Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I have medium/olive skin and this looks really beautiful! This is my second shimmer brick (my first one is the Rose) and i think i may like this one more. The colour on the site looks a bit deceiving but it's more pinkish in person than what you see on the site. I'd describe it almost a a mix between a blush and a bronzer and looks really really nice on medium/olive complexion! It gives such a nice look when it's used to highlight the cheekbones. Love it!!!!!

I would recommend all of the Bobbi brown line...just be careful choosing the correct shade online. Not quite what it appears to be in person !! Love my Bobbi brown cosmetics!!!

Fantastic!!
-03.28.13
Ok so I have olive skin and I was contemplating between this and the rose. I found that the rose didn't show up as much as this did. I get compliments on this all the time. I especially like to wear it with darker blushes or even bronzer to add just a little bit of color it's amazing!

Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking, radiant
I got the Pink Quartz and I truly love the natural radiant glow this gives on your skin. I just wish it wasn't so expensive thats why I only gave it 4 stars. But overall the product is amazing!

BB Shimmer Brick Review

Quick Take: beautiful!!, easy to use., just enough color.
This shimmer brick is beautiful! It puts just the right amount on your face for a soft glow. Some can have too much shimmer and be very dark, but not this one.

So pretty!
-07.09.12
Quick Take: creamy, luminous sheen
I love the shimmer brick. I usually opt for bronzer to contour my cheeks and then apply this where I would put blush. And then I use the colors for eyeshadow, too. It creates a water-like effect that seriously shimmers so use a light hand and a fluffy brush for careful application. This product has great longevity, too! The mirror is generous and a great addition in the packaging.

of its own kind? yes.... and brilliant!
-05.19.12
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking, soft glow
Obviously, there's nothing else like this, and I love it! I was flip-flopping from the bronze to nectar, when I decided pink quartz would be the perfect cross, and I was right, because I love it, so much. It gives the most pretty sheen to the cheeks, that is natural-looking, and perfect for days when you don't feel like bronzer and blush, so you can just sweep this on. Or, you can layer over bronzer and blush. It is very versatile, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
LOVE this blush-eyeshadow.. it's so versatile. It's a very soft color and I have to layer a couple of times actually. There isn't too much shimmer - just enough so I "glow". LOVE this product and as long as they are making it, I will keep buying.

Quick Take: weird, really glittery
I've never understood the Shimmer Brick phenomenon. I've tried every shade over the years, and every one just makes me look shrink-wrapped. I don't understand why anyone would want their face to look this shiny. This is a very odd product.

Not exactly pink but still pretty
-01.29.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, beautiful, rough to touch, bronze
The picture and description of this is not really that accurate. On me, the color is definately bronze. Its not a bad bronze, in fact its very pretty, but it is not a "soft, warm, pink glow" like i was hoping for. Granted, i'm as pale as pale can get, so maybe on people with a warmer skin tone the pink shows up, but on me its all bronze.
Also, the brick really feels like a brick!!! Its not soft at all! i have to press really hard to get color on my finger, or on a makeup brush. I think my "sheer coverage" they meant difficult to get out of the pan. Once on my finger or brush though, it applies wonderfully to my face and looks absolutely beautiful.
The shimmer is not overwhelming, in fact it just makes my face look dewey, which is exactly what i want. all the shades come off as gold-ish on my fingers/ face except for the highlite shade, which is a beautiful light pink that works really well as a highlite for my super pale skin.
I gave it three stars because its so tough in the pan and because it isn't like its description. That said, its my new favorite beauty product! The bronze is wonderful on my skin and i can deal with forcing the colors onto my brush/finger. My bf even noticed when i started using this. He said he didn't know why, but i just looked really pretty!! So that sealed it for me!

My favorite for eyeshadow!
-01.13.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I've been using Pink Quartz as my eyeshadow for ages - back when it was a limited edition color. Layered over Urban Decay's primer Sin - this is perfect to brighten my often very tired eyes and pull together a polished look. The brick lasts a LONG time, and is worth every penny!

Quick Take: soft shimmer
This does not add much color, but it gives a nice diffusing glow effect. I sweep it all over my face after I have applied all other make up. It is bit much for daytime use, but perfect for evenings out.

-12.10.11
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This product is much sheerer than I was expecting and also not as shimmery as I was expecting. Both of these attributes are good things. I use this all over my face, cheeks, chin, forehead, and middle of my nose. I find it imparts a nice, soft look that makes my skin look great. It seems to soften and blur any skin issues (like fine lines) and makes my skin look great. I have not yet been able to apply it so I can see any color on my skin, but if you apply too much, you will be able to see the powder sitting on your skin.
