Collective haul (August 2023)

I have my collective haul from August to share with you today. This haul mainly consists of make-up products.

Let’s begin with the two items that are not make-up. First off, I picked up these dark green cargo trousers from H&M in a sale. I’ve worn them a lot; especially throughout December.

I got this beautiful Guess watch for my 30th birthday in August. I’ve worn it most days since.

Here’s a little mix of products I picked up from the Danish drugstore, Matas. I got a 20% discount as a birthday present, so I decided to buy the bareMinerals Gen Nude Blonzer in Kiss of Mauve, the bareMinerals Gen Nude highlighting blush in Rose Glow, and the Fenty Beauty Match Stix contour skinstick in Soft Amber. These are all very nice products.

I purchased the Clinique Even Better All Over concealer + eraser in WN 01 Flax and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze applicator in a sale.

The last products in this haul are indie products purchased from Monolith. I’ve been wanting to try the Ace Beauté Paletteopoly palette and game ever since it launched, so I was so excited to get my hands on it. I actually played the game and did my make-up based on it just last week. It’s a really fun concept. The palette is stunning whether you play the game or not though.

I also picked up the Unearthly Cosmetics Summer 23 larger mystery box. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a highlighter duo, a satin liquid lipstick, and two lipglosses. The packaging is so cute.

This is the Get Groovy palette, and what a fun colour story. I love a colourful eyeshadow palette, and the Unearthly Cosmetics eyeshadow formulas are great. I’m wearing the eyeshadow palette, the highlighter duo, and one of the lipglosses here.

The Get Groovy highlighter duo is more of a highlighter/blush duo on my fair skin. These shades are super sparkly and fun.

The liquid lipstick is called Gnarly, and it’s a beautiful burnt orange shade. I’m wearing it here. The orange lipgloss is called Psych and the purple lipgloss is called Spaz. Both shades are super pretty and shimmery.

Rosy-toned neutrals

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Now that I think about it, it’s not very often that I wear a rosy-toned neutral make-up look. I do think this is a pretty look though.

Zalando haul (July 2023)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes both clothes, shoes, and make-up.

I loved the Barbie movie and GAP made this cute collab with Barbie, so I picked up the Ken T-shirt.

I wore this retro looking floral shirt here. It’s from Monki, and it was on sale.

The chunky Mary Janes from Monki are some of my favourite heels, so of course I got the burgundy version as well.

I haven’t had a pair of creepers in my shoe collection for a while, and I loved these platform ones with the cute flowers on them. They’re from Lamoda, and they were on sale.

I’m pretty sure these Nike Zoom Air Fire sneakers have been featured on the blog several times. These are really comfortable, and I love the pops of primary colours.

I don’t purchase a lot from Revolution these days, but I thought these Finding Nemo products looked cute. The colour story of the palette is really pretty, and the quality was decent. I haven’t tried the yellowy lip oil yet, but the pink was completely clear and nothing special, so I’ve decluttered that one already.

And of course I had to pick up a handful of products from the NYX and Barbie collab. I got the mini palette in Turn Up The Ken-ergy, the Jumbo eye pencil kit, and the two Smooth Whip lip creams in Dreamhouse Pink and Perfect Day Pink.

The last three products I purchased were the Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascara in 10 Turquoise and two of the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink lipsticks. They’re in the shades 445 Energizer and 460 Optimist.

Strawberry milkshake again

Monolith palette haul (July 2023)

I have an indie palette haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these palette of the Monolith website. As far as I remember I made two separate orders and decided to put them into one haul.

I purchased three Blend Bunny Cosmetics palettes. This is the Surge palette, and I really like the colour story and tones in this palette. The buttom row of neons is so fun. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

The Lure palette was the palette I was the most excited to try from Blend Bunny Cosmetics. This mermaid colour story is just so stunning. I wore a purple look with the palette here.

And the last Blend Bunny Cosmetics palette I picked up was the Sugar & Grunge palette. Another beautiful colour story.

I got two palettes from Unearthly Cosmetics, and they were also my first palettes from this brand (I’ve purchased more since). This is the Dead of Night palette and I got it on sale. I love this colour story as well. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I love the Strawberry Milkshake palette from Unearthly Cosmetics, and I also got this one on sale. Red, pink, and green is such a beautiful colour combo. I wore this palette on my birthday last year.

I just couldn’t skip on this colour story either. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bad Witch Club palette. I also got this palette on sale, and I’m not sure if it is available anymore. I just posted a make-up look with this palette yesterday.

The last palette, I got, is the Sugar Drizzle The Mattes Rainbow Purple palette, and this one was also on sale. I think Sugar Drizzle is mainly known for their all shimmer palettes, but since purple is my favourite colour, I thought this palette would be a great companion palette for all the beautiful shimmer shades I have in my collection.

Colourpop haul – 30% off sitewide (July 2023)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. I made this order back in July when Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale.

I picked up two eyeshadow palettes. The first one is the Enchanted palette, which is a super pretty purple palette. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.

I love red and pink eyeshadow together, so the colour story in the Flirty Talk palette is so beautiful to me. The quality of this palette is great too. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

The collection that came with the Flirty Talk palette also included the cute heart-shaped pressed powder blushes. These are the shades Hot 2 Touch and Cupid’s Bow, and they’re both super fun and pretty.

I really enjoy the Lite Stix highlighters from Colourpop, so when the launched (or re-launched) the Bronze Stix, Blush Stix, and the Lite Stix, I purchased the Sun Plz cheek set, which came with the Bronze Stix in Laguna Beach, the Blush Stix in Mini Me, and the Lite Stix in Glazey.

Lastly, I got two more shades of the Lippie pencils. I got an orange called Absolute Zero, and a fuchsia shade in I Heart This.
