Bubbi Face Brushes 2013






Bubbi Brushes 2013




I cant explain how excited and happy I am with this brushes. Their quality is amazing and they are a little more affordable than Sigma brushes. They were $93.00 including shipping and handling which I think it was a good price since they some from Hong Kong. They took 2 weeks to arrive. The handle is light and it looks durable. The pink part of the brush looks like its aluminum and it also is light and sturdy. The bristles vary from brush to brush, they come in from natural to synthetic. Most of the face brushes are dense so it makes your make up look flawless on you.

February Favorites!

Hello everyone!
Welcome back to my blog :)

Today I wanted to share my favorites for this month with you. I didn't have that maybe products to show but I think they are great products.


1. Urban Decay Basics
I have been using the Urban Decay Basic Palette non stop for like 2 months I use it everyday weather is for highlighting, filling in my brows, doing a quick eye look its great. I love the variety of colors because that is pretty much all i need. I also like the packaging because its compact and you can basically take it everywhere and it has a decent size mirror.




2. ELF Eyebrow Kit
I just bought this like a month ago and i have really been using this lil palette i mostly use the wax side because i find it quicker to fill in my bros and it kinds sets them too. The price its great it was only $3 and i think this is a must have.




3.Maybeline Color Tattoo Barely Branded
I cant get enough of this cream eyeshadow it is the perfect base for any eye make up. For those days that Im in a hurry I like to apply that all over my lid. This is a pearly light nude color with shimmer. This product will also be great for highlighting.

4. Urban Decay Naked Skin BB Cream
I love this products so much i think this helps me a lot get rid of redness and uneven skin tone. I use this as a primer but it does more than primes. 



5. Josie Maran Lip Stain in Flamenco
I Loooooooove this product all this moth i love hoe it is long lasting and it gives you the perfect red stain lips.



6. Josie Maran Argon Oil
This has become my holy grail for my skincare routine. I have really dry skin and this is the perfect moisturizer for me. I love how it leaves my skin hydrated and smooth aswell.

So I have been wanting a lot of stuff from Sephora but it is expensive. But if i did have the money to buy stuff from there I would buy.....

BEAUTY BLENDER 
I absolutely love the Beauty Blenders I have one and I would want more just so I can rotate them out. You know how lazy we get when we have to wash brushes. 

NARS BLUSH ALBATROSS
I have been eyeing this highlighter for months. I really need a good highlither besides the Benefits High Beam. 

PHILOSOPHY PURITY CLEANSER
I love this product it really helps remove all your make up and it makes my skin soft and feel fresh. It is a better deal if you get the biggest size.

CLARISONIC MIA
I just put this in my wishlist last night when i decided to watch random You Tube videos. I just want a better skincare tool to remove my make up and help clear my skin and maybe even out my complexion.

URBAN DECAY SETTING SPRAY
I have dry skin so sometimes when I put a full face of make up it tends to look cakey and putting a setting spray helps. I have one but its not that great and i have tested this out and it makes my skin less dry.

BENEFIT'S LEGALLY BLONDE KIT
Truth is i only want this for the full size Highbeam and Hoola Bronzer. The value is great and it has been on my wishlist for about a year or so.


FRESH SUGAR LIP BALM
Aww this lip balm is so amazing especially since my lips are chapped all year long. My mini ones that i got for my birthday at Sephora are gone i need one. This lip balm is better than the EOS ones.

*we can only wish for so much but maybe i end up getting the most important things and for me its the Clarisonic and my cleanser the rest can wait. :)

XOXO, Leni

Urban Decay Basic Palete

I know that maybe you all guys have seen a million reviews on you tube about the Urban Decay Basic Palette but I would like to share my opinion too. So I order this baby like 3 weeks ago from Sephora.com for $27.00 and I have been playing with it for some weeks already and all I can say is that I am really enjoying this little Palette. I have always been scare of taking my Naked 2 with me where ever I go because I feel like its going to break or something. So I find this Basic Palette to be very travel safe. So this Palette has only 6 eyeshadows 5 which are matte and 1 satin finish one. I believe they are all new colors with the exception of Foxy which was on the Naked 2 Palette and by the way it is my favorite highlight color. I am a very big fan of matte eyeshadows because i think they look the most settle. I love nude and neutrals colors and if you do too then you might just love this palette. I have seen other reviews on you tube about the palette and some say that the eyeshadows are chalky and have a lot of fall out. Well let me tell you that UD shadows have always had fall out. & i must say that the lighter colors look chalky but once you blend them out they are amazing. I love how UD shadows are easy to blend out. You can create a couple of looks with this palette and I have been enjoying just creating one look using all the shadows haha. I like the feeling about the packaging and how compact it is and how it has a big mirror :)




Some of the colors look very light in the pan but once you out them on they are darker than they appear. The first 3 colors may look identical but they are different. What I also love about this shadows that you can use them to fill in your eyebrows too.

Left to Right: Venus, Foxy, W.O.S, Naked 2, and Crave.



Venus: Satin Shimmery Finish, off white silver undertone, highlight color.
Foxy: Matte, Yellow undertone, lid color.
W.O.S: Matte, Pink undertone, lid color.
Naked 2: Matte, ashy light brown, Blonde eyebrows crease color.
Faint: Matte, medium brown, brunette brows, crease outer conner color.
Crave: Matte, black with deep brown undertone, eyeliner and outer corner.




Here are some swatches. The top dots are finger swatches and I made brush swatches at the bottom they are very pigmented are build able, they are great for everyday use. If you don't want to waste money on this you can always find dupes because these are very basic colors. 

Dupes: 
Bh Cosmetic Neutral Palette
Venus: Bootycall Naked 2 Palette, Call my Buff Benefit Worlds Famous Neutrals, Milani Pearl.
Foxy: Brulle Wet and Wild & MAC. 
W.O.S: Drinking a glass of shine Wet & Wild, Tease Naked 2.
Naked 2:MAC Omega.
FaintWedge MAC.
Crave: Panter Wet & Wild.

THEY RECENTLY SAME OUT WITH 5 NEW KITS & 3 OF THEM ARE EYE KITS.
THE OTHER TWO EYE KITS ARE FOR SMOKY EYES AND PINK COLORS. I CHOOSE TO STICK WITH THE NEUTRAL ONE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I WILL USE THAT THE MOST.
