Colourpop Disney Tangled and more haul (April 2025)

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.

Rosy neutrals and red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I wear a rosy neutral eye look, but I think this look turned out really pretty. And I had almost forgotten how much I love the Natasha Denona I Need A Rouge lip crayon and lip styletto in the shade Gigi; it’s such a good red lip colour!

Indie make-up haul (April 2025)

I have a rather large indie haul to share with you today. I made an order from Nomad Cosmetics when they had a 25% off everything sale, and I also made two orders from Monolith, one of them being from their Easter sale.

I picked up three palettes in the Nomad Cosmetics sale, the first one being the Royal Europe intense color & chrome palette, which includes beautiful jewel tone mattes and five stunning multichromes. I wore the palette on my eyes here.

I also got the Chicago Speakeasy intense color & chrome palette, which has a mix of purples, greens, and neutrals. I created this look with it.

The last Nomad Cosmetics palette, I bought, was the Polar Express intense eyeshadow palette. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a holiday/Christmas themed palette. I’ve actually created two looks with this palette; this one and this one.

In my first Monolith order, I picked up a blush palette, three eyeshadow palettes, and a liquid lipstick. The blush palette is the Bellabeautébar Baked Blush palette, which was actually on sale. To be honest, I’d kind of forgotten that I have this palette, but it’s really pretty, so I need to bust it out again.

I was unsure if I should get the Bellabeautébar Green Goddess palette, but I ended up getting it. I was a bit disappointed in this palette when I created this look, but I need to create more looks with it to form a proper opinion on it.

I was also a bit disappointed in the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Glow palette. It looks like a colour story that I would love, but the pastels were kind of weak. I wore it on my eyes here.

But here’s a palette that did not disappoint at all! I love the look I created with the Unearthly Cosmetics Murky Meadow palette. The quality of these shadows is amazing, and I love these murky shades.

The last product I picked up in the first Monolith order was the Unearthly Cosmetics satin liquid lipstick in Mandy, which is just a shade that I’ve had on my wishlist for a while.

Now let’s move on to the pieces I picked up in the Easter sale. I got two more of the Kaleidos Futurism palettes; Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender and Futurism VII: Sashimi City. These are lovely little palettes that I wore here and here.

From Kaleidos, I also got the quad palette in Glowing Iris, and I love these shades! I created this look with it.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the colour stories from Arttitude Cosmetics, even this Urban Neutrals palette, which is more muted and cool-toned. I created this stunning black and grey smokey eye with it.

Did I need the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Plastic palette? Probably not, but I was a bit curious about this smaller and more neutral format from the brand. However, did I end up skipping the neutrals and went for the pinks the first time I used this palette? Of course.

I also got a few cheek products. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bunny & Playmate Dream Duo. I have another one of these cheek duos, and I really enjoy them.

And lastly, I got another shade of the Simply Posh Cosmetics liquid blushes. This is the shade Rosy Cheeks. I also decided to pick up the Bellabeautébar Skin of a Killer highlighter. So pretty, right?

5 favourites – August

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.

So pigmented

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to create another eye look with the Cosmic Brushes Undergrowth palette, and man, those eyeshadows are pigmented!

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powder – Glamlite Translucent Bake and Set powder, freckles – Nabla Freckle Maker. Face make-up: bronzer – Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt serum bronzer in Fair, blush – Glaminatrix Cosmetics Liquid Cheek & Lip Flush in Sweet, highlighter – MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl. Eye make-up: base – Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer, eyeshadows – Cosmic Brushes Undergrowth palette (shades: Reeds + Algae + Fern + Nettle + Boggy + Undergrowth + Vegetation), mascara – Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Green Altitude), eyeliner – Oden’s Eye Solmåne gel liner in 006 Green Tea. Eyebrows: MAC Shape + Shade brow tint in Taupe + Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. Lips: Catrice Intense Matte lip pen in 070 Re(a)d My Lips)

Collective haul (Late March/April 2025)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, one piece of clothing, and a bunch of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty bits.

I purchased two of the limited edition summer scents from Sol de Janeiro; Dança Mística and Água Mística. Dança Mística is by far my favourite. It might even be my favourite Sol de Janeiro scent that I own, and I own quite a lot of them. Some of the notes are purple fig, champagne accord, lily of the valley, warm vanilla, and sandalwood. It’s really unique, but so good. More people would probably like Água Mística, which has notes like neroli water, tangerine, white pineapple, peony, and salty skin accord. I don’t like the pineapple, which is strong to my nose, but if you like a fresh, tropical scent, you would probably like Água Mística.

I decided to try the TirTir Mask Fit Aura mini cushion foundation in 13N Fair Ivory, but even though this shade works for me in the red version, I think it’s a little light on me in this aura version.

I love the NYX Buttermelt highlighters. I got the shades 15 U Butta Work, 20 Butta Mint, and 40 No 1 Butta. They’re so pretty, and I may or may not have picked up a couple more shades since:)

Here’s a couple other make-up bits, I picked up. I’d been wanting to try the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint, so I picked up shade 2 in a sale, and I love it! It’s such a good skin tint. I also really enjoy the Fenty Beauty Suede powder blushes, so I got another shimmer shade called Bubbleband$ 11.

Speaking of Fenty Beauty, I really wanted to get my hands on the Hot Cheeks highlighting blushes in Cherry Pie’d and Cherry Pop, and they’re so pretty.

The only piece of clothing in this haul is this stripy skirt from Mango, which I got on sale. Now, let’s move on to shoes.

You know I have an obsession with Crocs, and I just fell in love with these Mary Janes the second I saw them. And I love this bright red colour.

I also picked up these classic Crocs with floral cut-outs in a cute pale green colour, and I’ve worn them quite a bit this summer.

And the last pair of Crocs in this haul is this pair of Sirens in the dark purple colour. They’re just so good!

Oh, and I also picked this 5 pc of bow Jibbitz.

I don’t know if I’m ever actually going to wear these boots, but they’re just so fun. They’re from the Koi Footwear x The Rocky Horror Picture Show collection. I mean, just look at that lipstick heel!

On the contrary, here’s a pair of boots I think I’ll get a lot of use out of. These are the Jeffrey Campbell Prepster boots, and they’re the boot version of my beloved pastel loafers from Jeffrey Campbell.

Lastly, I got two pairs of pretty kitten heels. The purple suede ones are from Alma en Pena, and the dark blue ones with the flowers are from Blue by Betsey Johnson, and I wore those at my cousin’s wedding back in June.
