Collective haul – beauty (February 2025)

I have a big collective beauty haul to share with you today. I’ve purchased these products from lots of different places, so they won’t be divided into categories. I’ll just show them based on where are got them from.

I picked up the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Plum Twilight and the MAC Colour Excess Gel pencil eye liner in Perpetual Shock! in a Zalando sale. I love these formulas.

In a Sephora sale I bought the Makeup By Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight palette and the Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ lip mask in Salted Caramel. I’d been wanting to try Makeup By Mario eyeshadows, and I got the Ethereal Eyes Moonlight palette at a really good price. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The Fenty Beauty Cheeks Suede powder blushes finally came to Danish retailers, so I picked up two of the shimmer shades; Wattabrat 08 and Tutu Turnt 09. They’re really pretty, and I’ve picked up a few more shades since. I also got the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix shimmer in Hot Chocolit 03.

The next set of products were purchased at Magasin. I got the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch mini cheek & lip set, which includes a dewy liquid blush in Worth and a tinted lip oil in Beloved. I love both of these formulas, and I especially like the tinted lip oil shade.

I also picked up the KVD Beauty Lock It pore-refining primer and two of the KVD Beauty Tattoo pencil liners in the shades Canvas Beige and Radium Green. The primer is nice, but the liners are horrible! I especially wanted the green shade to work so bad, but these liners are so stiff and they won’t show up in the waterline.

I bought the next 7 items from a German website called Purish. I featured the Nabla Freckle Maker in my latest 5 favourites post, so I clearly enjoy that one. And the Essence line n’ STAIN! Tattoo liner in 03 Make A Mauve is a fun product.

The Catrice Glass Like dewy lip tints are so lovely! I picked up the shades 020 Look At Me! and 050 Regrets? Always!.

From Catrice I also got the Blushin’ Charm multi stick in 040 Sparkle Lover, the Melted Sun liquid bronzer in 005 Tan Lines, and the Instant Bright serum concealer in 002N. My favourite of the three so far is the liquid bronzer.

Lastly, I made another Sephora order for these four beautiful blushes. The Huda Beauty Blush Filters are some of my favourite liquid blushes, and I really wanted these two new shades called Intense Guava and Sunset Lychee. I also really wanted to try the new at the time Sephora Collection Colorful Blush Glazes, and I chose the shades 01 Pink Sunset and 02 Morning Blaze. So pretty, right?!

Monolith haul (February 2025)

I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. It includes five eyeshadow palettes and four lipsticks. Let’s begin with the palettes.

Angelica Nyqvist, who’s one of my favourite beauty creators, is behind Singe Beauty, and she loves colourful eyeshadows just like I do, so I was very excited to get my hands on her first eyeshadow palette, Galactic Visitor.

I’m not sure why I was drawn to the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Light in Your Eyes palette, since it’s a neutral leaning palette, but I would say that it’s a neutral palette with a twist, and it is really pretty.

I really enjoy Gourmande Girls’ colour stories and formulas, and the Bitten palette is beautiful. I wore it on my eyes here and loved the look.

Another brand who’s colour stories and formulas I love is Fantasy Cosmetica, and how pretty is the Monk palette?!

I love original Coca-Cola, and even though I had heard that this palette wasn’t one of the great quality palettes from Glamlite, I still bought it for the theme. I agree that it isn’t the best palette quality wise from Glamlite, but I still thought the look I created with it turned out nice.

You have seen me wear some of the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks in recent posts, and I really like them. I picked up the shades Bloodstone, Sire, Void, and Ancient from the first launch, and I may or may not have picked up some of the spring shades as well:)

Colourpop haul –Twilight New Moon and more (January 2025)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the items I picked up from the Twilight New Moon collection plus a handful of other products.

Of course, I had to pick up the Twilight New Moon palette and the two Super Shock shadows included in the collection. The palette is a super pretty warm toned palette (I wore it here), and the Super Shock shadows came as a set with two shades called The Volturi and We Won’t Bite.

I also got all of the lip products from the collection, which is an Ultra Glossy Lip in Runs With Vampires, and the two lip sets including a Lippie pencil and a Power Pout lipstick. The red set comes with a Lippie pencil in Vampire Laws and a Power Pout lipstick in Vampire Royalty, and the brown lip set comes with a Lippie pencil in Hello Biceps and a Power Pout lipstick in Jake.

Besides the products from the Twilight New Moon collection, I also picked up the new at the time Pretty Fresh Lock It In 16HR makeup setting spray and the Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer. I still haven’t tried the setting spray, but I really like the primer.

I was also excited to get my hands on the Liquid Hi-Lite dewy liquid highlighters, which had launch very late last year, I think. I picked up two of the shades; Sugar Donut and Pink Pony.

Lastly, I got the Star Wars palette and the Blotted Lip in Purr on sale. I’ve never watched Star Wars, but I thought the palette looked pretty, and I thought the red Blotted Lip shade looked nice as well.

Beauty Bay haul – sale or 20% off (January 2025)

I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. I made two orders back in January and everything was 20% off or otherwise discounted.

I’d been wanting to try a Viseart eyeshadow palette for so long, so I finally decided to pick one up. I chose the Violette ÉNTENDU palette, because I love purples. It’s not a bad palette, the shimmers are just underwhelming to me. If you’re not into intense, indie shimmers, you might like the Viseart shimmers. I’m wearing this palette on my eyes here.

I used to buy every Jeffree Star Cosmetics palette and collection in general, but I’m not as interested in the brand anymore. I still like some of the products including the eyeshadows, so I did end up getting the Gold Blooded artistry palette. I did a look with it here, and I think the look turned out very pretty.

By BEAUTY BAY released two palettes for the holidays in the end of last year. I picked up the Celestial Charms 20 colour palette back then, but earlier this year I decided to get the Mini Charms 9 colour palette as well. It’s an all shimmer palette, and it’s actually very nice.

And speaking of By BEAUTY BAY, I also had to have their Daydreamer 20 colour palette, which was this year’s Valentine’s Day release from the brand.

I finally decided to try out the Nimya Glowification highlighters as well. In my first order I got the shade Pink Outside The Box.

And in my second order, I picked up another shade of the Nimya Glowification highlighters, and it’s called Beam, Bam, Boom!. From Nimya I also bought the Discophere Glitter Lip Topper in Pink In Bio, and then I got the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream bronzer in Sunkissed and the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream blush in Pumpkin. Lastly, I purchased two more shades of the Glisten Cosmetics Spectra Lash mascaras; I got Orange Red and Yellow.

Collective haul – part 2 (January 2025)

This is part 2 of my huge collective haul from January. This part is all about make-up and beauty products. Let’s begin with the products I picked up from Lyko.

I think this Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VI Freedom palette is absolutely stunning, but so expensive, so when I found it on sale for a pretty good price, I took the plunge and got it.

I also got this Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin 4 Ever Flushes Kit, which includes two full size Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shades Dancing Queen and Spiced Latte and two minis in the shade Red Velvet and Jubilee. I really like this blush formula.

And speaking of blushes, I’d been wanting to try both the Rose Inc Blush Divine radiant lip & cheek color and the Catrice Blush Affair cream & powder palette, so I picked up the shades Hibiscus (Rose Inc) and 010 Stunning Strawberry (Catrice).

We’re not done with blushes yet, because I had been waiting for the Makeup By Mario Soft Pop plumping blush veil shade extension, so I could pick up the shades Strawberry Sunset and Papaya Pop. I kind of want the other shades as well. I also got two of the new shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Cherry Glow and Tangerine Glow.

Now let’s move on to the products I got from Magasin (Danish department store). I bought the L’Oréal Lumi Le Liquid Blush in 625 Glowy Gold Pink, the MAC Face Palette x4: Luxe Luck, and the MAC Turquatic fragrance 20 ml. They were all 20% off.

I bought the rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes in S01 Mango Chip and S02 Lychee Chip and the L’Oréal Lumi Le Glow highlighter stick in 630 Glowy Créme Chic from Matas (Danish drugstore). The blushes are very disappointing, but the highlighter stick in pretty.

Lastly, I placed an order from Cosmic Brushes/Beauty and got the The Lovers palette and an eye brush set.

Collective haul – part 1 (January 2025)

I have a huge collective haul from January this year, and I’m going to divide it into two parts. This first part includes both clothes, shoes, accessories, and beauty, whereas the second part is all beauty products.

I picked up these red wide leg trousers on sale at H&M. I’m actually wearing them today.

I love a colourful, floral midi skirt or dress. The skirt and the purple dress are both from the brand YAS, which is a brand I really like, and the green dress is from Asos Design.

You know I love a Disney print and this burgundy oversized T-shirt with Mickey and Minnie on it is just a nice basic from Asos Design.

Apparently, I managed to buy two different pairs of leopard print boots. The slouchy heeled ones are from H&M, and the flat ones are from Asos Design.

I know Christmas is far away, but I can always use some more Christmas themed jewellery like these earrings from Accessorize.

Let’s move on to make-up. I picked up these three products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Halo Glow Powder Filter pressed powder in Fair Neutral Cool, the Camo liquid bronzer & contour in Fair/Light, and the Camo liquid blush in Bold-Faced Lilac. I really like all three of these.

Here’s a little random selection of products, I picked up back in January; the MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Trick (love these tinted lip balms), the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver glimmer lip oil in Chocoluxe, and the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filter in Ube Cream (one of my favourite liquid blush formulas).

I got all of the last items in this haul from Sephora. This is the Pat McGrath Labs Luminous Legends mega eye shadow palette, which was their holiday palette from 2024. I got it on sale.

I wanted to own something from the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked collection after watching the film, so I got the Tulip Field lipstick in Munchkin Musk.

I also purchased two of the new at the time Natasha Denona Hy-Blush cloudy cream cheek duos in the shades Sweet Cheeks and Flustered, and they’re very pretty. And as I mentioned I love the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filters, so I got another shade. This is the shade Coco Loco from the Icy Nude collection, which is a beautiful deep red, when you blend it out.

Lastly, I caved and got the KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmellow 81 eau de parfum (10 ml). KAYALI is my favourite perfume brand, and even though this sweet scent is my favourite from the brand I still like it.

Monolith haul (December 2024)

I have a rather large Monolith haul to share with you today. It consists of mainly eyeshadow palettes, but I did also get a few cheek and lip products.

Let’s begin with a holiday palette that a lot of people loved, and so did I. It’s the Dede Signature Fearless Holiday palette, and it’s supposed to be a mix of autumn and winter/Christmas shades, which I think it is. I wore it here.

Dede Signature also rereleased there former Christmas and autumn palettes the Jingle Bell Ruby palette and The Classic Autumn palette, so I picked those up as well. I wore the Jingle Bell Ruby palette on Christmas Eve.

The last Christmas/winter themed palette I got was the Gourmande Girls Frozen Kiss palette. This is a colour story right up my alley. I actually wore this palette on New Year’s Eve.

Keeping with a wintery colour story, this is the Bellabeautébar Realm of Fairies palette made in collaboration with sassyfairie. I created this eye look with it.

I was comtemplating picking up the Glaminatrix Cosmetics Barely Basic palette for quite a while, so when it was back in stock, I decided to finally pick it up. It’s such a pretty neutral palette with a twist.

I bought two palettes from Unearthly Cosmetics. I never owned the original Not Normal palette, but I had to get the remastered version, because that colour story is stunning. I’m wearing it here. I also think the Just A Taste palette is super pretty, and I created this grungy holiday look with it.

The last eyeshadow palette in this haul it the stunning Wicked Widow Beauty Tales of Terror: A Haunting palette, which is pretty much a perfect autumn/Halloween palette. I created this yummy look with it.

These are the three cheek products I picked up; the Unearthly Cosmetics Just A Taste Gory Glow highlight, the Wicked Widow Beauty Tales of Terror: A Haunting highlighter in Jack-O-Lantern, and the Whats Up Beauty Cheeque Terre bronzer in 10 Light. I especially love the Whats Up Beauty Cheeque Terre bronzer.

Lastly, I also got three lip products; two of the Kaleidos Cloud Lab Lip Clays in Rosefire and Golden Rosin, and another shade of the Fantasy Cosmetica Lost Library lipsticks. It’s called Obscure, and it was on sale.

Collective haul – incl. Cyber Monday sale (December 2024)

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in December last year, and some of the items I purchased in Cyber Monday sales. This haul includes a bit of everything. I’ll group the items by where I got them from.

Let’s begin with what I picked up in the H&M Cyber Monday sale. I got this beautiful burgundy dress with rhinestones all over it. I wore it on Christmas Eve.

I also got a pair of straight leg blue jeans from H&M, because I thought they might come in handy at some point.

You know I’ve been loving a flower pin, so I got these three (the two black ones and the leopard print one) from H&M. I also got a white flower scrunchie.

The last thing a picked up in the H&M Cyber Monday sale is this pair of big, heart-shaped pearl earrings, and they’re really cute.

Let’s move on the the things I got from Zalando. I thought this Elf tie from the brand OppoSuits was too fun not to buy.

I also bought two pairs of shoes from Zalando. I got the ALDO x Wicked Glinda inspired sling-backs, and they’re so pretty. I also got another pair of Teva sandals, but this time with a platform and in one of my favourite colour combos, red and pink.

I also purchased my first ever products from Moira, which was a new brand to Zalando at the time. This is the I’m Falling For You palette. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

For eyes I also wanted to try out the Starshow shadow pot in Eureka and the Diamond Daze liquid shadow in 01 Airglow.

And for cheeks, I got the Loveheat cream blush in I Adore Yo and the Dreamlight highlighter in Dreamlight.

Now let’s talk about some bits I got from Beauty Bay (not sale). I got the Trixie Cosmetics Gel lip liner and Buttercream lipstick in Fashionably Late, because I wanted to try this new line of lip liners and lipstick shades.

I don’t pick up that much from Jeffree Star Cosmetics anymore, but he hadn’t released new shades of the Velour liquid lipsticks in a while, so I bought the shades RedRum Remix (red w. shimmer), Star Knockout (dark purple), and Mountain View (metallic brown). I’d also been wanting to try the Liquid Frost highlighter and chose the shade Frostitute.

Lastly, I’ll show you some jewellery I got as Christmas presents and a pair of tights I also got for Christmas. I’ve had this Trollbeads Cookie Joy ring on my wishlist for so long, so I was very happy to receive it for Christmas last year.

I also got these five beads for my bracelet, bangle, and/or ring, and they’re all so pretty.

I have a lot of Pandora x Disney jewellery too and how cute are these Mickey Mouse earrings?!

From Pandora x Disney I also received this Lilo & Stitch charm. So cute!

And lastly, I got a pair of fuchsia pink tights from Sneaky Fox.

Collective Black Friday haul (November 2024)

I have a collective Black Friday haul to share with you today. The haul includes a mix of everything from beauty to clothes, shoes, and accessories.

From Jolie Beauty I picked up the Spellbound palette, the Moonchild highlighter palette, and the multichrome lipgloss in Ethereal. I got 15% off all products. I’m wearing all three products here, and I think the look turned out so fun.

Let’s move on to the other random make-up bits, I purchased during the Black Friday sales. I got a back-up of my favourite concealer, the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), and a back-up of one of my favourite foundations/skin tints, the Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W). I also wanted to try out the Huda Beauty Easy Blur natural airbrush foundation, and I got the shade 110N Angel Food, which I think is sadly a little to light for me.

From Makeup By Mario I bought the Soft Sculpt shaping stick in Light, the Mario Soft Pop blush stick in Watermelon, and the Soft Pop plumping blush veil in Perfect Pink, because I’ve been wanting to try out more products from the brand.

The last make-up products I purchased were the Benefit Cosmetics Plushtint moisturizing matte lip tint in 20 Red Velvet, the Haus Labs PhD Hybrid lip glaze plumping lip gloss in Persimmon, and a back-up of the MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash, which I love to use on my lower lashes.

From Asos I picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Squeeze Me More lip balm duo in Mango and Watermelon and a big, red, tartan scrunchie from the brand DesignB London.

You know I love colourful tights, so I got a blue pair and a green pair from Sneaky Fox.

I don’t wear a lot of black, but I thought this beaded zebra print bag form Topshop was really cute.

I bought two pairs of shoes in the Asos sale; the floral, sheer sling-backs are from River Island and the black mules with the flowers are from Asos Design.

Lastly, I picked up two pretty dresses. The orange checkered one is from the brand Stella Nova, and the floral one is by Danish designer Stine Goya. I think I might wear the floral one for a wedding next month.

5 favourites – April

As I wrote in my 5 favourites post from last month, I’m so ready for warmer weather, and we’ve had a handful of nice, sunny days, but not nearly as many as I was hoping for. I had a very nice Easter break, but I must admit, it’s been tough going back to work after the break. Hopefully, it’ll get easier again soon. Anyways, I’m really excited about this month’s favourites so let’s talk about them.

Patchwork coat (Stella Nova): I fell in love with this coat the first time I saw it, but it was quite expensive, so I didn’t buy it. However, I kept an eye out for it, and in March I found it on sale heavily discounted, so I went for it. I love it, and I’ve worn it so much.

Colourpop Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm (shade: Fair 1): I’d heard such good things about this stick foundation, and it really is great. I’ve had a lot of early mornings this past month, and this has been my go-to most worn foundation; it’s just so quick and easy to apply, and it looks so good.

NYX Buttermelt highlighters: I love the NYX Buttermelt bronzer and blushes, so I was so excited to try the highlighters from the Buttermelt line, and they did not disappoint. I got the three most colourful shades, and they’re all so pretty.

MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm (shade: Vibe): It’s not often that I include a lip product in a 5 favourites post, because I’ve got so many lip products and wear different ones all the time, but I’ve worn this MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in the shade Vibe so many times this past month, so I had to give it a shout out. I love the formula in general, but this particular colour is so lovely on the lips.

Sol de Janeiro Danca Mistica perfume mist: I was so excited to try this limited edition summer scent from Sol de Janeiro, because it has notes of fig, sandalwood, and vanilla. I think it might be my new favourite Sol de Janeiro scent.
