I bought two Body Shop 'Shimmer Waves' compacts quite a while ago now, as a stocking filler for each of my girls, they are the the same ones that are still available ours are 'Blush' shades, not the Bronze. I bought them at a time when I'd been hearing a lot of hype about Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick (again) and saw the Body Shop take on it advertised as a cheaper option that gave similar results. Trying not to hint at how they performed too early but neither of my girls liked the product enough to keep it and I've ended up with two. The packaging is simple, ergonomic and sturdy. I've dropped these little plastic cases a few times and they haven't ...  Read the complete review

How could you not be attracted to the Body Shop Shimmer Waves compact! It comes in a small square clear compact which opens easy to reveal gorgrous waves of shummering colour for face and eyes. What is it? Shimmer waves are waves of complimentary colours to be used mainly on your face and cheek bones, but can be used to highlight other areas such as your eyes. Colours It comes in 2 different colours. 01 is Bronze and contains more golden and brown shades similar to a bronzer. 02 is Blush and is more peachy and pink tones. How to use I would use a blisher or big headed make-up brush and sweep across all ...  Read the complete review

I bought this from a Body Shop party - where I partly felt obliged to buy something. The colours looked really nice and summery, and I liked the fact that it was a multi-use product; you can use it on your eyes, to highlight your cheeks or like a bronzer on your shoulders. It contains a few summery colours - bronzes and gold's - and I thought I would be able to use each of them individually for nice eye shadow shading or together as a bronzer. Unfortunately, I couldn't. I find the product really difficult to apply - mainly because its so tough that its difficult to get any on to your eyeshadow brush. You really have to rub the ...  Read the complete review

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

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
