Collective haul – beauty (January 2026)

I have a very large collective beauty haul from January to share with you today. I’m going to go through everything based on places/websites I purchased the different products from. Let’s begin with a couple of indie palette purchases.

From Nomad Cosmetics, I picked up the Paris La Bohème intense color & chrome palette and the Paris La Bohème crème rouge face palette. I think the theme of this collection is fun, and I really like the unique colour story of the eyeshadow palette. I think it’s the first time, Nomad Cosmetics have released blushes, so I had to try the blush palette as well, and the shades I’ve tried so far were very pretty on the cheeks. I’m wearing both palettes here.

When Cosmic Beauty launched their Angelic palette, I made an order from their website including that palette and the Death palette, which had been on my wishlist for a while. I haven’t worn the Angelic palette yet, but I created this fun eye look with the Death palette.

The next set of items are from Lyko, and I got a lot of them 20% off including these Essence Juicy Bomb Sweet Drop body mists in 102 Caramel Cloud and 104 Cookie Crazy.

From Essence, I also got the Jelly Grip Extreme hydrating primer and the Feelin’ Comfy blush balm duo in 01 In My Blushin’ Era.

These two Moira blushes weren’t on sale, but I really wanted to try these formulas, so I picked up the Love Steady shimmer blush in 002 So Lucky and the Marvelous baked blush in 008 Cherry Crumble.

Lastly from Lyko, I got four products from Catrice. I got the Soft Embrace hand & nail spa treatment, the Soft Embrace Soft Blur primer & beautifier in C01 Bare Beauty, and the Soft Embrace liquid shimmer blushes in C01 Rosy Glow and C02 Mulberry Glow.

Moving on to three things I got from Magasin. I got a big size of the Clinique All About Eyes 50% off, which is such a good deal. I also bought two of the holiday limited edition Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte lipsticks. I got the glittery matte lipstick in 296 Shimmery Dramaphoria and the matte lipstick in 025 Pink Express.

Here’s a stand alone product that I got with an order from Boozt. You probably know that I love the MAC Colour Excess gel pencil eye liners, so I picked up this pretty yellow shade in Permanent Vacation on sale.

Next up are the things I got from Matas. I purchased three new products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Soft Glam satin concealer in 13 Fair Neutral, the Glitzshow eyeshadow stick in So Gleamy, and the Halo Glow silky powder highlighter in Soft Pearl Era. I also picked up another shade of the Rimmel Turbocharged Glows. This one is in the shade 003 Main Character, and it was 20% off.

NYX also launched some new goodies, so I bought the Wonder Snatch powder in 01 Sugar Serve, which I’m really been enjoying, two of the Buttermelt Stix in 01 Big Melt Energy and 02 Love At First Melt, and two of the Epic Inky Stix cream gel eyeliners in 05 Robotic Red and 10 Violet Volt.

The last order in this collective haul was from Sephora. I wanted to try the new Huda Beauty Easy Bake pressed powder, and I got it in the shade Cherry Blossom Cake. I’m really liking it so far. I also needed a back-up of the Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener, because I’m almost out.

I also purchased two blushes. I was very intrigued by the new Tarte Macaron Blush & Glow duo, and I chose the shade Pink Champagne. The cream blush was stunning on the cheeks, but sadly, I didn’t think the glowy powder layered on top very well. I’m sure it’ll be beautiful on it’s own though. And I’ve had the Sephora Collection Color Twister creme blush in Audacious Viola in my wishlist for so long, and since it was heavily discounted, I thought it was time to give it a try, and it’s a very pretty purple cream blush.

Practical, but put together

Here’s what I wore Saturday February 28. It was raining all day, but I had to leave the house and I wanted to be practical, but still look put together, so this is what I ended up with, and I quite like it.

Collective haul – accessories, shoes & clothes (January 2026)

I have a rather large collective haul from January, so I decided to divide it in to two parts. This first part is going to be the accessories, shoes, and clothes.

I picked up three headbands in a Boozt sale. The first two beaded ones are from Becksöndergaard, which is a favourite brand of mine when it comes to headbands. The third headband is from Marimekko, and it’s bigger than what I usually go for, but I really liked the colour combo and the iconic Marimekko flowers, so I thought I would give it a try.

And speaking of Marimekko, I also got this set of pins from the brand. I love a good pin or brooch.

Moving on to shoes, and I’ve got three pairs to show you. These raspberry pink velvet Bae Crocs had been on my mind, since I first saw them, so when I found them on sale at Asos, it was my cue to get them.

I keep seeing ballerina sneakers everywhere, and even though ballerinas were never my type of shoe, I thought I would give the ballerina sneaker trend a go. I opted for this more affordable option from the brand SEQWL, because I quite liked the unique colour combo.

The rest of the items in this haul are from Desigual, which is a brand that I’ve been intrigued by for quite a while, but their pieces are a little expensive. However, they’ve had an insane sale going on lately with a lot of pieces being 60% off, so I made my first two orders from their website. These fun heels were my second order. They’re designed by Tyler McGillivary, and I love the mismatched flowers and the colour of course. I can’t wait to wear these this summer.

This oversized puffer jacket was designed by María Escoté, and it was the most expensive piece I bought, but I’m glad I did, because it’s so good! It’s like a piece of art, and it’s really warm at the same time.

I also purchased this matching newspaper blazer and trousers set. I obviously can’t fit the trousers right now, but hopefully they will fit a some point.

I had to get one of the many Mickey Mouse pieces from Desigual, and I picked the most colourful piece I could find. I love an oversized T-shirt, and I think this will be fun to style.

The last piece I bought in the Desigual sale, you have already seen me wear. I wore this beautiful Desigual x Christian Lacroix dress at my sister in law’s civil wedding, and luckily it had room for my baby bump.

Another winged liner look

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This was the second winged liner look I wore that week, and I like this look even more than the first one.

(Base: primer – Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer (shade: Fair 1 N), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer (shade: Fair 10 N), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + NYX Wonder Snatch powder in 01 Sugar Serve, freckles – Essence Got A Crush On Apricots freckles pen (shade: 01 Après Apricots). Face make-up: bronzer – Glam Shop Z Fioletem bronzer in Chocolate, blush – Essence Soft Touch bouncy blush in 30 Exotic Daisy, highlighter – Colourpop Super Shock highlighter in Stole the Show. Eye make-up: base – Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer, eyeshadows – Fantasy Cosmetica Wizard palette (shades: Curiosity + Incantation + Meteor Storm), mascara – Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara (shade: 04 Navy), eyeliners – Catrice Jewel Glide Effect eye pencil in 030 Midnight Sapphire + MAC Colour Excess Gel pencil eye liner in Permanent Vacation. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Redd lip pencil + MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Frolic)

More convenient

Here’s what I wore Friday February 27. I’m wearing a lot of casual and comfy outfits these days; it’s just more convenient when you’re pregnant in the third trimester.
