The Body Shop Shimmer Waves

A couple of weeks ago I popped in to The Body Shop in Bath, as I needed a new hairbrush. The thing is whenever I go in, I never come out just with what I intended to buy. I had been considering buying either the Shimmer Cube or the Shimmer Waves but had not decided so had a look and still couldn't make up my mind so I was going to leave it but I just couldn't! One of the shop assistants asked me if I needed any help and I explained my predicament. She said they were both really easy to use and were great colours and the looks they could achieve were brilliant and that she had bought both in the end! I was determined not to do that! In the end the ...  Read the complete review

Intro** I bought this bronzer from The Body Shop in Stafford a few months back. I really went in to get some lip balm, but came out with this because I thought it looked really nice and to be honest I was a little tempted by Staff. So, this product is shimmer waves and it is used to make your face look that little bit bronzed and refreshed. The shade of this is obviously bronze and it has 5 different tones which create a great effect on your face. It is quite expensive because it is £15.00 for this alone but I can say it is excellent quality and it has lasted me until now and I still cannot see that it has gone down since I brought it.

I bought this product because i thought it looked similar to the Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks - which are much more expensive than this body shop version. I also like shimmery make up. Well I bought it around 18 months ago, and have used it everyday since. The list of things that you can do with this combination is endless. Mostly I use it for eyeshadow - you can pick one colour, mix them up to create your own colour, or use the different colours for different areas such as the dark brown on the eyelid and the pink on the browbone etc etc. Sometimes I run a blusher brush over the whole surface and use it as a shimmery, bronzing blusher. You can also use just the paler ...  Read the complete review

I found myself having a look around the Body Shop in my local shopping cenre as my other half was having his eyes tested and the shop was just next door... I did not really need anythng but as mentioned in one of my previous reviews I am a big fan of the bodyshop brand. I was drawn to the make-up section and was already the owner of their mascara and lip gloss, the helpfull assistant asked if she could help me and I found myself asking about the Shimmer waves!! Since that day I have not needed any other bronzer!! The Shimmer Waves is a 8.5 gram plastic square which contains 5 different shades, you can buy the 'bronze' or the 'blush' shades. I prefer the bronze ...  Read the complete review

I first noticed this product on the Body Shop website where I was looking for a new blusher. I was attracted to Shimmer Waves over the other blushers available due to the fact that I wanted a blusher that made my skin glow rather than a blusher that just lies flat on the skin. I have very pale skin and so decided upon the Blush colour (which is a collection of pink shades) over the alternative colour (which is a collection of bronze shades as shown in the picture above). To apply Shimmer Waves you require a face and body dusting brush which you sweep over all of the colours on the pallet and apply to your cheekbones. The first time I applied it I noticed that ...  Read the complete review
