This was something i had ogled over for ages, but honestly, i did find it hard to justify the price tag, so put it off for a long time. Luckily for me, a beautiful BR babe was parting with this, and i snapped it up in a heart beat.
This shimmer brick comes in a black shiny square palette, with the words Bobbi Brown in white. So simply yet classy and sophisticated. This is one of the product i love having out whether i use it or not, just because it looks so classy. The palette has a flip top lid, which closes really securely, and it has a handy mirror inside.
I have this in the shade Bronze, which has 5 shades (and i am pretty sure its the same as the one in this display picture for this review product). It has gorgeous shade which look beautiful swatched separately, and look amazing swirled and used together, so it can be worn in a variety of ways to create different looks. I would consider this a warm shimmer brick, but i like warm tones so i am happy.
The colours are pigmented and quite fine, with long-lasting power. I do find this shimmer brick very shimmery, and sometimes it can just look a bit like glitter on my face depending on how i use it. When i swirl the colours together, i use it over my cheeks for a glow, which is a look that just brightens my whole face. I only use the white as a highlighter for my cheeks, and only when i want a shimmery look. Plus another bonus is that these colours can create gorgeous eye looks, so the perfect makeup item to take when travelling.
Honestly, i really like this product, and i do think it is worth the hype. I have only had it for around 6 months, but use it regularly, and i havent even made a dent. It creates a beautiful glow to my face, and that's a glow i would pay this amount of money for so... if you are sitting on the fence about this product, go and get 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.
Tips: You can use this highlighter on the inner corners of your eye, above the cupids bow, in the middles of your lipstick, under your eyebrow arch, I also liked to put this on the out side points of my eyebrows, and across my collar bones, this shimmer brick has so many uses, so versatile and easy to carry
