UPDATE: The NEW Updated Face Brush Review is HERE, along with the Eye Makeup Brushes Review! Check it out if you would like to know more about how they perform after 3 months!
As you all know, Bubzbeauty is probably my favourite beauty guru that i love to watch on YouTube. She's beautiful and she's such an inspiration to me and probably a lot of other girls out there. Around 2011, Bubbi launched her first set of makeup brushes and they consisted of 9 brushes. They were designed really prettily and i really wanted to purchase them, but the price was just too expensive. I think it was more than $100 for the whole set of brushes not including shipping and there wasn't really any design and packaging so i thought maybe it wasn't really worth it. Fast forwarding back to 2013, she finally announced that she'd be launching her new set of bubbi brushes. I was super excited and was waiting for it since March, when it was supposably meant to be launching, however it took until the 20th of May to officially launch. Bubbi stated that she had reduced the prices of the brushes by around 20% and so this time the brushes were very price friendly. The whole set costed around $90 AUD plus shipping and handling ($96 AUD in total) and if you think about it, that makes it $8 per brush. I originally wanted to purchase single brushes to test them out but then i couldn't wait any longer so i purchased the whole set on top of the two brushes that i bought to test (The sculpting brush and HD flawless). The whole sets of brushes were selling out really quickly and it would only be in stock every 3 days for around half an hour. The brushes start selling at 12pm EDT time which was around 2am in Australia. I wanted them so much that i actually woke up at 2am in the morning (on a school day) to purchase them before they ran out of stock. I was REALLY excited that i managed to grab hold of a set. Here's a picture of what the set looks like:
The payment was accepted,processed and parcel was sent out on the same day, so Tim and Lindy work really hard to make sure the package arrives as soon as possible which i was very happy about. The parcel eventually came in less than a week.
From reviews that i saw online about her previous range, she didn't have any real packaging for her brushes, they only came in a little bag with all the brushes placed inside it. The new range, however, comes in a cute cardboard hollow box with all the details about the brushes imprinted on it and the set of brushes come in a cute black brush roll.
All the brushes were packaged really nicely inside the brush roll. It comes with 6 face brushes and 6 eye brushes (but one of the face brushes and one of the eye brushes are dual so technically there's 14 brushes). Most of the face brushes came with a plastic covering for the handle and a brush guard to protect the bristles (except for the buffer brush) but all the eye brushes only came in plastic covers which are disposable.
