Collective haul (September 2023)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It mostly consists of make-up, but there’s also one clothing item and one piece of jewellery in the mix.

I love a good roll neck top and this one from Monki is just so cute and a perfect layering piece.

This “bolo tie” necklace is from Reclaimed Vintage. I got it 20% off from Asos, and I thought it was cute.

Let’s move on to make-up, and let’s begin with this little mix of products. I picked up a lighter shade in the Nars Light Reflecting foundation. It’s in the shade Oslo, and it might actually be a little light on me, so when I wear this foundation I mix it with the other shade I own, Mont Blanc. The other foundation I purchased is the KVD Beauty Good Apple Skin-Perfecting foundation balm in Light 006. I’ve been wanting to try this foundation ever since it launched, and this shade Light 006 is a great match. I really enjoy this foundation. I think I might have had the Catrice True Skin High Cover concealer in my collection before, but decided to try it out again. I got the shade 002 Neutral Ivory, and I think I like it. I mainly picked up the Lottie London Bubble Tea primer for the gimic. And I know I like the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks, so I got another shade. It’s called Rebel Red, and it looks very pretty.

I don’t wear a lot of neutral eyeshadows, but I love the Natasha Denona eyeshadow formulas, so I caved and bought the I Need A Nude palette. For a neutral palette this is very pretty. I’m wearing it here.

Last, but most certainly not least, I obviously had to have the Oden’s Eye x Angelica Helaween collab palettes. I love Oden’s Eye eyeshadows and Angelica Nyqvist is one of my favourite content creators, and she’s all about colourful eyeshadow, so these palettes are right up my street. The first palette is called Little Ghost and the second one is called Trick Or Treat. I’m wearing Little Ghost on it’s own here and both palettes in combination with each other here.

Don’t remember

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t remember ever creating an eye look like this one, but I think the swampy greens paired with the peachy-orange shimmer make up such a pretty look.

Pumpkin and (s)lime

Here’s what I wore Tuesday October 31. I thought that black and white with pops of pumpkin orange and (s)lime green would be a nice colour scheme to wear on Halloween.

Marathon bingo

Here’s what I wore Sunday October 29. I went to a marathon bingo game (I know how it sounds, but it was actually pretty fun) with my mum and my sisters all day. I didn’t win anything, but I had a good time.

Sephora haul (August/September 2023)

I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. I picked up these products in August and September.

I bought two concealers; a back-up of my favourite, the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in the shade 1.3G Marshmellow, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in the shade N2. I already have the Hy-Glam concealer in another shade, but it’s too light, but sadly this shade is too dark, so at the moment I mix the two.

From Natasha Denona I also picked up two of the Macro Tech eye crayons. These are in the shades Fushi and Camu Camu, and they’re super pretty colours.

I finally got to try out Makeup By Mario, when the brand launched at Sephora. I was most interested on trying out the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer and the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums.

I bought the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in Light, and I love it. This is such a beautiful cream bronzer.

I decided to get two shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Rose Glow and Plum Glow. These are very pretty on the lips.

Warm berries

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I like berry shades, but I think these tones are slightly warmer than what I would usually go for. I still like it though.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Maybelline SuperStay 24H skin tint (shade: 03), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + NYX Bare With Me concealer serum (shade: 02 Light), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral.

Sometimes neutrals

Here’s the make-up I wore Friday October 27. I prefer to wear colourful eye make-up, but sometimes I just want to wear neutrals.

Asos haul (August 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. It includes accessories and make-up, and everything was 20% off apart from the foundation.

I love headbands and wear them all the time, so I love adding new ones to my collection. The four beaded ones are from My Accessories and the denim one is from Pieces.

I haven’t bought a new belt in a long time, but I really liked this fun and colourful one from My Accessories.

I picked up these three face products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Halo Glow contour beauty wand in Fair/Light, the Camo color corrector in Green, and the Flawless satin foundation in Swan. The foundation is too light for me, so I’ve already decluttered it, but I think I like the other two products.

I got two products from GloWish by Huda Beauty; the Micro Mini eyeshadow palette in Moss and the Super Jelly lip balm in Blueberry. I also picked up the Rimmel Kind & Free multi-stick in 004 Tangerine Dream, which is a really fun orange colour.
