The Drugstore Shimmer Brick

I've had my eye on a Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for a while now but never quite worked up the courage to drop £33 on one! After a recent perusal of the stands in Boots I decided that I'd give Revlon's version a whirl.

I used to actually have one of these bricks back in high school. I can't remember the brand now but it was overly shimmery and the colours kind of muddied together to make a less than flattering terracotta shade. Fast forward a good few years and I'd like to think I'm making better make up choices!

 I'm naturally a big fan of highlighters and anything that promises a rosy glow has my name all over it. It's so lovely to find something where the chunks of glitter aren't huge and the product genuinely provides you with a subtle glow. Having said that- there is obvious shimmer in three out of five shades so if you're not partial to a lil shimmer then this probably isn't for you. 

The colour pay off is also pretty good and gives cheeks a kind of I've just popped out in the snow look and works out a really soft pale pink on the skin. It also works really well as a highlight under your regular blush too for an extra bit of luminosity which is something my skin could definitely do with post Christmas. 

For £8.99 I think this a lovely budget version of the BB shimmer bricks and I've got my eye on the bronzier shade for next time!
