Collective haul (November 2023)

I have a collective accessories, clothes, and make-up haul to share with you today. All of these items were purchased before Black Friday (I’ll be posting a separate Black Friday haul some other day). Let’s begin with the accessories for once.

This olive green bag is from Silfen, which is a bag brand that I really like. The style is called Ulrikke, and it’s slightly bigger than my other Silfen bags.

I wear head bands all the time, and I felt like I needed this almost holographic glitter one from Becksöndergaard. I’m wearing it here.

This purple rose choker is from a brand called Sui Ava. I thought I would try this trend out.

Another hair accessory that I love is a big hair clip. I picked up these two from DesignB in an Asos sale.

In that Asos sale, I also got a set of Chrismas scrunchies from Pieces and green glitter hoops from Asos Design.

The only two pieces of clothing in this haul are both from H&M. Both of them are also Christmas themed. The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” T-shirt has a picture of Mariah Carey on the back.

I decided to try out the new make-up line from H&M and picked up a blush, a highlighter, and two lipsticks.

The Oh My Blush pressed powder blush is in the shade Fruit Punch, and the At First Light pressed powder highlighter is in the shade Glass Slipper. Both shades look so pretty.

I bought one of the Matte Lippie matte lip colors (Coral Fixation) and one of the Satin Icon satin lip colors (Indie Pop). I wore the matte Coral Fixation shade here (with a gloss on top), and I really liked the colour. I’m excited to try out Indie Pop as well.

The Christmas palettes Oden’s Eye released last year were some of my favourite palettes of the year. They’re absolutely stunning! This year Oden’s Eye relaunched last year’s palettes together with two new ones; the Snow Dream palette and the Hey Reindeer palette. I think these are really pretty too, however, I do prefer the colour stories of last year’s palettes.

I’ve been wanting to try Lunar Beauty eyeshadows for a while, and when I saw their holiday release, I knew that this was the palette I was going to try. The palette is called Siren Sunset, and it has a mix of neutral, blue, green, and purple shades. I think everything about this palette looks beautiful.

I actually decided to also get the three liquid lipsticks that came with the Siren Sunset collection. They’re in the shades Sailor, Pink Pearl, and Abyss. I’m really excited to try these out.

Last, but most certainly not least, I picked up two Cosmic Brushes/Cosmic Beauty eyeshadow palettes. I’d been wanting the Delicious Delights palette ever since it launched, and now I’ve finally got my hands on it. And their newest palette, the Winter Wonderland palette, is right up my street. Both of these palettes are to be honest, and I can’t wait to play with them.

Lyko haul (November 2023)

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. I’m posting this haul now, because it includes some products from the Catrice Magic Christmas Story collection. Let’s begin with those.

I picked up the following four products from the Catrice Magic Christmas Story collection; the Cheeklighter in C01 Mother Ginger, the eyeshadow palette in The Nutcracker, nail lacquer in C01 Land of Snow, and the Ultra Satin lipstick in C01 Celebration of Dances.

This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I was quite intrigued by this colour story, which is very colourful, and I still get Christmas vibes from this.

I chose the classic red lipstick, because you know me and my love for red lips.

The other three products I bought were all on sale. I picked up another MAC Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick. I’d been wanting the bright pink shade called Amped for a while, and now the price was really good. I also got two products from 3INA, which is a new brand to me. I purchased the 3INA The Color Lip Glow in 244 and the 3INA The No-Rules cream in 371. I’m really excited to try them both.

Colourpop haul (October 2023)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I have an older Colourpop haul that I haven’t posted yet, but I thought I would post this one first since it includes Christmas items. Let’s begin with those.

I purchased the entire Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer set called the Deer To Me set, when the collection re-launched this year. I thought this collection was so cute, when it initially launched a couple of years ago, I think, so I was super excited to see it back now that I’m finally purchasing from Colourpop. Let’s take a closer look at the collection.

You could argue that the main item in the collection is the Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer palette. It’s mostly a neutral palette with a couple of greens and reds, but I find that the neutrals look quite interesting and pretty. However, I went with a green look the first time I wore this palette, and I loved how the look turned out.

I’m having a thing for lip masks these days, so I was really happy that the Deer To Me set included the Clarice Peppermint Overnight Lip Mask and also the Rudolph Peppermint Lippie Scrub. Peppermint is one of my absolute favourite scents (I love the taste too), so I’m excited to try these.

This is the Couple of Misfits Lux lip gloss trio including the shades Hermey, Dolly, and Misfit Elephant. They’re all super pretty, sparkly glosses with a duochrome flip to them. I’m wearing the shade Dolly on top of a lipstick here.

These are the There’s Always Tomorrow Lux lipstick kit and the I Think You’re Cute Lux lipstick kit. Both kits come with a Lippie pencil and a Lux lipstick. So cute!

The last item in the Deer To Me set was these little Reindeer hair clips. Very cute as well.

I also picked up three products from the newest Sailor Moon collection. I’m not very familiar with Sailor Moon, but I really liked the colour story of the palette and the pretty colours of the highlighters.

This is the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon For Love & Justice palette, and isn’t that a pretty colour story?! I’m especially drawn to the last shade in the palette called Starry Sky. It’s a very unique shade of blue.

This is the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Moonlight Glow pressed powder highlighter set. The pink shade is called Moonlight, and the purple shade is called Moon Kingdom.

These are the last two products I purchased this time around. The Super Shock shadow is called Creepin’ and is from the Haunted Mansion collection. I really want the palette from that collection, but it’s still sold out. And then I got another Lux lip oil, because I really like the formula. I chose the shade Bengal, which looks like a pretty redish berry shade.

MAC Bizarre Blizzard holiday 2023 collection

It’s that time of year again. Time for my MAC holiday haul. This year the collection is called Bizzare Blizzard and has this pretty white and silver frosty packaging. Before we get further into the products, I just wanted to let you know that I still have lots of hauls from the end of summer and autumn, but I decided to push those back for a little while, and post my Christmassy hauls as well as Black Friday/Cyber Monday hauls first. Now, let’s get into the MAC holiday products.

I picked up the Frosted Blur face primer in Cool + Clear, which I’m pretty sure is a new product from MAC. It feels like most other blurring primers, so it feels nice on the skin.

I love how many blue eyeshadow palettes (and cool-toned palettes in general) are launching these days. This is the Snowbody’s Business eye shadow palette x12, and it fits the theme of this year’s holiday collection perfectly.

I collect these face compacts from MAC, so even though I have other highlighters similar to this one, I had to get the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Gleamscape.

This year MAC did not include their classic bullet lipsticks in their holiday collection (at least not as singles). Instead they included three limited edition shades of the Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks, which I also like. I picked up two shades; Merry Cherry (bright red) and Cocoa Kisses (warm brown). Both shades look very pretty and are fitting for the season.

Indie make-up haul (Monolith + Purish)

I have an indie make-up haul to share with you today. These are products that I purchased from Monolith and Purish.

Let’s begin with Glamlite. This is my first time trying out Glamlite eyeshadows and I picked up three palettes. I got the Frosted Flakes palette, because the colour story is right up my street. Sadly, the shimmers did crease a bit on me. I’m wearing the palette here.

I also picked up the Glamlite x Scooby-Doo! palettes; The Creeps and Crawls palette and the Ruh Roh Raggy!!! palette. I haven’t used the Creeps and Crawls palette, but I’ve created the most beautiful look with the Ruh Roh Raggy!!! palette, which I have yet to post. I don’t remember that one creasing that much either.

I love Cosmic Brushes eyeshadows, so of course I had to have the Muse palette, which was the brand’s third palette launch. This colour story is so pretty. I’m wearing the palette here.

The rest of the products in this haul are from Lunar Beauty. I’ve already gotten a lot of use out of the Nude Prism Blush palette. I love the variety of shades in this palette.

I’d heard such good things about the Lunar Beauty lip oils, so I purchased two shades; Love Me and Tease Me. They really are lovely. I’m wearing Tease Me here.

Lastly, I got two lip pencils and two lipsticks from Lunar Beauty, and they’re in matching colours. The deep pinky colour is called Stormy, and the bright orangy colour is called Tías. Both shades are so pretty!

Collective haul (June 2023)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It consists of make-up, clothes, shoes, and one accessory. Let’s begin with the make-up for once.

Let’s just begin with the most exciting item in this haul, at least according to me; the Natasha Denona Yucca palette. This colour story is so stunning! I wore it here, and as I wrote in that post, this will probably become one my favourite Natasha Denona palettes.

I still really like Jeffree Star Cosmetics as a brand, and I especially like the eyeshadow palettes and lip products, so I picked up the Cotton Candy Queen palette and the Hydrating Glitz tinted lip balm in Snow Ball Me. I’m wearing the palette here.

I really like the about-face Cheek Freak Blush Balms, so I purchased two more shades. They’re called Laid and Get Some, and they’re both super pretty.

The last make-up product in this haul is the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER color corrector in Pink Pomelo. I haven’t used it enough times to really know how I feel about it yet.

Let’s move on to clothes. I’m a 90’s child, so I felt very nostalgic when I saw this Spice Girls T-shirt at Asos. It’s from Asos Design, and I got it 20% off.

The next five items I got in a Monki sale. I love a good button up dress, and I loved the colours and print on this one.

This is just a white T-shirt with a pretty flower print, but I like it a lot, and I’ve worn it quite a few times.

I love Monki shoes and picked up three pairs in the sale. I’ve worn and posted outfits with all three pairs this past summer.

Last pair of shoes are these glittery classic platform Crocs, which I got 70% off (yes, you read that correctly) at Zalando. Both of my sisters bought them as well, so we have sister shoes:)

I don’t buy or wear a lot of scarves these days, but I loved the colours and the Mickey Mouse print of this one from Even&Odd, which I also picked up in a Zalando sale. And that’s the end of this haul.

Colourpop haul including 30% off sitewide

I have a collective Colourpop haul to share with you today. Some of these products I got 30% off, when Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide deal back in May. But let’s begin with the products I didn’t get in the sale.

I picked up these three mega palettes. I’d been wanting the Aurora Struck palette for a while, so I picked it up, when it was finally back in stock. I’m wearing it here. I also got the It’s A Mood palette and the Matte About Hue palette. I haven’t worn the It’s A Mood palette yet, but I think the colour story is very autumnal, so I should wear it soon. I usually don’t love all matte palettes, but I really like the shades in the Matte About Hue palette.

Two 12-pan palettes I purchased are the Wild Nothing palette (which I’m wearing here) and the Pretty Please palette. Both have more muted, neutral colour stories, which is usually not my thing, but I actually think both of these are really pretty.

These are two lip products I didn’t get in the sale. It’s the Blotted Lip in Talker and the Lux lip oil in Lights Szn. I haven’t worn any of these yet.

When the Winnie The Pooh collection came back in stock, I purchased the Sweet As Can Be palette. I also wanted the lip mask set, but it sold out very quickly.

The last products that I didn’t buy in the 30% off sitewide sale was this set including the Smokin’ Hot palette and five BFF Crème gel liners in Brew Haha, Sunnyvale, Overboard, Get Lucid, and Honeydude.

The rest of the products in this haul were 30% off. The Heavy Petal palette has quite a unique colour story, and I quite like it.

I love the BFF Crème gel liners, so I got one more shade, and it’s called Outer Space. I also got the Freckle Pen in Soft Brown.

I purchased a lot of Super Shock shadows. These two I just purchased separately. They’re in the shades Ice Dream and Frog.

This is the Electric Shock Super Shock shadow set, and it comes with Tassel, I Heart This, Prickly Pear, and Bae.

The last Super Shock shadows I picked up were the Shock It To Me Super Shock shadow vault including Mountain Lion, 3rd Street, 2014, The Griffith, Low 70s, Life Coach, Aster, Kombucha, Green Juice, 405, Born In LA, and Adaptogen.

I also love the Super Shock blushes and bought the following three shades; Doozie, Count Me In, and Pie.

The last lip products I got were the The Legend of Korra Fresh Kiss lip créme in Partner In Crime, the Glowing Lip in Red Hot, and two Lux lip oils in Pink Circuit and Hot Spark. I really liked the lip oils.

The very last product I picked up was the Sol body cream in Vanilla Dream. I love everything vanilla scented.

Beauty Bay haul (May 2023)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. These are products I purchased back in May of this year.

I picked up three liquid eyeshadows. I got two more of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Star Shadows. They’re in the shades Pink Tablet and Manifest, and they were both on sale. I also decided to pick up the about-face Fractal Glitter Eye Paint in Smolder to try out the formula.

Here’s a little mix of different products I bought. I got the MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Radiant bronzer in Radiant Light Rosy, and I like this one just as much as the matte version. I also got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty bronzer in Summer Fridays, which I also like a lot. From e.l.f. Cosmetics I also picked up the Camo colour corrector in Yellow, and from Revolution Pro I bought the Hydra Bright cream blush in Peach.

Let’s end this haul with lip products. I got five shades of the e.l.f. Cosmetics O Face satin lipsticks, and I really like the packaging, colour selection, and formula. I chose the shades (from left to right): All Night, Me, Myself and I, Loud AF, Effortless, and Pleased.

Lastly, I purchased two more shades of the about-face Cherry Pick lip color butters. They’re called Cherry Good and Watermelon Take.

Sephora haul (May 2023)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. It includes a good mix of products, so let’s get started.

Before this haul, I think I owned one Pat McGrath Labs palette, but now I own three:) I’d been wanting to try one of her big holiday palettes, and the MTHRSHP MEGA: Celestial Nirvana eyeshadow palette from last holiday season finally became available on Sephora Scandinavia, so I picked it up right away. I love the mix of neutrals and colourful shades, and I did this colourful look with it.

This is another Pat McGrath Labs palette that has been on my wishlist for a while. It’s the Mothership VI Midnight Sun palette, and it was 20% off, but then I got an extra 20% off, so it was definitely a sign for me to pick it up. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The packaging on this Fenty Beauty summer collection is so stunning to me. I think the Fenty Icon lipstick formula is really nice, so I picked up the shade Nosy Rosy together with the Fenty Icon Summatime Edition lipstick case. And I love the Poutsicle hydrating lip stains, so I had to get one of the new shades. I went with Fuchsia Wife. The only product I hadn’t tried before was the Match Stix color adaptive cheek and it’s in the shade Strawberry Pop. It’s really pretty too.

Here’s a mix of different products I also picked up. I love the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch tinted lip oils and picked up another shade (Happy). From Rare Beauty I also (finally) got my hands on the Positive Light under eye brightener in Light. From R.E.M. Beauty I bought the On Your Collar liquid lipstick in Doll Face, because I thought it looked pretty. And lastly, I purchased the Benefit Hoola & WANDERful World face palette in Hoola Secret Oasis, which includes Hoola Light and Willa; two Benefit cheek shades I didn’t own already.

The last two products I bought (I also got a gift with purchase) are these two scents. I’ve said it before, but I love KAYALI perfumes, and the Yum Pistachio Gelato|33 Eau de Parfum really is yummy. I also decided to get the Solinotes Vanille Eau de Parfum, because I love vanilla scents. It was on sale too.

My gift with purchase included these 9 skincare and make-up products. I love trying out new products this way.

Collective beauty haul (May 2023)

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. It’s going to be a mix of drugstore, high end, and Indie products.

Let’s kick things off with some products I purchased from Lookfantastic. I picked up the viral L’Oréal Telescopic Lift mascara, which I don’t like and have already decluttered. It transferred a lot me. I love the Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow in Space Cowboy though, which is a product I’d been wanting to try for a long time. I also bought the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in the shade RN1, which is sadly a little light on me, but the formula is lovely. The last two products, I got from Lookfantastic, are two Laura Mercier products; the Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur In Translucent, which is now my favourite loose powder in my collection, and the High Vibe lip colour in 142 Pop, which I actually haven’t worn yet.

I’d heard great things about the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge blushes, so I picked up two shades on sale, Pale Pink and Fresh Melon, and they’re really pretty.

From Kiko Milano I got the following three products; the Glow Up face & body highlighter in Champagne (I’m not quite sure how I feel about it yet), the Radiant Fusion baked powder in 01 (I’m liking this one so far), and the Juicy Tint Lips Cheeks liquid colour in Versatile Red (I didn’t like this product, so I decluttered it).

I haven’t tried the Rimmel Kind & Free lip balms yet, but I’m excited to do so maybe soon. I chose the shades 001 Air Storm and 006 Berry Twist.

Here are three foundations that I already knew I really liked. I got a full size of the Missha M Perfect Cover B.B Cream Spf42 in 21 Light Beige, a lighter shade of the Clinique Even better Clinical serum foundation SPF 20 (the shade is WN 01 Flax and it’s a really nice match for me), and a slightly darker shade of the MAC Studio Radiance Face And Body Radiant Sheer foundation (it’s in the shade N1). All three foundation were on sale.

Let’s move on to some Indie make-up. I made an order from GlossGods Cosmetics, which is a Swedish Indie brand that I really enjoy. I got the New Neutrals remixed palette, because I wanted to see if they make as great neutral eyeshadows as they do colourful eyeshadows.

Then I also purchased this big set including the What’s Your Power? remixed eyeshadow palette, four of the split-pan Power Liners (they’re in the shades Unapologetic & Passionate, Ambitious & Courageous, Proud & Happy, and Powerful & Valuable), a That Base! Crease Killer eyeshadow base, and their sharp eyeliner brush. I’ve tried everything apart from one of the Power Liners, and I’ve enjoyed it all.

And last, but not least, I picked up the two newest at the time eyeshadow palettes from Oden’s Eye, which is another Swedish Indie brand and one of my favourite Indie brands. These are the Jewels & Gem palette and the Stone & Rock palette. They’re slightly more neutral than most other Oden’s Eye palettes, but they’re still super pretty.
