Cream and jelly

Here’s the make-up I wore Monday September 4. The eye look consists of only cream and jelly eyeshadows, and I’m pretty impressed with how it turned out. The lip is just a bit of fun.

Beauty Bay haul (May 2023)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. These are products I purchased back in May of this year.

I picked up three liquid eyeshadows. I got two more of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Star Shadows. They’re in the shades Pink Tablet and Manifest, and they were both on sale. I also decided to pick up the about-face Fractal Glitter Eye Paint in Smolder to try out the formula.

Here’s a little mix of different products I bought. I got the MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Radiant bronzer in Radiant Light Rosy, and I like this one just as much as the matte version. I also got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer in Summer Fridays, which I also like a lot. From e.l.f. Cosmetics I also picked up the Camo colour corrector in Yellow, and from Revolution Pro I bought the Hydra Bright cream blush in Peach.

Let’s end this haul with lip products. I got five shades of the e.l.f. Cosmetics O Face satin lipsticks, and I really like the packaging, colour selection, and formula. I chose the shades (from left to right): All Night, Me, Myself and I, Loud AF, Effortless, and Pleased.

Lastly, I purchased two more shades of the about-face Cherry Pick lip color butters. They’re called Cherry Good and Watermelon Take.

Rather simple red and pink

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A rather simple red and pink look is actually quite pretty.

Sephora haul (May 2023)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. It includes a good mix of products, so let’s get started.

Before this haul, I think I owned one Pat McGrath Labs palette, but now I own three:) I’d been wanting to try one of her big holiday palettes, and the MTHRSHP MEGA: Celestial Nirvana eyeshadow palette from last holiday season finally became available on Sephora Scandinavia, so I picked it up right away. I love the mix of neutrals and colourful shades, and I did this colourful look with it.

This is another Pat McGrath Labs palette that has been on my wishlist for a while. It’s the Mothership VI Midnight Sun palette, and it was 20% off, but then I got an extra 20% off, so it was definitely a sign for me to pick it up. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The packaging on this Fenty Beauty summer collection is so stunning to me. I think the Fenty Icon lipstick formula is really nice, so I picked up the shade Nosy Rosy together with the Fenty Icon Summatime Edition lipstick case. And I love the Poutsicle hydrating lip stains, so I had to get one of the new shades. I went with Fuchsia Wife. The only product I hadn’t tried before was the Match Stix color adaptive cheek and it’s in the shade Strawberry Pop. It’s really pretty too.

Here’s a mix of different products I also picked up. I love the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch tinted lip oils and picked up another shade (Happy). From Rare Beauty I also (finally) got my hands on the Positive Light under eye brightener in Light. From R.E.M. Beauty I bought the On Your Collar liquid lipstick in Doll Face, because I thought it looked pretty. And lastly, I purchased the Benefit Hoola & WANDERful World face palette in Hoola Secret Oasis, which includes Hoola Light and Willa; two Benefit cheek shades I didn’t own already.

The last two products I bought (I also got a gift with purchase) are these two scents. I’ve said it before, but I love KAYALI perfumes, and the Yum Pistachio Gelato|33 Eau de Parfum really is yummy. I also decided to get the Solinotes Vanille Eau de Parfum, because I love vanilla scents. It was on sale too.

My gift with purchase included these 9 skincare and make-up products. I love trying out new products this way.

Once again happy
