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.

More nice pastels

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.

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.

(Base: primer – NYX The Marshmellow primer, foundation – Missha M Perfect Cover B.B Cream Spf 42 (shade: 21 Light Beige), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + NYX Bare With Me concealer serum (shade: 02 Light), powder – MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder (shade: Translucent).

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!
