Catrice and Essence Disney Villains collections

Catrice and Essence have made another Disney collab, and this time the theme is Disney Villains. I picked up a lot of stuff from both Catrice and Essence, and I think this might be my favourite Disney collab the two brands have done so far.

Let’s begin with Catrice. Both the Catrice and the Essence collections contain three eyeshadow palettes, and I got all six. The three villains in the Catrice collection are Maleficent, Cruella, and the Queen of Hearts.

The Maleficent palette is called 010 I Run This Castle. It has a cool-toned purple colour story, but the shades are very light, and I’m the least impressed by this palette so far.

The Cruella palette is called 020 Fashion Above All, and it’s a black and grey palette with a pop of red. This is my favourite palette so far; the quality is very nice.

The Queen of Hearts palette is called 030 All Ways Are My Ways, and it’s a warm neutral palette with a few yellows and berries. This palette was quite nice as well on first try.

The collection came with two highlighter palettes, and I picked up one of them. I got the Cruella one called 020 Walk Like You Mean It Darling.

These are probably my favourite products from both collections. They’re the Catrice Disney Villains Maleficent liquid highlighter in 010 Magic and the Catrice Disney Villains Cruella liquid highlighter in 020 Divine. Do you see the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand resemblance?

I also picked up the Maleficent face primer and the Cruella hydrating fixing spray. I’ve used the primer a couple of times, but I’m not blown away by it. I haven’t tried the fixing spray yet.

The Catrice collection also included two lipsticks; the Maleficent Satin Collagen lipstick in 010 Elegancy and the Cruella Satin Collagen lipstick in 020 Iconic. I love the packaging and the embossings on the actual product.

The last product I got from the Catrice collection was the Maleficent nail polish in 010 Thorns, which is a super pretty iridescent purple shade.

Let’s move on to the Essence products. The three villains in the Essence collection are the Evil Queen, Ursula, and Scar.

The Evil Queen palette is called 01 Magic Mirror, and it’s a nice warm neutral palette with some purples mixed in.

The Ursula palette is called 02 So Long Lover Boy, and it’s a pretty purple palette. This purple colour scheme is a lot nicer than the one in the Maleficent palette.

The Scar palette is called 03 My Territory, and it a neutral palette with some pops of green. I haven’t worn this palette on my eyes yet.

Essence definitely also got some inspiration from Charlotte Tilbury, when they created the Evil Queen Maxi Blush in 01 Love At First Bite and the Ursula Maxi Blush in 02 Leaving U Speechless. However, I really enjoyed both of these. I used the Ursula one as bronzer and highlighter.

This is the Evil Queen ELECTRIC GLOW colour changing lipstick in 01 Obsession. I haven’t tried it on yet, but the packaging is cute.

These Disney collections usually has face serums, and this one is no exception. The Evil Queen one is called 01 Beauty, and the Ursula one is called 02 Promises.

I love a nice hand cream, so I had to try the Evil Queen one.

Lastly, I picked up the Make-up Tools & Bag Set from the Essence collection. It comes with a make-up bag, six brushes, and three reusable make-up remover pads. I’ve already travelled with the make-up bag, and it’s the perfect size to bring on a weekend trip.

Collective sale make-up haul (October)

I have a collective sale make-up haul to share with you today. This haul includes a bunch of products I’ve been wanting to try plus some other random stuff.

I thought about picking up the Huda Beauty Lovefest collection for quite a while before I finally decided to do so. The Lovefest Obsessions palette is so pretty; I really like the orange and purple colour story.

From the Huda Beauty Lovefest collection I also picked up the Tear & Shade lip quad which comes with two Silk Balms and two Liquid Matte liquid lipsticks. Two of them are in orange shades, and the other two are deeper burgundy shades.

I got a few more shades of the Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks, because I really like the formula. These are in the shades 35 Cheeky and 10 Lippy.

Now let’s move on to a mix of random products.

Recently, I’ve heard people talk about Clarins lip oils, so I decided to get two different versions; the Instant Comfort lip oil in 09 Chocolate and the Lip Oil Shimmer in 08 Burgundy Wine.

This Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Lipstick in 22 Ironic Burgundy was very heavily discounted, so I thought I would try it out.

I love the NYX Ultimate Glow Shots liquid eyeshadows, so I bought another shade and it’s called 03 Come Thru Coconut.

This is my first ever Kylie Cosmetics product. It’s the Lip & Cheek Glow Balm in Pink Me Up, and it’s very pretty.

I love duochrome eyeshadows, so I purchased another Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes. It’s in the shade Strobe Light. I also picked up the Layla Cosmetics Rarity Trichrome liquid eyeshadow in 04 Tanzanite.

Lastly, I bought the MAC Kiss It Twice Powder Kiss Liquid Duo: Pink, which comes with the two shades Billion $ Smile and A Little Tamed. I love this lipstick formula.

e.l.f. Cosmetics haul

I have a small e.l.f. Cosmetics haul to share with you today. e.l.f. Cosmetics has come out with lots of great products lately, and I’m really impressed by the stuff in this haul.

I like the e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow sticks, but I like these No Budge matte shadow sticks even more. These are in the shades Vintage Suede, Lava Lamp, and Bombshell.

Another great cream shadow product from e.l.f. Cosmetics is the No Budge cream eyeshadows. I picked up the shades Golden Rays and Wildflower, and they’re so pretty.

I love the original Putty blushes, and I’ve been wanting to try the Luminous Putty blushes for so long. These are the shades Belize and Isla Del Sol. I’ve only worn Belize so far, but it was really pretty on the skin.

The last product I picked up is the Holy Hydration! face cream in the fragrance free version. I’ve heard good things about this face cream, and I’m excited to try it.

Cocopanda 10 year birthday haul – 20% off

I have a Cocopanda haul to share with you today. I made this order when they had their 10 year birthday sale, where a lot of products were 20% off.

Let’s begin with skin care and base make-up. I picked up the Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Pore Minimizing Serum, a back-up of the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum in the shade 0,5-2 Very Light, which is one of my favourite foundations, and I also picked up a back-up of the Clinique All About Eyes, which is my go-to eye cream.

I had to get some more of the NYX Ultimate Glow Shots liquid eyeshadows. I purchased the shades 06 Golden Goji, 11 Clementine Fine, and 2 Raspberry Rave.

For lips I purchased the Essence Holo Bomb Shiny lipgloss in 01 Iced Gloss, the NYX This Is Milky Gloss in Cherry Milk Shake, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Lipstick in Butterscotch.

I also picked up the MAC Kiss It Twice Powder Kiss Liquid Duo: Best Sellers. It comes with the two shades Mull It Over and Fashion, Sweetie. I love this liquid lipstick formula.

Sephora haul (September)

I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. As far as I remember I made two Sephora orders in September, and I thought I would put them together in this one haul, so let’s get into it.

I had to get the newest Natasha Denona palette; the My Dream palette. I love that it has a mix of neutrals and berries, and I love the duochrome shade called Vision.

I also purchased the Natasha Denona My Dream Cheek Trio, and it’s such a pretty and wearable little cheek palette that goes with most make-up looks.

I also got some lip products and another eyeshadow palette.

I’d heard a couple of beauty youtubers that I follow talk about the Tarte Tartelette Jewel Amazonian Clay palette, and I thought it looked like a very nice mini palette perfect for travelling or for just doing a quick and easy neutral look.

I picked up another Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lipstick and lip liner. The lipstick is in the shade Strong and the lip liner is in the shade Bold. I really want the Bold lipstick as well, but it’s always sold out.

I found this Pat McGrath Labs Lip Fetish Divinyl lip shine 40% off and thought I would give it a try. It’s in the shade Electric Lotus, and it’s super pretty on the lips.

With my second order I got this Make Up My Story Box as a free gift with purchase. It contains 8 minis and 1 full size product the full size product being the Sephora Collection Cream lip stain in 01 Always Red. It also included a NARS Velvet Matte lip pencil in Cruella, a Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow, a Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, a Nudestix Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm in Posh, a Natasha Denona eyeshadow in Outer Eye Lid (from the Glam palette), a Make Up For Ever Aquaresist Graphic Pen in 1 Black, a Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes mascara, and an Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel.

Collective haul (September 2022)

It’s time for a collective haul from last month. This haul is a bit of a mix of everything.

I love a roll neck top, so I had to pick up a couple of bump friendly ones. The blue one is from Pieces Maternity, and the purple one is from Vero Moda Maternity. I prefer the fit and look of the blue one, but I love the colours of both.

I’m impatiently waiting for my baby to arrive, and when it does, I really hope that I’ll be able to breastfeed it. So I need some nursing friendly clothes and picked up this two pack of nursing tops from Anna Field MAMA. They’re not my usually style of top, but I have to dress a little more practical, when the baby comes.

These navy joggers are also from Anna Field MAMA, and they’re so comfortable. They’re ready and packed in my hospital bag.

This pair of stretchy navy flared leggings from H&M MAMA has been a favourite of mine lately. They’re super comfy as well.

The last maternity clothes I’ve bought is a two pack of black tights from H&M MAMA. They became kind of necessary when the weather got colder.

I purchased these pink, fluffy slippers from Monki purely to add to my hospital bag, so I would have something cosy to wear on my feet. And that’s enough maternity and hospital talk for now. Let’s move on to make-up.

I haven’t really heard anything about the Maybelline Green Edition Balmy Lip Blush lipsticks, but I was still interested in trying them. I picked up the shades Bonfire and Dusk, a red and a rosy pink, but because I’ve purchased so many new lip products recently, I haven’t gotten around to wearing them yet.

And speaking of lip products, I picked up these two from MAC. I love the packaging of the new MAC Maker lipsticks, so I purchased the @MANUELEMAMELI one, which is a very pretty matte nude shade. I also picked up the yellow lipglass from the MAC X Stranger Things collection. It’s called Marvelous Max, and I thought it would be great to make a lip colour warmer.

I got this Prepped & Ready Lip Prep Kit as a free gift with purchase. It includes a Lipglass Clear, a Lip Scrubtious in Sweet Vanilla, and a Prep + Prime Lip. I didn’t own the Lipglass Clear, but I know a lot of people love it. I have another scent of the Lip Scrubtious, so I know I love that product, and I love everything vanilla scented. And I use Prep + Prime Lip everytime I do my make-up, so it’s nice to have another back-up.

Lastly, and a bit randomly, I got the Glisten Cosmetics Chroma Flakes in Nebula. It’s a stunning iridescent purple glitter, and as you know, I’m really into these kinds of products these days.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Star Wedding collection

We don’t see a lot of make-up collections from Jeffree Star Cosmetics these days, so when he launched his Star Wedding collection I was intrigued, even though it’s a very neutral collection colourwise.

I had to get the Star Wedding palette. Mine sadly came broken; the shade Cut The Cake (the second shade in the first row) was shattered, and it was all over the palette, but I managed to save at lot of the shade and sort of clean up the palette. Even though this is a neutrals heavy palette, I really like the different tones of neutrals mixed with pops of berry and grey. I created this berry look and this neutral look with this palette.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics also launched a brand new product with this collection; the Liquid Star Shadows. I picked up two shades; Toss My Bouquet and Behind The Veil. Toss My Bouquet is a matte dusty rose shade and Behind The Veil is described as a glittery white with iridescent/multi coloured pearl. I’m wearing both of these on my eyes today, and they were very easy to work with. The glittery shade pulls quite green though, but it’s very pretty and reflective.

I hadn’t gotten a new shade of the Velour liquid lipsticks in what seems like forever, so I picked up one of the shades from this collection. It’s called Down The Aisle and it’s described as a rust brown nude.

The last product I picked up from the collection was the Wedding Proof Makeup Setting Spray. I haven’t tried it yet, because I’m trying to use up the setting sprays I’ve got open right now, but I love trying out new setting sprays.

Feelunique 20% off haul (birthday code)

For my birthday in August, I got a 20% off birthday code from Feelunique, so I decided to take advantage of that and pick up a couple of products, I’d been wanting to try.

I picked up three powders. A bit excessive, I know, but I just love powders. I purchased the Sigma Beauty Soft Focus setting powder in Vanilla Bean, the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Prime & Stay finishing powder in Fair/Light. So far my favourite is definitely the Laura Mercier powder: it’s been one of my go-to undereye setting powders lately.

I’ve been wanting to try the Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator for so long, so I finally picked it up. I got the shade 20 Fair Neutral, which is a really nice shade on me, and so far I like this product. In my most recent 5 favourites post, I featured the Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium, so I obviously love that product. Another product I’ve also been enjoying is the NARS Bronzing Cream in LAGUNA 1; it’s such a nice cream bronzer. And the last item I decided to get was the Wishful Yo Glow Gingerbread Latte Enzyme Scrub. I’d been wanting to get it since last Christmas, and I’m really excited to finally give it try.

Sephora haul (August)

It’s been a while since I last made a Sephora order, but there was a few products I wanted to try, and then I also picked up a few outlet items.

The main reason why I made this order was because I wanted to try out some more Rare Beauty products. More specifically, I wanted to try the Warm Wishes Effortless bronzer and the new Kind Words matte lipstick and lip liner. I also got a free sample of the Always An Optimist pore diffusing primer.

The Warm Wishes Effortless bronzer is apparently very popular and it had been out of stock for a while, so when it was back in stock, I picked it up in the shade Power Boost, which is the lightest shade. So far I really do like this bronzer. The stick is very easy to use, and it blends out beautifully.

I love that the Kind Words matte lipsticks and lip liners come in matching shades. I picked up both in the shade Talented, which is such a pretty brown nude. I’m wearing both here. I like the packaging too.

The last three products I purchased was from the outlet section. I picked up the Natasha Denona I Need A Nude lipstick in 10NB Andrea, which is a very pretty nude shade. I also picked up the Fenty Beauty Slip Shine sheer shiny lipstick in Vamps Who Brunch, which is a fun deep shimmery purple. An lastly, I got the Too Faced Killer Liner gel eyeliner in Killer Turquoise, because I wanted to try out the formula, and I do really like it.

Asos haul (20% or 25% off everything)

This is an Asos haul from August. I got everything either 20% off or 25% off. It’s a mix of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories, and make-up.

I only have two clothing pieces to show you, and you’ve already seen me wear them in outfit posts. Both of these beautiful dresses are from COLLUSION.

I also purchased two pairs of shoes both from Asos Design. I’m really excited about the floral loafers; I think they’re so cute and perfect for autumn. The mule wedges are more summery, but I just loved the colours.

Let’s move on to accessories. I love a bucket hat, however I haven’t really worn them this past summer. I still thought this multicoloured one from Asos Design was cute. The sunglasses are also from Asos Design and so are three out of the four pairs of earrings as well. The last pair of earrings are from Vintage Supply. I just love fun sunglasses and earrings.

And now on to make-up. I haven’t heard or seen anything about the Rimmel Lasting Finish compact foundation, but I thought I would give it a try. I picked mine up in the shade 01 Fair Porcelain, and so far I really like this product. I also decided to get the I Heart Revolution x Disney Fairytale Jelly Eye Shimmer in Pua (from Moana) to try another formula of eyeshadow, however, I haven’t worn it on my eyes yet.

These last make-up products are probably the most interesting to me. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m really excited to try the MAC Fix+ Stay Over setting spray. I picked up the mini size. I’ve also been wanting to try the new MAC Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks and picked up the shade Devoted To Danger. I’m wearing it in my next make-up post, and I loved it. In my 5 favourites post that I posted yesterday, I featured the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer, so you now how much I enjoy that product. And lastly, I picked up a couple more shades of the e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow sticks. They’re called Rich Amethyst and Copper Chic.
