Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As much as I enjoy creating and wearing green and red Christmas make-up looks, it was nice to wear a bit of pink in the middle of December.

Collective Black Friday haul 2023

I’m going to share my 2023 collective Black Friday haul with you today. It consists of one piece of clothing, three pairs of shoes, one hair accessory, and a bunch of beauty items.

The only piece of clothing that I purchased (and kept) is this stunning, purple blazer from the brand Crãs. It’s a Danish brand and they create really beautiful, colourful pieces. I can’t wait to style and wear this blazer!

It’s been a while since I last purchased a pair of Nike Cortez sneakers. They’re one of my favourite styles when it comes to sneakers, and I really liked this more neutral version with brown details.

I love Monki shoes, and I’ve had my eye on these orange boots for a while, so I had to get them in a Black Friday sale.

My Crocs obsession might be getting a bit out of hand, but I just had to have these Siren Chain Crocs in the dark cherry colour. I wore them here, and I think they’re so fun!

You know I love a head band, and this multi-coloured pearl one from Pieces really spoke to me.

The only skincare product I purchased was the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72-Hour Lipid-Replenishing Hydrating face cream, which I got 50% off.

I picked up these three make-up products in the Zalando Black Friday sale.

This is the NYX Ultimate Flamingo Frost shadow palette, and I think it’s a fun take on a Christmas palette. The quality of the shadows was quite nice as well.

This is the Kiko Milano Glow Fusion Intense powder highlighter in 01 Champagne and the 3INA The Color lip glow in 371. Both products look very pretty.

I bought two more products from this year’s holiday collection from MAC. I got the Fizzy Feels lip balm in Shiver Shimmy and the Sparkler eyeshadow in Jingle Tingle.

I got these free gifts with my MAC order.

Lastly, I made an order from Monolith during their Black Friday sale. Monolith is a great place to purchase indie make-up if you live in Europe. The first palette I picked up was the Bellabeautébar Smokey Glam palette. I’ve heard such great things about this brand, so I’m really excited to try out this palette.

Another brand I’ve been wanting to try is Fantasy Cosmetica, so I picked up their Warlock palette. I just love this unique colour story.

Lastly, I purchased the Unearthly Cosmetics Devour Halloween collection, which I’ve been wanting ever since it launched. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a blush-highlighter duo, two lipglosses, three satin liquid lipsticks, and a lip oil.

This is the stunning colour story of the Devour palette. This is the perfect autumn/winter colour story. I even think that I could create a Christmas look with this palette.

How fun and pretty are the shades in the Devour blush-highlighter duo!

These are the two lipglosses and the lip oil. The shades are (from left to right) Havoc, Predator, and Ruin. So pretty!

And these are the three satin liquid lipsticks. The shades are (from left to right) Destroy, Yummy, and Chomp. I can’t wait to wear these.

More muted green

Sephora Black Friday haul 2023

I have my Sephora Black Friday haul to share with you today. It mainly consists of palettes and foundations. Let’s begin with palettes.

I didn’t want to buy the Natasha Denona Xenon palette full price, so I waited for the Sephora Black Friday sale to pick it up. It’s not going to become my favourite or most used palette from Natasha Denona, but I did really enjoy this look that I created with it.

I picked up three products from the Pat McGrath Labs 2023 holiday collection; the Mthrshp Bijoux Brilliance: Starstruck Splendour blush and eye shadow palette, the Bijoux Brilliance eye shadow palette: Lunar Nightshade, and the Divine Blush + Bronze + Glow Trio: Fleurever Nude.

This is what the Mthrshp Bijoux Brilliance: Starstruck Splendour blush and eye shadow palette looks like. I’ve used four of the eyeshadows and one of the blush shades so far, and I really liked them.

This is what the Bijoux Brilliance eye shadow palette: Lunar Nightshade looks like. I really like this colour story with the purples and blues.

And this is what the Divine Blush + Bronze + Glow Trio: Fleurever Nude looks like. I haven’t tried the bronzer formula before neither have I tried this particular highlighter formula before, so I’m excited to wear all three shades together.

I also got a mini of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blush in Hope. So cute!

It’s not often that I buy three foundations at once, but in this sale I did. I purchased a lighter shade (1N00) of the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Undetectable stay-true foundation, because the shade I already had was too dark on me. I’m really excited to try the R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener foundation. I picked up the shade Fair 2n. And the last foundation I purchased was the Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer in 14W. I love a skin tint, and I’ve been wanting to try this one for quite a while.

The very last product I bought in the Sephora Black Friday sale was the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Peppermint. I love sleeping masks and peppermint is one of my favourite scents, so I really excited to try this one out.
