Ultimate Glow- High End Illuminator Dupe

Hello everyone,

I am back here today with another High End vs High Street post. This time I am comparing two different highlight-blusher in one products (shimmer bricks).

Personally, after waking up at 6am the last thing I want to be doing is spending a long time on my makeup. Which is why when I see one product that does two things- I get quite excited, glow and rosy-ness? Yes Please!
I am all about that fresh and glowy kind of look, to be honest I think everyone is at the moment. However often I find myself staring at a hefty price tag thinking should I/shouldn't I, often I end up buying the product, and then finding a very similar product for less than 1/4 of the price in a local drugstore like Superdrug. Although I don't necessarily regret my high end purchases because they will be used and loved, however in future I want to ensure that I get info on all the dupes available because really, who doesn't want to save some money?

Now let me just start of with saying the prices. The Collection "gorgeous glow" can be purchased for under £5. The Bobbi Brown shimmer brick comes to £35. Yes. £30 more for virtually the same product.

Here they are:

Collection Gorgeous Glow

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick 


At first glance they both look pretty similar. A variety of pinky/shimmery shades with gold shimmer. The main difference is that the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick is more bronzey looking whereas the Collection one is mainly pink.

Clearly, the packaging on the Bobbi Brown brick is sturdy, it looks expensive, if feels heavy and expensive, it looks very simple and has a handy mirror.
The Collection glow is much more basic packaging wise, it feels like it could break very easily and it does look cheaper.
But...its the product that counts, right?

Heres a swatch comparison (one even swipe of each one):

Swatch


Can you guess which one is which? They both look shimmery, they are both pigmented and they are both very easy to apply.
The left is the Collection 'brick' and the right is the Bobbi Brown.
Now again, clearly the Bobbi Brown product is more bronze and the Collection one is more of a blush colour. However they are both available in more than one shade so other shades may compare differently.

In my opinion, I don't think the Bobbi Brown one looks any better than the Collection one: in terms of swatch/application and longevity. However in terms of packaging this Bobbi Brown one does feel and look more aesthetic.

Personally, I will be sticker to the Collection Gorgeous Glow in future, simply because of the amazing price!

Let me know which one you love or if you have any better recommendations!

The Big Dangers of Belly Fat

Image
Many people want to whittle their midsections to look better and fit into that next-size-down pair of pants. But reducing belly fat brings many more benefits than just aesthetics — you could be significantly reducing your health risks. Although getting to, and maintaining, a healthy weight is important for a number of reasons, belly fat reduction is particularly crucial. BELLY FAT CULPRITS The major contributor causing your belly to get more abundant than you’d like is what you eat, says Dr. David Ludwig, a professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Sugary food, including highly processed fare, can cause a blood-sugar spike that triggers an insulin release throughout the body. Over time, that creates the need for this energy to get stored if it’s not used — and the body’s favorite storage area is the belly. Fat around your midsection can also get stored due to high levels of cortisol, the hormone responsible for your stress response. Getting too little sle

A Constellation of Quotes for the Innovators

Radical innovation rarely comes from incumbents (Laurent Haug). No candle maker has become a bulb manufacturer, no carriage maker has become a car producer and the post office did not invent the email (Marc Giget). Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the peop
