`Bubbi Brushes/ Makeup Brushes review plus how to use makeup brushes
(12 days till Christmas )
IM SOOO UNBELIEVABLY STOKED 😭 So while I was at my boyfriends house, a courier man shows up with a parcel and it turns out he got me the complete set of bubbi brushes 🙆 I've been wanting this brush set for so long ☺️ These new set of brushes came out a few years ago and they kept selling out from popularity. Bubzbeauty, a lovely inspiring makeup guru on YouTube designed this line of makeup brushes. I had been watching her videos for years and I trusted that her makeup brushes were of good quality ☺️☺️
This post will be a review on the brushes and also how to use them as it can be quite confusing to some people like me, although I do get confused easily.... ok.
The parcel it arrived in;
The bristles are so fluffy and soft and surprisingly dense, they come in a neat black faux leather roll with no cheap bad plasticy smell which is always good
The makeup brush roll;
The brush box, I squashed it after hugging it ;
Side;
Back of box;
The brush set comes with 12 brushes in which of two of the brushes are double sided. They all come with plastic slips and 5 of the bigger brushes comes with an extra top slip to protect the bristles
The new brushes with all the covers;
The handles are made of wood in black which I really like since i don't really like other types of handles. The barrels are made of mental in a pink finish and the body has each brushes names written on the side of them which is good for beginners

Seperate brush reviews:
Face brushes
Dome brush-
It contains many layers of dense soft bristles and can be used as a multi purpose brush. This brush is perfect for when you're on the go since it can be used in so many different ways.
Uses;
❄️for sculpting and contouring your face as it is slanted
❄️a finishing powder brush
❄️️highlighter
Powder brush-
Look how dense the brush is ☺️;
It's soooooooo fluffy it reminds me of a bunny rabbit, sometimes I like to rub it on my face randomly.
This brush is also quite dense, in fact all the brushes are super dense so they'd be great for picking up loose or pressed powders or mineral foundation
Uses;
❄️putting on blush
❄️dabbing on finishing powder
Dual cover brush-
Yet again it's a super soft on either ends, and what's really good about this brush is that it contains different lengths of bristles so it doesn't create streak marks on my face like my other foundation brush
The top end is for foundations/ bb cream/ cc cream
And the bottom end is for concealer
Uses;
❄️perfect for foundation
❄️great for concealer
❄️good for primer
Sculpting brush-
Fluffy;
This brush is great for contouring or sculpting. It's dense so it really picks up product well. What I love about this brush is that it doesn't leave my face looking cakey or too powdery, the bristles really buffs in powder onto your skin to create a natrual finish. It can also be used to create liquid and cream foundations
Uses;
❄️ Contouring cheek bones
❄️Contouring forehead
❄️Applying foundation
HD flawless brush-
The ultra soft bristles of this brush makes your face look natrual and well blended without that cakey look. This brush is perfect for those who want to even out products on their face and to make a flawless finish. And because it's angled, it can blend in hard to reach areas of the face effortlessly
Uses;
❄️For buffing out products
❄️Creating a flawless look
❄️Contouring
❄️For a last step blending for foundation e.t.c
Buffer Brush-
This is a flat top brush, it is soooo dense and soft. It's really good for people who have oily skin/ or need a setting powder to prevent foundation sliding around on a hot day. This can also be used to buff out uneven foundation/ bb cream.
Uses;
❄️Blotting on finishing powder
❄️Buffing out foundation
❄️Setting powder
❄️Bronzer on face/ body
❄️Mineral foundation
Eyeshadow Brushes
Eye contour brush-
A dense soft slanted eyeshadow brush, if you were looking for creating a defined outline on the crease of your eye for eyeshadow then this brush really helps as it has a slant that can reach the hard to reach places of the eye crease. It can also be used to contour the sides of the nose.
Uses;
❄️Making an even eyeshadow shape/ outline
❄️Puting a defined eyeshadow on the crease of your eyelid
❄️Contouring your nose
Blending brush-
Close up;
This is a nifty little tapered brush for blending rough edges for eyeshadow for a smoky or natural look
Uses;
❄️Buffing out harsh lines of eyeshadow
❄️Creating a smokey eyeshadow look
❄️Creating a natural eyeshadow look
Shader brush-
A solid yet soft brush designed for precise shading and blending out powder and cream eyeshadows
Uses;
❄️blending out eyeshadow
❄️shading out eyeshadows
Dual eyes brush-
A double sided eyeshadow brush designed to make eyeshadow application quick and effortless, another good brush to pack into your makeup bag for when you're on the go. The upper end is for eyeshadow application and blending whilst the bottom end is for concentrated eyeshadow application along the lash line/ eyelid
Uses;
❄️An on the go eyeshadow brush
❄️To apply eyeshadow
❄️To apply precise and concentrated eyeshadow along lash line and lid
❄️Buffing out harsh lines
Smudger brush-
The name speaks for itself ☺️ it is a soft solid little brush designed to smudge out uneven eyeshadow or harsh eyeshadow lines and softening pencil eyeliner
Uses;
❄️Smudges out eyeliner
❄️Smudges out harsh eyeliner
Detail brush-
This brush can be used to put on gel eyeliner since it's so solid and straight. But since I already have two gel eyeliner brushes that came with my other gel eyeliners, I use this brush for lipstick and lip tint application, it's good for lining lips and also to create a gradient effect. I've also used this brush to remove makeup errors on my face such as mascara smudges.
Uses;
❄️Gel eyeliner
❄️Liptint
❄️Lipstick
❄️Lipbalm
❄️Removing makeup errors
Overall review ❤️
I'm in love with these brushes.
If you're a beginner or already have a few other extra brushes, I recommend you to just buy the Essentials 6 set brushes or buy the rest separately as they can be pricey.
I love how it comes with a compact brush roll that doesn't actually take up that much space for 12 (14) brushes if you're travelling.
I also love the design and the quality of the brushes, they seem like they will last me a fairly long time. And lastly. They're so soooooooooo soooooooooooooo soft and dense. This set contains everything you need.
And that concludes my long bubbi brushes review and uses c: don't be scared to comment on any improvements or ask questions x

`Skin79 Super Plus Vital Orange/ Triple functions BB cream
(Yay my first review, how exciting n.n, I apologize in advance if its a poorly done review. I'll get better hopefully).
So recently after finishing my last BB cream ( Skin79 V.I.P gold bb cream) I decided to buy another one ( from eBay) from the Skin79 range of BB creams for about $14 and it being summer over here in New Zealand, I thought I'd buy a BB cream that had a high SPF protection as I tan so easily in summer 😭.
I thought I'd show you guys what the box and bb cream looked like as there are a lot of fake skin 79 bb creams out there and skin79 recently changed their packaging and removed the skin79 authenticity labels that used to be on the old bb creams for some reason 😯.
The front of the box
English description Side :
Ingredients and qr code side.
Bottom of the box showing the barcode, production date and expiry date.
The back of the container
The front of the container
This BB cream claims to have whitening and wrinkle effects as well as 50+ SPF PA+++ sun protection benefits. In the ingredients list, you can find many fruit and natural extracts as well pearl powder, caviar extract, grapefruit and lemon extract.
Testing on my bare arm
As you can see my scar on the right side of my arm is covered by the cream.
 It has a slight grey undertone to it as you can see and slightly too white for my skin without oxidising.
What the bb cream itself looks like
Mixing it into my arm with my finger
Around 4 hours later, as you can see it has nicely oxidised, there seems to be no flakiness or patchiness on my skin and has blended into my skin nicely. The only thing that seems to be slightly bad is that it leaves a white cast. Some people may like this while some May not.
Comparing it on my face.
I put the bb cream on one side and left the other side without. I do not have any other products on my face and I hadn't washed my face before hand for a better comparison.
Side with the bb cream, my blemishes are nicely covered and it has evened out my skintone. My skin looks super bright because this bb cream has a super high SPF index and therefore will reflect a white cast when you take photos. Which may be a good thing for some people.
Without bb cream in different lighting, as you can see I have blemishes on my cheeks and around my nose area. Also uneven skintone.
Overall review of the Skin79 Vital Orange BB cream;
Pros;
❤️Stays on throughout the day without signs of flakiness, wear, patchiness or drying of the skin.
❤️Very high SPF protection of 50+ PA+++ meaning it's great for summer or those who want to protect their skin from tanning, uv rays e.t.c
❤️Ingredients of product seem to be all quality ingredients such as Caviar and pearl extracts.
❤️Has whitening effects
❤️Is great for those who want brighter skin with a matte finish
❤️Good for people who have light/ fair skin, I'd say around NC20
❤️Good coverage
❤️Good for people who have combination skin/ oily
❤️Haven't experienced any breakouts or pimples, doesn't clog pores
❤️Great price for a quality product
Cons;
💔Smells a bit odd, a little like floral scented sunscreen. Some may not like it although the scent is not very strong.
💔 Bad for people who have tanned or slightly tanned skin as it is very light in colour
💔May be hard to blend into the skin for some
💔Takes a while to oxidise
💔Leaves a white cast on skin
💔The 40g bottle may be hard to travel around with when you're on the go as it is bulky and space consuming.
💔May be confusing to some to find the real skin79 bb creams as there are many fake ones that look similar.
Personal Overall ratings;
Packaging; 7/10
Smell; 7/10
Consistency/ coverage; 7.5/10
SPF protection; 8.5/10
Price/ availability; 8/10
Other benefits; 8/10
Overall rating of this BB cream; 9/10

But since I already have two gel eyeliner brushes that came with my other gel eyeliners, I use this brush for lipstick and lip tint application, it's good for lining lips and also to create a gradient effect. I've also used this brush to remove makeup errors on my face such as mascara smudges.
Uses;
❄️Gel eyeliner
❄️Liptint
❄️Lipstick
❄️Lipbalm
❄️Removing makeup errors
Overall review ❤️
I'm in love with these brushes.
If you're a beginner or already have a few other extra brushes, I recommend you to just buy the Essentials 6 set brushes or buy the rest separately as they can be pricey.
I love how it comes with a compact brush roll that doesn't actually take up that much space for 12 (14) brushes if you're travelling.
I also love the design and the quality of the brushes, they seem like they will last me a fairly long time. And lastly. They're so soooooooooo soooooooooooooo soft and dense. This set contains everything you need.
And that concludes my long bubbi brushes review and uses c: don't be scared to comment on any improvements or ask questions x

`Skin79 Super Plus Vital Orange/ Triple functions BB cream
(Yay my first review, how exciting n.n, I apologize in advance if its a poorly done review. I'll get better hopefully).
So recently after finishing my last BB cream ( Skin79 V.I.P gold bb cream) I decided to buy another one ( from eBay) from the Skin79 range of BB creams for about $14 and it being summer over here in New Zealand, I thought I'd buy a BB cream that had a high SPF protection as I tan so easily in summer 😭.
I thought I'd show you guys what the box and bb cream looked like as there are a lot of fake skin 79 bb creams out there and skin79 recently changed their packaging and removed the skin79 authenticity labels that used to be on the old bb creams for some reason 😯.

The front of the container
This BB cream claims to have whitening and wrinkle effects as well as 50+ SPF PA+++ sun protection benefits. In the ingredients list, you can find many fruit and natural extracts as well pearl powder, caviar extract, grapefruit and lemon extract.
Testing on my bare arm
As you can see my scar on the right side of my arm is covered by the cream.
It has a slight grey undertone to it as you can see and slightly too white for my skin without oxidising.
What the bb cream itself looks like
Mixing it into my arm with my finger
Around 4 hours later, as you can see it has nicely oxidised, there seems to be no flakiness or patchiness on my skin and has blended into my skin nicely. The only thing that seems to be slightly bad is that it leaves a white cast. Some people may like this while some May not.
Comparing it on my face.
I put the bb cream on one side and left the other side without. I do not have any other products on my face and I hadn't washed my face before hand for a better comparison.
Side with the bb cream, my blemishes are nicely covered and it has evened out my skintone. My skin looks super bright because this bb cream has a super high SPF index and therefore will reflect a white cast when you take photos. Which may be a good thing for some people.
Without bb cream in different lighting, as you can see I have blemishes on my cheeks and around my nose area. Also uneven skintone.
Overall review of the Skin79 Vital Orange BB cream;
Pros;
❤️Stays on throughout the day without signs of flakiness, wear, patchiness or drying of the skin.
❤️Very high SPF protection of 50+ PA+++ meaning it's great for summer or those who want to protect their skin from tanning, uv rays e.t.c
❤️Ingredients of product seem to be all quality ingredients such as Caviar and pearl extracts.
❤️Has whitening effects
❤️Is great for those who want brighter skin with a matte finish
❤️Good for people who have light/ fair skin, I'd say around NC20
❤️Good coverage
❤️Good for people who have combination skin/ oily
❤️Haven't experienced any breakouts or pimples, doesn't clog pores
❤️Great price for a quality product
Cons;
💔Smells a bit odd, a little like floral scented sunscreen. Some may not like it although the scent is not very strong.
💔 Bad for people who have tanned or slightly tanned skin as it is very light in colour
💔May be hard to blend into the skin for some
💔Takes a while to oxidise
💔Leaves a white cast on skin
💔The 40g bottle may be hard to travel around with when you're on the go as it is bulky and space consuming.
💔May be confusing to some to find the real skin79 bb creams as there are many fake ones that look similar.
