Colourpop haul – 25% off sitewide + Toy Story (March 2025)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I picked up some items in a 25% off sitewide sale, and I also picked up the entire Toy Story collection.

I thought I would try out one of the multichrome Shadow Stix from the Twilight New Moon collection and picked up the shade It’s Always Been Him. It’s really pretty. I also wanted to try one of the shimmery So Juicy plumping gloss balms, which weren’t on sale. I got the shade Cyberstar, which I’ve used several times.

When the Bratz collection originally launched, I picked up the Jade lip set, but I also really liked the look of the Cloe set. It includes a Lippie pencil and a Lippie Stix both in the shade Angel.

I love the BFF Crème gel liners, so I got two more shades in the sale; Peach Fuzz and Crystal Crush.

The Colourpop Super Shock highlighter is one of my favourite highlighter formulas, so I purchased two shades I was missing from my collection; Honeymoon and Monster.

I’ve already mentioned the Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm in a 5 favourites post, and I picked up two shades, Fair 1 and Fair 3, and I’ve been using them together. This is such a good foundation stick.

I love when Colourpop does Disney collabs, and the Toy Story collection is really cute. This is the Toys Are Here palette, and I wore it on my eyes here.

The Toy Story collection also included a set of three Jelly Much shadows in the shades Hamm It Up, Beary Good Vibes, and It’s Forky!.

I don’t love the volumizing mascara formula from Colourpop, but this colour Roar is fun though.

I really like the Ultra Glossy Lips from Colourpop, and aren’t these Toy Story ones just cute?! They’re called (from left to right) Favorite Deputy, Buzzin’ About, Peep This, and Yeehaw!.

The last product in the Toy Story collection was The Chosen One sour candy lip mask. I really enjoy the lip masks from Colourpop and a sour candy scent sounds delicious.

Indie make-up haul (March 2025)

I have an indie make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased one palette from Nomad Cosmetics, and the rest I got from Monolith.

Nomad Cosmetics is a new brand to me this year, and I’ve been really enjoying their palettes, so when I saw the new launch at the time, the Fairy Tale Europe intense color & chrome palette, I just had to have it. Being from Europe, I know of all of these fairy tales, and I love the colourful shimmers in this palette. The neutral mattes are a bit boring to me though, but I did create this pretty look with the palette.

Another brand whose eyeshadows I’ve been enjoying is Arttitude Cosmetics. This is the Ink & Roses palette, and I think it’s such a great colour story. I wore it on my eyes here.

Blend Bunny Cosmetics create great eyeshadows as well, and the Beauty Below palette is just so dark and moody and stunning. I did manage to create a not-so-dark look with the palette though.

The last items in this haul are from Simply Posh Cosmetics. I’d been kicking myself for not getting the original Cozy Cabin palette, so when it came back, I picked it up immediately. I love a holiday themed palette, and this colour story is just so yummy. I created this look with it.

I also had to get the Snow Angel palette from Simply Posh Cosmetics, because I love cool tones and I love pastels. This whole palette has a bit of a grey undertone to it, which might also be visible in this look I did with it.

Lastly, I picked up two liquid blushes from Simply Posh Cosmetics, which launched at the same time as the Snow Angel palette. The shades are called Frosty and Berry Cold.
