Collective haul (November 2023)
I have a collective accessories, clothes, and make-up haul to share with you today. All of these items were purchased before Black Friday (I’ll be posting a separate Black Friday haul some other day). Let’s begin with the accessories for once.
This olive green bag is from Silfen, which is a bag brand that I really like. The style is called Ulrikke, and it’s slightly bigger than my other Silfen bags.
I wear head bands all the time, and I felt like I needed this almost holographic glitter one from Becksöndergaard. I’m wearing it here.
This purple rose choker is from a brand called Sui Ava. I thought I would try this trend out.
Another hair accessory that I love is a big hair clip. I picked up these two from DesignB in an Asos sale.
In that Asos sale, I also got a set of Chrismas scrunchies from Pieces and green glitter hoops from Asos Design.
The only two pieces of clothing in this haul are both from H&M. Both of them are also Christmas themed. The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” T-shirt has a picture of Mariah Carey on the back.
I decided to try out the new make-up line from H&M and picked up a blush, a highlighter, and two lipsticks.
The Oh My Blush pressed powder blush is in the shade Fruit Punch, and the At First Light pressed powder highlighter is in the shade Glass Slipper. Both shades look so pretty.
I bought one of the Matte Lippie matte lip colors (Coral Fixation) and one of the Satin Icon satin lip colors (Indie Pop). I wore the matte Coral Fixation shade here (with a gloss on top), and I really liked the colour. I’m excited to try out Indie Pop as well.
The Christmas palettes Oden’s Eye released last year were some of my favourite palettes of the year. They’re absolutely stunning! This year Oden’s Eye relaunched last year’s palettes together with two new ones; the Snow Dream palette and the Hey Reindeer palette. I think these are really pretty too, however, I do prefer the colour stories of last year’s palettes.
I’ve been wanting to try Lunar Beauty eyeshadows for a while, and when I saw their holiday release, I knew that this was the palette I was going to try. The palette is called Siren Sunset, and it has a mix of neutral, blue, green, and purple shades. I think everything about this palette looks beautiful.
I actually decided to also get the three liquid lipsticks that came with the Siren Sunset collection. They’re in the shades Sailor, Pink Pearl, and Abyss. I’m really excited to try these out.
Last, but most certainly not least, I picked up two Cosmic Brushes/Cosmic Beauty eyeshadow palettes. I’d been wanting the Delicious Delights palette ever since it launched, and now I’ve finally got my hands on it. And their newest palette, the Winter Wonderland palette, is right up my street. Both of these palettes are to be honest, and I can’t wait to play with them.
Not my fave
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not my favourite make-up look, but I just wanted to try something out and experiment. I do think the red and gold lip is kind of fun and festive though.

Cute and very Christmassy
Here’s what I wore Monday December 4. I’ve had this Christmas jumper for years now, but I still think it’s cute and very Christmassy, so I continue to wear it every year.

Reduntant?
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore another new Natasha Denona palette I haven’t hauled yet; the Xenon palette. Is the palette a bit reduntant, yes. Is the look I created with it really pretty, also yes.

Lyko haul (November 2023)
I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. I’m posting this haul now, because it includes some products from the Catrice Magic Christmas Story collection. Let’s begin with those.
I picked up the following four products from the Catrice Magic Christmas Story collection; the Cheeklighter in C01 Mother Ginger, the eyeshadow palette in The Nutcracker, nail lacquer in C01 Land of Snow, and the Ultra Satin lipstick in C01 Celebration of Dances.
This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I was quite intrigued by this colour story, which is very colourful, and I still get Christmas vibes from this.
I chose the classic red lipstick, because you know me and my love for red lips.
The other three products I bought were all on sale. I picked up another MAC Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick. I’d been wanting the bright pink shade called Amped for a while, and now the price was really good. I also got two products from 3INA, which is a new brand to me. I purchased the 3INA The Color Lip Glow in 244 and the 3INA The No-Rules cream in 371. I’m really excited to try them both.
Red and holographic
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The new Oden’s Eye Snow Dream palette (which will be a part of an upcoming haul) was the perfect palette to wear with my family Christmas party outfit, because it has a matte red and a glittery holographic shade.

Perfect Christmas suit
Here’s what I wore yesterday Saturday December 2. After being ill for a week, it was really nice to get to dress up for a family Christmas party, and this red checkered suit (which I haven’t hauled yet) was perfect for the occasion.
