Here’s the make-up I wore Saturday July 5. I was planning on taking outfit pictures that day as well, but I suddenly ran out of time before we had to go on holiday.

I have a rather large indie haul to share with you today. I made an order from Nomad Cosmetics when they had a 25% off everything sale, and I also made two orders from Monolith, one of them being from their Easter sale.
I picked up three palettes in the Nomad Cosmetics sale, the first one being the Royal Europe intense color & chrome palette, which includes beautiful jewel tone mattes and five stunning multichromes. I wore the palette on my eyes here.
I also got the Chicago Speakeasy intense color & chrome palette, which has a mix of purples, greens, and neutrals. I created this look with it.
The last Nomad Cosmetics palette, I bought, was the Polar Express intense eyeshadow palette. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a holiday/Christmas themed palette. I’ve actually created two looks with this palette; this one and this one.
In my first Monolith order, I picked up a blush palette, three eyeshadow palettes, and a liquid lipstick. The blush palette is the Bellabeautébar Baked Blush palette, which was actually on sale. To be honest, I’d kind of forgotten that I have this palette, but it’s really pretty, so I need to bust it out again.
I was unsure if I should get the Bellabeautébar Green Goddess palette, but I ended up getting it. I was a bit disappointed in this palette when I created this look, but I need to create more looks with it to form a proper opinion on it.
I was also a bit disappointed in the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Glow palette. It looks like a colour story that I would love, but the pastels were kind of weak. I wore it on my eyes here.
But here’s a palette that did not disappoint at all! I love the look I created with the Unearthly Cosmetics Murky Meadow palette. The quality of these shadows is amazing, and I love these murky shades.
The last product I picked up in the first Monolith order was the Unearthly Cosmetics satin liquid lipstick in Mandy, which is just a shade that I’ve had on my wishlist for a while.
Now let’s move on to the pieces I picked up in the Easter sale. I got two more of the Kaleidos Futurism palettes; Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender and Futurism VII: Sashimi City. These are lovely little palettes that I wore here and here.
From Kaleidos, I also got the quad palette in Glowing Iris, and I love these shades! I created this look with it.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the colour stories from Arttitude Cosmetics, even this Urban Neutrals palette, which is more muted and cool-toned. I created this stunning black and grey smokey eye with it.
Did I need the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Plastic palette? Probably not, but I was a bit curious about this smaller and more neutral format from the brand. However, did I end up skipping the neutrals and went for the pinks the first time I used this palette? Of course.
I also got a few cheek products. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bunny & Playmate Dream Duo. I have another one of these cheek duos, and I really enjoy them.
And lastly, I got another shade of the Simply Posh Cosmetics liquid blushes. This is the shade Rosy Cheeks. I also decided to pick up the Bellabeautébar Skin of a Killer highlighter. So pretty, right?
