Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Dupe!


One of the best loved products at the moment seems to be the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick & I must admit, I am a sucker for anything shimmery or anything that doubles up as another product - so this was right up my street!


Although, not many of us can justify spending £32.00 on a specific product, no matter how amazing it is....so along my shopping travels, I have come across a few dupes for you all that you may not be aware of, but you'll probably laugh at my winner.

  • In third place is the Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick - £4.99 - This certainly does give you an instant glow, although it's not very glitzy. But the downfall, there only seems to be two shades.
  • In second place is the Revlon Highlighing Pallette - £8.99 - As you can see, this product doesn't have many shades either. It also doesn't seem to be as shimmery, as it doesn't really have the glitter element to it. But it's nice for a healthy looking highlight.
  • In first place is George Shimmer Me - £4.50 - This has become one of my staple products & I can not rave enough about how amazing it is & for such a small price too! Although I do tend to use this more as individual eyeshadows as it's quite pigmented & perfect for shimmery/smokey eyes. I have this in the shade Cloud Nine & it's absolutely perfect for make-up beginners - Not only is this easy to apply, blend & work with. The top colour is amazing for highlighting under the brow & the bottom colour is perfect for brushing through the creases & blending into the corner of the eyes for a smokey effect. I've used this on many nights out putting an eyeshadow primer or vaseline underneath it to keep it on all night & it really does last. To say that nightclubs are hot & I've been dancing the night away...I wake up the next morning (bad me, I know!) & it's STILL on! This also comes in a few more other shades, admittedly not many more.... but they're the most similar to Bobbi Brown! 


I know what you're all thinking "George make-up, really?! This won't be any good" because I did too, but I can not praise this enough. I don't know where I'd be without it & although this doesn't come with a mirror...I'd much prefer to pay £4.50 over £32.00 anyday (Sorry Bobbi!)

Have any of you ever used these products or found anymore similar dupes?

  1. £32.00 is a lot, I think I'd rather pay £4.50 too.
