Breaking Bad : Colorbar Shimmer Brick Coral Hint
I have already confessed my love for Colorbar Shimmer brick in Coral Hint which has beautifully pigmented color bars in shades of orange, bronze, copper. The formula is creamy soft and has finely milled shimmers which imparts a glistening sheen on application, it is more than just a blusher or shadow.
But someone here is “Breaking Bad” – Shattered shades on the brick.
Before you start making assumptions, I must tell you that I haven’t dropped this Colorbar Shimmer Brick even once. I am handling it with utmost care and even then the colors broke and came out in chunks.
Few days back I noticed a slight crack at the edge but ignored it thinking I might have digged my nails in there, unknowingly. Then, next day situation became bad and I saw a even bigger chunk of color moving around the palette, I thought this might be it and just used the palette and placed it back into the bag. And now, look at the grave condition of the palette, almost ½ of the bars have loosened up and I am pretty if I travel few more days with this it is going to give in and all the color will starting roaming around in the pan creating a mess.
Final Verdict – Colobar Shimmer Brick is a lovely palette but the formula isn’t travel friendly and within a month of it travelling in my makeup bag it has started showing its real face. 🙁
I am planning to clean up the mess and use a bit of alcohol to settle the color pieces in their respective sections and place it I my dresser. The brick is too delicate to travel with.
Do you own Colorbar Shimmer Brick? Have you experienced the same with it or faced similar situation with any of your makeup product?
awww…thats sad 🙁
try fixing it with rubbing alcohol…I was planning to get this…Now, i will stay away from it…
I will doing that after cleaning up the mess and no more travel for this pretty palette from now on.. You should look for something else now Renji.. 🙁
Oh Poo.. thats bad.. I haven’t used this product.. But my Faces mono eyeshadow came out like this..
hummpph.. so disappointed with the palette now.. Ahh, its so painful to see broken makeup.. 🙁
Oops.. its not really in a good condition. Btw does alcohol work in keeping it altogether ?
Yes shailja.. alcohol will help in binding the loose powder but you have to mix the powder in alcohol, press it and let it dry which will result in loosing the look an feel of it. 🙁
Ohh thats too bad! The shimmer brick is indeed very prettyie…These always remind me of Bobbi Browns shimmer bricks…I hope it fixes well with Alcohol 🙂
Yeah.. I got it bcz of that only but didnt knew they will give up so soon. 😛
fingers crossed.. 🙂
Oh this is heart breaking. Its a gorgeous palette but probably no the best to travel with.
yeahh.. exactly my feelings.. I will be missing this beauty.. 🙁
Thats so sad =/
:'( :'( … why I love my makeup so much.. it hurts seeing it like this.. 🙁
Ooh! thats so sad, it is a gorgeous palette though.

Ojhh. I hav this but yet to carry it around during travel.. :-/
Nids.. dont do that .. you never knew when the formula will give up 😛
Aww Poo…this is so unexpected.. So fix it and let us know how it turns out

I think i saved you at the right time.. The brick is so prettyy but yes the formula will not stand travel and rough handling .. 🙁
Okiee great.. Let me know how you find them and if possible do a drop test for them too 😉 !! 😀
this is sad 🙁 but the shades are pretty 😀
reallyy.. i hate my things being broken for no reason.. 😛
ohhh…so bad!! The colors look superb but then, all are mixing up and eventually, it will be unusable !!
Now , I will stop carrying it along with me.. I will miss this pretty kit so much.. 🙁
Hope it stays as it if I keep it safe at home.. 😛
The brick is damn pretty but that’s really bad that it is not travel friendly. Needs a lot of care.
yeahh.. I have started loving it as my eye brightener.. now I think it needs to be rested in my dresser. 😛
Too bad…even I wud hate seeing my makeup “break” like tht…..but m surprised to hear shimmer brick breaking away….the packaging is a real dud den…
really.. it hurts deep down the heart.. 🙁 .. yes I was shocked to see that too.. 🙁
That’s bad 🙁 I have an eyeshadow like that 🙁 But this brick’s colors are very well pigmented. 🙂
Ohh my 🙁 heart breaking 😐
Aww this is so bad! Never expected this from a good company. I hope you can fix this
