Bobbi's Bubble

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...

Welcome back to the bubble! I've got another Birchbox review here for you and in honour of International Women's Month, Birchbox have created a design that's serving all the boss bitch realness! All the products in this month's box are designed to make a busy life that little bit easier so we can get on with running the world. In this box, I received a Beauty Crop bronzer, an eyebrow gel from Chella, a Generation Clay mask, a Caudalie serum and a Palmer's coconut oil shampoo, as well as a little sample of Charlotte Tilbury's Scent of a Dream. I also randomly received a liquid bronzer/highlighter from a brand called Rouge Bunny Rouge. I'm not sure if this was a mistake because there's nothing about it on the information card, but hey I'm not going to complain about an extra product! The Beauty Crop Bronzer Compact in "Sardinia Sands" RRP £8 I was actually really surprised at how much I love this little bronzer! I've always been...

Well after January being the longest month EVER, February is here and has completely flown by in my opinion! I haven't had a lot of chance to sit down and write this review, hence why it's coming 2 days before the end of the month, but better late than never I guess! This month, Birchbox have teamed up with Not on the High Street to bring us a box filled with the perfect products for a bit of self-love. I absolutely love the floral design this month as well, it's really helping get me in the mood for spring! In this box, I received a LOC liquid eyeshadow, an Anatomicals shower gel, the Coco & Eve hair mask (I've been dying to try this), a Luxie blending brush and a gorgeous lipstick from NABLA Cosmetics! LOC Liquid Shimmer Eyeshadow in "Moonlight" RRP £8 I've had a few products from LOC in previous Birchboxes and I'm always pretty impressed by them and also quite surprised at how affordable they are, especially given the quality. I've...

This was very nearly titled as "January 2018" because I still can't get used to the New Year 😂 anyway, hello and welcome back to my bubble! Today I'll be reviewing the January Birchbox and all the products I got this month! The Birchbox Team are definitely making sure everyone has a great start to the year with this super fun, super colourful box! It's definitely helping shift those January blues! In this box, I received a CLĒ Cosmetics cushion highlighter, a cleansing bar from Dr. Botanicals, a Philip Kingsley shampoo, an Afterspa face scrubber and a clay mask from Sand & Sky! I also got some adorable pom pom hairbands which fit with the theme perfectly!  CLĒ Cosmetics Essence Moonlighter Cushion in "Apricot Tinge" RRP £22 Cushion make-up has been around for quite a while now but it's not something I've ever really tried to be honest, so I was quite intrigued to try a cushion highlight. I am mega impressed with this one - you ge...

The first Splurge Or Save? post of 2019! I fully intend to do a lot more of these posts this year, as I really enjoy doing them and it's actually introduced me to a lot of new make-up that I wouldn't normally have tried. As much as I love high-end make-up, it's always good to look at more affordable brands as well! I've actually been meaning to do this post for a while, I just haven't found the time to do it in between the other posts I write. So both of these products are very tried and tested at this point in time! I first bought Ka-Brow from Benefit around two years ago - I really like the brow range from Benefit, especially their Gimme Brow and Precisely, My Brow. I have to say, I never really fell in love with this particular product as I did the others, so when it came to replacing it I thought I'd try out a new brand. Originally, I was looking at the Anastasia Beverly Hills pomade because it seems to be an absolute holy grail product. However, at the ...

Ok, I lied, I still have one more blog post left in me for 2018! I wasn't originally going to make this a blog, but I figured putting all this into an Instagram caption is a bit long-winded and I've found with topics like this it's quite therapeutic to write my thoughts out on here! Another year has flown by and pretty soon we'll all be seeing the "New Year, New Me" posts as people inevitably set goals for themselves for 2019 and start using that gym membership they've finally signed up for. Which is great. It's good to set yourself targets and a new year is a perfectly good reason for doing so. Usually, I'd be one of those people but this year I've decided I'm not making any resolutions.  That's not to say I haven't got goals or things I'd like to achieve in 2019. This year has been pretty up and down, both in terms of my mental health and with drama school. There are some really great memories in there too, and though I ...

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 ...
