I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas in a 25% off sale. Matas has a lot of high end brands as well as affordable/drugstore make-up.

I picked up another shade of the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes. It’s called Big Melons 12, and it’s a lovely bright, summery shade. I also got another shade of the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinsticks. It’s in the shade Amber, and I prefer this shade over Soft Amber.

I also purchased another shade of the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blushes. It’s in the shade Pink Glow. And then I wanted to try out the brand BeautyAct and picked up their Iconic face kit in Light/Medium, which includes a face powder, a highlighter, a blush, and a bronzer.

Lastly, I got some lip products. I bought another shade of the Rimmel Kind & Free tinted lip balms, which I really like. This one is in the shade 005 Turbo Red. I also picked up the Essence Juicy Bomb lip oil set, which includes the following five lip oils: 01 Coconut Crush, 02 Strawberry Star, 03 Mandarin Miracle, 04 Mint Magic, and 05 Cherry Cheer.

Here’s what I wore Thursday February 15. If this look doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day, I don’t know what does. It’s definitely very girly and cute, and I like it a lot.

Funny Valentine

Here’s what I wore Wednesday February 14. My boyfriend and I have never celebrated Valentine’s Day (Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal in Denmark), but as I mentioned in this outfit post, I was loosely inspired by Valentine’s Day when I put together outfits and make-up looks the week around Valentine’s Day. I really like this fun mix of colours and prints.

Collective Indie make-up haul (December 2023)

I have a collective Indie make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these products throughout December 2023, and I got them from Monolith and Purish.

I’d been wanting the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Juicy Cheeks face palette for quite a while, and I’m so glad I bought it, because these blush shades are stunning! If you like colourful, pigmented blushes this is the palette for you.

I picked up two palettes from Bellabeautébar. The first one is the Pastel Garden palette, which I got on sale. I really enjoy the Bellabeautébar formula, and this palette has every pastel shade under the sun. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

This is the Bellabeautébar Bejeweled palette, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I created one of my favourite eye looks I’ve done this year so far with this palette. I think it would be fun to use this palette together with the Pastel Garden palette.

I’ve been loving Unearthly Cosmetics lately as well, and the Don’t Be Jelly palette has some beautiful shimmers. The colour story is quite unique, and I haven’t played with this palette yet, because I have to figure out what kind of look to create with it.

The Whats Up Beauty Dragon Eye palette has the most incredible packaging! The colour story is a bit more muted, but pretty nonetheless, and I loved the look I created with this palette.

It’s not very often that I wear the same palette twice within a week, but that’s what I did with the Wicked Widow Beauty Resurrection palette. It’s like a rainbow palette with a twist, and I love it! I wore it on my eyes here and here.

As I have mentioned a couple of times lately, I’ve been really into darker make-up, and the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade Magnetic pressed powder palette is next on the list for creating a dark, smokey look.

I’d been wanting to try the Glamlite Dirty Martini palette pretty much ever since it launched, because I love an olive/khaki/lime green colour story. This palette is super pretty, and I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

Another colour story I love is a pink and green one, and the Glamlite x Strawberry Shortcake “Berrylicious” palette is another palette that has been on my wishlist for a while. I also picked up the Glamlite x Strawberry Shortcake Berry Sweet lip kit, which comes with a lipgloss and a lipstick. I’m wearing the palette and the lipstick here.
