I am so ready for Spring. I much prefer a constant stream of warm temps as opposed to this 70 one day and tornados/ice storms the next day. (Welcome to Oklahoma weather, ya'll!)
On the upper left is Bobbi Brown's Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick. The one on the upper right is Flirt! Shimmer Rocks Peach Glow All-Over Illuminator and the one on the bottom left is Bobbi Brown's Apricot Shimmer Brick. They are all very similiar, save for one thing - the price! The Bobbi Brown bricks run $38, while the Flirt! brick runs $16. (I don't know what was going on, but I was lucky enough to get my brick on sale at Kohl's, where Flirt! Cosmetics is carried exclusively, on sale for 50% off - $8!).
So, while we are all cutting back on our spending, I find it hard to justify spending $38 for something I can get a damn close dupe of for almost 1/3rd the price. I understand brand loyalty, and the lure of the Platinum Pink Brick, but I gotta admit I love saving the $$ to treat myself to many little things, if possible. And if I can do that, and avoid a sunburn, then all the better.
Anyway....It's not like I want to lay out in the sun - I am a pale freckled lovely that gets pink when the tv stays on me too long. But that doesn't mean I wanna be all ghostly pale all the time. Enter the "Shimmer Brick":
