I cannot recommend Shimmer enough! We decided to plan a wedding in 2 weeks and I reached out to Shimmer last minute to see if they could help with event makeup. They were SO accommodating for us, even meeting us early so we could make it to the ceremony on time! We loved getting to hang out in their adorable shop while we had our makeup done. Kyla was a delight. We all felt so beautiful and we're so happy we were able to support a local business in the process! Thanks so much for everything, you guys are the best!

Thank you Katy for great products and wise guidance - always a joy to visit with you and btw my lips are in love with the coconut everyday hydrating lip treatment - a woman owned business selling products by women owned businesses - yeah, I'm about it. And of course in downtown NB. See you again soon!

Shimmer is amazing! This store sells makeup, skincare and jewelry, all high quality. And the customer service is beyond great - Kate personalizes the products to your skin tone. And the products are non toxic! An absolute gem of a shop, and great addition to downtown New Bedford.

This is definitely the best beauty and skin care store in New Bedford, and all the surrounding area. I love that all the products are non toxic, so I don’t have to worry about anything. A store with great ethics and sustainability entwined within :) I especially LOVE the lip and cheek stain!

Shimmer is one of the reasons I love Downtown New Bedford! The shop itself is stunning and such a great environment. Kate is always super helpful when I’ve come looking for new products. She helped me find a new lip color last year and it was so perfect, I had to get it again!! Shimmer has everything self-care and home-care: you can literally get all you need for skin and hair, as well as candles, laundry soap, and perfumes. The best part is everything is ethically- AND well-made. Shipping and order pickup are super efficient too. Once you visit Shimmer, you won’t go anywhere else for your beauty and skin care products!

I have passed by this new spot quite a few times and was intrigued by the concept of sustainable products and the lovely window front. We stopped in and was welcomed by the owner. There are limited options but a nice representation of oils, masks, moisturizers and other beauty products. The setting is soothing and calming and it's a lovely addition to the NB scene. Shop local.

Shimmer is one of my absolute favorite places to shop small in New Bedford! Thanks to learning about new, cleaner beauty products from Kate, I’ve slowly switched my entire makeup and skincare routine to organic products over the past year. My skin is the clearest it’s ever been, and I love the few simple makeup products I also have from there. Support an amazing small business woman AND your body and the planet by shopping at Shimmer online or in New Bedford :)

If you are anywhere within driving distance to New Bedford, stopping at Shimmer is a MUST! Not only are the beauty products amazing they are all clean and safe to use. The owner, Katie is the highlight of the shop- her passion for clean beauty is shown within seconds of entering Shimmer. She personally researches all of her products and is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the products on her shelves. Prior to shopping at Shimmer I had to hunt for clean beauty products and cleaning products that were not as effective as the products Katie stocks and much more money. Thank you Katie for this amazing addition to downtown New Bedford!

Without Shimmer, I would know about 0 of the brands I now use. I've (finally) swapped 100% of my cosmetics and a lot of my home supplies (detergent, surface cleaner) with natural products. It's making SUCH a difference for my skin. Kate is super knowledgeable about everything in store and is so, so helpful selecting the right products for my skin tone. I am THRILLED that with all the moving my husband and I do, I can always restock online.

I love Shimmer! There are so many options out there in the world for clean beauty products, it can be a little overwhelming if you don't know where to start. Shimmer is great because everything in the store has been personally chosen and curated by the owner, so I already know I will love it. I especially love the One Love Organics line and the Clove+Hollow products. You can test of nearly everything in the store which is a huge help. Not to mention it's a beautiful space!

This is a great little boutique! Kate is passionate about skin care and beauty products, and it's obvious from the carefully curated selection she carries. I love visiting Shimmer even when I don't need any product!

I happen to follow shimmer on Instagram. I live in California and love seeing the posts. When I realized that shimmer ships orders, I had to do it. My packages arrived with a beautiful thank you note. I love supporting small businesses especially owned by women. Now whenever anybody needs a clean beauty care package, I make sure to place my order online from shimmer.

Absolutely adorable little store selling natural, clean cosmetics. The owner was very friendly and informative. I bought a bronzer by Clove Hallow In Cabo shade. The cost was comparable to that of CVS products! Love it. I highly recommend this store to everyone!
