Drugstore make-up haul

dsc_6511

I haven’t done a drugstore make-up haul in so long, and this is not a big haul, but I thought I would share it with you anyways.

Essence is one of those really affordable brands that has really impressed me. I often check out the Essence display at my local supermarket, and I believe these melted chrome eyeshadows are a newer product. I swatched them on my hand and thought they looked really pretty, so I picked up the following three shades (from left to right); 01 zinc about you, 02 iconic, and 05 lead me. I’ll be doing a first impressions post on these eyeshadows soon.

I also decided to give the Essence make me brow a try. It’s a tinted brow gel en the shade 02 browny brows.

Lastly, I purchased this metallic lipstick from Maybelline. It’s in the shade 30 Molten Bronze, and it’s such a unique shade. I’m really excited to try this on. It’s the kind of shade that could look either really cool or really bad.

Triggered

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in the shade Triggered is the vampy lipstick of my dreams. It’s the perfect mix of purple and brown, and the gold glitter makes it even more special.

Gold and cranberry

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit on New Year’s Eve. This is probably not a typical New Year’s Eve look (it might be a bit more christmassy), but I really wanted to play with gold and cranberry shades.

Glittery goodness

Funfetti

DSC_6462rediDSC_6454redi

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing the Jouer Funfetti lip topper on top of my favourite lipstick, and I think it looks beautiful and very festive. As I wrote in my recent make-up haul, I’m not very fond of lipgloss, but this gloss was very comfortable to wear.

Beauty Bay bragging rights haul

Leading up to Black Friday, Beauty Bay had a ‘bragging rights’ sale, and I bought a few things.

DSC_6419DSC_6420

I finally decided to buy the Jeffree Star Androgyny eye shadow palette. Jeffree Star eye shadows are some of my favourites, and the shades in this palette are gorgeous. I’m really looking forward to create lots of different eye looks using this palette.

DSC_6413

I already have one of these Milani blushers, and it’s one of my favourite blushers, so I decided to get a second shade. I chose the shade Blossomtime Rose, which is a warm peachy colour with a nice sheen to it.

DSC_6414

Lastly, I bought one of the Jouer Long-Wear Lip Toppers in the shade Funfetti. I’m not into lipgloss, but this just looked so pretty with all the different colours of glitter, so I thought I would give it a go.

5 favourites – November

It’s the last day of November which means that my favourite month starts tomorrow. I’ve been waiting for December and Christmas for so long now, and I can’t wait! You’ll be seeing a lot of christmassy outfits and hauls on my blog in December, but before we get into that let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of November.

Brun pelsjakke - second hand

Brown faux fur coat: It’s gotten a lot colder outside, so I’ve been wearing my winter coats lately. My most worn coat this past month is this faux fur coat that my sister found years ago at a second hand store. It’s just so nice and snuggly.

Blå slim mom jeans m. Mickey Mouse print - H&M

Mickey Mouse jeans: These jeans are just awesome. The fit is great, and I love the Mickey Mouse print. I’m wearing them here and here.

Blå glimmer sock boots m. chunky hæl - Monki

Blue glitter boots: This style of boot from Monki is so good! Last month I featured the checked version of these in my 5 favourites, and I love these blue glitter ones just as much.

Lilla hue

Purple beanie: I find it difficult to find the perfect beanie, but I think I might have found it in this purple Monki one. It fits well, and the colour is stunning.

elf HD undereye setting powder

e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder in Sheer: I’ve never been a huge fan of loose powders (maybe I just don’t know how to use them properly), but I’ve really enjoyed using this undereye setting powder from e.l.f. It doesn’t feel cakey or dry on the skin, and it keeps my concealer crease-free all day. And it’s affordable too.
