Here’s what I wore Friday July 5. I sadly found an unfixable hole in the tulip shirt, so I had to get rid of it, which was a shame. However, I had it for a long time, and I bought it second hand, so it’s been used and loved.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Fantasy Cosmetica Sorcerer palette was the perfect palette to create an eye look with to go with this outfit.

This is my collective beauty haul from June. This haul includes a lot of good stuff.
First I’m going to show you the items I picked up from the Danish drugstore Matas. I got most of the stuff on sale. I added another Sol de Janeiro scent to my collection. This is the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 perfume mist.
These two products are from the Essence It’s Bubble Gum Fun collection. I’ve already decluttered the liquid highlighter in 01 Bubble Gum’tastic, but the bouncy blush in 01 Make My Heart Bubble is decent as far as I remember.
The NYX Butter Gloss Bling lipglosses are really nice glittery glosses. I picked up the shades 05 She Got Money and 07 Big Spender.
I was really excited to try the Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour blushlighter in Fresh Peach, but after trying it I don’t think it’s going to be one of my go-to glowy blushes due to the very golden sheen. The Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil ‘N Gloss in $uperfine $uga looks really pretty.
I also purchased a selection of products from Clarins. I got the Bronzing Compact sunkissed healthy glow powder, two of the Instant Comfort lip oils in 24 White and 25 Black, and two of the Lip Oil balms in 2 Pitaya and 5 Cherry. I really enjoy these products.
Let’s move on to the things I bought from Sephora. I picked up these three cheek products; the Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer in Soleil Sand, the Haus Labs Color Fuse Longwear Glassy Lip + Blushstick in Glassy Lilac, and the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint blush and lip stain in Burst. I really like the two products from Haus Labs, but I don’t really get the hype around the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints.
The other three make-up products I picked up from Sephora are the Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder in Light, the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in P1, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier in Light. I really like the Rare Beauty powder, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Skincare Infused Glow Beautifier is really pretty, but I just can’t seem to find the right shade of the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer. Maybe it’s time to give up.
Kayali is probably my favourite perfume brand, and I was so excited to get my hands on the Vacay in a Bottle miniature set. The set comes with the following four scents; Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom I 24, Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14, Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37, and Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco I 20. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but I think it’s either Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14 or Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37.
Lastly, I had to buy these two stunning palettes from Cosmic Brushes. They’re called the Nudetrals palette and the Cooltrals palette, and I’m so impressed by both. Cosmic Brushes makes some of the best quality eyeshadows in my opinion.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve done tons of pink make-up looks, and they never grow old.
(Base: primers – Huda Beauty Glowish Blur Jam silicone-free smoothing primer + L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow), foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealers – e.l.f.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday July 3. Just a casual, comfy pink and red look.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As you might be able to tell, my eyeshadow had already started fading and creasing when I took these pictures right after I’d done my make-up. Once again, I’m disappointed in Ace Beauté eyeshadows.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Maybelline SuperStay 24H skin tint (shade: 03), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + e.l.f.

Lips: Essence Stay 8h lipliner in 08 Passionate + Catrice The Joker matte lipstick in 020 Serious Smiles)
Here’s what I wore Tuesday July 2. I find this denim maxi dress a bit difficult to style, because it pretty much is the entire outfit, however, I think the denim flower brooch, the pearl necklace, and my Hello Kitty Siren Crocs add the perfect amount of details to the look.
(Dress – Monki, brooch – NA-KD, shoes – Crocs)
I have huge Lyko haul to share with you today. It consists of the Essence Harley Quinn collection and the Catrice The Joker collection plus a bunch of other stuff including sale items.
Let’s begin with the Essence Harley Quinn collection, which I’m pretty impressed by so far. I picked up two Jelly lipsticks in 01 Psycho Pink and 02 Gotham Glam and two Multi-reflective lipglosses in 01 Harley Glow and 02 Harley Chic. I really like both formulas.
I initially thought about skipping the eyeshadow palettes, because I haven’t loved the Essence eyeshadow formulas lately, but I picked up the eyeshadow palette in 02 Mad Love anyways. However, I could have skipped it, since it’s nothing special.
So far I really like the Pink loose setting powder in 01 Harley Vibes and I also liked the coloured mascara in 01 Purple the one time I used it.
The Meta Glow highlighters in 01 Rebel and 02 Lucky You are some of my favourite products from this collection. They’re great affordable shifty highlighters.
I love the Holo Bomb effect nail lacquers from Essence and this collection included two shades in 01 XOXO, Harley and 02 Chaos Queen.
Let’s move on to the Catrice The Joker collection. For lips, I picked up the lip oil and the matte lipstick in 020 Serious Smiles.
I didn’t get any of the eyeshadow palettes in this collection, but I did buy the eyeshadow toppers in 010 Hazardous and 020 Pow and the liquid eyeliners in 010 Eye-ronic Jester and 020 Inkredible Jokes, and both products are quite nice.
I know this is called the Maxi baked bronzer (shade: 010 Can’t Catch Me), but I’d wish the packaging was smaller, because I think I would get more use out of the product then.
These are the liquid blushes in 010 Prankster Pro, 020 The Joker’s Joy, and 030 Puddin’ Plum. These are very pigmented and the colours are very pretty.
These are the eyeshadow brush and the liquid blush brush from the collection.
And the last two products I got from The Joker collection are the 2-Phase face serum and Hair & Body mist.
Here’s a random selection of products I purchased. I got the Clinique x Kate Spade Pop Plush creamy lip gloss in Juicy Apple on sale. I loved the colour of the BBIA Ready To Wear Downy Cheek blush in 04 Downy Lavender, and I hadn’t tried a Milani baked blush in years, so I picked up the shade Dolce Pink. The Essence Kissed By The Light illuminating powder in 02 Sun Kissed came broken, but I’ve kept it for now to see if I get some use out of it.
I also got another shade of the NYX Buttermelt bronzer. This is the shade 01 Butta Cup. And then I picked up the Dose of Colors liquid matte lipstick in Warm Me Up. Both was on sale.
I’ve never tried anything from Artdeco, but I thought the packaging on these products were so pretty, so I decided to give them a go. They’re the All Seasons bronzing powder and the Sunkissed blush.
I love the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed, so I picked up two more shades on sale. They’re in the shades Bellini and Rosé N Brunch. I also got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Vision Flush Glow in Femme, which is very pretty.
The last thing I bought was the Tweezerman Minnie Mouse Just Imagine eyelash curler.
And then I received the Make Up Store metallic liquid lipstick in Icon as a free gift with purchase.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was so excited to finally create an eye look with the Bellabeautébar x Deandranicoleee Ultra Violet palette, and now I really want to create another look with the palette. I just love purple eyeshadow so much!
