this purpose.

I love this product, it has multiple uses, I use it as a bronzer or light blush on cheekbones, eyes and as a highlighter. Gives a lovely soft shimmer, not a lot of powder fallout, and it’s lasted well time wise but also with travel and not broken up when getting carted round in a makeup case. I use with a blush brush or eyeshadow brush and both work fine.

I’m not particularly good at applying makeup but this product provides an easy solution. And it goes a really long way!

This product not only makes you look amazing but it lasts forever!! I've had it for years, and it's still as good as the first day I brought it.

My first ever Bobby Brown product, I brought one off trademe that was barely used, the photo doesn't do it justice!

It is very pigmented, a small amount goes a long way, you can build up the colour as much as you like and its easy to blend. I used to use this as an eyeshadow for the inner corners of my eyes and under the arch of my brow. It looks great putting a small amount on your cupids bow, this product is so versatile! Sadly last year it dropped off my counter and smash the shimmer brick, I have recently purchased the Chichi shimmer brick which is good but not as amazing as the Bobby Brown highlighter. Its on my list of things to buy again, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to purchase a powder highlighter, this is the best quality highlighter I have tried and worth the money if you can afford it.
