Colourpop haul – Beauty and The Beast + more (April 2024)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the Beauty and The Beast collection, some sale items and more.

I’m pretty sure this is the entire Beauty and The Beast collection, which includes an eyeshadow palette, a Super Shock highlighter, two pressed powder blushes, two lip kits, and a lip mask.

This is what the eyeshadow palette looks like. I think this is a very pretty palette that captures the film and the characters of Belle and the Beast very well. I wore it here together with some of the other products from the collection.

The two pressed powder blushes come in the shades Ms. Potts and Chip, and both shades are lovely.

The Super Shock highlighter is in the shade Special Guest. I don’t particularly like this huge packaging, but I love the Super Shock highlighter formula.

These are the two Lux lipstick kits in Great Adventure (Belle’s kit) and Break the Spell (Beast’s kit). The Great Adventure kit comes with the Not So Odd Lux lipstick and the Bookworm Ultra Glossy lip, and the Break the Spell kit comes with the Last Petal Lux lipstick and the Kind & Gentle Ultra Glossy lip. I really like both of these lip kits.

And of course the collection had to include a cute, on theme lip mask, and this one is called the Enchanted Rose lip mask.

And sticking with the Disney Princess theme I picked up the Disney Designer collection It’s A Princess Thing palette on sale.

The only other palette I got (which wasn’t on sale) is the So Elemental palette, which is a beautiful cool-toned blue palette.

I don’t know anything about Naruto, but I love the Super Shock shadows, and I thought this Ninja Academy Super Shock shadow set looked really cute. It comes with the three shades (from left to right) Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

I also picked up a couple more Super Shock shadows. These are in the shades Flower Child and For Real.

Speaking of Super Shock, I also love the Super Shock blushes, so I picked up these three shades called (from left to right) Growth Flirt, Drop of a Hat, and Bardot.

I hadn’t tried this more glowy version of the pressed powder blushes, so I purchased these two shades called Morning Vibes and Dancing Queen.

Lastly, I wanted to try the So Juicy plumping gloss balms and picked up the She’s So Juicy set, which includes the shades (from left to right) Guava Glaze, Dolled Up, and Berry Spritz. So far I like these.

Unexpected warm yellow

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love a purple make-up look, and the warm yellow in the crease of the eye adds something fun and unexpected to the look.

Scorpio

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Scorpio palette for my eye look. I don’t use my Jeffree Star Cosmetics palettes as often as I used to these days, but I still really like the formula of the eyeshadows, and I think this Scorpio eye look turned out very pretty.

Purish haul (April 2024)

I have a beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products from the German site Purish.

The Lunar Beauty Moonshroom collection is one of the main reasons I made this order. I think this palette is so stunning. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I also got the Moonshroom highlighter palette, which is such a stunner as well.

This is the Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette, which is another palette I had my eye on. I really enjoyed the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade palette, so I was hoping that this palette would have the same great quality.

From Lethal Cosmetics I also picked up the Magnetic face powder in Pansy and two of the Haze plush lip creams in the shades Leeward and Hydra. I really like the glowy blushes from Lethal Cosmetics, and this Pansy shade is so fun. I haven’t tried the Haze plush lip creams yet.

Lastly, I got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Buddies holiday kit, which includes a mini of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal and the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade It Girl. I already own a full size of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal, which I love, and I’ve got another shade of the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed blushes, so I knew that they were good. They’re some of the most long lasting cream blushes I’ve tried.

Harvest moon

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette is a very dark, autumnal looking palette, but I thought the colour story matched this outfit so well.

MAC sale haul (April 2024)

I have a small MAC haul to share with you today. I purchased these products in the spring sale.

I picked up three face products; the Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer in NC15, the Extra Dimension blush in Fairly Precious, and the Glow Play blush in That’s Peachy. So far, I’m not sure about the concealer. I don’t think the coverage is that good, but I need to try it out some more. I love both the Extra Dimension blush formula and the Glow Play blush formula, and these colours are beautiful.

Besides the three face products I also got four lipsticks. I purchased three of them and got the last one as a free gift with purchase. The shades are (from left to right) Spirit (satin), Brick-O-La (amplified), Sweet Sakura (cremesheen), and You’re Buggin’ Lady (Powder Kiss). The Powder Kiss lipstick was the free gift.
