Bobbi's Bubble

Don't worry, I am still alive! I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently because I've had all my end-of-term assessments at drama school so I've had to focus on those for the last couple of weeks, but I'm back baby! I think they all went pretty well (well enough to get me into second year at least anyway) and I'm now back home in sunny Suffolk for the rest of the summer! I thought I'd start back with a review that I've been meaning to do for about a month now and I think this product is going to be perfect for summer!

Happy birthday Birchbox! It's the company's 5th birthday this month and to celebrate they've created this beautiful keepsake tin inspired by British tea parties - so adorable! In this month's Birchbox I received an Ella Eden eyeshadow, the POREfessional Pearl Primer from Benefit, a Number 4 smoothing balm, a suncream from Polaar and a Lord & Berry strobing pencil, as well as an assortment of 3 teabags from Whittard! Unfortunately, I don't actually like tea so they will be going to one of my friends to enjoy! Read on to find out what I thought about the other products!

I am so excited about writing this review - I have been lusting after this palette for MONTHS and it's finally been released in the UK! This palette is inspired by a Vice lipstick shade of the same name and it features 8 eyeshadows, 2 blushers and 2 highlighters. The whole palette is full of really beautiful mauve/pink shades, which was initially what drew me to it as I really love those tones! It retails for £39.99 which is fairly standard for an Urban Decay palette. I also purchased one of their new Hi-Fi Shine lipglosses in the shade "Backtalk" - these glosses are £15 each, so again fairly standard pricing for lip products from this brand.
