Zalando sale haul (March 2024)

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes one piece of clothing, two pairs of shoes, and some make-up bits.

The only clothing item in this haul is this shiny pink shirt from Monki, which I thought would be a nice layering piece.

These lime green mules are also from Monki. I already own them in dark grey denim, but I just love this kind of green colour so much, so I had to have this version as well.

You have no idea how much I wanted a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas back in the early 2010’s, but I was a teenager, and they were a little too expensive for me to buy back then. When I came across this multicoloured glitter pair at Zalando and saw that they were on sale, I purchased them immediately, and my teenage dream of owning a pair of Litas finally came true. I wore them in my latest outfit post.

Earlier this year MAC launched a collection based on their famous Teddy lipstick. I picked up the Lustreglass lipstick in Ready Teddy and the Deeply Teddy lip pencil. I’m wearing both on my lips here.

3ina makes really nice lip products. I had already tried the The Color Lip Glow formula and really liked it, so I picked up two more shades; 114 (Terracotta Brown) and 170 (Coral Red). I’d also been wanting to try the lipsticks just called The Lipstick, and I picked up the two shades 172 (Orange) and 430 (Cold Purple). These are very nice lipsticks too.

Lastly, I got the L’Oréal Infaillible 3-Second setting mist. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definitely intrigued by it.

Collective haul – make-up (March 2024)

I have a collective make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in March.

The e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer is one of my favourite primers, and I don’t want to run out of it without having a back-up ready.

The Pixi + Hello Kitty collection is by no means new, but I’d been intrigued by the Chrome Glow palette in Charming Glow, which is an all shimmer highligher and blush palette, and I have to say that I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

These next three products I purchased in a Sephora sale. I wasn’t sure I wanted to get the Natasha Denona Hy-Per Natural face palette, but as it was on sale, I picked it up. It’s a nice travel palette. On the other hand, I definitely wanted to pick up the Natasha Denona My Mini Dream glow blush. Isn’t is cute? I also got the Sephora Collection Soft Matte & Easy smooth matte lip colour in Yes And? 9, which is a pretty coral red shade.

From Essence I bought two of the Baby Got Blush liquid blushes, and they’re in the shades 10 Pinkalicious and 30 Dusty Rose. I also got The Slim Stick lipstick in 103 Brickroad, the Call Me Queen mascara, and the Brow Lifting gel set.

This is the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow Blush in Play Time, and it’s such a pretty, glowy blush. I’ve been really into glowy blushes lately.

Lastly, I just had to buy the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Neon collection including three shades in 21 Joyful Yellow, 22 Daring Orange, and 23 Passionate Pink. The Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is one of my favourite lip oil formulas. And they smell incredible!

Collective haul – clothes (March 2024)

I have a collective clothes haul to share with you today. Everything in this haul was purchased on sale.

These beautiful dresses are from the Danish brand Crás, which is a brand that I’ve been really into lately. They make such fun and colourful pieces, and these dresses are no exception.

This dress is also from Crás and it’s so pretty and so flattering on.

I’ve already posted an outfit with this acid lime sweater vest, and I think it’s such a fun layering piece.

I’m a little obsessed with the blazers from Crás, and how stunning is this swim blue colour as it’s called?

I’m so obsessed with the Crás blazers that I also got one in pink, and for this one I also picked up matching trousers.

The last piece I got from Crás is this pastel, striped summer hat, and I think it’s adorable. I’m pretty sure, I’m going to bring this hat with me on summer holiday this year.

Here’s the only item I picked up from Asos. They’re flared trousers from the brand Reclaimed Vintage, and I’ve already got good use out of them.

The next handful of pieces are from H&M. I’m getting a lot of use out of these kinds of tank tops these days, so I’m glad to have added a white one and a tomato red one to my collection.

I’m really into olive green/swampy greens at the moment, so I love the colour of this shirt.

It’s not often that I add new belts to my wardrobe these days, but I thought this pink one would be a fun addition.

The next three (colourful) pieces are from a brand called YAS. I’ve been to two weddings this year, and I wore this beautiful maxi dress to the first one. I wasn’t sure if the style suited me, but I got so many compliments on my wedding guest look.

How fun is this shirt? I just love the colours!

This skirt is so me. I love the length, and I love the print.

This is just a nice, plain orange T-shirt that I bought on the same day as the three pieces from YAS. It’s from a brand called Kaffe, which means coffee in Danish.

The last three pieces are all second hand. It’s been nice to slowly get into second hand shopping again. My mum found this dress for me, and it’s really cute and quite different from anything else I own. I love the neckline.

I’ve already posted a look with this grey kilt skirt. I love finding fun pieces like this.

And speaking of fun pieces. This last piece might look like a green and navy tartan skirt, but it’s actually trousers. It’s finding these kinds of pieces that make second hand shopping so fun.

Sephora haul (February 2024)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. The haul includes new at the time products from R.E.M. Beauty and Natasha Denona.

I picked up three of the R.E.M. Beauty Hypernova satin matte blushes and one of the Hypernova satin matte bronzers.

These are the three blush shades I purchased (from left to right): Pinking of U, Skinny Dipped, and Peach Planet. Pinking of U wasn’t available at first, but when it came back in stock there was a 20% off deal on the Sephora app, so I obviously had to get it then. These are very nice blushes and I love the shades.

I picked up the lightest bronzer shade, which is called Send 2 Voicemail. I’m not quite sure how I feel about this shade and undertone yet.

I love most products from Natasha Denona, and I was definitely interested in this Berry Pop collection, but I’m glad I waited to pick it up until that 20% off deal.

This is the Berry Pop Cheek Trio – blush & highlighter palette. Isn’t it pretty?!

The small collection also included the Berry Pop lipstick and the Berry Pop lip crayon. I really enjoy both the lipsticks and lip crayons from Natasha Denona, and this berry colour looks really pretty.

Collective beauty haul (February 2024)

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in February.

This is the Laura Mercier Dawn Of Discovery illuminating set which includes a full size Blush Color Infusion in All That Sparkles and a mini Caviar Stick eye color in Strike A Pose. I’d been wanting to try the Laura Mercier blushes for a while, and this one is very pretty. The Caviar Stick is fine, but not my favourite.

Another product I’d been wanting to try ever since I first saw it is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Seeker highlighter in Pearl. It’s a limited edition release for the Lunar New Year, and it’s very pretty. I’m also excited to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze gel. I got a deluxe mini size.

The rest of the products in this haul are from Oden’s Eye. I made an order when the brand released the Legendary Diversa II collection. I picked up the three collab palettes from the collection; the Oden’s Eye x Fancy Face Earth Wood palette, the Oden’s Eye x Annette Obrestad Mighty Monster palette, and the Oden’s Eye x JUDY Spring Dragon palette. I’ve created beautiful looks with all three palettes.

With the three palettes I received a key ring, a refrigerator magnet, and a scarf.

I didn’t pick up any of the lip products from the Legendary Diversa II collection, but I did pick up three of the lip products from the Helaween + Angelica collection from last Halloween. I got two of the matte liquid lipsticks in the shades Shadow Creature and Swamp Fog and one of the shine lipglosses in the shade Quicksand.

The last product I picked up was the Norn’s Mesmerizer highlighter in Web Of Destiny, and it’s super pretty.

Monolith haul (February 2024)

I have a huge Monolith haul to share with you today. These are the products I purchased from Monolith back in February.

I’d had the Bellabeautébar Basic Witch palette on my wishlist for quite a while, but it’s almost always out of stock, so when it was briefly back in stock, I had to purchase it right away. I love this colour story, and the quality is great! I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The Gourmande Girls Nightshade palette is another palette I’d had my eye on, so when it also came back stock, I added it to my cart immediately. This also has a colour story that is right up my street, and I wore the palette in my make-up post from yesterday.

I don’t know anything about Rick & Morty, but I’d heard such great things about the Glamlite x Rick & Morty palette, so when I found it on sale, I decided to give it a try. It’s such a vibrant colour story, which I love. I’ve used the palette a couple of times, and I’ve really enjoyed the looks I’ve created with it. You can see one of the looks here.

It’s not very often that I go for a warm colour story like this one, but I was very intrigued by the Glamlite x Garfield palette. I have to say that I really like Garfield, and I think the packaging is so cute, but I was also very impressed by the quality of this palette, and I loved the look I created with it (which I haven’t posted yet).

This is my first Adept Cosmetics palette. I’ve been wanting to try the brand for a while, but the Element 115 palette was the first palette, which had a colour story that I was really attracted to. I love that Adept Cosmetics palettes are shimmer heavy, and the shimmers are stunning. I really enjoy the matte shades in this palette too though.

I’ve been dying to get my hands on these Ensley Reign Cosmetics palettes! I initially wasn’t sure whether to get the Flower Moon palette or not, but I decided to buy it (this is the original version), and I’m so glad I did, because it’s simply stunning.

The Harvest Moon palette is probably one of the brand’s most talked about palettes, and I see why. This dark, autumnal colour story is just beautiful!

But the Ensley Reign Cosmetics palette I wanted the most was the Lands Of Enchantment palette. I mean, just look at this heavenly colour story! All three of these Ensley Reign Cosmetics palettes have amazing quality.

Fantasy Cosmetica is another brand that I’m keeping an eye on, because I love the first two palettes I got from the brand (Warlock and Rogue). This is the Wizard palette, and this blue and pastel yellow colour story is so beautiful. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

When Fantasy Cosmetica released the Wizard palette they also released the Celestial Lights highlighter palette, which includes three colourful and very pigmented shifty highlighters. If you like that kind of highlighter, this palette is great.

The last products in this haul are from Unearthly Cosmetics, which is a brand that I really love. This is the Dreamer palette, and it actually took me by surprise just how gorgeous this palette is on the eyes. I’m wearing it here, and I’m in love with that eye look.

I was so excited about the Unearthly Cosmetics VDAY Mystery Box, which includes the Charmer collection. It comes with an eyeshadow palette, four brushes, two liquid eyeliners, a liquid lipstick, a lip oil, a blush, and two lip glosses.

This is the Charmer palette and it is beautiful. I did a pink look with it here, but I really want to create a purply look with it as well.

The two Immortal liquid eyeliners came in the shades Love Struck and Tears, and they’re beautiful shifty, metallic liners. I’m wearing the shade Tears as a crease liner here.

The liquid blush in the shade Nirvana comes in the same packaging as the lip products and has a doe foot applicator.

These are the four lip products in the shades (from left to right) Bliss, Heartache, Admire, and Puppy Love.

And lastly, these are the four brushes that were included in the mystery box; A4, UC8-1, UC8-5, and UC8-7.

Huge Catrice haul (February 2024)

I have a huge Catrice haul to share with you today. It includes their Valentine’s Day collection and S/S 2024 drop.

Let’s begin with the Heart Affair collection that came out around Valentine’s Day. As you can see, I picked up a lot of the products from this collection. Let’s take a closer look at them.

The collection included two blush stamps. They’re in the shades C01 Love Expression and C02 Show Me Love, which are similar shades to the packaging. These are very pigmented, and maybe a bit too intense for my liking.

The highlighter in CO1 Stole My Heart comes in a very cute heart shaped compact, and it’s a nice slightly golden champagne shade.

I got two of the three matte liquid lipsticks shades. The shades I picked are C02 Married?! and C03 Taken?! I’ve only worn C03 Taken?! so far, but I really liked the formula, and the colours are very pretty.

I also bought two out of three shades of the full shine lipsticks. I chose the shades C01 Hearts On and C03 Heartbreaker. These are also very pretty and definitely shiny.

Lastly from the Heart Affair collection, I got two of the nail lacquers in shades C01 No One’s Lover and C03 Love Game, and I love both shades. The packaging is nice too.

Next up are the new spring/summer products I picked up. This is the Skin Glaze hydrating serum primer. So far I like it.

I’m not sure how I feel about the Magic Shaper face cream palette in 010 Holy Grail though. The bronzers are too deep and I’m not sure I like the formula very much.

These are the Blush Affair liquid blushes in 020 Orange Fizz and 030 Ready Red Go, and I remember these to be pretty nice.

Here’s a little bundle of products I got, and two of them are some of my favourites from this haul.

The Space Glam holo highlighter in 010 Beam Me Up! is beautiful. It has a transparent base and then it shifts different colours from pink to gold to green. I can’t believe that Catrice managed to create such a stunning shifty highlighter at such a low price point.

Here’s a closer look at the two lip products. I really enjoyed the Intense Matte lip pen in 070 Re(a)d My Lips, and I know I like the Scandalous Matte lipstick formula, so I picked up another shade called 130 Slay The Day.

Here are some more lip products I picked up. I really like the Shine Bomb lip lacquer in 060 Pinky Promise. I haven’t tried the Melt & Shine juicy lip balm in 100 Sunny Side Up yet, but I also really enjoyed the Drunk’n Diamonds plumping lip balm in 050 Bury Me In Rubies.

The Space Glam products are some of the big winners in my book. These are the Space Glam chrome eyeshadows in 010 Moonlight Glow, 020 Supernova, and 030 Galaxy Lights. I’ve only worn 010 Moonlight Glow on my eyes so far, but all three shades swatch beautifully. These are great multichrome eyeshadows from the drugstore.

For eyes I also got the Deep Matte liquid eyeshadow in 040 Lime Light and the High Gloss liquid eyeshadow in 010 Glossy Glam. I’ll be trying out the Deep Matte liquid eyeshadow tomorrow, and I haven’t tried the High Gloss liquid eyeshadow yet.

I’m very impressed by the Kohl Kajal waterproof eyeliners. I picked up the shades 110 Orange O’Clock, 150 Ultra Marine, and 170 Candy Rose.

Lastly, I purchased three of the Pastel Please nail polishes. I chose the shades 010 Think Pink, 020 Cloud Nine, and 040 Mint Breeze. I love that they all have shimmer.

Beauty Bay haul (January 2024)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. This is probably going to be my last Beauty Bay haul in a really long time. I made two rather large/expensive orders around Black Friday, and I never received my orders. I was in contact with customer service over a two month long period, and I was never provided with a refund for my missing orders. I usually don’t share this kind of information, but I lost quite a lot of money, which is obviously very upsetting. I purchased the products I’m hauling today while my correspondence with customer services was ongoing.

Some of the products I originally purchased back in November was the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Scorpio palette and two of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Shiny Trap lipsticks that launched with the Scorpio collection. I have to admit that I really dislike the outer packaging of this palette, but I think the colour story is really pretty. I did a look with this palette recently, and I really liked how it came out.

These are the Shiny Trap lipsticks in Hot Devotion and Gardening In Mayhem, and they’re really pretty. I’m wearing Hot Devotion here.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I picked up the Camo Hydrating CC Cream in Fair 120N and the Camo liquid blush in Coral Crush. I like both of these products.

I’ve always loved the By BEAUTY BAY eyeshadows and especially the limited edition 20 colour palettes. The Reckless Romance is this year’s Valentine’s Day release from By BEAUTY BAY, and I really like the dark take on a Valentine’s palette. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

Lastly, I got the By BEAUTY BAY sheer tinted lip balm in Strawberry as a free gift with purchase. I like a tinted lip balm, and this one is cute.

Zalando haul (January 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes two pairs of sneakers and some make-up.

I love that Nike Cortez sneakers are back and in a bunch of different colourways and materials. I purchased another neutral coloured pair, I think the colour is called sesame, and they’re so nice and versatile.

This is my first pair of sneakers from Asics. They’re not sleek like a pair of Nike Cortez, but they’re so comfy, and I like the floral print on the side.

The rest of the haul is make-up. I love the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Pink Air, and the NYX Vivid Rich eyeliner in Emerald Empire is also nice. I’m not sure how I feel about the Revolution Beam Bright silk touch highlighter in Diamond Glow yet.

I’ve been using the NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers a lot since I bought them. I got the shades 0.1 Green, 0.2 Pink, and 03 Alabaster.

I’m always intrigued by a lip product of this format. These are the NYX Fat Oil Slick Click shiny lip balms, and I picked up the shades 05 Link In My Bio, 08 #Thriving, 10 Double Tap, and 11 In A Mood. I’ve only worn the pink shade so far, and I remember liking it.

Large Colourpop haul (January 2024)

I have a rather large Colourpop haul to share with you today including the Twilight collection, the Lost in Love Valentine’s collection and more.

It’s been a while since I’ve waited in line to buy limited edition make-up online, but even so I was lucky enough to get the items I wanted from the Colourpop x Twilight collection at the original launch in January. I loved Twilight as a teenager, both the books and the films, so the collection is very nostalgic to me. I picked up the palette, the two Super Shock highlighters, and the three Lux lip oils.

This is what the Twilight palette looks like. After I had bought this collection I rewatched all of the films, and I think the colour story of the palette captures the colours of the first film so well.

I love Super Shock highlighters, so I really wanted to get my hands on these. They’re in the shades Vampire Skin and Meadow.

I purchased the Lux lip oils as a set. The set includes the shades Bells, Team Edward, and Team Jacob.

I picked up a lot of items from the Lost in Love collection, which was this year’s Valentine’s Day collection from Colourpop. I got the palette, the three Jelly Much shadows, the three lip & cheek balms, and one of the Ultra Glossy lips.

I love the Flirty Talk palette from last year’s Valentine’s Day collection, and I think I still prefer that one over the Lost in Love palette, however, this palette is really pretty as well. I’m wearing the palette and a couple of other products from this collection here.

I really enjoy the Jelly Much shadows in general, and these three shades are some of my new favourites. They’re called 4ever Valentine, All Love, and Moon & Stars.

The heart-shaped compacts from Colourpop are so cute, and I love that they did them with a new formula for this collection. They’re called the lip & cheek balms (I’ve only worn them on my cheeks though), and the shades are called Heart’s Content, Adore You, and Cutesy Wootsy. So far I really like this formula.

I believe this is my first time trying the Ultra Glossy lip formula. I just picked up the red shade called Lover Era, and it was very pretty.

Okay, I caved and purchased another mystery box. This was called the Secret Stash Mystery Box, and as you can see, it was a smaller box, which included four eyeshadow palettes and a F23 brush. I didn’t own any of these items beforehand, so I’m pretty pleased with this mystery box.

Here’s a closer look at the palettes; Lush Life, Colour Vision, Cashmere Forever, and She’s a Natural. I was most excited to get the Lush Life palette, which has really pretty packaging and a nice colour story.

Sticking with palettes, I decided to add two more monochromatic 9-pan palettes to my collection; the Wine & Only palette and the Mint To Be palette. Both are really pretty and good quality.

I love the Créme gel liners, so I was very intrigued to try out the multi-chrome version. I got this set including the shades Power Trip, Ventura Blvd, and Actin’ Up. These are very good multi-chrome eye liners.

Here’s a little random selection of sale items I picked up. I got the Extra Glazed palette, which is a very nice little blush and highlighter palette. I also picked up two blue Super Shock eyeshadows; Lap Dog and Eyeing You (Haunted House collection). And I also wanted to try the Ultra Blotted lip formula and got this pretty muted red shade called Keep It Classy.

The very last two products I purchased were the Super Shock highlighter in Stole the Show and the Glowing lip in Status. I can’t believe I didn’t already own the Stole the Show Super Shock highlighter, because it’s so stunning. And I did already own the Glowing lip in Status, but mine had never smelled good, so I picked up a new one (luckily is was on sale), because I love the colour.
