Back in January I made two orders from Glam Shop, which is a Polish indie brand. I’ve heard great things about their eyeshadows, so I picked up seven eyeshadow palettes.
I picked up two 15-pan palettes; the Kwiat Paproci palette and the Słodko Kwaśna palette. The Kwiat Paproci palette is a neutral palette with a twist, and the Słodko Kwaśna palette has a very unique, colourful colour story. I haven’t worn the Kwiat Paproci palette yet, but I loved the look I created with the Słodko Kwaśna palette (which have not been posted on my blog yet).
I also purchased two of their 9-pan palettes; the Niezłe Ziółko palette and the Abstrakcja palette, which is a collab with MsDoncellita, whom I believe is a Polish influencer. I really like the purple colour story with a pop of mustardy yellow in MsDoncellita’s palette, and the green colour story of the Niezłe Ziółko palette is just stunning.
The last three palettes I bought were from the Wakacje ’70 collection, and they are called Muślinowa, Sorbety, and Nugatowa. I love the colour stories of all three palettes; don’t the shimmers look stunning!
I have an Asos haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in December, and I got everything 20% off.
I’d had this denim trenchcoat from River Island in my saved items for quite a while, and I decided to finally get it now that everything was 20% off. I wore it out to dinner last weekend, and I thought it looked really good.
Sticking with denim, I also picked up these denim western boots from PULL&BEAR, and I really like them too.
I bought the pink version of these boots back in October last year, and I’ve been wanting to get the blue pair as well, so this was the time.
The last pair of shoes I picked up are these pink leather Chelsea style boots from Asos Design. I’m wearing them in my latest outfit post.
Lastly, I purchased these four beauty products; the Bobbi Brown Luxe Cheek & Highlight palette in Rose Glow, the Clinique Almost Lipstick in 44 Pink Honey, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Squeeze Me lip balm in Vanilla Frosting, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener in Fair.
Here are some closer looks at the face palette and the lipstick.
I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas in a 25% off sale. Matas has a lot of high end brands as well as affordable/drugstore make-up.
I picked up another shade of the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes. It’s called Big Melons 12, and it’s a lovely bright, summery shade. I also got another shade of the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinsticks. It’s in the shade Amber, and I prefer this shade over Soft Amber.
I also purchased another shade of the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blushes. It’s in the shade Pink Glow. And then I wanted to try out the brand BeautyAct and picked up their Iconic face kit in Light/Medium, which includes a face powder, a highlighter, a blush, and a bronzer.
Lastly, I got some lip products. I bought another shade of the Rimmel Kind & Free tinted lip balms, which I really like. This one is in the shade 005 Turbo Red. I also picked up the Essence Juicy Bomb lip oil set, which includes the following five lip oils: 01 Coconut Crush, 02 Strawberry Star, 03 Mandarin Miracle, 04 Mint Magic, and 05 Cherry Cheer.
I have a collective Indie make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these products throughout December 2023, and I got them from Monolith and Purish.
I’d been wanting the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Juicy Cheeks face palette for quite a while, and I’m so glad I bought it, because these blush shades are stunning! If you like colourful, pigmented blushes this is the palette for you.
I picked up two palettes from Bellabeautébar. The first one is the Pastel Garden palette, which I got on sale. I really enjoy the Bellabeautébar formula, and this palette has every pastel shade under the sun. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
This is the Bellabeautébar Bejeweled palette, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I created one of my favourite eye looks I’ve done this year so far with this palette. I think it would be fun to use this palette together with the Pastel Garden palette.
I’ve been loving Unearthly Cosmetics lately as well, and the Don’t Be Jelly palette has some beautiful shimmers. The colour story is quite unique, and I haven’t played with this palette yet, because I have to figure out what kind of look to create with it.
The Whats Up Beauty Dragon Eye palette has the most incredible packaging! The colour story is a bit more muted, but pretty nonetheless, and I loved the look I created with this palette.
It’s not very often that I wear the same palette twice within a week, but that’s what I did with the Wicked Widow Beauty Resurrection palette. It’s like a rainbow palette with a twist, and I love it! I wore it on my eyes here and here.
As I have mentioned a couple of times lately, I’ve been really into darker make-up, and the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade Magnetic pressed powder palette is next on the list for creating a dark, smokey look.
I’d been wanting to try the Glamlite Dirty Martini palette pretty much ever since it launched, because I love an olive/khaki/lime green colour story. This palette is super pretty, and I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
Another colour story I love is a pink and green one, and the Glamlite x Strawberry Shortcake “Berrylicious” palette is another palette that has been on my wishlist for a while. I also picked up the Glamlite x Strawberry Shortcake Berry Sweet lip kit, which comes with a lipgloss and a lipstick. I’m wearing the palette and the lipstick here.
I have a collective clothing and accessories haul to share with you today. I either bought or received these items as presents back in December.
You have already seen me wear this denim maxi dress from Monki. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and when Monki had a sale, I decided to finally get it.
I also got this dress in the Monki sale. I’ll be posting a look with this dress soon-ish.
I’ve already worn this jumper several times, and it’s just so comfy. I’m wearing it here.
I love a fitted roll neck top, and purple and red are two of my favourite colours, so I had to have this top from Monki. I wore it underneath the denim maxi dress.
The last item(s) I bought in the Monki sale was a 5 pack of Christmas socks for next Christmas season.
This denim skirt from H&M has quickly become a favourite. I’m wearing it here and here.
I featured this Stine Goya Lotta bag in my January 5 favourites post, and it’s the perfect everyday bag. It was a Christmas present from my parents.
This lilac Silfen Ulrikke bag was also a Christmas present, and I really like Silfen bags.
Lastly, I got some jewellery for Christmas. The hoops are from Pandora, and I’ve been wearing them with some Disney pendants. The Nightmare Before Christmas Pandora charm was a Christmas present from my boyfriend; we love The Nightmare Before Christmas and watch it every year on Halloween. Then I also got two Trollbeads glass beads and a ring from Maanesten called Brook. I’ve worn the ring every day since I got it.
I have a small-ish Beauty Bay sale haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in November last year.
I’d been wanting to try out Nikkie Tutorials’ brand Nimya for a while, so I picked up the eyeshadow pro kit, which includes the Nimya The Palette, the Set It & Forget It setting spray, and the Blow Before You Go fan. I wore the palette here, and I loved how my eye look turned out. I haven’t tried the setting spray yet, but I love the fan and use it every time I do my make-up.
I’ve already featured the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin serum skin tint (shade: 2) in a 5 favourites post, and I still love this product! I also love the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade Prima Donna. It wore so well all day, and I would love to get my hands on more shades. I’m wearing the blush here.
Lastly, I picked up two of the Trixie Cosmetics Stay The Night liquid shimmer toppers. They’re in the shades Love Potion and Take A Hike. They look really pretty.
On Black Friday, Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide deal, so I picked up some things.
I purchased the Black Friday mystery box, which included these two eyeshadow palettes; the It’s A Mood palette and the Off Melrose palette. I already own the It’s A Mood palette, but the Off Melrose palette is a new addition to my collection.
For cheeks, the mystery box included the Such A Rush cheek palette, which is way to dark for me, and the Super Shock blush in Birthday Suit, which I already own.
The box also included the Feather Effect brow pen in Black Brown, the liquid liner in The Hills, and the Super Shock shadow in Ripple. I didn’t own any of these products already.
The last two products in my mystery box were the Fourth Ray Beauty Overnight Success youth boosting mask and the Lux liquid lipstick in Just Imagine. I haven’t tried these products yet, but I definitely will at some point.
Moving on to the rest of the products I purchased in the sale. I got two more of the monochromatic 9-pan palettes; It’s My Pleasure and Orange You Glad?. I used both palettes to create this look, and I love the outcome.
I really enjoy the BFF créme gel liners from Colourpop, so I picked up the Sailor Moon Tokyo Love créme gel liner set including the two shades Azabu-Juban and Crystal Tokyo.
Another pencil from Colourpop that I really enjoy is the Lippie pencil, so I picked up two shades; V Cute and Love Bug.
I love the Pretty Fresh hydrating setting mist, so I got a back-up. I also love the Super Shock blushes and got the shade Lil Vibe, which is a super vibrant purply shade.
Lastly, I purchased a couple of Disney products. I got the Snow White Magic Mirror hand mirror, and then I finally got my hands on the Winnie The Pooh Hunny Pot lip care kit (include a lip scrub and a lip mask), which is so similar to the Winnie The Pooh lip care set from Catrice.
I have a huge Essence and Catrice haul to share with you today. It’s their latest Disney collabs; Essence Disney Mickey and Friends and Catrice Disney Winnie The Pooh. Let’s begin with the Essence Disney Mickey and Friends collection.
I picked up two of the eyeshadow palettes. I got 01 Dreams Are Forever, which has a green colour story and 03 Laughter Is Timeless, which has a blue colour story. I really liked the quality of green one, but the blue one was lacking in the pigmentation department. Both are very cute to look at though.
I purchased both of the Bouncy blushes. They’re in the shades 01 Never Grow Up and 02 Another Perfect Day. I think these are supposed to mimic the MAC Glow Play blushes, which has a blush formula that I love, so I think it’s nice to have an affordable version.
For lips I picked up the Balmy Gloss in 02 Back To Nature and the two Fruity lip balms in 01 Oh Cranberry! and 02 Red Berries Vibes!. The packaging on these is very cute.
The Essence collection also included two fixing sprays; the Happy Mood & Fixing Spray in 010 Nature Makes Me Happy and the Relaxing Mood & Fixing Spray in 020 Nature, The Antidote To Stress.
I love Essence nail polishes, and these are metallic shades called 01 Adventure Awaits and 02 Aw, Phooey!.
Lastly from the Essence Mickey and Friends collection, we have some tools. The collection included a cream blush brush and an eyeshadow brush and also creaseless hair clips.
Now let’s move on to the Catrice Disney Winnie The Pooh collection. I only picked up one of the eyeshadow palettes. This one is called 020 Friends Lift Each Other Up and has a lilac/purple colour story.
The Catrice collection included two Soft Glow bronzers in the shades 010 I Think It’s Called Love and 020 Promise You Won’t Forget Me Ever. These are so adorable!
The lip products in the Winnie The Pooh collection was a lip oil in 010 Silly Old Bear and some lip balms. I picked up the lip balm in the shade 010 Poohisms.
For lips I also got the Trio Lip Care Set 3pcs, which includes a lip mask, a lip scrub, and a lip exfoliator tool (I’m not sure if that is the proper name for it). This set is just the cutest!
I also purchased one of the nail polishes from the Catrice collection. It’s the Dream In Soft Glaze nail polish in 020 Let Your Sillyness Shine. I also got the nail and cuticle oil.
This collection also had an Illuminating Primer in 010 Poohtiful and a lash curler.
The very last thing in this haul is the soothing hand cream in 020 Just Doing Nothing with the cute Eeyore on the front.
I have a large collective haul to share with you today. It consists of shoes, clothes, accessories, and make-up.
I featured these Crocs Classic Crush boots in my December favourites post, and I’ve continued to wear them a lot. I bought them on sale on the H&M app.
I love a boot with a chunky heel and a platform, and these pink suede ones from Asos Design are really nice.
This red checkered suit from Asos Design came in very handy during the holiday season. I wore it here and here.
This red bow hair clip from H&M was a stable Christmas accessory for me, and I still love it and will continue to wear it.
This silver ring is called the Drippy V-Ring from Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig. I wear it pretty much every day.
In my last haul, I featured the other shade of the Catrice METAFACE nail lacquers, but I wanted this lighter shade as well called C02 Cyber Beauty.
I was curious to try the new Clarins Joli Rouge lipsticks, so I picked up the satin lipstick in 742 Joli Rouge and the velvet matte lipstick in 754V Deep Red. Both are very pretty red shades, and the packaging is stunning.
I also got some stuff from Fenty Beauty. I purchased another shade of the Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes (shade: Pinky Promise 13), the limited edition Gloss Bomb Crystal Holographic lip luminizer in Holla’Gram, and the Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth skin tint stick in shade 02.
I picked up one more product from Fenty Beauty from another website, and it’s the Fenty Icon Semi Matte refillable lipstick set which was a limited edition holiday release. The lipstick shade is called Sorta Single. I also purchased two products from Rare Beauty; another Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Strong) and another Soft Pinch tinted lip oil (shade: Affection).
From MAC I got one of the new at the time Locked Kiss 24hr lipsticks, and I picked a beautiful warm tomato red called Gutsy. I received the Made To Wow Brow Kit Auburn as a free gift with purchase. The kit includes a Brow Set Clear and a Brows Styler in Penny, which is not my shade.
You know I love Natasha Denona eyeshadows, and I was very excited to see a blue palette from the brand. This is the Mini Triochrome, and I think it’s very pretty. I’m wearing it here.
I’ve got two more palettes to share with you, and I’m really excited about both. First, I had to have the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette, and I have to say that it’s pretty much the perfect pastel palette. I used it to create this eye look.
The other indie palette that I also had to have was the Cosmic Brushes/Beauty Gothic palette. I wore this on New Year’s Eve, and it was beautiful.
The very last thing in this haul is the Sigma Dry’n Shape Tower Face & Eyes, which is described as a stackable brush care station, so a tower to hold your brushes after you’ve cleaned them. I’ve used it once, and it worked pretty well.
I have a collective Lyko haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in October.
The Clinique Cheek Pop blushes are some of my favourites, so I’ve had the Black Honey Pop shade on my wishlist ever since I first saw it. It’s so pretty.
I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners, and I got a great deal on this deluxe mini lip liner set. It includes the shades Cherry, Raisin, Mocha, Deep Taupe, Dusty Rose, Muted Mauve, Toffee Rose, and Baby Roses. It also includes a sharpener.
Next up is Essence. I picked up two of the Blend & Line eyeshadow sticks. They’re in the shades 02 Oh My Ruby and 03 Feeling Leafy.
I’m a little obsessed with the Essence Holo Bomb effect nail lacquers, so I had to have all five shades; 01 Ridin’ Holo, 02 Holo Moly, 03 hoLOL, 04 Holo It´s Me, and 05 Holo Me Tight. I’m wearing the green one right now.
I got two more nail polishes; the Essence gel nail colour in 59 Brick Or Treat and the Catrice METAFACE nail lacquer in C01 Pretty Avatar. And let’s continue with some Catrice products.
From the Catrice METAFACE collection I also picked up the highlighter face glaze pot in C01 Virtual, which is super pretty. I also wanted to try out the Magic Shaper contour & glow stick and got the shade 010 Light.
The last products I got from Catrice were the Wild Escape high shine lipstick pens in C01 Into The Wild and C03 Unknown Desert, and they’re very nice.
Here’s a little random mix of products before I get to the NYX stuff. I picked up the Wet n Wild MegaLast Incognito AllDay full coverage concealer in Light Beige, but the shade is all wrong, so I’ve already decluttered it. The lipsticks are from MUA Makeup Academy and they’re the Neon creamy matte lipsticks in Dare and Ultraviolet. When I lived in England 10 years ago, I purchased and wore a lot of products from MUA, so I thought it would be fun to try out some newer products from the brand.
And lastly, I bought some things from NYX. I got another shade of the Ultimate Glow Shots, and it’s called 22 Watermelon Wealth. It was quite patchy though, which I don’t find the other shades I’ve tried to be, so I did declutter this shade from my collection. Then I got the Ultimate Shadow Palette in Vintage Jean Baby, which I thought had a cute colour story and theme. I also picked up two of the NYX Jumbo multi-use face sticks. They’re in the shades 02 Vanilla Ice Cream and 04 Blueberry Muffin, and they’re pretty fun.
