Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to go with a monochromatic red make-up look today, because I haven’t worn many red eye looks this December.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know that this make-up look might be more summery than wintery, but I don’t care, because I really like how this looked turned out.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Doing this make-up look reminded me of why I don’t like black eyeshadow and winged liner looks. I love the idea behind this look, but I’m horrible at doing winged liner even with eyeshadow, so the look turned out to be a bit of a mess. At least up close; from afar it looks okay. And again, if you don’t practice you won’t get any better.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a blue eye look, and these shades (all from the same little quad) look so nice together. And I’m obsessed with this glittery, glossy red lip. It’s so festive!

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had this idea of doing a Christmas neapolitan style eye look, and this is how the look turned out. I think it’s such a fun and festive look, especially when paired with a sparkly red lip and the big, festive jewellery.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m taking a little break from all the green eye looks and decided to play with blue and red today instead. This is an interesting eye look, and definitely fun and different.

I know I recently posted another Jeffree Star haul, but I have one more to share with you, and as you might have seen in some of my recent make-up posts, I’ve already worn most of these products. So here’s what I got from the Blood Money collection.
Of course I had to get the Blood Money palette; I love the Jeffree Star eyeshadow formulas, and I love green eyeshadows. This palette is really pretty, and I’ve already done several looks using this palette (see here and here).
I also purchased three of the new Automatic eyeliners. I decided to get the shades (from top to bottom) A$$ets, Resting Rich Face, and Armored Truck. I’ve tried the two green shades, and I really like them. I’m also really excited to try the blue-brown duochrome one.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another green eyes and red lips look, but they’re all different. I swear.

It’s time for a collective Beauty Bay haul. Some of these products you have already seen me wear, because I just couldn’t wait, but I still thought they needed to be featured in this haul. I have a bit of everything to show you, so let’s get started.
Let’s start with a couple of palettes, both from By Beauty Bay which is a brand, I hadn’t tried before, even though I shop a lot on the Beauty Bay website. This is the NikkieTutorials x Beautybay pressed pigment palette, which has a very fun and interesting colour story. I’ve only used a few of the shades so far, so I haven’t formed a proper opinion about this palette yet, but I’m really excited to play with it some more. As you can see the shade Vla arrived broken, but luckily it’s not a kind of shade that I use often, and I have that kind of shade in other palettes as well.
This is another By Beauty Bay palette, and so far I’m very impressed by the quality of these shadows. It’s the Book of Magic palette, and this colour scheme is right up my alley. I love purple and blue eyeshadows, so I was obviously very intrigued by the look of this palette. I’ve already done two full looks using this palette (se here and here), and I love how they turned out. I haven’t tried any of the purple shades yet, but those are some of the shades that I’m most excited to play with.
And sticking with purple and By Beauty Bay, I’ve also purchased one of their Liquid Crystal eyeshadows in the shade Amethyst. I have actually worn this, but I haven’t posted the look yet, but I can tell you that this liquid eyeshadow is absolutely stunning.
To finish the eye make-up part of this haul, I’ve purchased two of one of my favourite mascaras; the Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies mascara. Maybelline is new to Beauty Bay, and this mascara is pretty difficult to get a hold of, so I was really excited to find them on Beauty Bay.
Now let’s move on to lip products. I saw these NYX Diamond & Ice lip toppers and just thought that they looked so pretty. These are the shades That’s Fire and Power Trip, and they’re both beautiful, glittery, duochrome shades.
Then I got a few items from the Revolution Precious Glamour collection. They’re just so pretty and sparkly. Just take a look at this Bling Bomb lip gloss in the shade Opulent Light Beam. So pretty!
This is the Butterfly lipstick in the shade Extra Fancy from the same collection. I love the butterfly details.
The last item I got from the Revolution Precious Glamour collection is the Illuminator in the shade Million Dollars. How cute is the packaging!?
The second to last item in this haul is a product that I’ve heard many good things about. It’s the Milani Silky Matte Bronzing powder. I got the shade Sun Light, and it’s a pretty cool toned bronzer. I have only worn it a couple of times so far, and I need to wear it some more, because I have a feeling that I’m going to love this bronzer.
And now on to the last item in this haul. I’ve been really curious about those face rollers, so I thought getting this set would be a nice way to try one out and also get a few more items. This is the Brushworks Rose Quartz Roller Spa set and it comes with a roller, a Gua Sha, and a Konjac sponge. I haven’t had much time to try these items out yet, but hopefully I will soon.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to try out the limited edition Snap Shadows palette in Holo-Daze from Fenty Beauty, and I went with the shimmery gold shade and the matte honey yellow shade. I also pulled in some other shadows, and I like this subtle, golden look.
