I have an indie make-up haul to share with you today. It includes an order I made from Oden’s Eye and an order or two, I think, I made from Monolith. Let’s begin with Oden’s Eye.
Back in the summer, Oden’s Eye released four eyeshadow palettes, each representing a season. This first one is the Spring Älva palette. This is not my favourite colour story of the four, but I do think this look that I created with it came out very pretty.
The Summer Älva palette has such a pretty colour story, but it’s not what I would’ve expected from a summer colour story. However, that’s what makes this collection so fun; all the colour stories are a bit different than what you might have expected. I wore this palette here.
The Autumn Älva palette is probably the palette that fits its season the best based on the colour story. The look that I created with it definitely felt very autumnal.
The last palette in this collection is of course the Winter Älva palette, and I can see winter in this one with all the cool-toned and dark shades, but I think the pops of the lighter and slightly warmer shades is a fun addition to the colour story. I did this pretty look with the palette.
Let’s move on to the palettes I got full price from Monolith. I also picked up a bunch of products in their summer sale. This first palette was new at the time, and it’s the Arttitude Cosmetics Arcana palette. I was a bit hesitant when it came to purchasing this palette, because it almost looks like the palette has a grey filter over it, but I was pleasantly surprised by this teal look I created with the palette.
You know neutrals are not my favourites, however, I do like a neutral palette with a twist, and I think the Gourmande Girls Mocha Moment palette is just that. It has greens and more purple leaning shades, but the first look I did with it was actually with the more straigt up neutrals and the golds, and I thought the look turned out lovely.
This is the Glaminatrix Cosmetics April Fool’s palette that became a reality. The April Fool’s palette was called Tones of Turd, and they also sell this exact colour story in a palette called Tones of Turd. The shades then have turd related names. I didn’t feel like putting turd named shadows on my eyelids, so I got the Grounded palette instead. The colour story really is stunning and very autumnal, and I created this look with it.
Now, let’s move on to the products I got in the Monolith summer sale. I got another Glaminatrix palette, the Nearly Natural palette, which is another neutral palette with a twist, though it’s more neutral than the Gourmande Girls Mocha Moment palette. I did this rosy-toned eye look with this palette.
I think this is the last neutral palette in this haul. Even though the Twilight Saga is very nostalgic to me, I didn’t pick up anything from the Glamlite Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1 collection when it launched. However, I’d heard that the Team Jacob palette had really good quality, so I decided to pick it up in the summer sale. I wore it here.
The Vintage Rose palette is an older palette from Give Me Glow Cosmetics, but they recently made several of their palettes in a smaller format, which I like, because their palettes used to be huge. This is a very pretty and romantic colour story, and I wore it on my birthday this year.
I really liked the Glowing Iris quad from Kaleidos, so I decided to pick up the Twilight Rush quad in the sale. I actually still haven’t worn this palette yet, but I can imagine that you can create a really pretty, smokey look with it.
I’d been considering buying the It’s Bel Cosmetics Tropical Nights palette and Tropical Night blush & highlighter palette many times before, so I finally picked them up in the summer sale. They’re created in collaboration with Bri C Beauty, and both palettes are really fun and colourful. I wore both palettes in this look.
The last few things in this haul are highlighters and a lipstick. Another product that I’d been wanting to pick up for so long is the Unearthly Cosmetics Dreamer Low Light highlighter trio. I thought the shades might be a little deep on me, but so far so good.
I also bought another Low Light highlighter from Unearthly Cosmetics. This one is made in collaboration with Xander and it’s called Ooze. It’s a really pretty green shifty highlighter.
Lastly, I got a lipstick from the Wicked Widow Beauty American Psycho collection. It’s in the shade Murder, and it’s described as a shimmer lipstick. Sadly, it’s not that shimmery on the lips.
