Cocopanda haul: nail lacquers and back-ups

I think this will be the last haul from 2021 that I have yet to post; I’m so behind, I know:) It’s a very small sale haul from Cocopanda consisting of nail lacquers and back-ups.

I think it was only last year that I started getting into Essie nail lacquers, and these two shades are so good. The glittery orange one is called #757 Cupid’s Beau, and the bright red one is called #781 Bunches Of Love.

I try not to buy too many back-ups, but I know that I’ll use up my favourite foundations. My number one favourite foundation has to be the L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (which is now called 32H Fresh Wear I think), and I use the shade 015 Porcelain. I also really enjoy the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream in the shade Fair 120N, and the Catrice True Skin Hydrating foundation, which I use in shade 004 Neutral Porcelain, is one of the best full coverage foundations.

Lastly, I got some back up Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponges, because it’s my favourite make-up sponge, and then I got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless concealer brush as a free gift.

Orange, burgundy, and mustard

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had a lot of fun creating an orange, burgundy, and mustard make-up look to go with my Winnie the Pooh sweater vest. Now that I think about it, it’s actually not that often that I wear very warm make-up looks, but I really like this look.

Winnie the Pooh

Here’s what I wore Thursday March 31. How cute is this Winnie the Pooh sweater vest?! Very cute, if you ask me, and I love the colour scheme of this look too.

Versatility

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is another eye look I did with the Natasha Denona Pastel palette which just shows the versatility of the palette.

At least

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not my favourite look, but at least it goes with the outfit.

Good layered

Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 29. Even though the shirt and roll neck top have completely different patterns, the colour schemes are so similar, which means that the two pieces look really good layered.

Beauty Bay sale haul + news from Soda (late December)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. Some of the items were on sale, and some of them were new (at the time) from Soda. Let’s begin with the sale items.

Actually, before we get in to the sale items, I just wanted to include that I received a free Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mini Orgy palette, because the one I bought originally was from a bad batch. To be honest, I’m not sure the quality of this one is much better, but it was a nice thing for Beauty Bay to do.

Okay, now let’s move on to the sale items. I picked up two things from NABLA; the NABLA Liberty Six Customizable Palette Feather Edition and the NABLA Skin Glazing in Lola. I needed a little magnetic palette to store some single Natasha Denona eyeshadows in, and this NABLA one looked like it would be perfect for that. And I really like the NABLA complexion products (I already have a bronzer and a highlighter), so I decided to get one of the blush shades, and Lola is such a pretty shade.

These are the rest of the products that I purchased on sale. I picked up the NYX Bare With Me concealer serum in 02 Light, because I’d heard people on social media rave about it, but to be quite frank, I haven’t used it much yet. I should give it another go though. I’ve also heard good things about the Wet n Wild MegaGlo highlighting powders for years, so I picked up the shade in Blossom Glow, and I love it. It’s so pigmented and so pretty. And the last products in this haul are from the brand Soda. I love their #talkofthetown lipsticks, so I bought another shade. This is a pinky nude called 007 Nude Queen. The Soda #browpurrfection Ultra Thin Brow Liner in Kim was not on sale; it was new at the time. I haven’t tried it out yet, but I like their Flat Brow Liner, so hopefully I’ll like this one as well.

The last three products are from the Soda #exploretheocean The Little Mermaid collection. I picked up one of the eyeshadow palettes, the face palette, and the lip gloss.

The eyeshadow palette, I decided to pick up, is called Under The Sea, and it’s the most colourful of the three from the collection.

The face palette is called We Share The Earth, and it’s very pretty.

And the lip gloss is called Precious Voice and is a pretty standard pinky nude shimmery gloss, but it’s pretty nonetheless, and I love the packaging on this whole collection.

Count on lilac

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know that I can always count on my Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette for a pretty lilac eye look.

Face make-up: bronzer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty bronzer in Tan Lines, blusher – Made By Mitchell Blursh blusher in Melon Sorbet, highlighter – MAC Strobe Face Glaze (shade: Let’s Make Waves). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette (shades: Your Majesty + Deviant + Vivid Mood + Take The Crown) + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascaras – Essence Volume Booster lash primer + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara, eyeliner – Revolution x Bratz Yasmin eye pencil. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown.
