Bobbi's Bubble

I think this is probably my last post of 2018, so it seemed fitting to end the year with one of the best purchases I've made! I am honestly so impressed by this palette - it was originally released over the summer and features 24 beautiful shades and a full-size mirror, and I can tell this will definitely be a staple for whenever I travel as it's such a versatile palette. I actually bought this in October with some birthday money but I just haven't had time to sit down and write a blog post unfortunately. RRP £39.50 The palette is priced at £39.50, which is fairly standard for an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. You get a really beautiful range of shades, from warm mattes to gorgeous jewel tones, which means you can create a real variety of looks with it: Breakaway - a shimmery ivory colour. I love this as a browbone highlight as it's quite subtle! Stranded - a champagne shimmer. Blaze - a shimmery peachy pink shade with a gorgeous gold shift. Weekender - a ...

So this post has been a bit of a long time coming; I think the collection originally launched sometime in early August, but I've only just been able to get my hands on some products! This is a capsule collection that Kiko launched and it's all inspired by the city of Venice, there's quite a few new products and some autumnal twists on products they already sell. The lipsticks, eyeliners and highlighters all come in a variety of different shades and they also have a mineral foundation, brushes, blushes, a bronzer and my personal favourite, magnetic eyeshadow! It's just the pots that are magnetic, so they have a wavey pattern that basically never disappears because the magnet keeps it in place. I'm still a bit gutted I didn't pick one up, but I do already own quite a few metallic eyeshadows, so I might pop back and have another look! The products I did end up purchasing were the eye contour mask, eyeliner in "Future is Gold", lip liner and lipstick, bo...

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

From Left to Right - Nude News, Back To The Fuchsia, Lava You A Lot Seventeen recently released their new range of matte lipsticks and given my current obsession with matte lipstick, I of course hauled ass down to Boots and picked up my three fave shades! The range comes in 12 different shades, from nude tones right up to bright, eye-popping colours, so there's something for everyone. I tried to buy the shades that, for me, would be the most wearable and that were a little bit different to some of the lipsticks I already own. I went for Nude News, a nude shade with pink undertones, Back To The Fuchsia, which as the name suggests, is a bright pink/purple shade and Lava You A Lot, a fiery hot orange/red colour.
