Product Review NO. 1- BOBBI BROWN Shimmer Brick

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Shades

My first product review had to be Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick because of my love for the product. 

Bobbi brown's Shimmer Brick is the one and only shimmer brick that actually does what it is meant to do. It gives you a beautiful sun kissed shimmer on the area without making you look too shiny and fake. This iconic product comes in lots of shades to suit every skin tone. 

The versatility of the product is what made me fall in love with it six years back. Each shade can be used as an eye shadow individually and as a blusher and body bronzer collectively. I started with the Bronze shade in 2007 and then bought Nude and Pink Quartz to add to my professional kit.

The most defining feature of this product is the sheer coverage it gives without too much color. The shades are not very pigmented and therefore over-use is never a problem with it. This product works well on all ages because of the same fact that it is more sheen and less color. Unlike other (so called) shimmer bricks that leave he cheek with an uneven shimmer, BB's Shimmer Brick grains are so fine that they get beautifully blended in the skin to give you the perfect sheen all over. 

If you are a makeup rookie the Shimmer Brick is your best investment because you just cannot go wrong with it. 

For the pocket conscious ladies there is good news…The product even if applied twice a day lasts you for the longest time. It will surely make the investment worth it when you get compliments for that wonderful glow! 

The only disadvantage I have experienced with this product is that is it not travel friendly but since the brick is so versatile it saves me the space for eye shadows and body bronzing powders. 

In India, Bobbi Brown opened it's first store in Select Citywalk Mall, Saket. Do get yourself one of these bricks because you will cherish this investment like no other. For the Indian skin tone Bronze, Beige, Nude and Pink Quartz would work best.

Cheers! 

Have a Shiny day Ladies.

Hi people, I am Tanvi KG. A Makeup Artist, Skin and Beauty expert by profession and passion.

Hi there people,

Starting my blog today. I shall be discussing skin, beauty, makeup, etiquette and lifestyle tips on my blog. I would also be giving product reviews here.

My interest in this field stated when i was 15 and my mother forcefully got me registered at Shahnaz Husain's Women's World International (the only beauty school worth attending in India in 1999). I was a tom boy with short hair, baggy shirts and jeans, I hated the very thought of going there. As time progressed, I developed a fascination for makeup and since then there has been no looking back. I first started with a good skin care regime for myself and people around me will vouch for the change they have seen in me over the years.

During college I worked as a makeup artist with Ashley Lobo's Danceworx, Salsa India Dance company and other institutions during their stage performances. By the time i finished college (2003) I was a qualified Beautician, makeup artist and special facial techniques.

I started by first Spalon Myra Mabyn in 2004 in Ghaziabad. It was the first of it's kind beauty salon and wellness centre in the area and gained immense popularity in a very short time. My passion for bridal makeup took a professional turn and I loved nothing more than getting brides ready for their D-Day and the smiles on their faces after they saw themselves in the mirror made my day, this feeling continues till date.

I got trained with Sean Maria Welsh (Ananda Spa fame) in various spa techniques and therapies like hot stone massage and spa facials etc. In 2006, I went for my MBA to Leeds University Business School where I heard the concept of image consultants for the first time. I then realized that image consultancy is exactly what I have been doing since a child. Telling my friends and family what to wear, suggesting them the right accessories with every outfit and doing their makeup is what I loved to do.

I got married in 2008 and worked with many reputed colleges and aviation training institutes and a soft skills and grooming trainer. In 2010, I went to Mumbai to learn Airbrush and HD Makeup at FatMu Academy during my fourth month of pregnancy. My daughter was born in October 2010 after which I took a year long maternity break. In 2012, I did an Advance Hairstyling course from Jawed Habib and launched I.Style Makeovers which provides services like Makeup, Image consultancy, Personal styling and Grooming sessions.

I am a MAC and Kryolan certified professional and have been associated with companies like Haagen Dazs as a makeup artist for their launch in Chandigarh. I travel on locations for makeup and usually do home visits for bridal and other party makeups with my team. Being a perfectionist, I do not leave anything to chance and carry my mobile studio along with every little accessory imaginable. I am a cleanliness freak so one will never find my makeup or brushes unclean and unkept.

In makeup products I am die hard fan of Bobbi Brown, MAC and Kryolan.

This is a brief (yeah right!!) record of my work and life.

Till next time,
