Sorry I haven’t been writing any posts recently, according to the doctors I had Swine flu, however I think I just had regular BAD flu. Anyway, I’m still not 100% (I think some of the pics below of me are proof of that!) but atleast I have the energy to be able to string a sentence together, hooray!
What I’m reviewing today are these gorgeous Shimmy Shimmers by MeMeMe, and as many of you will recognise they are almost carbon copies of Bobbi Browns Shimmer Bricks – but for a mere fraction of the price!
Bronze Shimmer
Pink Shimmer
Application
To apply these Shimmy Shimmers is super easy, I just swirled a large, soft brush (like Mac 187) along all five strips of colour and then applied to my cheeks, sometimes I’d go slightly above the cheekbone so the shimmer could catch the light and make your cheekbones ‘pop’ more, but I suppose you could also just use it under the cheekbone as well. You can also use the individual colour as eye shadows and highlighters and so on but I haven’t chosen to use to it this way, I like using it simply as a shimmer product for the cheeks!
Verdict
LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It has a fantastic creamy, soft, meltable consistency, and you get a lot of product with just one swirl of the brush so it’s super easy to use and achieve the desired ‘shimmer’ to your cheeks. Despite only being around the £5 mark, it is just as good as many leading department store brands, if not better!
Because of it’s gorgeous creamy texture, you can really blend this product in leaving no harsh lines. Both shades are completely workable for all skintones, I wear both but probably lean a little more to the Pink Shimmer at the moment as it compliments the rest of my make-up during my little phase of statement lips. The Bronze Shimmer is gorgeous though, and I’ll probably wear it out more during summer. There is one complaint I have with it though; if you have large pores on your cheeks it can high light those a little so make sure they are fully concealed before applying this and you should have no major probs.
Overall an outstanding product, definitely one I will repurchase time and time again and also in any other shades it comes out in! I think a coral would be lush! An added new staple to my make-up kit!
