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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
