Happy December 1 tomorrow. I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here! As always I’m super excited about December and Christmas time; December is my favourite month after all. November was a pretty decent month overall though, and I discovered some new favourites, so let’s talk about those.

Crocs Stomp winter boots (colour: Dark Cherry): I’m so glad I purchased these boots on sale back in the spring, because we’re had some very cold weather in Denmark this past month, and these boots made sure that my feet weren’t freezing.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam satin foundation (shade: 13 Fair Neutral): I’ve mostly been wearing light coverage foundations the past couple of years, but I’d heard good things about this foundation, which has medium buildable coverage, and I really like it. It has a lovely satin finish, and I just wear a light layer.

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder (shade: Light): I purchased this powder back in June, and I’ve actually enjoyed it ever since, so I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post. I love a powder that has a soft radiance to it.

Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer (shade: Soleil Sand): I’ve been reaching a lot for this Haus Labs bronzer lately. It’s simply a beautiful bronzer.

KAYALI Lovefest Burning Cherry I 48 Eau de Parfum: I’ve featured several KAYALI scents in my 5 favourites post, because I just love their scents. I was hesitant to purchase this one though, because cherry isn’t usually my favourite fruity scent. However, I was so pleasantly surprised by this perfume. I think it’ll be a perfect scent for the Christmas season.

Collective beauty haul (July 2024)

I have a rather large collective beauty haul to share with you today. It’s a mix of drugstore, high end etc.

Let’s begin with the bits I picked up from the Essence Hello Kitty collection. I wish that this collection had a few more make-up items, but these things are cute nonetheless. I got the pocket mirror in 01 Make Today Amazing, the nail stickers in 01 Life’s Better With Besties, the mattifying paper in 01 Make The Most Of Today, the caring sheer lipstick in 01 Find Something Sweet In Each Day, and the blushlighter in 01 It’s The Inside That Counts!.

Here’s a closer look at some of the items. Definitely cute.

I also purchased these three products at the same time as I purchased the Essence Hello Kitty collection. I got another Rimmel Kind & Free mascara in 002 Brown Black, because I really enjoy this mascara. I also got another shade of the NYX Butter Gloss Bling lipglosses. It’s in the shade 08 Hu$tla. And most importantly I finally got my hands on the RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra bronzer in Beachwalk Betty, which I’ve already featured in a favourites post.

I was really intrigued by the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix and Trace’d Out pencil lip liners, and I picked up the shade The MVP 10 in both. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the formulas yet though.

Before moving on to a big Catrice collection, I also wanted to show you the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Low Lighters in Unbothered. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to use this product as a highlighter or as a blush, but it’s more of a blush on me. I love the whole Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin line.

Okay, I think the Generation Joy collection from Catrice is so fun. I love the colourful packaging, and there are some nice products in this collection.

First up we have the Magic Skin Perfector in C01 Embrace Yourself and the coloured mascara in C01 Real Rosewood. I’m not sure how I feel about the Magic Skin Perfector yet, but the mascara was quite pretty and unique.

I love the packaging of the lipsticks! They come in three shades; C01 True Tangerine, C02 Real Rosewood, and C03 Bold Berry.

I love that the lipliners come in the same three shades as the lipsticks. These are plumping lipliners by the way.

The Generation Joy collection also included two blushlighters in the shades C01 Flush of Joy and C02 Make Me Blush.

The remaining products in this haul are all from Beauty Bay. I collect the By BEAUTY BAY 20 colour palettes, and I really like the colour story of the Botanical palette.

I already had the Made By Mitchell Curve Case in Light, and I really like it, so I thought it would be fun to try the Lighter version as well.

I also picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Suntouchable! All Set for Sun SPF 30 spray, the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Magic Candy liquid blush in Watermelon Latex, and the Glisten Cosmetics Blooming Blush in Yikes!.

Lastly, I got three products from Trixie Cosmetics. The blush is the Show Pony single blush and the pinky red lipstick is the Love Interest buttercream lipstick. The bright pink lipstick is called Stacy and was a free gift with purchase.

Zalando haul (July 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes two pairs of shoes, some accessories, and some make-up bits.

My love for Crocs is ever growing, and I love the Siren style with the chunky heel. The pink version was on my wishlist for so long, and when they came to Zalando I purchased them immediately.

I bought the Mega Crush sandals from Crocs in a nude pink colour last year, and when I saw that these purple ones were on sale, I had to have them.

I also picked up two 5 pcs of Jibbitz on sale; the Keith Haring ones and some Snow White ones.

I’m still on the hunt for all kinds of brooches and these two from Pieces are so pretty.

I also got this red beaded headband from Pieces. You know I like my headbands.

Now, let’s move on to make-up. I love MAC lipsticks, and I never owned the original Snob lipstick, so I decided to get the new MACXIMAL matte lipstick in Lipstick Snob, which is a similar shade. I also picked up the rereleased frost lipstick in Haku, which came out for MAC’s 40th anniversary.

At a later time I also bought these three lipsticks on sale; the Revlon Colorstay Suede Ink lipstick in Lip Boom, the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in 240 Galactic Mauve, and another rereleased frost lipstick from MAC in the shade Chintz.

Lastly, I purchased one of the new shades of the MAC Glow Play blushes. This shade is called Plush Pepper. I also got the Kiko Milano Sculpting Touch creamy stick contour in 200 Hazelnut. Both products were on sale.

Oden’s Eye Solmåne II Moon Wish collection

Oden’s Eye is one of my favourite indie make-up brands, and I love their original Solmåne II collection, so I was very excited about the Solmåne II Moon Wish collection. I purchased the entire collection which included a palette, three of the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and three of the Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters.

The Solmåne II Moon Wish palette has the same kind of packaging and layout as the original Solmåne II palette, but in a different colour scheme of course. I love the colour story of the original palette and I love the colour story of Moon Wish as well. I mean, look at all those stunning purples and blues.

I think the packaging of the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and the Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters is so pretty.

I really enjoy these blush formulas from Oden’s Eye. Some of the shades are matte and some are shimmery. These shades are called (from left to right) B104 Lilac Mist, B105 Pink Bloom, and W104 Solar Eclipse. They’re all beautiful.

The Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters are some of my favourite shimmery, shifty highlighters in my collection, and I love these new shades. They’re called (from left to right) H107 Moon Tears, H108 Star Legend, and H109 Light Glory. This picture doesn’t do them justice.
