Big Lyko haul (May 2024)
I have a rather big Lyko haul to share with you today. Most of the products are from Essence and Catrice.
This is the Catrice Seeking Flowers collection. As you can see, I picked up a lot of products from this collection, and after trying most of the products, I have to say that it’s one of my favourite collections Catrice has done in a while. I picked up the hydrating lip mask (which is the only product I haven’t tried yet), the two blush & brush sticks in C01 Berrylicious and C02 S-peachless, the cream-to-powder highlighter in C01 Watch Me Bloom, and the three hydrating lip stains in C01 So Apricot!, C02 Fuchsia Fling, and C03 Bloomtastic.
These next four products are from the Catrice Wild Escape collection, which is an older collection, so I got all of these products on sale. I got the eyeshadow palette in C01 Life In Paradise, the glowy bronzer & highlighter in C01 Wild Side, the liquid blush in C01 Rare Adventure, and the high shine lipstick pen in C02 Purely Savage.
Here’s a couple of Essence palettes that I also bought on sale. It’s the Essence Golden Days Ahead eyeshadow palette in 01 Livin’ For Golden Drama and the Love, Luck & Dragons eyeshadow palette in 01 Follow The Dragon Sparks. I was especially impressed by the quality of the Love, Luck & Dragons palette.
The last two items I got on sale were the Catrice Who I Am double ended eye pencil in C01 I Am Art and the Catrice Magic Christmas Story nail lacquer in C02 Clara’s Adventures. I also picked up the Essence Got A Crush On Apricots freckles pen in 01 Après Apricots, which I’ve been really enjoying.
The last product I picked up which wasn’t on sale was the NYX Buttermelt bronzer in the shade 02 All Butta’d Up. I love this bronzer formula so much that I’ve bought another shade since.
And lastly, I got the Make Up Store #502 blush brush small as a free gift with purchase.
Fighter
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m very impressed by the Fantasy Cosmetica eyeshadow formulas, and the Fighter palette is such a cool neutral palette; I love the mixed metals vibes.

Neutral though not boring
Here’s what I wore Friday June 14. It was the last day of my week of wearing Nike Cortez sneakers, and I decided to end off the week with a more neutral (though not boring) look.

GlossGods Cosmetics palette sale haul (May 2024)
GlossGods Cosmetics is a great Swedish indie brand, and they had a sale back in May, which I decided to take advantage of. I picked up five beautiful palettes.
The Let’s Get Nude was their newest palette at the time. I would call this a neutral palette with a twist, and I really like the first look I created with it.
I didn’t own any of their “First Gal on…” palettes, so I picked up all four. The First Gal on Venus palette came in a discounted set with the Let’s Get Nude palette. This palette has such a beautiful warm and fiery colour story.
If you love cool-toned eyeshadows the First Gal on Jupiter palette is for you. This palette has some intense and beautiful shimmers.
The last two palettes are all special shimmer palettes. This one is the First Gal on Mars palette, which includes some beautiful pinks, purples, and warmer tones.
And this very last one is the First Gal on the Moon palette, which includes all of the blues and greens. Another beautiful palette.
Dead roses
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing the Bellabeautébar Dead Roses palette on my eyes, and I think the look turned out so pretty.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f.
