Cocopanda haul (February 2023)

I have a Cocopanda haul to share with you today. All products are from either Essence or L’Oréal. Let’s begin with the Essence stuff.

First, I picked up the Essence Peachy Blossom blush & highlighter palette. It contains two highlighters and three blushes. The shades are pretty, and I like the long, skinny packaging.

I got two more highlighters from Essence as well. These are the Essence Gimme Glow luminous highlighters in 10 Glowy Champagne and 20 Lovely Rose. These are lovely, not too intense highlighters.

The last products I picked up from Essence are the Luminous Eye Tint liquid shadows in 01 Dazzling Rose, 02 Gleaming Charm, and 03 Shimmering Taupe. I’ve only used the shade 01 Dazzling Rose so far, and I wasn’t that impressed to be honest.

I purchased two lipsticks from L’Oréal. I got the Color Riche Glow Paradise Balm-In-Lipstick in 111 Pink Wonderland and the Color Riche limited edition satin lipstick in 300 A Lipstick Is Not A Yes. I really like the Glow Paradise Balm-In-Lipsticks, but I kind of regret buying the red lipstick since I can’t stand the strong perfumy scent it has.

These last two items were free gifts. I got the L’Oréal Le Khol By Paradise in 101 Midnight Black and an Essence Super beauty sponge.

Lightweight denim skirt

Here’s what I wore Monday May 15. I hadn’t worn a skirt in ages, and I’m not quite sure why. This new denim one was very nice and lightweight and perfect for slightly warmer weather.

R.E.M. Beauty haul

I have my first ever R.E.M. Beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased some of the products from Feelunique and the rest from Sephora.

I picked up three of the Interstellar highlighters. They’re in the shades (from left to right) Miss Mercury, Miss Neptune, and Mama Earth. Miss Mercury is a champagne shade, Miss Neptune is a lavender, and Mama Earth is green. So far I really like this highlighter formula.

These are the lip products and the other cheek product I purchased. I got the Eclipse Cheek & Lip stick in Broadway Baby, the Essential Drip lip oil in Lavender Kiss, the On Your Collar matte lipstick in Wine n Dine, and two of the On Your Collar classic lipsticks in Attention and Cabernet.

Here are some close ups of all the different shades. I really like the packaging which looks kind of space and/or astronaut themed.

Lastly, I picked up two of the Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadows and the Midnight Shadows eyeshadow gloss. The Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadows are in the shades Fembot and Science Fair. I’m especially loving the shade Fembot.

Sharp, winged out blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a blue eye look, and I think this more sharp, winged out version turned out so pretty. I also love the mauvy pink lip.

Comfy blues

Here’s what I wore Thursday May 11. I love this all blue look! It’s simple and comfy, but still really fun. I also loved the make-up I wore with this outfit, which will be my next post.
