I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. It mainly consists of the Disney Tangled collection, but I also picked up a few other things.
I picked up the entire Disney Tangled collection, because Tangled is one of my favourite Disney films. My daughter has watched it several times lately, which makes me very happy!
The Best Day Ever palette has really pretty packaging, and the colour story is very Tangled, however, this is not the best eyeshadow quality that Colourpop has done. I created this look with it.
The Dewy liquid highlighters in Mother Gothel and I See the Light are my favourite products from this collection. These highlighters are so pretty, and I’ve used both shades several times.
I’m not the biggest lipgloss person, but I do like the Ultra Glossy Lips from Colourpop. The Tangled collection included three shades; Rapunzel, Flynn Ryder, and Pascal.
The product I was the least interested in from this collection was the Glitterally Obsessed glitter body gel in Floating Lights. It’s really pretty, but these glitter gel products tend to crease on my eyelids.
The accessories in the Tangled collection are so cute! I love the Pascal hair clip, and I’ve actually worn it several times. The little foldable hair brush is cute too.
The other items I bought this time around were three of the new shimmery weightless liquid blushes. I chose the shades Sweet Treat, I Love It, and City Walk, and I love these shades and the formula.
Lastly, I got a back-up of the Colourpop Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm in the shade Fair 1. I’ve mentioned before how much I like this product.
Can you believe that it’s the last day of summer calendar wise? I actually sort of can, because we’ve actually had a very warm and sunny summer in Denmark this year, so the summer has felt longer than usual. It also looks like the warm-ish weather isn’t going to be over just yet. However, I’m slowly starting to look forward to autumn and winter, and especially Christmas of course:) But first, let’s say goodbye to August with some favourites.
Dark blue striped denim jacket w. zipper: I don’t feature clothing pieces in these favourites posts very often, because I tend to wear a lot of different clothes, however, I’ve been wearing this denim jacket as a layer in the slightly cooler mornings so many times this past month.
NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow tint pen (shade: Ash Brown): I bought this brow product a few years ago, but never really got into it. I decluttered it because I thought the shade wasn’t right for me, but I decided to try it again in a different shade. Or so I thought. I’d picked up the same shade, but for some reason, I like it a lot better now. Maybe my old one had changed colour over time.
The 7 Virtues Clemetine Dream Eau de Parfum: 2025 has been the year of fragrance for me. I’ve really gotten into trying out different perfumes and body/hair mists, and it’s been a lot of fun. This perfume from The 7 Virtues is a fresh and fruity scent with notes of clementine, magnolia, and vanilla. A perfect summer scent.
Thunderbolts* (film): I love Marvel, but I haven’t been loving a lot of their latest releases. I’d heard good things about Thunderbolts*, so I watched it a couple of nights ago, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely one of the better Marvel films that has come out in years.
Good Girl Complex (Pæn pige problemet) by Elle Kennedy (book): I have another book favourite this month, and a very different one from my book favourite of last month, but a great read nonetheless. I’m pretty sure that there are two more books in this series, and I would love to read those as well.
Here’s what I wore Monday April 28. My styling theme for this week was Crocs, so I wore a different pair of Crocs everyday that week. But to be honest, Crocs were my go-to footwear all spring, and I also wore Crocs in my last outfit post and in the outfit post coming right after my week of wearing Crocs.
(Dress – Monki, belt – Asos Design, shoes – Crocs)
A busy June has come to an end. On Friday my summer holiday begins, and I can’t wait! I don’t remember the last time I needed a long holiday this much. June was a month of ups and downs (probably more downs than ups), so I think some time off will do me good. I have a couple of trips planned for the upcoming month, which I’m very excited about, but I’m also excited about spending time at home with my family. The weather has been lovely lately, and I hope that it’ll continue that way. Besides being excited about my upcoming holiday, I’m also excited about this month’s favourites, so let’s get into those.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint (shade: 2): I’d heard good things about this product, so I was very excited to try it out. I love that it grips to the skin just like a gripping primer, so it last very well, and it has a beautiful natural, glowy finish. I wore it to a wedding two weekends ago, and it looked great all day and night.
Glamlite Translucent Bake and Set powder: This is another product that I’d heard good things about, and I agree that it’s such a good powder. It’s been my go-to powder this past month, and it looks great on the undereye area as well as all over the face.
Nabla Freckle Maker: I’ve run out of my beloved KimChi Chic Candy Girl Fake Freckles in Afternoon in The Flower Field, so I wanted to try out a new freckle product and went for the Nabla Freckle Maker. It’s really good and easy to work with.
KAYALI Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14 Eau de Parfum: I got the entire set of KAYALI summer scents last summer, and I’ve used them all since, but my favourite is the Lemon Sugar scent. It’s sweet and delicious.
Lilo & Stitch (live action film): I’m a huge Disney fan, and Lilo & Stitch (2002) is very special to me and my sisters, so I invited them to watch the 2025 live action version with me in the beginning of June, and we all loved it. We were worried that it might ruin the original film for us, but it didn’t. It was such an enjoyable film, and the live action Stitch might be even cuter than the cartoon version.
The last spring month has come to an end, and the first month of summer begins tomorrow. I’m still waiting for the warmer summer weather to arrive and stay though. May was a busy month with both ups and downs, but that’s life isn’t it? June is usually quite busy, when you are a teacher due to exams, but I’m also going to wedding and a graduation party towards the end of the month, so I’ll have that to look forward to. But first, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of May.
Crocs (in all shapes and forms): I’ve featured individual pairs of Crocs in these favourites posts before, but I had to feature Crocs in generel this month, because they’re been my most worn footwear. It’s a bit of an obsession at this point, but I just love how fun, customisable, and comfortable Crocs are.
MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder (shade: Translucent): I’ve had this powder for about 1,5 years, and I’ve used it here and there, but I got really into using it this past month. It’s a very fine, blurring powder, but I don’t think it makes the skin look too matte, which is nice, when you like me prefer a more natural or slightly glowy finish. The powder is a part of MAC’s permanent line, I just happen to have it in limited edition packaging.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid bronzer & contour (shade: Fair/Light): e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of my favourite drugstore brands, and I really like most of their products this liquid bronzer included. It’s pretty pigmented, but it blends out very nicely, and I like this particular shade a lot.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade:Plum Twilight): A couple of months ago, I featured the Burgundy Haze shade of this mascara, which is still a huge favourite of mine, but this past month this dark purple shade has probably been my most worn mascara. It just goes so well with the eyeshadow colours I like to wear the most.
Beautyblender Blendercleanser Liquid Lavender: I had run out of my Real Techniques brush cleanser, so I decided to pick up and try this one from Beautyblender, and I really liked it. I was long overdue with cleaning my make-up brushes, so when I used this cleanser when I finally cleaned them the other day, I was quite impressed by the result.
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.
The last month of winter has come to an end, and I’m so ready for spring! The weather forecast includes slightly warmer weather next week, which I’m very excited about. Spring is the time for a fresh starts, and I think that is just what I need. But first, let’s say goodbye to winter and talk about some favourites from February (it’s mostly make-up as per usual).
Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer: This primer from Colourpop is fairly new, and it’s a great allround primer. It’s described as a gel cream which is a texture I really like, when it comes to primers, and so far it has worked under every foundation I’ve worn with it.
GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease killer eyeshadow base: From a face primer to an eyeshadow primer. I’ve had this eyeshadow primer/base for about 1,5 years, and I’ve liked it, but I’ve worn it more frequently recently. It’s great underneath pastels and bright eyeshadows.
KVD Beauty Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadows: I’ve actually loved these shadow sticks ever since they launched, and as you can see I’ve collected them all. I’ve been using them a handful of times this past month on days where I had to leave early for work, because they’re quick and easy to apply with a finger, and they’re super pretty and sparkly and long-wearing, as the name suggests.
Lethal Cosmetics Aura multichrome liners: I’ve tried a few different formulas of multichrome eyeliners, but these ones from Lethal Cosmetics are my favourites so far. The colours are beautiful, and they show up quite well in the waterline, which not all multichrome liners do.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (film): I love Bridget Jones! Bridget Jones’s Diary (the first film) is one of those films that I can always watch. I actually feel that way about all the films in this series, and even though this last film is not my most favourite from the series, I enjoyed it very much.
I bought the Essence advent calendar several years in a row, but skipped it last year, because I always ended up not really using the products in the calendars. I think it’s the first year Catrice has done an advent calendar with new limited products, and I thought the theme of the calendar looked really fun and pretty, so I decided to buy the Catrice The Great Christmas advent calendar this year, and I’m going to show you what was inside the calendar. I haven’t tried all of the products yet, but I’ll let you know, how I feel about the ones I have tried.
I’m going to talk about six products at a time, so let’s begin with the product that was behind the first six doors. They were a highlighter (gold), an under eye brightener, a Full Shine lipstick in C01, a lip liner in C01, hydrogel eye patches, and a Cream-To-Powder blush.
The only product I’ve worn of these first six is the highlighter. It was quite pretty, and a shade of gold that actually works on fair skin. I like the inclusion of an under eye brightener, but I don’t think it works on every skin tone; because it’s quite light. I’m sure it’ll work on me though. There’s another lipstick and lip liner coming up, which I have worn, and I liked both, so I’m sure I’ll like the formula of these ones as well. And I have a couple of blushes in the same packaging (and probably the same formula) as this one, but this shade look identical to one of the shades I have, which is a bit disappointing. I actually really like the cream-to-powder formula, so I would have loved to see another shade in the calendar.
The next six products were an eyeshadow shader brush, a matte liquid lipstick, a nail lacquer in C01, a lip liner in C02, a Full Shine lipstick in C02, and a 2in1 nail file.
The matte liquid lipstick is a deep red shade, and I’m actually planning on wearing it today. I really like Catrice brushes and nail polishes, so I’m excited to use those. And this is the lip liner and lipstick that I’ve worn, and they were very nice.
The second to last set of six products were face jewels, an eyeshadow blender brush, a hydrating lip mask, a multi-chrome eye pencil in C01, a nail lacquer in C02, and a hydrogel plumping lip patch.
I’ve never worn any of the face jewels I’ve gotten from Essence calendars, but I’m considering maybe using some for my New Year’s Eve make-up look. I think the lip mask is a fun addition, but my favourite product from the calendar that I’ve tried so far is the multi-chrome eye pencil in C01; it has a very nice warm orangy red/brown/green shift, and I’ve used it quite a few times already.
The last six products were glitter nail foils, a multi-chrome eye pencil in C02, an eyebrow brush, a hair clip, a nail lacquer in C03, and an eyeshadow palette.
I love that they included another shade of the multi-chrome eye pencils. I haven’t used this one yet, but it seems to be a pretty blue/pink shade. The third nail lacquer is probably my favourite by just looking at it (I haven’t worn any of the shades yet), and I think it’s very nice to see an eyeshadow palette in an advent calendar. I’m excited to see if the quality is any good.
Overall, I really like this advent calendar, and I think it’s better than any of the Essence advent calendars I’ve bought in the past.
Here’s what I wore Friday December 6. It was my first day back at work after having the flu for most of the week last week, and then I got a really bad stomach flu Tuesday night this week, which is why I haven’t posted the past three days. So my family and I have been ill all of December so far, and I’m sick of it (pun intented).
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I dug out all of my Christmas themed products or products released around Christmas and put them aside. I’m going to use as many of them as possible with all of my Christmassy outfits, and I’m already having so much fun rediscovering all of my Christmas make-up.
