Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m really into tinted balms and more sheer, glossy/balmy lip products these days. The tinted balm from Rimmel I’m wearing with this look is just so pretty.

I have an affordable make-up haul to share with you today. Most of the products are from either Essence or Catrice, but there’s a few other brands in the mix as well.

Let’s start off with base products. I got the Essence Hello Good Stuff glow serum primer, the Catrice Soft Glam filter fluid glow booster in 010 Fair-Light, the Essence Bright Eyes! under eye stick in 01 Soft Rose, and the Essence Conceal Like A Pro colour correcting palette. I haven’t formed a proper opinion on the brigthening and colour correcting products yet, but I really enjoy the primer and the glow booster. I actually think that the Catrice Soft Glam filter fluid glow booster is a very close dupe to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter.

The last two base products I picked up was the Catrice The Vitamin C Fresh Glow primer and a back up of one of my favourite foundations; the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light). For brows I got the Catrice Brow Fix Soap Stick in 010 Transparent.

I guess the Catrice Soft Glam Filter powder in 010 Beautiful You is also a base product, but it comes in a compact, so I grouped it with the blush and highlighter that I purchased from Catrice as well. The blush is the AirBlush Glow in 050 Berry Haze and the highlighter is the Glowlights highlighter in 010 Rosy Nude. I didn’t love the blush, so I’ve already decluttered that one, but the highlighter is very pretty.

For the cheeks I also got the Essence Love That Glow & Bronze palette.

Moving on to lips. I picked up another NYX Slim lip pencil. This one is in the shade Nutmeg, and it’s a really nice brown. From Catrice I got the Glossin’ Glow tinted lip oil in 020 Drama Mama and the WHO I AM coloured lip balm in C02 Love Myself.

I also bought a lip oil from Essence. This is the Hydra Kiss lip oil in 03 Pink Champagne. Can you tell that I’ve been loving testing out lip oils?

These are the L’Oréal Paris Infaillible Matte Resistance liquid lipsticks in 400 Spill The Tea and 500 Wine Not?. I wore the shade 500 Wine Not? here, and I really liked it.

The only eye products in this haul are the Essence Multichrome Flakes eyeshadow toppers in 01 Galatic Vibes and 02 Cosmic Feelings. These are definitely trying to dupe the Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Flakes, and they’re much more affordable.

Lastly, I got the Essence Bloomin’ Bright make-up sponge in 01 Flawlessly Bright as a free gift with purchase.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love everything about this make-up look; there’s just something special about a green eye look (including a lime green metallic) paired with a red lip.
