Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 26. I guess March was the month of matching sets for me.

Beauty Bay haul – sale or 20% off (January 2025)
I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. I made two orders back in January and everything was 20% off or otherwise discounted.
I’d been wanting to try a Viseart eyeshadow palette for so long, so I finally decided to pick one up. I chose the Violette ÉNTENDU palette, because I love purples. It’s not a bad palette, the shimmers are just underwhelming to me. If you’re not into intense, indie shimmers, you might like the Viseart shimmers. I’m wearing this palette on my eyes here.
I used to buy every Jeffree Star Cosmetics palette and collection in general, but I’m not as interested in the brand anymore. I still like some of the products including the eyeshadows, so I did end up getting the Gold Blooded artistry palette. I did a look with it here, and I think the look turned out very pretty.
By BEAUTY BAY released two palettes for the holidays in the end of last year. I picked up the Celestial Charms 20 colour palette back then, but earlier this year I decided to get the Mini Charms 9 colour palette as well. It’s an all shimmer palette, and it’s actually very nice.
And speaking of By BEAUTY BAY, I also had to have their Daydreamer 20 colour palette, which was this year’s Valentine’s Day release from the brand.
I finally decided to try out the Nimya Glowification highlighters as well. In my first order I got the shade Pink Outside The Box.
And in my second order, I picked up another shade of the Nimya Glowification highlighters, and it’s called Beam, Bam, Boom!. From Nimya I also bought the Discophere Glitter Lip Topper in Pink In Bio, and then I got the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream bronzer in Sunkissed and the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream blush in Pumpkin. Lastly, I purchased two more shades of the Glisten Cosmetics Spectra Lash mascaras; I got Orange Red and Yellow.
Sparkly fairy tale
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Fairy Tale Europe intense color & chrome palette when it launched, and it was perfect for creating this black, pink, and purple sparkly eye look to go with my sparkly outfit.

Leon
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been wanting to create a look around the Oden’s Eye multichrome eyeshadow in M012 Leon (the red shimmer) for ages, and this outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. And I had to pair it with the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipstick in Bloodstone; a lipstick that would be perfect to wear around Christmas time as well.

Loose late 90’s inspiration
Here’s what I wore Friday March 21. I picked up this red second hand set back in February, and it gives off late 90’s vibes, so that was my loose inspiration for this look.

Menacing metals
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks (which I haven’t hauled yet) are some of the best metallic lipsticks I’ve tried. Just look at this dark purple beauty.

Collective haul – part 2 (January 2025)
This is part 2 of my huge collective haul from January. This part is all about make-up and beauty products. Let’s begin with the products I picked up from Lyko.
I think this Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VI Freedom palette is absolutely stunning, but so expensive, so when I found it on sale for a pretty good price, I took the plunge and got it.
I also got this Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin 4 Ever Flushes Kit, which includes two full size Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shades Dancing Queen and Spiced Latte and two minis in the shade Red Velvet and Jubilee. I really like this blush formula.
And speaking of blushes, I’d been wanting to try both the Rose Inc Blush Divine radiant lip & cheek color and the Catrice Blush Affair cream & powder palette, so I picked up the shades Hibiscus (Rose Inc) and 010 Stunning Strawberry (Catrice).
We’re not done with blushes yet, because I had been waiting for the Makeup By Mario Soft Pop plumping blush veil shade extension, so I could pick up the shades Strawberry Sunset and Papaya Pop. I kind of want the other shades as well. I also got two of the new shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Cherry Glow and Tangerine Glow.
Now let’s move on to the products I got from Magasin (Danish department store). I bought the L’Oréal Lumi Le Liquid Blush in 625 Glowy Gold Pink, the MAC Face Palette x4: Luxe Luck, and the MAC Turquatic fragrance 20 ml. They were all 20% off.
I bought the rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes in S01 Mango Chip and S02 Lychee Chip and the L’Oréal Lumi Le Glow highlighter stick in 630 Glowy Créme Chic from Matas (Danish drugstore). The blushes are very disappointing, but the highlighter stick in pretty.
Lastly, I placed an order from Cosmic Brushes/Beauty and got the The Lovers palette and an eye brush set.
