Bobbi's Bubble

Don't worry folks, I'm definitely still alive, I've just been mega-busy with drama school work (who knew acting could be this hard?) so I haven't really had chance to blog! I'm a little bit behind with this post but as it's still October I feel like that counts for something 😉 You may or may not be aware that October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honour of that, Birchbox have teamed up with the charity CoppaFeel who do some amazing work on educating people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer! In this box I got a ModelCo Contour Stick, a Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash, a Grab Your Melons Shower Gel from Anatomicals, an Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo and a Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strip from Biore! Also included in every box was a shower sticker from CoppaFeel which has instructions on how to check your baps for any irregularities which could be a sign of cancer!

My first blog post in my new flat in Birmingham! It literally took me about half an hour to figure out the best place to take photos for my blog, so I hope you appreciate the effort I went to here 😉 So here is my September Birchbox review! This month, Birchbox has teamed up with lifestyle brand Oliver Bonas with a message to "Work hard, play hard & be kind" which is definitely something I can get behind! I really love Oliver Bonas as a brand, I've bought a couple of things from them in the past and they have some beautiful stuff. We also got the chance to choose the design of our Birchbox, either the Lucinda or Sass Squad print. I obviously went with the Sass Squad print! In this box I received a Polaar IcyMagic Instant Eye Contour Energiser, a Dr. PawPaw Original Clear Balm, a full-sized Manna Kadar Fantasy 3-in-1 Blush/Highlight/Eyeshadow and an Arrow BOOST Color Enhancing Lip Balm and a sample of Beauty Protector's Protect and Detangle spray!

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...

So a few weeks ago I was followed on Instagram by a new clothing website called Get It Grl. They mentioned in their bio they were looking for bloggers to work with so I decided to chance it and sent them a message saying I'd be interested in doing a blog post once their website launched. I wasn't really expecting them to get back to me with a yes as I don't have a huge amount of Instagram followers at the moment due to restarting my account, but they messaged me back and gave me a discount code for people to use! I had to wait until payday to make my order so this blog post is a little bit delayed but I am so happy with the items I bought! 

I think this might possibly be my favourite Birchbox design so far! Anything vaguely mermaid-related and I will be all over it like a rash. This month, everything is mermaid-themed; from texture spray for those beach babe locks, down to the beautiful scale design on the box itself. All the heart-eye emojis! In this box I received a Loc One and Done eyeshadow stick, a sugar texturizing spray from Number 4, a Merci Handy hand sanitizer, some Sebamed mattifying cream, and of course the pinnacle of every mer-babe - a brush from Spectrum Collections! Read on to find out what I thought!

So I'm a little bit late with this month's review - I got the box right in the middle of a show week and then went up to Coventry so I've struggled to find the time to sit down and write about the products I received this month! This month's box is inspired by "Summer Daze" hence the gorgeous sunset and palm tree design - and this month every subscriber got an extra product! In this box I got a Benefit Cosmetics Cha Cha Tint, the Flash Cleanse Micellar Water from Balance Me, the Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Overnight Recovery, an Anatomicals Softening Eucalyptus Foot Cream, a Whish Renewing Mud Mask and a sample of Lipsy London's Glam Perfume!

Well you couldn't expect me to walk past Duty-Free and then spend four days in a country with a Sephora store on every corner and not come back without buying anything... Personally I think I showed great self-restraint given the situation! A couple of these are products that I've been interested in trying for a while now, so I figured I may as well save a bit of money in Duty-Free and the Sephora buys worked out slightly cheaper in Euros as well, so really I've done myself a favour here (at least that's what I'm telling my mum) Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Quickie Contour Stick So this is Benefit's latest product in their Hoola range. I've used their Hoola bronzer before which I love, and since I've fallen out of love with my  Nyx contour  I've been on the lookout for something to replace it. This is a cream that actually turns into a powder consistency when you apply it. What I really like about this is that you can use it flat or use it on its...
