Although I'm not the biggest girly girl when it comes to make-up, every now and then something really catches my eye. It could be a beautiful palette, an embossed blusher, or maybe even a shimmery, sparkly eyeshadow; if it elicits a wow when I take it from its packaging, I know I'm onto a winner.
This
Glo-minerals Shimmer Brick highlighting powder provoked such a response, when I released it from its padded envelope a few days ago. I mean, just look at it...
Glo-minerals Highlighting Powder
I've used products from the brand before (
here and
here), and while it wasn't a company I'd heard a lot about originally, Glo-minerals is certainly firmly on my radar now.
While the pictures I took of the product's multi-coloured swatches don't quite do the shimmer brick justice, let me tell you, it's definitely an item well worth checking out.
I will, however, be honest and say I'm not sure it's worth its £27 price tag; you can probably achieve pretty similar effects from other products for around the £10 mark. But this is a luxe item featuring some lovely ingredients (green tea extract and vitamins A, C and E, to name just a few) and it really does offer a lovely glow to the cheeks.
