Bobbi Brown Mini Shimmer Brick
The Bobbi Brown Mini Shimmer Bricks have landed at the Takashimaya counter!
They just arrived yesterday and are retailing at a hefty S$99 each. Dang, that's even more than a Dior quint and also a couple bucks more than the Earth Metal palette! I popped over to the counter at Robinsons Centrepoint but they were not on display over there yet.
So what do you get for $99? Sadly, only 3g/0.1oz of product compared to 10.3g/0.4oz for the normal Shimmer Bricks (which cost S$67). So, yes, I'm afraid you're paying 50% more than the normal price for one-third of the normal product. Well, it does come with its own suede-like slip case and extra-heavy chrome packaging which is also, unfortunately, a fingerprint magnet. I was surprised that the shelf life is printed as only 6 months, but I'm sure it will stay good for much longer than that as my Shimmer Bricks that were purchased more than 2 years ago are still fine.
What convinced me to splurge on this was the gorgeous array of shades in the Plum Shimmer Brick, which will work very well as a glowy blush. And I figured, even with the much reduced size, I have never finished another blush in my life, with the exception of MAC Angel. Plus it's (almost) Christmas :-)
This costs US$45 (about S$62), £42 (S$96) and RM180 (S$73.50) in the US, UK and Malaysia respectively. (Do click to view in full size.)
Like all Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks, these are "handmade individually in Italy".
