It’s time for a collective Beauty Bay haul. As far as I remember, I made two different orders from Beauty Bay in July, and I thought I could put them together in one big haul.

I purchased three palettes from By BEAUTY BAY; the Loves Notes palette, the New Mood palette, and the TECHNIDAZE palette.

The Love Notes palette was this year’s Valentine’s Day release from By BEAUTY BAY, and I didn’t purchase it when it released, because I already have a lot of purple, pink, and neutral eyeshadows in my collection. However, when I saw that it was on sale at a very affordable price, I decided to get it anyways, because I love the By BEAUTY BAY eyeshadow formulas.

On the other hand, I was sure I wanted the New Mood palette as soon as I saw it. This colour story is interesting with it’s mix of colours and neutrals, and some of the metallics are duochromes, and they’re stunning. Even though I haven’t used all the shades yet, I already know that my favourite shade is Inspired, which is the most beautiful blue-purple duochrome.

This is the first 8 pan palette, I’ve purchased from By BEAUTY BAY, but I just love bright colourful eyeshadows so much, and these shades are so pretty. I used this palette for my most recent make-up look.

I also picked up some more products from the By BEAUTY BAY Disney Colour and BEAUTY BAY collab. I accidentally broke the handle on my Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand held mirror, so I needed a new one and decided to pick up the Alice In Wonderland one from this collab. I also picked up the Shadow Stick Vault, which contains all six shades of the Shadow Sticks, and as you can see, they’re all pretty, colourful shades.

Lastly from By BEAUTY BAY I received this Super Plump lip gloss as a free gift with purchase. It’s in the shade Fizz.

Now on to a few more eye products. As I mentioned in a recent make-up post, I’m really into creams and liquids and all kinds of different types of eyeshadows these days, so I picked up the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Eye Gloss Powder in Voodoo Glass, the Danessa Myricks Beauty Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment in Passion, and I also decided to try the Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Pencil in Jade.

The Jeffree Star Cosmetics Eye Gloss Powder is a beautiful sheer gold with a green shift. The Danessa Myricks Beauty Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment is a pastel pink and lime green duochrome liquid eyeshadow (I’m wearing it here), and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Pencil is described as a seafoam green and periwinkle duochrome. I guess, I’m into products that shift green:)

I also picked up a couple of blushers. I got the Physicians Formula Matte Monoi Butter blush in Mauvy Mattes and the Melt Cosmetics Digital Dust Duo blush in Buzz Kill. Both of these products are very aesthetically pleasing, but one is matte and the other is glowy. I’m especially excited about the Melt Cosmetics blush, because I’ve been wanting to try it for so long.

I puchased three highlighters as well. I’ve already worn all three, and I love all three! Even though I own quite a few of the Made By Mitchell Blursh liquid blushers, I’m still not sure how I feel about them, but it’s a different story with this Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter. I picked up the shade Champagne Spray, and even though I’ve only worn it once so far, I liked it instantly. I also got another shade of the About-Face Light Lock Highlight Fluid, because I love the formula. This time I picked up the shade Unrestrained, which is beautiful soft lavender. And the last highlighter, I purchased, is the famous Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed highlighter in Champagne Pop. It is now called Smashbox x Becca, but the product is the same. I picked up the mini size, because I never go through an entire highlighter.

Lastly, I picked up two base products from e.l.f. Cosmetics. I purchased a back-up of the Flawless Brightening concealer in Fair 10 C, because I just love that product, and I also picked up the Camo powder foundation in Fair 120 N, which I’d heard such good things about. I’ve only used it a few times, but so far I like it a lot.

Essence released a Jurassic World collection around the time of the release of the third Jurassic World film, and since I love dinosaurs and the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World trilogies, I obviously had to pick up this collection.

The three make-up products in the collection was an eyeshadow palette in 01 Have A Raw_some Day!, a highlighter in 01 Extra Crispy, and a Ph-reacting lip glow in 01 Runnn!.

The palette is a cute little 8-pan palette with a half neutral half colourful colour story. I wore the palette here, which was actually on the day I went to watch Jurassic World: Dominion at the cinema.

The highlighter is very cute as well. It might look a little dark for fair skin tones, but it did work on me. It was just a more natural highlight.

I’m always a little sceptical when it comes to Ph-reacting lip products, but this one is probably the prettiest one I’ve tried so far. On the lips, it turns into a very pretty glowy pink, and it leaves a very nice stain behind.

The collection also came with a bunch of tools. I picked up the makeup sponge in 01 Bingo! Dino dna. I haven’t tried it yet though.

I also got the two face brushes; the highlighter brush in 01 Must Be A Fast Runner! and the powder brush in 01 Stay In The Car!.

Lastly, I purchased the eye brush set & makeup bag in 01 Bigger, Louder, More Teeth!. I think Essence makes really nice, affordable brushes. And these are just so pretty too. I love the packaging on the whole collection, but pink and orange is one of my favourite colour combos, so that might have something to do with it.

Today I have an Essence and Catrice Disney Classics collections haul to share with you. The sister brands each did three eyeshadow palettes plus a bunch of other products inspired by classic Disney animal characters, and obviously I had to pick up a bunch of stuff from the collections. Let’s begin with Essence.

Essence released three Disney Classics Silky Eyeshadow Palettes; Bambi 01 Friends Til the End, Dumbo 02 Make A Splash, and Patch 03 Dognapped!. My favourite so far is the Bambi one, which contains some really pretty green shades. I was pretty disappointed in the Dumbo one, but I used a few shades from Patch one today, and I quite liked those.

The other three products I picked up from the Essence collection are the Disney Classics Maxi Blush Highlighters in Bambi 01 Nature, Dumbo 02 Peanuts, and Patch 03 Thunderbolt. Once again the Bambi one is my favourite so far, but I haven’t tried the Patch one yet. Let’s move on to Catrice.

Catrice also had three palettes. These are called the Disney Classics Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Palettes, and they came in Marie 010 Je Suis Marie, Lady 020 True Love, and Miss Bunny 030 Flirtatious. My favourite so far is the Miss Bunny one, but I did quite like the Lady one as well.

I also picked up the Catrice Disney Classics Maxi Matt Face & Body Bronzers. There were only two of these in the collection; Marie 010 Ladylike and Lady 020 Be Brave. How adorable is the packaging!

The last two products I purchased from the Catrice collection were the Disney Classics Marie Satin Coconut Lipstick in 010 Pink Bow, and the Catrice Disney Classics Lady Satin Coconut Lipstick in 020 Romance. This is actually such a nice creamy lipstick formula, and they have nice pigmentation too. I’m not a fan of coconut scents, but thankfully the scent on these lipsticks is not overpowering.

All in all, I like this Disney Classics collab collection from Essence and Catrice better than their Disney Princess collab collection.

Today’s haul is a small one. I purchased three products from the MAC Magnificent Moon collection when it released, and I thought I would share them with you.

The Extra Dimension Skinfinish x4: Surrounded by Stars palette is the star of the collection in my opinion. It comes with four shades; one hightlight shade and three blushes – at least on my skintone. The shades are Oh Darling!, Hushed Tone, Surrounded By Stars, and Hard To Get. I think the packaging of this collection is really pretty, but just look at the actually product; so detailed and so stunning!

The other two products I picked up from the collection are a lipstick in the shade Skies Above and a lip pencil in the shade Spice. Skies Above is a limited edition shade, but Spice is a permanent shade in the lip pencil range that I didn’t already own. I’m wearing all three products here.

I have a collective haul to share with you today. This haul consists of both clothes and make-up and all items were purchased in March.

I’ve already talked about this blue retro floral matching set from Monki, so I won’t say anything other than I love it, and that it’s one of my favourite clothing purchases this year so far.

You’ve already seen me wear all three of these Monki dresses. I purchased the floral wrap dress and the red checkered dress on sale. All of these dresses are great for a small to medium baby bump:)

You’ve also seen me wear this lilac dress a couple of times. It’s from my local supermarket brand VRS, and it is also a great dress to wear with a growing bump.

These last two clothing pieces are from Zara. I just fell in love with the Winnie The Pooh sweater vest; I just love the colours and the fun details. And you know I love dinosaurs, so I thought the stripy T-shirt was cute.

Let’s move on to make-up. First off, I purchased four products from Essence and one from e.l.f. Cosmetics from Cocopanda. I got the Essence Welcome to Miami eyeshadow palette, the Essence Hello Good Stuff Happy Bliss face spray, the Essence Juicy Bomb shiny lipglosses in 09 Fresh Banana and 10 Sweet Mint, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty blush in Turks and Caicos.

Here’s a closer look at the palette and the blush. I love the e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty blushes, and Turks and Caicos is such a pretty shade. However, I was not super impressed by the Essence Welcome to Miami eyeshadow palette. The look I created with it was pretty enough, but it’s not the easiest palette to work with, so I’ve actually already decluttered it from my collection.

Here are three other random make-up items that I picked up in March. I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Sandstone, and I love it. The shade is beautiful, and the formula is great. I also picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless Brightening concealer in Fair 10 C, which has been a go-to undereye concealer of mine for the past couple of months. And then I got the NYX Thick It. Stick It! brow mascara in Taupe. Lots of people love this product, but I’m not sure about it. I think it might be too pigmented for my liking, but maybe I just have to play around with it a bit more.

And last, but most certainly not least, I purchased the Natasha Denona Pastel palette back in March. I’ve posted many looks with this palette, and I’ve featured it in a previous 5 favourites post, so it’s easy to tell that I love this palette. It’s one of my favourite and most used Natasha Denona palettes.

For the past three or four years MAC has released a cherry blossom inspired spring collection, and this year’s collection is called Wild Cherry. As you can see, I picked up quite a few items from the collection: I bought the Fix+ in the cherry blossom scent (which is my favourite Fix+ scent), the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Petallic Metallic, the Glow Play blush in Peaches ‘N’ Dreams, the Love Me lipstick in Sakura Szn, and the Pre + Prime Lip.

Here’s the inside of the Extra Dimension Skinfinish. It’s so pretty, right?! The shade is a shifty gold to pink, which is very pretty, however, I don’t find the formula to be as good as some other Extra Dimension Skinfinishes. This one is a little less pigmented and smooth.

The MAC Glow Play blushes are some of my favourites, and this is the first time they’ve been released in limited edition shades and packaging. This shade is quite similar to the shade Groovy from the permanent line, though a little lighter.

This collection only included Love Me lipsticks, which is a creamy formula. I picked up the more nude shade in the collection, and it’s a very pretty shade (I’m wearing it here and here).

I also got some free gifts with this purchase which I thought I would include in this haul as well. I got two brushes, which is always nice, because MAC brushes are not cheap. These are the 133S Small Cheek brush and the 275S Medium Angled Shading brush.

For once I also wanted to include the free samples I got with this order, because I got a couple of interesting ones. I’ve been wanting to try both the Studio Fix Mattifine 12HR Shine-Control primer and the M·A·CStack mascara. I’ve already used up the mascara, and I loved it. I also received a Lightful C3 Radiant Hydration Skin Renewal Lotion and another Strobe Cream sample in Pinklite.
