Monolith palette haul (July 2023)

I have an indie palette haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these palette of the Monolith website. As far as I remember I made two separate orders and decided to put them into one haul.

I purchased three Blend Bunny Cosmetics palettes. This is the Surge palette, and I really like the colour story and tones in this palette. The buttom row of neons is so fun. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The Lure palette was the palette I was the most excited to try from Blend Bunny Cosmetics. This mermaid colour story is just so stunning. I wore a purple look with the palette here.

And the last Blend Bunny Cosmetics palette I picked up was the Sugar & Grunge palette. Another beautiful colour story.

I got two palettes from Unearthly Cosmetics, and they were also my first palettes from this brand (I’ve purchased more since). This is the Dead of Night palette and I got it on sale. I love this colour story as well. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I love the Strawberry Milkshake palette from Unearthly Cosmetics, and I also got this one on sale. Red, pink, and green is such a beautiful colour combo. I wore this palette on my birthday last year.

I just couldn’t skip on this colour story either. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bad Witch Club palette. I also got this palette on sale, and I’m not sure if it is available anymore. I just posted a make-up look with this palette yesterday.

The last palette, I got, is the Sugar Drizzle The Mattes Rainbow Purple palette, and this one was also on sale. I think Sugar Drizzle is mainly known for their all shimmer palettes, but since purple is my favourite colour, I thought this palette would be a great companion palette for all the beautiful shimmer shades I have in my collection.

Colourpop haul – 30% off sitewide (July 2023)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I made this order back in July when Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale.

I picked up two eyeshadow palettes. The first one is the Enchanted palette, which is a super pretty purple palette. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

I love red and pink eyeshadow together, so the colour story in the Flirty Talk palette is so beautiful to me. The quality of this palette is great too. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The collection that came with the Flirty Talk palette also included the cute heart-shaped pressed powder blushes. These are the shades Hot 2 Touch and Cupid’s Bow, and they’re both super fun and pretty.

I really enjoy the Lite Stix highlighters from Colourpop, so when the launched (or re-launched) the Bronze Stix, Blush Stix, and the Lite Stix, I purchased the Sun Plz cheek set, which came with the Bronze Stix in Laguna Beach, the Blush Stix in Mini Me, and the Lite Stix in Glazey.

Lastly, I got two more shades of the Lippie pencils. I got an orange called Absolute Zero, and a fuchsia shade in I Heart This.

Purple is back

Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. Purple is my favourite colour and I’ve missed wearing purple eyeshadow. And as much as I love red lipstick, it was fun wearing something different after a month (and a half) of wearing almost only red lipstick.

Dark phase

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been having a lot of fun creating darker eye looks lately. I’ve been loving dark lips as well. Maybe I’m just in a dark make-up phase.
