Fresh and summery

Lookfantastic haul (January-February 2023)

I have a collective Lookfantastic haul to share with you today. This haul consists of products from Natasha Denona, L’Oréal, and MAC.

I was so excited about this lip product launch from Natasha Denona since my go-to lip colour is red. These are the I Need A Rouge Lip Stylettos in Gigi and Emilia and the I Need A Rouge lip crayon in Emilia (I had already picked up the lip crayon in Gigi from Sephora). I absolutely love the formula of both the lipsticks and the lip crayons.

From Natasha Denona I also picked up the Pastel Plexi Glow highlighter and a lash guard, and from L’Oréal I got the Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear Matte bronzer in 250 Light.

Here’s a closer look at the highlighter and the bronzer. The highlighter is a golden champagne colour even though it might look more pastel, and the bronzer is such a nice matte bronzer.

Lastly, I picked up four shades of the MAC Locked Kiss Ink Lipcolours. I wore the dark purple here, and it’s called Sardonic. The yellow orange is called Yes, the pinky red is called Gossip, and the grey is called Stoic. I thought Sardonic was a bit patchy, but I loved the shade Yes. I’m excited to try the other two colours as well.

Legit blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I just love a blue eye look, and the blue mascara is the icing on the cake.

Burgundy and rosey tones

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I thought it was time to do a neutral make-up look again and went for burgundy and rosey tones to match my shirt.

Asos 20% off + sale haul (January 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. All of these items were on sale, and there’s a mix of clothes, accessories, and make-up. Let’s begin with clothes.

I love a good sweater vest, and I’d had my eye on this one from Asos Design Men. I love a Disney print, and I think the green and blue looks great together.

You can never go wrong with a colourful T-shirt. This one is from JJXX.

Moving on to accessories. Topshop makes great shoes and great bags, and this multicoloured holographic bag is no exception.

I love a hat even though I don’t wear them all the time. This one from Asos Design, and I have actually already worn it. I wore it here.

This might be a slightly boring purchase, but man, I’ve worn this big black hair clip from Asos Design a lot!

Let’s just talk about all the jewellery pieces at once. I thought the Halloween selection from Asos Design was fun, and they were very heavily discounted. The golden, pearly earrings from SVNX are super pretty, and the little star and moon hoops with amethysts from Kingsley Ryan has come in very handy. The simple braided silver ring is also from Kingsley Ryan.

And now let’s move on to make-up. I picked up another e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow stick, and this one is in the shade Blue Steel. I’d heard great things about the Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer, so I picked it up in the shade Light. I’d also heard good things about the Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint, however, the shade I picked up, which is Warm Fair, is not a great match for me.

How stunning is this Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying face palette – Light/ Medium! I’d been wanting it for a while, so I was very happy to get it on sale.

Lastly, I got two lip products from the Valentine’s Day launch from MAC. I picked up the Lady Danger lipstick, which is a shade I’ve always wanted to try, and it is stunning. I also picked up the Glow Play lip balm in Bouncing Bloom.

All pastel with all pastel

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. An all pastel outfit calls for an all pastel make-up look.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator (shade: 20 Fair Neutral), concealers – Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – Colourpop Super Shock bronzer in Get Sandy, blusher – Colourpop Super Shock blush in Prenup, highlighter – Colourpop Super Shock highlighter in Spellbound. Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Ignite, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Colourpop Winx Club Just Like Magix palette (shades: Charmix + Lynphea + Solaria + Nature’s Symphony + Domino + Pure Magic), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes universal volumizing mascara, eyeliners – MAC Powerpoint eye pencil in Mistletoe Mint + NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I didn’t have a ton of time to do my make-up that day, but even though this look is quite simple, I still think it turned out nice.

Collective Cocopanda haul (January 2023)

I have a collective Cocopanda affordable beauty haul to share with you today. The vast majority of the products are from Catrice and NYX. Let’s begin with the Catrice stuff.

I was very excited to try the newest foundation from Catrice. It’s called the Nude Drop Tinted Serum foundation, and I got the shade 004N. So far I really like it. I also picked up the Cheek Lover marbled blush in 010 Dahlia Blossom and two of the Plump It Up Lip Boosters in 030 Illusion Of Perfection and 070 Fake It Till You Make It.

Here’s a closer look at the blush. It’s a super pretty, glowy blush.

And here’s a close up of the Plump It Up Lip Boosters in 030 Illusion Of Perfection and 070 Fake It Till You Make It; such fun shades.

The only product I purchased that is neither Catrice nor NYX is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, which is still my go-to make-up remover.

I got the Catrice Clean ID Transparent brow fixing gel as a free gift with my Catrice order.

Now, let’s move on to the products I purchased from NYX. I got the NYX Bare With Me Blur Tint foundation in the shade 02 Fair, which is actually a little light on me. Then I also picked up three of the Fat Oil Lip Drips and three of the Smooth Whip matte lip creams.

The Fat Oil Lip Drips are in the shades 04 Thats Chic, 05 Newsfeed, and 07 Scrollin. I haven’t worn all the shades yet, but I really like the formula.

The shades of the Smooth Whip matte lip creams are 20 Pom Pom, 19 Snuggle Sesh, and 16 Feelings. I haven’t tried any of these yet, but the colours are so fun.

Simple purple
