pur x barbie collection (mini haul + review)

Barbie has always been a part of my life. Believe it or not, my very first word was "Barbie." Not mom or dad....Barbie. I guess I have always had good taste! There has always been something about this iconic doll. She could do absolutely anything she set her mind to. Barbie could be a veterinarian, teacher, astronaut, singer, artist. You name it, she could do it. Growing up, I loved everything about her. I loved her positive attitude in the commercials and cartoons. I loved her fabulous sense of style. I loved that she seemed to be able to take on the world! To me, Barbie represented confidence, intelligence, and poise. That's the magical thing about Barbie. She can mean so many different things to so many different people. So, when I was given a few items from the Pur x Barbie collection for my birthday last month, it was beyond exciting. Everything was pink, sparkly, and fabulous. Ready to find out more? Here is a mini haul and review of the items.


Confident Glow Signature Illuminating Highlighter. The first item given to me was this gorgeous highlighter. The outer packaging is pink with lots and lots of glitter. Totally Barbie inspired! Inside, there is a dazzling pattern with a Barbie silhouette. The highlight itself is absolutely stunning. It immediately became one of my all-time favourites. The shade is warm, glittery, and adds a fabulous glow to the skin. This is certainly not intended for someone that likes to add a subtle glow. The Illuminating Highlighter is bold and adds a ton of shimmer and shine. It is something that I have been loving lately. This will definitely come in handy as the holiday season comes closer. 


Endless Possibilities II Signature 15-Piece Eyeshadow Palette. Next up is this Barbie inspired eyeshadow palette. The packaging is also pink and sparkly. Definitely winter inspired! There is a nice mixture of matte and glitter shades here and the colours are well suited to this time of year. This is a really beautiful palette and there are some shades in here that I reach for often. However, I do with the colours were a little more classic Barbie. Pinks, light blues, and something a little more fun would have been nice. While the packaging screams Barbie...the actual shade selection is a little muted. They are definitely colours that fit into my day-to-day life well. It just would've been nice to see some of those classic Barbie shades included as well. All in all, this is a lovely palette for the fall and winter months.


Brush 'n Sparkle Signature 5-Piece Brush Set with Bag. When it comes to makeup tools, there are some that I reach for day in and day out. Others, every now and again. And well, some brushes are for display only. This brush set and holder definitely falls into the latter category. These brushes are absolutely stunning! They have a metallic pink hand, a sparkly bow, gold ferrule, and super soft bristles. There are two eyeshadow brushes, an angled brush, a tapered fluffy brush, and a large powder brush. As for the holder, it has that same pink pattern that the rest of the collection has. It is gorgeous and would be perfect for travel. 

 

These items are beautiful. Plus, anything Barbie themed is fabulous, in my opinion! It was such a treat to be given these Pur x Barbie products for my birthday. They have been a wonderful addition to my beauty room. Not only do they look gorgeous but the products perform well. That highlight in particular is an absolute must-have. 

Have you tried anything from the Pur x Barbie makeup collection?
