Beauty Bay haul – mainly sale (October 2024)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. It consists of products from By BEAUTY BAY, Glisten Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Made By Mitchell.

You can say that I collect the By BEAUTY BAY limited edition 20 colour palettes, so I had to pick up the 2024 holiday palette called Celestial Charms. I love purples and I really like jewel tones as well, so this is a very pretty colour story. This is the only product in this haul that wasn’t on sale.

I’d been wanting to try the Glisten Cosmetics Spectra Lash mascaras, which come in a bunch of fun colours. I picked up the ones in Green and Periwinkle. I also bought another Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liner, and it’s in the shade Caramel.

This might have been a bit of an excessive purchase, because who needs this many cream blushes in one palette? But I really like the Made By Mitchell Curve Cases, and it was 50% off, so I caved.

The rest of the products in this haul are different highlighters from Made By Mitchell. The Blursh Lights liquid highlighters are probably my favourite products from Made By Mitchell, so I picked up these two fun shades from the Graffiti collection; the green one is called Zombie and the purple one is called Offline. I also wanted to try out the Slip Dew cream highlighter and chose the shade Crystal Drip. I’m not sure how I feel about that formula yet though.

Lastly, I’d also been wanting to try the Made By Mitchell Blursh Press’d duo highlighter palette, even though I really dislike the packaging. I picked the Dripped In Ice duo, which has the two shades Drip Drip and Ice Ice BB, which also comes in the liquid version. The highlighter duo also came with a highlighter brush, which is nice.

Opted for comfortable shoes

Here’s what I wore Friday November 15. I went to a family birthday in the evening, so I wanted to be dressy, but opted for comfortable shoes, because the birthday party was in town and therefore in walking distance.

5 favourites – March

March has come to an end, and in Denmark we’ll be starting of April with a couple of beautiful sunny spring days. I’m so ready for warmer weather, so I’m hoping to see more of it throughout the month. All of my March favourites that I’ll be sharing with you today are beauty-related. I tried out two great foundations, fell more in love with a blush formula and a mascara shade, and wore a beautiful nail colour.

Maybelline Superstay Lumi Matte foundation (shade: 96): I’d been wanting to try this foundation ever since it launched, and I’m so glad I finally decided to buy it, because it’s so nice. I’m not into matte foundations, but a lumi matte foundation, I can get behind. It’s a buildable foundation, which I like, and it just looks great on the skin.

Essence foundation stick in (shade: 50): I love to wear a stick foundation on days where I have to get up early to go to work early, and I’ve been really enjoying this one from Essence. It’s quick and easy to apply, and it looks good.

Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filters (various shades): These might be my favourite liquid blushes in my collection. This formula is so good! I have a bunch of shades, and I’ll probably continue to add more.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Burgundy Haze): This is one of my absolute favourite mascara formulas, and I love that it comes in so many shades now. The shade Burgundy Haze has been my favourite though, because it goes with so many different eye looks.

Catrice Gel Affair nail lacquer (shade: 033 You’re The Lime To My Tequila): I’ve noticed that I’ve been loving lime green more and more, and this nail colour is so stunning. It’s pretty much the perfect spring nail colour.

Dark reds and lavender purple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this make-up look is so pretty. I love the dark reds paired with the lavender purple on the eyes, and that red lip is stunning if I do say so myself.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Missha M Perfect Cover B.B Cream Spf 42 (shade: 21 Light Beige), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder (shade: Fair/Medium) + Anastasia Beverly Hills loose setting powder in Translucent. Face make-up: I forgot to write it down. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Bellabeautébar Vamp palette (shades: Immortality + Drained + Mikaelson + Salvatore + Hello, Brother + Predator + Threshold + Skin of a Killer), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star mascara, eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 008 Lavender. Eyebrows: MAC Shape + Shade brow tint in Taupe + Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. Lips: MAC Centre of Attention lip pencil + MAC Macximal Sleek satin lipstick in Centre of Attention)
