I have a Cocopanda haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in October last year.
I picked up the Essence By Merve collection. It consists of the Super Coverage Eyeshadow Base by Merve in 01 Create Your Canvas, the Essence Eyeshadow Palette By Merve in 01 Orient Meets Occident, and the Lamination Style Brow Fixing Gel By Merve in 01 Can Be Tamed!. I like all of these products, my favourite actual being the eyeshadow base, which is very nice.
I also picked up the Physicians Formula All-Star Palette, which includes six different powder products from Physicians Formula. To be honest, I haven’t used this palette much at all, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. However, it’s pretty to look at.
Lastly, I picked up two foundations. I purchased the L’Oréal True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum in 0,5-2 Very Light, and I also got a back-up of the Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation 004 Neutral Porcelain, because I love that foundation when I want full coverage. But, I’ve falling in love with the L’Oréal one as well. It’s like a skin tint, but it still has a decent amount of coverage. It’s perfect for days where my skin is looking pretty good, and the finish and wear of this product is stunning.
Today’s haul is part 2 of my collective haul from October last year. This part is all beauty products.
Let’s start with some tools or more specifically sponges. Real Techniques sponges are my favourites, so I picked up this two pc miracle complexion sponge and miracle powder sponge. I’ve never tried the miracle powder sponge, so that’ll be interesting.
I just picked up one skincare product, and I’ve already featured this in a 5 favourites post. It’s the Wishful Honey Whip Peptide moisturizer and I love it! I used this mini version up a long time ago, and I have repurchased a full size tub since.
Next up, I’ve bought a few Rimmel products. I don’t shop from Rimmel very often anymore, but I’m really enjoying the Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer, which I’ve also featured in a 5 favourites post.
From Rimmel I also picked up the Kind & Free Healthy Look pressed powder in 01 Translucent and the Kind & Free mascara in 002 brown black. I’ve only used the powder a few times so far, and I haven’t tried the mascara yet.
I’ve already posted a haul that included most of the I Heart Revolution x Disney Fairytale Books Snow White collection, but I’d since then also picked up the Snow White lip topper, which is a pretty darker red shade.
Lastly, I picked up a couple of products from the MAC Aute Couture Starring Rosalia collection in a sale. I was very intrigued by the nail lacquers, and I really like them. I picked up the shades Chocolate Amargo and Sweet Aji. I also got one of the lipsticks. This is a matte lipstick in the shade Nuez Moscada.
Today’s post is a beauty haul consisting of products from, Anastasia Beverly Hills, NYX, Essie and KVD Beauty.
Let’s start with ABH and NYX. From ABH I picked up the Magic Touch concealer in 1, which is too light, but I still use it, because I can mix it with other concealers. I also picked up the ABH Stick Blush in Latte. From NYX I got the High Definition finishing powder in Banana and the Born To Glow Radiant concealer in Pale. I’ve already decluttered the powder, because it was a little too dark on me, but I like the concealer.
I also purchased two Essie nail lacquers in the shades 666 Sexy Divide and 773 Feelin’ Just Lime. The clear mini is a speed setter, and it was a gift with purchase.
From KVD Beauty I finally picked up three of the Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadows, which I’d been wanting to try for a while. I chose the shades Hail Surge, Thundercloud, and Electro Bolt. These are super glittery and so pretty.
The last item was also a free gift with purchase. This is the KVD Beauty Edge Of Reality palette, which I’d actually considered buying before, but never did, so I was excited to receive as a free gift. I haven’t used it that much yet, but the shimmer shades are really pretty.
How has a quarter of the year already gone by?! Time just moves so fast. The calendar says spring, but so far we’ve only had one week of spring weather in Denmark (it snowed yesterday!). I’m really yearning for warmer weather, so hopefully we’ll get some more of that soon. My favourites from the first month of spring are make-up heavy, but I’m really excited about these products, so let’s talk about them.
Natasha Denona Pastel palette: Besides from the Circo Loco palette this is the most exciting palette Natasha Denona has released in my opinion. I love colourful eyeshadows, I love pastels and I love the ND formulas, so I’m really enjoying this palette. It’s just the perfect spring palette, isn’t it?
Catrice All Matt Shine Control Powder Healthy Look (shade: 100 Neutral Fresh Beige): I’ve loved this powder since I purchased it back in September, so I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post. This powder has the prettiest natural glow to it (don’t be fooled by the “all matt” in the name). If you love the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder, but want to try a much cheaper alternative, try this Catrice powder.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty bronzer (shade: Tan Lines): I think this is my most used bronzer in the month of March. I haven’t hauled it yet, but I had to share it with you, because it’s such a stunning, affordable cream bronzer, and it’s so easy to work with. It’s giving the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle cream bronzer a run for it’s money.
Rms Beauty Living Luminizer: Here’s another product that I haven’t hauled yet, but that I’ve been obsessed with. This is the first cream highlighter that I’ve truely fallen in love with. It just looks so stunning on the skin.
West Side Story (2021 film): My last favourite is not a make-up product, but a film. I’ve never watched the original West Side Story, though I really want to, but maybe it was a good thing, because then I didn’t have anything to compare the 2021 version to. And I loved the 2021 version. I obviously knew the story and most of the songs, but it was just so well executed. I’m also a big fan of a lot of Steven Spielberg’s work, which might also be a reason why I liked this film.
I have a Monki haul to share with you today. I purchased all items apart from one on sale.
This is the item that I didn’t buy on sale. I wore these orange checkered trousers in my last outfit post, and I think that they’re so fun and retro looking.
I’m slightly obsessed with this matching oversized blazer and stirrup leggings. I’ve worn them together a couple of times, and I’ve loved those outfits. I definitely gets 80’s vibes from this set.
Here’s another item that I’ve already worn in an outfit post. Even though I prefer colourful clothes, and I still like neutrals especially if there’s a fun print involved.
I haven’t worn this dress yet, because I think it’s more appropriate for spring and summer. But I think it’s really cute, and I’m excited to style it.
This thing is so fluffy and soft, and it’s one of the coziest and most comfortable items in my wardrobe.
And here’s the dalmatian skirt that I wore with my recently posted Cruella De Vil inspired outfit. I’ve got this style of skirt in so many different colourways and prints now.
Last item in this haul is a pair of earrings. I’ve actually worn these orange hoops a lot more than I initially thought I would.
I have a 20% off Sephora haul to share with you today. I purchased these product some time last autumn. Some of them during the Sephora birthday sale.
I’ve already posted a couple of make-up looks featuring this palette, but here’s a closer look at the Natasha Denona Glam palette. As you might have noticed I prefer colourful eyeshadows, but this sure is a very pretty cool-toned neutral palette.
I wore both of these products from Anastasia Beverly Hills in my last make-up post. It’s the Stick Blush in the shade Peachy Keen and the Cream Bronzer in Sun Kissed. I’ve heard a lot of people online rave about these cream products, especially the bronzer, and I agree that these are great products. I’ve worn the bronzer quite a bit.
I’ve already posted the Make Up For Ever lipstick in a December haul, because it was a holiday release, but at the same time I purchased the Huda Beauty Glowish Luminous pressed powder in 01 Fair and the Huda Beauty Glowish blush powder in 01 Healthy Peach. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about these two products.
The last product I purchased this time around was the Sephora Collection DO NOT DRINK - Sweet And Salty Blend Vanilla + Sea Salt eau de parfum in the 30 ml bottle. I love vanilla scents, and even though it doesn’t beat the Kayali Vanilla 28 eau de parfum, I still really like this Sephora Collection perfume.
It’s time for a collective haul. These are all things I purchased back in September 2021, and there’s a mix of clothes, shoes, and make-up.
Let’s start with clothes. This jumper is by Asos Design and I love it! I really like sheep, and I just think this jumper is so cute.
Here’s another cute item. This sweater vest is from Stradivarius, and I of course love the Mickey Mouse print, but I also love the pink and red colours together.
I love fun, patterned jeans, and I really like this pair from PULL&BEAR.
I also love fun patterned and/or colourful tights. The first pair is by Asos Design, and the second pair is by a brand called Sneaky Fox.
Jurassic Park is my favourite film (together with Breakfast At Tiffany’s), so I had to have these Jurassic Park x Reebok sneakers. They have even more details on the back, and I just think they’re awesome.
And now on to the make-up. I picked up three powders, two blushers, and a back-up of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, which is my favourite brow product. One of the powders that I picked up on a separate occasion from the others was the Catrice HD Baking & Setting loose powder in C01 Translucent. The packaging is a bit annoying, so I actually haven’t used it much yet.
The other two powders I picked up were the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose setting powder and the NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop mattifying powder in 01 Fair. I haven’t used the NYX one that much, but I’m obsessed with the Laura Mercier one. I think it might be my new favourite powder.
And lastly, the two blushers that I purchased were the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow blush in 001 Pink and the Clinique Cheek Pop Pearl blush in 05 Ruby Pop. I’ve already featured the Clinique blush in several posts, and I love it! The Dior blush went viral at some point, and it’s super pretty, but I actually haven’t worn it much yet, since it’s not a shade I go for very often.
February always go by so quickly. Probably due to the fact that it’s the shortest month, but also because I have a week long holiday in February, which is always lovely. February was a month of ups and downs, but the things in this post is definitely worth talking about, so let’s do just that.
NABLA Skin Bronzing (shade: Ambra): I haven’t hauled this bronzer yet, but I have featured it in a couple of make-up posts. This bronzer has a slight glow or sheen to it, and I’ve been really liking that in a bronzer. The shade of this is also beautiful.
Clinique Cheek Pop Pearl blushes: I love the original Clinique Cheek Pop blushes, but I think I might love the new pearl version even more. I first purchased the shade 05 Ruby Pop (top left corner), and I’ve worn that shade so much these past four months or so. Then I decided to pick up three more shades, and they’re just as stunning.
Essienail lacquers: I always wear nail polish, and of course I’ve known about Essie, but I’d only tried a few polishes from the brand many years ago. However, recently I’ve been purchasing a handful of Essie nail lacquers, as they’re called, and I’ve been loving every single one. I don’t think I’ve worn another brand throughout February. My favourite shades have been the bright red called Bunches Of Love (I’m wearing that one right now, but I’ve also worn it before), the pink with a gold shift called One Way For One, and the super sparkly orange one called Cupid’s Beau.
Pam & Tommy (TV series): I have both a TV series favourite and a film favourite this month. Let’s start with the series. As soon as I first saw the posters for this series, I was intrigued. At first glance, I thought that Lily James was actually Pamela Anderson until I took at closer look. The costume designs of this series are incredible. I was born in the early 90’s so I don’t remember the incident with the tape, but I remember some of the 90’s in generel, and the mid-90’s are represented so well. I’ve also found it really interesting to learn about this incident and the lives of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee at this time, so I find this series to be an overall enjoyable watch.
Spiderman: No Way Home (film): I’m a huge Spiderman fan, so I’ve been wanting to watch this film ever since it released. However, the pandemic put a stop to that for a while, but I finally got to watch it during my holiday. If you love the previous Spiderman film series with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as much as I do, you’ll love this one.
The 2021 autumn collection from MAC was the stunning Tempting Fate collection. The packaging of every single product in this collection is gorgeous, and the shades of the products are beautiful as well. Let’s take a closer look at the individual products.
The palette in this collection is called Eyeshadow x8: Feast Your Eyes. The shades are beautiful, and they come in three new (I think) finishes; Sparkler, Leather Lustre, and Prismetallic. However, the shades are printed in an incorrect order on the back of the palette, which is quite annoying. The right order was on the website back when the collection launched, but it was all a bit confusing.
I decided to pick up one of the eye kohls. This one is in the shade Cobalt Kohl, which is a pretty good description of the colour, I must say:) I wish that bottom of the pencil was the same colour as the actual pencil instead of being lilac. It’s just a lot easier to see what the colour is that way.
The Strobe Face Glaze was a part of the MAC summer 2020 collection, and I thought it was a beautiful product, so I had to pick up one of the Strobe Face Glazes from this collection as well. I chose the shade Punk In Spice, which might look like a darker orangy shade in the tube, but it’s not that dark at all, when you apply it to the face.
I decided to pick up three of the lipsticks. The shades are Burnished Beige (the warm nude), Tarnished Reputation (the burned terracotta orange), and Dusty Grape (the deep burgundy). Aren’t they just beautiful?
The last product I picked up from this collection was the 224S brush, which is a lovely eye blending brush.
Lastly, as a free gift with my order I got the Extended Play Gigablack mascara, which I’ve been wanting to try for a while. I’ve seen people mainly use it on the lower lashes, because is has such a small, skinny brush, and it does work perfectly for that purpose.
I have a huge collective Sephora haul to share with you today. These are products I purchased in August and September last year, and I got most of the products 20% off. I’ll let you know which product I didn’t get on sale. Some of the products, I’ve already featured in 5 favourites posts.
Let’s start with one of the main things in this haul; the Natasha Denona Retro palette. This is one of the few items I purchased full prize, because I wanted it as soon as it launched. To be honest I actually haven’t used this palette that much yet, but it’s stunning nonetheless.
Okay, now let’s move on to a bunch of different products. From Natasha Denona I also picked up the Mini Zendo palette and the Love Cheek duo, and from Winky Lux I picked up the Cheeky Rose compact blush in Crown (and it was before it went viral on social media). I also got the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral, and then I purchased three concealers: the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer in Vanilla (mini), the Too Faced Born This Way super coverage concealer in Snow (mini), and the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightener in Golden Ivory.
Here’s a closer look at the Natasha Denona products. The Mini Zendo palette has quite a unique colour story, but the shades work so well together, and I really liked the look I created with this palette. The Love Cheek duo is just stunning. The outer packaging is obviously beautiful, and so are the cream blush and powder highlighter inside as well.
This is what the Winky Lux blush looks like. It’s so beautiful, and I can’t get myself to use it, because I don’t want to ruin the pretty rose.
I featured this Dior powder in my September favourites last year, and I’m still in love with this product.
I don’t purchase a lot of high end concealers, but I really wanted to try the Fenty Bright Fix and also a couple of well known concealers in the beauty community. I’m still not completely sure how I feel about the Nars and the Too Faced concealers, but I really enjoy the Fenty one.
Here’s a handful of products I picked up at the same time. I’d been wanting to try out some products from Pat McGrath Labs, so I picked up a Skin Fetish: Divine blush in the shade Fleurtatious. It’s such a luxurious product (though a little difficult to open), and the blush itself is beautiful. I also picked up the Fenty Beauty Bomb Posse Mega Mix & Match eyeshadow palette. I’ve only used this palette once so far, and I was quite disappointed in the quality. I like the Snap Shadows from Fenty Beauty and I love that you can attach two Snap Shadows to the back of this palette, but the quality is not the same in this palette as in the Snap Shadows. However, I’ve only used some of the lighter shades, so I have to give the darker shades a try as well. The last product in this little “pile” is the Sephora By Travalo pocket atomizer. I like to be able to travel with perfume without having to bring the whole bottle.
And now on to some Huda Beauty products. First off, I picked up the Glow Obsessions Light highlighter palette and the Wild Obsessions Python palette (this one wasn’t on sale).
This is such a pretty highlighter palette, and I really should use it more.
The colour story of this palette is stunning. I’ve done a look using the blue and greens, and it turned out so beautiful.
I also purchased this Kayali x Huda Beauty Darling Kit, which was such a good deal. It consists of the KAYALI Eau de Parfum rollerball (MUSK | 12 & VANILLA | 28), the Huda Beauty Obsessions palette in Topaz, the Huda Beauty Power Bullet Matte lipstick in Interview, and a limited edtion pouch. I’m obsessed with the rollerball; both scents are delicious and they’ve quickly become two of my new favourite scents. I also featured it in my September favourites.
I love most of the Huda Beauty Obsessions palettes, and I didn’t have the Topaz one, so I’m excited to add that to my collection. And the lipstick is a pretty nude shade.
Lastly, I got this free gift with one of my orders. It’s the All Eyes On Me gift box, and it includes the Make Up Forever Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow in 16 Copper, the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara (mini), the Nars Climax mascara (mini), and the Sephora Size Up mascara (mini).
