Bold with bold

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know you’re not “supposed” to wear a bold lip and a bold eye look at the same time, but I don’t care. I love a bold make-up look!

Collective haul – beauty (February 2025)

I have a big collective beauty haul to share with you today. I’ve purchased these products from lots of different places, so they won’t be divided into categories. I’ll just show them based on where are got them from.

I picked up the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Plum Twilight and the MAC Colour Excess Gel pencil eye liner in Perpetual Shock! in a Zalando sale. I love these formulas.

In a Sephora sale I bought the Makeup By Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight palette and the Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ lip mask in Salted Caramel. I’d been wanting to try Makeup By Mario eyeshadows, and I got the Ethereal Eyes Moonlight palette at a really good price. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The Fenty Beauty Cheeks Suede powder blushes finally came to Danish retailers, so I picked up two of the shimmer shades; Wattabrat 08 and Tutu Turnt 09. They’re really pretty, and I’ve picked up a few more shades since. I also got the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix shimmer in Hot Chocolit 03.

The next set of products were purchased at Magasin. I got the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch mini cheek & lip set, which includes a dewy liquid blush in Worth and a tinted lip oil in Beloved. I love both of these formulas, and I especially like the tinted lip oil shade.

I also picked up the KVD Beauty Lock It pore-refining primer and two of the KVD Beauty Tattoo pencil liners in the shades Canvas Beige and Radium Green. The primer is nice, but the liners are horrible! I especially wanted the green shade to work so bad, but these liners are so stiff and they won’t show up in the waterline.

I bought the next 7 items from a German website called Purish. I featured the Nabla Freckle Maker in my latest 5 favourites post, so I clearly enjoy that one. And the Essence line n’ STAIN! Tattoo liner in 03 Make A Mauve is a fun product.

The Catrice Glass Like dewy lip tints are so lovely! I picked up the shades 020 Look At Me! and 050 Regrets? Always!.

From Catrice I also got the Blushin’ Charm multi stick in 040 Sparkle Lover, the Melted Sun liquid bronzer in 005 Tan Lines, and the Instant Bright serum concealer in 002N. My favourite of the three so far is the liquid bronzer.

Lastly, I made another Sephora order for these four beautiful blushes. The Huda Beauty Blush Filters are some of my favourite liquid blushes, and I really wanted these two new shades called Intense Guava and Sunset Lychee. I also really wanted to try the new at the time Sephora Collection Colorful Blush Glazes, and I chose the shades 01 Pink Sunset and 02 Morning Blaze. So pretty, right?!

Purple and fuchsia instead

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I could have created a purple and orange make-up look to go with my purple and orange outfit, but I decided to go with purple and fuchsia instead with a few pops of orange in the waterline and the inner corner.

5 favourites – June

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.

Emphasis on the outer corners

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this make-up look goes perfectly with the outfit, and it was fun creating an eye look with emphasis on the outer corners.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm (shade: Fair 1), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder (shade: Fair/Medium) + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – Natasha Denona Contour Sculpting Powder in 01 Light, blush – Colourpop High School Musical pressed powder blush in Playoffs, highlighter – Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Glow Glide Architect highlighter in Moonlit Glow. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Makeup By Mario Ethereal Eyes Moonlight palette (shades: EM 1 + EM 2 + EM 5 + EM 6 + EM 11) + Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Glow Glide Architect highlighter in Moonlit Glow (inner corners), mascara – Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascara in 07 Navy Blue, eyeliner – KVD Beauty Tattoo pencil liner in Canvas Beige. Eyebrows: MAC Shape + Shade brow tint in Taupe + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner in Devoted + Benefit Cosmetics Plushtint moisturizing matte lip tint in 20 Red Velvet)

Sunny yellows and oranges

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Fantasy Cosmetica Monk palette was the perfect palette to wear with this fun floral outfit. Those sunny yellows and oranges just make me happy.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Essence Flawless Skin Trio loose setting powder in 10 + e.l.f.

Grey undertone pastels

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love a pastel make-up look, and I really like how these particular pastels have a grey undertone to them. It makes it a bit of a different pastel look.

(Base: primer – Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm (shade: Fair 1), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f.

Monolith haul (February 2025)

I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. It includes five eyeshadow palettes and four lipsticks. Let’s begin with the palettes.

Angelica Nyqvist, who’s one of my favourite beauty creators, is behind Singe Beauty, and she loves colourful eyeshadows just like I do, so I was very excited to get my hands on her first eyeshadow palette, Galactic Visitor.

I’m not sure why I was drawn to the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Light in Your Eyes palette, since it’s a neutral leaning palette, but I would say that it’s a neutral palette with a twist, and it is really pretty.

I really enjoy Gourmande Girls’ colour stories and formulas, and the Bitten palette is beautiful. I wore it on my eyes here and loved the look.

Another brand who’s colour stories and formulas I love is Fantasy Cosmetica, and how pretty is the Monk palette?!

I love original Coca-Cola, and even though I had heard that this palette wasn’t one of the great quality palettes from Glamlite, I still bought it for the theme. I agree that it isn’t the best palette quality wise from Glamlite, but I still thought the look I created with it turned out nice.

You have seen me wear some of the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks in recent posts, and I really like them. I picked up the shades Bloodstone, Sire, Void, and Ancient from the first launch, and I may or may not have picked up some of the spring shades as well:)
