Murky greens and bright blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had so much fun creating this make-up look. I think the eye look is really pretty; I love the murky green eyeshadows paired with the bright blue mascara and eyeliner. And it’s not everyday that I wear a metallic green lip, but it was perfect with this look.

Colourpop haul –Twilight New Moon and more (January 2025)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the items I picked up from the Twilight New Moon collection plus a handful of other products.

Of course, I had to pick up the Twilight New Moon palette and the two Super Shock shadows included in the collection. The palette is a super pretty warm toned palette (I wore it here), and the Super Shock shadows came as a set with two shades called The Volturi and We Won’t Bite.

I also got all of the lip products from the collection, which is an Ultra Glossy Lip in Runs With Vampires, and the two lip sets including a Lippie pencil and a Power Pout lipstick. The red set comes with a Lippie pencil in Vampire Laws and a Power Pout lipstick in Vampire Royalty, and the brown lip set comes with a Lippie pencil in Hello Biceps and a Power Pout lipstick in Jake.

Besides the products from the Twilight New Moon collection, I also picked up the new at the time Pretty Fresh Lock It In 16HR makeup setting spray and the Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer. I still haven’t tried the setting spray, but I really like the primer.

I was also excited to get my hands on the Liquid Hi-Lite dewy liquid highlighters, which had launch very late last year, I think. I picked up two of the shades; Sugar Donut and Pink Pony.

Lastly, I got the Star Wars palette and the Blotted Lip in Purr on sale. I’ve never watched Star Wars, but I thought the palette looked pretty, and I thought the red Blotted Lip shade looked nice as well.

Beauty Bay haul – sale or 20% off (January 2025)

I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. I made two orders back in January and everything was 20% off or otherwise discounted.

I’d been wanting to try a Viseart eyeshadow palette for so long, so I finally decided to pick one up. I chose the Violette ÉNTENDU palette, because I love purples. It’s not a bad palette, the shimmers are just underwhelming to me. If you’re not into intense, indie shimmers, you might like the Viseart shimmers. I’m wearing this palette on my eyes here.

I used to buy every Jeffree Star Cosmetics palette and collection in general, but I’m not as interested in the brand anymore. I still like some of the products including the eyeshadows, so I did end up getting the Gold Blooded artistry palette. I did a look with it here, and I think the look turned out very pretty.

By BEAUTY BAY released two palettes for the holidays in the end of last year. I picked up the Celestial Charms 20 colour palette back then, but earlier this year I decided to get the Mini Charms 9 colour palette as well. It’s an all shimmer palette, and it’s actually very nice.

And speaking of By BEAUTY BAY, I also had to have their Daydreamer 20 colour palette, which was this year’s Valentine’s Day release from the brand.

I finally decided to try out the Nimya Glowification highlighters as well. In my first order I got the shade Pink Outside The Box.

And in my second order, I picked up another shade of the Nimya Glowification highlighters, and it’s called Beam, Bam, Boom!. From Nimya I also bought the Discophere Glitter Lip Topper in Pink In Bio, and then I got the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream bronzer in Sunkissed and the Trixie Cosmetics Stix cream blush in Pumpkin. Lastly, I purchased two more shades of the Glisten Cosmetics Spectra Lash mascaras; I got Orange Red and Yellow.

Sparkly fairy tale

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Fairy Tale Europe intense color & chrome palette when it launched, and it was perfect for creating this black, pink, and purple sparkly eye look to go with my sparkly outfit.

Leon

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been wanting to create a look around the Oden’s Eye multichrome eyeshadow in M012 Leon (the red shimmer) for ages, and this outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. And I had to pair it with the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipstick in Bloodstone; a lipstick that would be perfect to wear around Christmas time as well.
