Cult Classic- Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick


Hello lovelies! Every now and then I shop my stash and fall back inlove with old favourites I haven't used in yonks! Well this morning I re-introduced my face to the glorious wonder that is Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. This award winning five bars of luminous colour for cheeks and eyes got us hooked. Many brands followed suite with their own versions but nothing came close to the 'Brick'

There are five shade variations to choose from

Bronze shimmer for a deep bronze glow ( this is my favourite and is the one I'm wearing in the picture below
Pink Quartz - soft, warm pink glow
Nectar - soft coral glow, great in combo with peach tone blushes ( I need to have this!)
Rose Shimmer - soft, rosy glow. Great for pale skinned gals
Beige Shimmer - candlelight glow works well with pink,neutral and peach blush shades

I love how this product is so versatile, the bronze shimmer in particular acts as a bronzer, highlighter and blush all in one! Plus the brush I use with it contours at the same time in one strategic sweep!
I love using this as a sheer wash of colour on the lid as it requires zero blending and really pulls the look together.
This is definitely a must have for summer but I must say its gorgeous for the winter months too because it just brightens up a dull, tired face.



So if you have one, dig it out of your stash and give it a go! You will swoon at the sheer delightfulness of your glowing cheeks!


What have you re-discovered recently that you haven't used in ages?

Rachel K CC Cream & Todays Eye Make-Up


Happy Monday everyone!! So today I thought I would try out my Rachel K CC cream in neutral. I have been giving this a go on weekends.
This is a Mineral Color Control Blemish Balm 10 in 1 CC Cream.
EGF-Epidermal Growth Factor
SPF 35 PA++
Moisturizing / Whitening
Nourishing / Anti-Wrinkle
Collagen-Enriched / Non-Comedogenic
Smudge-Proof / Water-Proof

CC Cream is a much more refined version of the BB Cream combining many more benefits all in one. It enhances your complexion by improving the texture and balancing skin tone.
I find this has alot more coverage and lasting power than a BB Cream.
whilst applying, it magically transforms into a velvety soft finish. Leaving skin matte but fresh at the same time. Mineral make-up is amazing over this!
There are three shades, Fair, Neutral and Sunkissed.
This was inspired by Rachel Kum, who is an aspiring entrepreneur and a beauty pageant titleholder who won the Miss Singapore Universe 2009 title. Now every single brand is coming out with a CC Cream! Amazing how thing catch on, or become popular.

So far I have been enjoying it, I went for a pub lunch yesterday and basked in the lovely sunshine, not an ounce of oil came through! Very impressive as I'm an oily beast.

See how I apply it in my FOTD video below
