Look familiar? To me this reminds me of school days
disappointment, the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick was the first bit of high-end
make-up I coveted (and not the last, what a slippery slope). I remember seeing
a girl at school using it in the changing room and thinking it was the
prettiest thing, but then I remember the utter disappointment when I found
out that it was £30 (expensive now
but a small fortune when you’re 13 years old)
If only Beauty UK were around in my early teens. They, along
with brands such as Makeup Revolution, are a budget beauty brand with a focus
on ‘dupes’. I love a good ‘dupe’, you feel like you are getting and bargain and
as if somehow you are cheating the system. However I know where to level my
expectations. Although there are some amazing ‘dupes’ out there, on the whole I
have a ‘you get what you pay for’ mindset. I feel like most ‘dupes’ take
inspiration from the product they are duping (saying dupe a lot is sounding
really weird!) and perhaps the formulation and application might be very
different.
Enough about my thoughts about dupes – more on this lovely
blusher. At £4.99 it’s a bloody bargain (buy it here).
I would describe it as a blush and highlighter combination as the colour
pay-off isn’t huge but you do get a beautiful pink-tinted glow to your cheeks.
I’d say it would be perfect for school as the look you get is very subtle and
pretty. If you want to see it being used, click here to see it in action in my
