Collective haul (April 2024)

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. It includes a lot of beauty products, ond piece of clothing, and some shoes.

I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners, so I picked up another shade called Chai, which is a beautiful deep brown.

I picked up these four products from Cocopanda, and I got 10% off all four products. I purchased the Milani Cheek Kiss cream bronzer in 110 Hey Honey, the Physicians Formula Bread & Butter bronzer in Toasty, the Physicians Formula Strawberry Jam blush in Strawberry, and the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide lip treatment in Blood Orange Spritz. I haven’t used these products enough to form a proper opinion on them yet, but they sure look cute.

They next products coming up I purchased from Sephora. This is the R.E.M. Beauty Yours Truly makeup set which includes the Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadow in 1954, the On Your Collar plumping lipgloss in Pink Razor, and the Interstellar highlighter topper in Honeymoon High.

From R.E.M. Beauty I also got the Essential Drip glossy balm in Shirley, and I had to pick up one of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch luminous powder blushes and chose the shade Cheer, which is so pretty.

Here’s another set I purchased from Sephora. It’s the Laneige Berries ‘N Choco Kisses lip duo set, which includes a full size Lip Glowy Balm in Berry and a mini Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate. I haven’t tried these out yet.

The last products I got from Sephora are the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 59 and 71 perfume mists (90 ml). I really enjoy both of these scents, though they’re very different.

These last beauty products I got in a Lyko sale. I bought two of the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes (shades: 5 Blazing Blush and 6 City Sizzle), the Catrice Kohl Kajal Waterproof im 180 Red Coral, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Burgundy Haze, and then I got the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 perfume mist (90 ml) as a point shop gift.

The only piece of clothing in this collective haul is this pair of purple sequin trousers from Crás, which I got on sale. They’re so fun.

And lastly, shoes. I picked up these snake print pumps in an H&M sale. They’re quite classic and I don’t have anything else like these.

You know my favourite style of sneakers are Nike Cortez, and I kind of collect them at this point. This navy blue version is a great and very wearable addition to my growing collection.

The last pair of shoes in this haul is this pair of dark cherry Crocs Stomp winter boots. I’m excited to wear these next winter.

Moonshroom

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Lunar Beauty Moonshroom palette on my eyes for the first time, and it was the perfect palette to wear with my lime green, orange, and brown outfit.

First ever Haus Labs haul (March 2024)

Haus Labs finally came to Sephora in Denmark back in March, so I picked up some products from the brand to try out.

For the face, I got the Triclone Skin Tech hydrating concealer in 03 Fair Rosy, the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder highlighter in Peach Quartz, and the Color Fuse powder blushes in Dragon Fruit Daze and Hibiscus Haze.

I’m not sure how I feel about the concealer. First of all, I didn’t pick the best shade; it’s a little light. Second of all, I don’t think the coverage is that great.

The highlighter is quite pretty though, and I picked a shade that I normally wouldn’t pick, but I just thought it would be fun to try something a little different.

The blushes are propably my favourites from the brand that I’ve tried to far. Especially the shade Dragon Fruit Daze, which is such a fun, vibrant pink.

Lastly, I picked up a selection of different lip products. I got the PhD Hybrid lip oil in Hue, the Atomic Shake lip lacquer in Red Coral Shine, and the Le Monster lip crayon in Crimson Matte. I haven’t tried the lip oil yet, but I’ve heard good things about it. The Atomic Shake lip lacquer is a difficult lip product to use. I had to take it off twice, and then watch a Youtube video on how to apply it, before it worked for me, but when you apply it correctly it is very pretty on the lips. And I wore the Le Monster lip crayon to a wedding last month and was very happy with the finish, colour, and wear of the product.

Flower moon

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Flower Moon palette on my eyes, and isn’t it just stunning?! I also love the purple lip.

Neutral sunset

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is not the first eye look I thought I would create with the Lunar Beauty Siren Sunset palette, but I thought the cool toned neutrals went very well with my outfit and a red lip.

Lyko haul – all Essence (March 2024)

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today, and it includes all new at the time Essence products.

Let’s begin with eye products. These are the Essence Meta Glow duo-chrome eye pencils in 01 Chromatic Love, 02 Chromefinity, and 03 Galactic Chrome. I always like trying out duochrome/multichrome products from affordable brands.

I also picked up these three liquid eyeshadows; the Dewy Eye Gloss liquid shadow in 02 Galaxy Gleam and two Luminous Eye Tint liquid eyeshadows in 04 Glazed Candy Cloud and 06 Sparkly Jade.

Let’s move on to some face/cheek products. I got the Banana loose powder, which I don’t know if I like. I think the shade is a little too dark on me. I love the Blush Crush! blushes though, and the Meta Glow highlighter is very nice as well.

Here’s a closer look at the Blush Crush! blushes. I chose the shades 50 Pink Pop and 60 Lovely Lilac, and I’m in love with the Pink Pop shade; it’s such a beautiful glowy, cool pink blush.

The Meta Glow highlighter is a pink-blue duochrome highlighter, and it’s actually very pretty.

Lastly, I purchased some nail polishes. I picked up the Meta Glow transforming top coat, the Glazed Donut transforming top coat, and two of the Glossy Jelly nail polishes in the shades 01 Summer Splash (purple) and 03 Sugar High (red).

Very fun and quite pretty

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think the blue, green, and gold/yellow colour combo on the eyes is very fun and quite pretty.
