Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve had the GlossGods Cosmetics New Neutrals remixed palette for about a year, and I finally got around to creating an eye look with it. I really enjoy the GlossGods Cosmetics eyeshadow formulas and especially their shimmers.

Collective haul – mainly beauty (January 2024)

I have a collective haul from January to share with you today. Everything is beauty products apart from one pair of earrings.

This is the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork V I Am palette. It’s the first of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork palettes that I’ve purchased, because they’re really expensive, but this one just looks so beautiful, and I got it on sale. I actually haven’t used it yet, but I’m planning on doing so on Saturday, when I’m attending a wedding.

Here’s the rest of the products I purchased at the same time as the Danessa Myricks Beauty palette. I picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver lip oil in Rose Envy, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blush in Comin’ In Hot Pink, and the Nimya by NikkieTutorials Cheeky Flush cream blush in Hey Carl!. Both blushes are super pigmented.

These are the first Buxom products I’ve ever bought. I found them on sale and thought I would give the brand a try.

This is the Xtrovert eye palette. I has a pretty unique colour story, and the quality was actually quite good.

This is the White Russian collection Wanderlust Glow highlighter. I’ve worn it once so far, and to be honest, I don’t remember how I felt about.

And lastly from Buxom, I got two of the Full Force Plumping lipsticks. They’re in the shades Badass and Dreamboat. I haven’t worn these yet, so I don’t know how plumping they are.

I picked up this Clarins Joli Rouge lip lacquer in 761 Spicy Chili at the same time as the Buxom products. The colour looks so pretty, and I like the packaging too.

I usually purchase a lot of the limited edition collections from Essence, but I’m trying to get better at not buying pretty much the whole collection, and instead only picking up the products I’m really interested in. So from the Love, Luck & Dragons collection I got the two lipsticks in 01 Energy Level: Dragon-like and 02 Dragons Dream in Red, and I also got the lip & cheek tint in 01 Wild, But Cute, But Wild. I only bought one product from the Chilly Vanilly collection and it’s the face & body highlighter stick in 01 Glow With The Flow!.

These are the last beauty products in the haul. I bought a back-up of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze and a Burt’s Bees mini Orange Blossom & Pistachio hand cream. I’ve been using the hand cream lately, and it feels nice on the hands, but I think the scent is maybe a little too strong.

I love Maanesten jewellery, and I picked up the Nubia color earrings on sale. They’re just the prettiest little hoops.

Striking colour combo

Collective indie make-up haul (January 2024)

I have a collective indie make-up haul to share with you today. I just love indie make-up, especially eyeshadow palettes.

Ensley Reign Cosmetics recently released an updated version of the Strawberry Moon palette, but I purchased mine back in January, so I’ve got the original version. I can’t believe I haven’t created a look with this palette yet, because the colour story is so bright and beautiful.

This is the Fantasy Cosmetica Rogue palette, which had been on my wishlist for a while. This colour story is right up my street, and I did create a look with this, which will be up on the blog soon.

I love the Blend Bunny Cosmetics eyeshadows, but I was unsure whether to buy the Machina palette or not. However, I’m so glad that I decided to buy it, because the colour story is actually really fun and quite unique. I wore the palette on my eyes here.

This is the first palette I’ve bought from Shroud Cosmetics. Sadly, the blue shimmer shade was broken, when I received the palette, but I managed to sort of press it back into the palette. I wore this palette earlier this week, and I thought the look turned out really pretty.

This is the Simply Posh Cosmetics Fairytale Fairies palette, which is the palette I used to create my eye look in yesterday’s make-up post. I really want to try out more palettes from this brand.

I wore the September Rose Cosmetics Still Pretty palette during my Valentine’s Day inspired week of looks for very obvious reasons. I wore it here.

These last three palettes are all from Jolie Beauty, and I purchased them 20% off from the Jolie Beauty website. I love the colour stories of all three palettes; I wearing the Sorceress palette in my eyes here.

From Jolie Beauty I also got the Holographic lip gloss in As Above and the Air Matte liquid lipstick in Unicorn.

5 favourites – April

I can’t believe that a third of the year has already past and that we’re heading into the last month of spring. We’re finally getting slightly warmer weather in Denmark, and I need a pick-me-up, and sunny, warm weather is a good one at that. I didn’t have that many favourites this past month, but here are some of them.

Red tights: I love colourful tights in general, but red is the colour of tights I’ve worn the most lately. They just add a fun pop of colour to an outfit.

Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light): I actually purchased this product almost a year ago, and I’ve liked it from the beginning, but for some reason I’ve been using it so much this past month. I guess I like the brightening effect and the nice, cooling feeling on the under eye area when you apply it.

Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer (shade: 120N): As you can see, I have two concealer favourites this month. This one I purchased earlier this month, so I haven’t hauled it yet, but I’ve really enjoyed using it. I think it blends out beautifully, and a little product goes a long way.

Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners: I think lip liners used to be underrated in the make-up world, but people have finally figured out how important they are. I love a lot of different brands, when it comes to lip liners, but one of my top favourites is Anastasia Beverly Hills, and as you can see I have a lot of ABH lip liners.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Squeeze Me lip balm in Vanilla Frosting: I wear lipstick or the like most of the time, but when I don’t I like to wear lip balm, and I’ve been loving this little squeezy number from e.l.f. Cosmetics. It really does smell like vanilla frosting, and it smells so good.

MAC Lovestruck Luck collection (January 2024)

For years now, MAC has launched a Lunar New Year collection in January and this year was no different. The packaging on these collections are usually very pretty, and this year’s packaging is so stunning.

I’m obsessed with the packaging on the Eye Shadow X 6: Lovestruck Luck palette. The colour story of the palette is really pretty, and the quality was nice. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here. Most of the other products in this haul are also featured in the make-up look.

This is the Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder in Translucent. This powder is a permanent product in the MAC line, but here it comes in limited edition packaging. I really like this powder.

I love when MAC includes limited edition blushes of any kind in their collections. This collection includes two powder blushes in the shades Full Of Wonder and Power To You!, and both shades are stunning.

I think this is a new product from MAC. It’s the Molten Metal highlighter in Many Moons Aglow. It’s a liquid highligher in a pretty golden champagne shade.

I always have to pick up a lipstick from MAC’s limited edition collections, and this collection featured the Lustreglass Sheer-Shine lipsticks. I chose the shade Sweeter Cinnamon.
