Collective haul (September 2023)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It mostly consists of make-up, but there’s also one clothing item and one piece of jewellery in the mix.

I love a good roll neck top and this one from Monki is just so cute and a perfect layering piece.

This “bolo tie” necklace is from Reclaimed Vintage. I got it 20% off from Asos, and I thought it was cute.

Let’s move on to make-up, and let’s begin with this little mix of products. I picked up a lighter shade in the Nars Light Reflecting foundation. It’s in the shade Oslo, and it might actually be a little light on me, so when I wear this foundation I mix it with the other shade I own, Mont Blanc. The other foundation I purchased is the KVD Beauty Good Apple Skin-Perfecting foundation balm in Light 006. I’ve been wanting to try this foundation ever since it launched, and this shade Light 006 is a great match. I really enjoy this foundation. I think I might have had the Catrice True Skin High Cover concealer in my collection before, but decided to try it out again. I got the shade 002 Neutral Ivory, and I think I like it. I mainly picked up the Lottie London Bubble Tea primer for the gimic. And I know I like the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks, so I got another shade. It’s called Rebel Red, and it looks very pretty.

I don’t wear a lot of neutral eyeshadows, but I love the Natasha Denona eyeshadow formulas, so I caved and bought the I Need A Nude palette. For a neutral palette this is very pretty. I’m wearing it here.

Last, but most certainly not least, I obviously had to have the Oden’s Eye x Angelica Helaween collab palettes. I love Oden’s Eye eyeshadows and Angelica Nyqvist is one of my favourite content creators, and she’s all about colourful eyeshadow, so these palettes are right up my street. The first palette is called Little Ghost and the second one is called Trick Or Treat. I’m wearing Little Ghost on it’s own here and both palettes in combination with each other here.

Sephora haul (August/September 2023)

I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. I picked up these products in August and September.

I bought two concealers; a back-up of my favourite, the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in the shade 1.3G Marshmellow, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in the shade N2. I already have the Hy-Glam concealer in another shade, but it’s too light, but sadly this shade is too dark, so at the moment I mix the two.

From Natasha Denona I also picked up two of the Macro Tech eye crayons. These are in the shades Fushi and Camu Camu, and they’re super pretty colours.

I finally got to try out Makeup By Mario, when the brand launched at Sephora. I was most interested on trying out the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer and the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums.

I bought the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in Light, and I love it. This is such a beautiful cream bronzer.

I decided to get two shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Rose Glow and Plum Glow. These are very pretty on the lips.

Collective haul (August 2023)

I have my collective haul from August to share with you today. This haul mainly consists of make-up products.

Let’s begin with the two items that are not make-up. First off, I picked up these dark green cargo trousers from H&M in a sale. I’ve worn them a lot; especially throughout December.

I got this beautiful Guess watch for my 30th birthday in August. I’ve worn it most days since.

Here’s a little mix of products I picked up from the Danish drugstore, Matas. I got a 20% discount as a birthday present, so I decided to buy the bareMinerals Gen Nude Blonzer in Kiss of Mauve, the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blush in Rose Glow, and the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinstick in Soft Amber. These are all very nice products.

I purchased the Clinique Even Better All Over concealer + eraser in WN 01 Flax and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze applicator in a sale.

The last products in this haul are indie products purchased from Monolith. I’ve been wanting to try the Ace Beauté Paletteopoly palette and game ever since it launched, so I was so excited to get my hands on it. I actually played the game and did my make-up based on it just last week. It’s a really fun concept. The palette is stunning whether you play the game or not though.

I also picked up the Unearthly Cosmetics Summer 23 larger mystery box. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a highlighter duo, a satin liquid lipstick, and two lipglosses. The packaging is so cute.

This is the Get Groovy palette, and what a fun colour story. I love a colourful eyeshadow palette, and the Unearthly Cosmetics eyeshadow formulas are great. I’m wearing the eyeshadow palette, the highlighter duo, and one of the lipglosses here.

The Get Groovy highlighter duo is more of a highlighter/blush duo on my fair skin. These shades are super sparkly and fun.

The liquid lipstick is called Gnarly, and it’s a beautiful burnt orange shade. I’m wearing it here. The orange lipgloss is called Psych and the purple lipgloss is called Spaz. Both shades are super pretty and shimmery.

Monolith palette haul (July 2023)

I have an indie palette haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these palette of the Monolith website. As far as I remember I made two separate orders and decided to put them into one haul.

I purchased three Blend Bunny Cosmetics palettes. This is the Surge palette, and I really like the colour story and tones in this palette. The buttom row of neons is so fun. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The Lure palette was the palette I was the most excited to try from Blend Bunny Cosmetics. This mermaid colour story is just so stunning. I wore a purple look with the palette here.

And the last Blend Bunny Cosmetics palette I picked up was the Sugar & Grunge palette. Another beautiful colour story.

I got two palettes from Unearthly Cosmetics, and they were also my first palettes from this brand (I’ve purchased more since). This is the Dead of Night palette and I got it on sale. I love this colour story as well. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I love the Strawberry Milkshake palette from Unearthly Cosmetics, and I also got this one on sale. Red, pink, and green is such a beautiful colour combo. I wore this palette on my birthday last year.

I just couldn’t skip on this colour story either. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bad Witch Club palette. I also got this palette on sale, and I’m not sure if it is available anymore. I just posted a make-up look with this palette yesterday.

The last palette, I got, is the Sugar Drizzle The Mattes Rainbow Purple palette, and this one was also on sale. I think Sugar Drizzle is mainly known for their all shimmer palettes, but since purple is my favourite colour, I thought this palette would be a great companion palette for all the beautiful shimmer shades I have in my collection.

Colourpop haul – 30% off sitewide (July 2023)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I made this order back in July when Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale.

I picked up two eyeshadow palettes. The first one is the Enchanted palette, which is a super pretty purple palette. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

I love red and pink eyeshadow together, so the colour story in the Flirty Talk palette is so beautiful to me. The quality of this palette is great too. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The collection that came with the Flirty Talk palette also included the cute heart-shaped pressed powder blushes. These are the shades Hot 2 Touch and Cupid’s Bow, and they’re both super fun and pretty.

I really enjoy the Lite Stix highlighters from Colourpop, so when the launched (or re-launched) the Bronze Stix, Blush Stix, and the Lite Stix, I purchased the Sun Plz cheek set, which came with the Bronze Stix in Laguna Beach, the Blush Stix in Mini Me, and the Lite Stix in Glazey.

Lastly, I got two more shades of the Lippie pencils. I got an orange called Absolute Zero, and a fuchsia shade in I Heart This.

H&M + Zalando Cyber Monday haul 2023

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrated Christmas today. In Denmark, we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, and I had a lovely day and evening yesterday. Today, I have a H&M and Zalando Cyber Monday haul to share with you.

I picked up two blazers from H&M; an olive green one and a zebra print one. I love blazers, and I’m always up for adding new ones to my wardrobe.

Another style of clothing that I have a lot of in my wardrobe are fitted roll neck tops, and I thought this white and black leopard print one would be a great layering piece.

You know how much I love Disney and Mickey Mouse, so I just had to have this bag.

I purchased two pairs of shoes in the H&M Cyber Monday sale. The khaki green platform loafers had been on my wishlist for a while, and they’re even nicer in real life. And the black boots were an impulse buy, but they’re just so pretty.

The only items I bought from Zalando were these red holiday sweater classic Crocs and a Tis The Season 5 pack Jibbitz. I already had a 5 pack of some other Christmas Jibbitz, so I added both packs to these super Christmassy Crocs.

Collective Black Friday haul 2023

I’m going to share my 2023 collective Black Friday haul with you today. It consists of one piece of clothing, three pairs of shoes, one hair accessory, and a bunch of beauty items.

The only piece of clothing that I purchased (and kept) is this stunning, purple blazer from the brand Crãs. It’s a Danish brand and they create really beautiful, colourful pieces. I can’t wait to style and wear this blazer!

It’s been a while since I last purchased a pair of Nike Cortez sneakers. They’re one of my favourite styles when it comes to sneakers, and I really liked this more neutral version with brown details.

I love Monki shoes, and I’ve had my eye on these orange boots for a while, so I had to get them in a Black Friday sale.

My Crocs obsession might be getting a bit out of hand, but I just had to have these Siren Chain Crocs in the dark cherry colour. I wore them here, and I think they’re so fun!

You know I love a head band, and this multi-coloured pearl one from Pieces really spoke to me.

The only skincare product I purchased was the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72-Hour Lipid-Replenishing Hydrating face cream, which I got 50% off.

I picked up these three make-up products in the Zalando Black Friday sale.

This is the NYX Ultimate Flamingo Frost shadow palette, and I think it’s a fun take on a Christmas palette. The quality of the shadows was quite nice as well.

This is the Kiko Milano Glow Fusion Intense powder highlighter in 01 Champagne and the 3INA The Color lip glow in 371. Both products look very pretty.

I bought two more products from this year’s holiday collection from MAC. I got the Fizzy Feels lip balm in Shiver Shimmy and the Sparkler eyeshadow in Jingle Tingle.

I got these free gifts with my MAC order.

Lastly, I made an order from Monolith during their Black Friday sale. Monolith is a great place to purchase indie make-up if you live in Europe. The first palette I picked up was the Bellabeautébar Smokey Glam palette. I’ve heard such great things about this brand, so I’m really excited to try out this palette.

Another brand I’ve been wanting to try is Fantasy Cosmetica, so I picked up their Warlock palette. I just love this unique colour story.

Lastly, I purchased the Unearthly Cosmetics Devour Halloween collection, which I’ve been wanting ever since it launched. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a blush-highlighter duo, two lipglosses, three satin liquid lipsticks, and a lip oil.

This is the stunning colour story of the Devour palette. This is the perfect autumn/winter colour story. I even think that I could create a Christmas look with this palette.

How fun and pretty are the shades in the Devour blush-highlighter duo!

These are the two lipglosses and the lip oil. The shades are (from left to right) Havoc, Predator, and Ruin. So pretty!

And these are the three satin liquid lipsticks. The shades are (from left to right) Destroy, Yummy, and Chomp. I can’t wait to wear these.

Sephora Black Friday haul 2023

I have my Sephora Black Friday haul to share with you today. It mainly consists of palettes and foundations. Let’s begin with palettes.

I didn’t want to buy the Natasha Denona Xenon palette full price, so I waited for the Sephora Black Friday sale to pick it up. It’s not going to become my favourite or most used palette from Natasha Denona, but I did really enjoy this look that I created with it.

I picked up three products from the Pat McGrath Labs 2023 holiday collection; the Mthrshp Bijoux Brilliance: Starstruck Splendour blush and eye shadow palette, the Bijoux Brilliance eye shadow palette: Lunar Nightshade, and the Divine Blush + Bronze + Glow Trio: Fleurever Nude.

This is what the Mthrshp Bijoux Brilliance: Starstruck Splendour blush and eye shadow palette looks like. I’ve used four of the eyeshadows and one of the blush shades so far, and I really liked them.

This is what the Bijoux Brilliance eye shadow palette: Lunar Nightshade looks like. I really like this colour story with the purples and blues.

And this is what the Divine Blush + Bronze + Glow Trio: Fleurever Nude looks like. I haven’t tried the bronzer formula before neither have I tried this particular highlighter formula before, so I’m excited to wear all three shades together.

I also got a mini of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blush in Hope. So cute!

It’s not often that I buy three foundations at once, but in this sale I did. I purchased a lighter shade (1N00) of the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Undetectable stay-true foundation, because the shade I already had was too dark on me. I’m really excited to try the R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener foundation. I picked up the shade Fair 2n. And the last foundation I purchased was the Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer in 14W. I love a skin tint, and I’ve been wanting to try this one for quite a while.

The very last product I bought in the Sephora Black Friday sale was the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Peppermint. I love sleeping masks and peppermint is one of my favourite scents, so I really excited to try this one out.

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.
