Becoming a Super Shimz

How the Super Shimz pro­gram works

• Editors at MyShimmer.com actively approach emerg­ing beauty prod­uct com­pa­nies around the world for sam­ples of new prod­ucts, often before they enter into the retail market
• Only the top-rated prod­ucts are picked and reviewed
• MyShimmer.com dis­trib­ute our Editors’ choices to our Super Shimz to be reviewed for free. Sorry if you are look­ing for a quick buck, but no, we do not pay our reviewers

Who are we look­ing for

Our net­work of Super Shimz is extremely selec­tive and strictly audited. A strong pref­er­ence is given towards YouTube chan­nel own­ers. If your YouTube chan­nel fit the fol­low­ing cri­te­ria, please start by filling out this form to nom­i­nate your channel:

• A clear focus on beauty and/or health
• You have demon­strated your abil­ity to intel­li­gently dis­cuss, review, and rec­om­mend prod­ucts in your past video reviews
• Diversity in your choice of prod­ucts on your video prod­uct reviews — if you have a fun pick of prod­ucts, we prob­a­bly have some good rec­om­men­da­tions for you

If you own a pop­u­lar blog that is heav­ily loaded with swatches and what­not, and meet the above criteria, except not in the form of a video, please fill out the above form too.

Please note that you have to be a Shimz before you can be con­sid­ered for a Super Shimz. You can join The Shimmer Network and become a Shimz as long as you can prove you are a real person.

   I love this gloss too! Not men­tioned in the review is the great tex­ture– super satin-like not sticky and it feels cool when you put it on.

   I cant wait to see the new alice in won­der­land movie 2010 when it comes out. I first heard about it being remade about a year ago and I was so excited and once I saw who the actors and actresses were going to be I was very happy. I think that

10. How to Make French Press Coffee

    Posted February 17, 2010 at 12:50 PM

    No mat­ter what any­one think, a french press is absolutely greater than any other style of cof­fee I’ve ever tasted. If you have any of time, take a look over to the guide we’ve writ­ten at frenchpresshowto.com. Thanks a lot for the post!

    Yup, couldn’t agree more. And I’d like to add that you’ve got a great colour scheme on your site, I suf­fer with colour blind­ness and many web­mas­ters don’t give us a sec­ond thought!

    I can’t think of any­thing funny to say, but I am look­ing at some­thing funny… my son has allowed my daugh­ter to apply makeup to him. I am going to take a black­mail photo now.
    • Emily

      Posted February 26, 2010 at 2:30 PM

      I can only imag­ine. That must be what my mom feels like when my baby brother allow me to do his hair­cut when we were very lit­tle. My mom views my brother’s act an act of hero­ism. Or stu­pid­ity. hehe
      that’s sweet when they aren’t fight­ing how many years apart?
20. Heather P

    Posted February 26, 2010 at 2:36 PM

    He’s 9 and she’s 6. I think he likes the tasty lip gloss. The boys (other one is 11) are great with her. She wor­ships them but tor­ments them SO much. She is quite the lit­tle devil!
21. Jacqueline Griffin

    Posted February 26, 2010 at 5:30 PM

    Hmmmmmm.… This may or may not be a funny story. My daugh­ter loves lip gloss. When we went shop­ping we always bought lip gloss, chap­stick. Well, when we moved a few years back, I found 98 lip glosses in her room. This may not be that funny…LOL..@jacqgrif. Thank You…
    • emily

      Posted February 27, 2010 at 12:28 PM

      it’s more like amaz­ing. Not sure whether it’s more amaz­ing that she col­lected that many or that you sat down and counted it. Anyway, you owe us all a photo proof.
    • Heather P

      Posted March 1, 2010 at 2:20 AM

      That’s funny:) Speaking of lip gloss, my daugh­ter used to eat hers. She got a free one from American Eagle one time when she was 4 and by the time we got home she had slurped it all down! It was one of those squeeze tubes. She has finally stopped doing that, but now repeat­edly applies it and then licks her lips a mil­lion times. Sometimes I can’t really blame her.. the Lip Smackers has some that smell really good!
      • Christina

        Posted March 1, 2010 at 8:17 PM

        OMG. I’m glad she turned out fine! Most lip­glosses con­tain chem­i­cals that are espe­cially dan­ger­ous to small chil­dren.

    Because this give­away if for Harajuku by Gwen Stefani, I have to say:
    Harajuku girls
    I‘m look­ing at you girls
    You‘re so orig­i­nal girls
    You got the look that makes you stand out
    Harajuku girls, I‘m look­ing at you girls
    You mix and match it girls
    You dress so fly and just parade around (ari­gato)
    _______________________________________
    Thanks for the oppor­tu­nity to enter your give­away! Good luck everyone!

    Did you pur­chase this or did the com­pany send this to you? I’m so tempted to get this… it is just miss­ing the angled eye brush which I don’t have.…
24. Christina

    Posted February 28, 2010 at 11:42 AM

    Kim pur­chased it her­self. Perhaps try other kits? Or buy that sep­a­rately
25. Vevster

    Posted February 28, 2010 at 4:48 PM

    Yep, already decided to get the addi­tional brush from Sephora or MAC. Prolly MAC.

    I like those per­fumes. They have a nice, light fra­grance. Not as heavy as some of the other per­fumes around. My sense of smell is doing some­thing weird right now so any­thing with a hint of musk smells a bit like veet when it’s melt­ing leg hair. ^_^

    Hi there! I love any­thing that Gwen Stefani has put a hand in design­ing or cre­at­ing! I think she is just fab­u­lous, on so many lev­els! She’s an amaz­ing singer, designer, cre­ator of the unique and ulta chic and a fan­tas­tic mother! She is an inspi­ra­tion to any­one who has dreams. I love to cre­ate new and unique looks for myself. It is impor­tant to me to have my own sense of style that helps to define who I am. I’d love a few new sig­na­ture fra­grances to kick off the Spring Season and that I can call my own. Thanks so much for the won­der­ful chance to enter.

    I am also workin’ it for ya on twit­ter and tweet­ing, I’m @joannaonthelake
