March Obsession: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar

This Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in “Nectar” has been on my radar since Christmas. I’ve been dipping my toes slowly into the world of high-end designer makeup, but I am not going to pretend that I can afford to buy it all the time. I had to really work up the courage to spend $42 on this, but at least I loved it when I got it 🙂

Ha 🙂 So I guess it does its job. I am in love with it. I used it everyday in March and it is by far my favorite item to reach for in my makeup bag!

I have a HUGE beauty haul coming after I get back from Montreal. I got a 20% off entire purchase coupon at Ulta (which for ONCE you can use on things like Naked Palettes and other goodies that usually are exempt from coupons!) and a 15% off entire purchase at Sephora. Needless to say I used both and they are en route!

Is there a beauty item you can’t live without?
