Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 24. I thought this colour combo of navy, berry, and pink was fun, and not a combo I wear very often.

First ever Haus Labs haul (March 2024)
Haus Labs finally came to Sephora in Denmark back in March, so I picked up some products from the brand to try out.
For the face, I got the Triclone Skin Tech hydrating concealer in 03 Fair Rosy, the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder highlighter in Peach Quartz, and the Color Fuse powder blushes in Dragon Fruit Daze and Hibiscus Haze.
I’m not sure how I feel about the concealer. First of all, I didn’t pick the best shade; it’s a little light. Second of all, I don’t think the coverage is that great.
The highlighter is quite pretty though, and I picked a shade that I normally wouldn’t pick, but I just thought it would be fun to try something a little different.
The blushes are propably my favourites from the brand that I’ve tried to far. Especially the shade Dragon Fruit Daze, which is such a fun, vibrant pink.
Lastly, I picked up a selection of different lip products. I got the PhD Hybrid lip oil in Hue, the Atomic Shake lip lacquer in Red Coral Shine, and the Le Monster lip crayon in Crimson Matte. I haven’t tried the lip oil yet, but I’ve heard good things about it. The Atomic Shake lip lacquer is a difficult lip product to use. I had to take it off twice, and then watch a Youtube video on how to apply it, before it worked for me, but when you apply it correctly it is very pretty on the lips. And I wore the Le Monster lip crayon to a wedding last month and was very happy with the finish, colour, and wear of the product.
Flower moon
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Flower Moon palette on my eyes, and isn’t it just stunning?! I also love the purple lip.

More acid lime

Neutral sunset
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is not the first eye look I thought I would create with the Lunar Beauty Siren Sunset palette, but I thought the cool toned neutrals went very well with my outfit and a red lip.

Western styled suit
Here’s what I wore Friday April 19. This is the last look of my suit inspired week, so I had to wear a matching suit. I love this red checkered one and decided to style it with some western inspired pieces, and I really like how the look turned out.

Lyko haul – all Essence (March 2024)
I have a Lyko haul to share with you today, and it includes all new at the time Essence products.
Let’s begin with eye products. These are the Essence Meta Glow duo-chrome eye pencils in 01 Chromatic Love, 02 Chromefinity, and 03 Galactic Chrome. I always like trying out duochrome/multichrome products from affordable brands.
I also picked up these three liquid eyeshadows; the Dewy Eye Gloss liquid shadow in 02 Galaxy Gleam and two Luminous Eye Tint liquid eyeshadows in 04 Glazed Candy Cloud and 06 Sparkly Jade.
Let’s move on to some face/cheek products. I got the Banana loose powder, which I don’t know if I like. I think the shade is a little too dark on me. I love the Blush Crush! blushes though, and the Meta Glow highlighter is very nice as well.
Here’s a closer look at the Blush Crush! blushes. I chose the shades 50 Pink Pop and 60 Lovely Lilac, and I’m in love with the Pink Pop shade; it’s such a beautiful glowy, cool pink blush.
The Meta Glow highlighter is a pink-blue duochrome highlighter, and it’s actually very pretty.
Lastly, I purchased some nail polishes. I picked up the Meta Glow transforming top coat, the Glazed Donut transforming top coat, and two of the Glossy Jelly nail polishes in the shades 01 Summer Splash (purple) and 03 Sugar High (red).
Very fun and quite pretty
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think the blue, green, and gold/yellow colour combo on the eyes is very fun and quite pretty.
