WOC don't sleep on that new BB Shimmerbrick

OK WOC don't think that that Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond Shimmerbrick isn't for you. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!! I wasn't sure it would work for me but I was soooooo wrong! It's absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth the price. The packaging is too too awesome! This is my first one and I'm in love! I ordered it on Cyber Monday during the F7F sale for %20 off. I'm going to get all the others now. This thing blows away my MSFs... I only have 4 but they pale in comparison IMO to this. I would love to have more MSFs. I have Petticoat, Gold Deposit, So Ceylon, the Duo. The Copper Diamond doesn't have that glittery things going on that the MSFs do. It's more like a glow and sheen that you can wear with a light hand or heavy.

Re: WOC don't sleep on that new BB Shimmerbrick

Thanks for the heads up. I have BB's in Bronze and Apricot which I barely use. I'm looking for a highlight that's more sheeny than glittery like the MSF's are.

I'm gonna play with my BB's some more before making a decision on the copper diamond one. It sounds like what I've been looking for though.

It stands for Cosmetics Company Outlet store. They carry lots of cosmetics from different lines and have discounted prices. They're usually overstocks or discontinued items. See here.

The Cosmetics Company Outlet Store

They carry overstock and discontinued Estee Lauder owned and co-owned brands..... (I used to work part-time at the one in Ohio) Need to work at the one here since I spend a fortune there every week.

Here is a full List of Estee Lauder Brands in the following link

Re: WOC don't sleep on that new BB Shimmerbrick

I am so going to have to try this out. I never really try any Bobbi Brown stuff as it always looks so plain.

I am really going to have to test it out knowing that it has worked out well for other ladies of colour.

I have Brownie but have never thought about Apricot. Are they different enough to justify both or do they have similar effects?

Same questions for Tawny shimmerbrick if you've tried it. I had it once but swapped it off before even trying it. Dumb me. LOL

Yes please try Bobbi Brown. If you find the right colors it gives you the "made up and pretty, without looking like you're made up" look. Hope that makes sense. Thats why i love BB

I love my MAC colors but when I wear MAC i definitly look like I'm wearing makeup. BUt BB is so subtle and natural much like some of NARS colors. i am wearing more BB lately because its more suited to my work environment.

Oops correction. I have Bronze shimmerbrick. Not brownie. Sorry. I can't memorize all these colors. LOL

What about comparing bronze with apricot?

Re: WOC don't sleep on that new BB Shimmerbrick

To the original poster-----

I am so glad to hear that the copper shimmerbrick looks good on WOC. I ordered it and am waiting for it to arrive anyday now. I only bought it because of the 20% off and I didnt want to regret it if it sold out.

I can't wait to get it now. I wonder if it gives you a glow thats similar to NARS albatross. I LIVE in that color.
