Another Woodbury Haul Featuring Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Peony

Before I fell in love with Bobbi Brown there was a limited edition shimmer brick released called Peony.

Now I've lemmed Peony for a while in particular the lemming got strong when my good friend Iris was staying in New York and had gone to Woodbury and scored Peony for herself. I remember soon after her trip I headed up to the CCO but I think Iris might have purchased all the Peony for herself, you never know she's as obssessed with makeup as I am and it's a logical conclusion. I only ever seen the one compact she got but what's she not telling us right? I bet she has a few of 'em stocked in a makeup cabinet just waiting to be used! Dontcha Iris? Tell us!

Anyway. I had seen some pics of Peony and it was honestly the darkest most vibrant shade I've seen released in a shimmer brick. It was a deep pink rosy color that looked simply divine and the Muse had to have it for her very self.

Sadly, after much begging and pleading on MUA I was unable to get anyone to swap it away (damn people are always so hard to convince on MUA aren't they? Why put it up for swap if you don't want to part with the bloody thing!).

I soon after turned to E-bay but I suddenly grew a consious when it comes to cosmetics and I was counting my pennies and realized hells I don't want to pay that much when I know the CCO had it for heaps and heaps less!

Noooooooooo!

I pushed Peony to the furtherest corner of my mind and I tried hard not to begurdge my friend her lucky purchase (I'd never begrudge her anything as she's a true darling but for the sake of my story I'll add that in for drama purposes only hehe!).

About two weeks or more ago I wandered up to Woodbury and low and behold what I came across:





HA! Say it with me people...SCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I ended up snatching up one of many Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks in Peony for the sweet price of $26.75 USD! w00t!

It's all that I hoped for! It's one of the better Shimmer Bricks I've come across and I'm very eager to try it out with a bronzing powder as I think it'll give my bronzing powder an extra pop and sizzle of both shimmer and a beautiful flush of color!

It's probably one of the few shimmer bricks you can wear on bare skin and still look fabulous. Very pigmented and with just the right amount of shimmer this is a solid gold find for the Muse!

I also picked up a Bobbi Brown blush in Apricot while I was there for $14 USD and it's simply a stunning shade. I have a funny feeling this will be making a guest starring appearance on my next Beauty Addictions list!







Dontcha love scoring an awesome steal?

Count the Muse a happy girl on these purchases!
