Monochromatic green

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post, I really wanted to wear green lipstick, so I created this monochromatic green look, and I quite like how it turned out.

First ever Glam Shop haul (January 2024)

Back in January I made two orders from Glam Shop, which is a Polish indie brand. I’ve heard great things about their eyeshadows, so I picked up seven eyeshadow palettes.

I picked up two 15-pan palettes; the Kwiat Paproci palette and the Słodko Kwaśna palette. The Kwiat Paproci palette is a neutral palette with a twist, and the Słodko Kwaśna palette has a very unique, colourful colour story. I haven’t worn the Kwiat Paproci palette yet, but I loved the look I created with the Słodko Kwaśna palette (which have not been posted on my blog yet).

I also purchased two of their 9-pan palettes; the Niezłe Ziółko palette and the Abstrakcja palette, which is a collab with MsDoncellita, whom I believe is a Polish influencer. I really like the purple colour story with a pop of mustardy yellow in MsDoncellita’s palette, and the green colour story of the Niezłe Ziółko palette is just stunning.

The last three palettes I bought were from the Wakacje ’70 collection, and they are called Muślinowa, Sorbety, and Nugatowa. I love the colour stories of all three palettes; don’t the shimmers look stunning!

Pop of shimmery baby blue

Asos 20% off everything haul (December 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in December, and I got everything 20% off.

I’d had this denim trenchcoat from River Island in my saved items for quite a while, and I decided to finally get it now that everything was 20% off. I wore it out to dinner last weekend, and I thought it looked really good.

Sticking with denim, I also picked up these denim western boots from PULL&BEAR, and I really like them too.

I bought the pink version of these boots back in October last year, and I’ve been wanting to get the blue pair as well, so this was the time.

The last pair of shoes I picked up are these pink leather Chelsea style boots from Asos Design. I’m wearing them in my latest outfit post.

Lastly, I purchased these four beauty products; the Bobbi Brown Luxe Cheek & Highlight palette in Rose Glow, the Clinique Almost Lipstick in 44 Pink Honey, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Squeeze Me lip balm in Vanilla Frosting, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener in Fair.

Here are some closer looks at the face palette and the lipstick.

Matas 25% off make-up haul (December 2023)

I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas in a 25% off sale. Matas has a lot of high end brands as well as affordable/drugstore make-up.

I picked up another shade of the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes. It’s called Big Melons 12, and it’s a lovely bright, summery shade. I also got another shade of the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinsticks. It’s in the shade Amber, and I prefer this shade over Soft Amber.

I also purchased another shade of the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blushes. It’s in the shade Pink Glow. And then I wanted to try out the brand BeautyAct and picked up their Iconic face kit in Light/Medium, which includes a face powder, a highlighter, a blush, and a bronzer.

Lastly, I got some lip products. I bought another shade of the Rimmel Kind & Free tinted lip balms, which I really like. This one is in the shade 005 Turbo Red. I also picked up the Essence Juicy Bomb lip oil set, which includes the following five lip oils: 01 Coconut Crush, 02 Strawberry Star, 03 Mandarin Miracle, 04 Mint Magic, and 05 Cherry Cheer.
