Enjoyment

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really miss doing my make-up every day, so when I find time to do it, I enjoy it even more than usual.

Collective Lyko haul (October)

I have a collective Lyko haul to share with you today. This haul includes a bunch of different brands and types of products.

I’ve heard such good things about the Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primers, so I wanted to try one out. I got the shade Persuade, and so far I’m really liking this product, maybe because it does a similar thing to the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, which is my favourite eyeshadow primer.

I’ve been wanting to try the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Perfector 4-in-1 Glow Makeup for quite a while. It’s supposed to be a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, however, I do think that this product has a bit more coverage, and I really like it. I purchased the shade 00 Fair Light.

I’ve been loving the Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium, and I thought I would try a colour correcting product from the drugstore, so I picked up the Catrice Under Eye Brightener in 010 Light Rose. So far I like it, however, I still prefer the Sigma Beauty one.

I missed out on the Essence Pure Nude highlighter, but this Essence Make Me Glow baked highlighter in 10 It’s Glow Time! is supposed to be very similar. It’s a very pretty, more subtle highlighter.

I mainly picked up the Smashbox Be Legendary Monster of Horror lipstick in Dracula because of the packaging and the Halloween theme, but it’s also a pretty red shade.

I picked up three of the Essence Hidden Jungle Effect nail lacquers. They’re in the shades (from left to right) 06 Magical Emerald, 05 Forbitten Berry, and 02 Misty Shadows. I usually really like Essence nail polishes, so I’m excited to try these.

I also got this Lift Up Brow Styling Brush from Catrice. I think it’ll be nice to use with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze.

The last three items I purchased were the Essence Nail Art Duo Designer, the Essence Prime Like A Boss eyeshadow base, and the Kokie Cosmetics Soft Glow highlighter in Rosy.

I also got a By Lyko Moisturising Serum as a free gift with purchase. I haven’t tried Lyko’s own brand yet, so it’ll be interesting to try this serum.

Not intensely colourful

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This was the first time I wore make-up after having my daughter. It’s not the most intensely colourful look, but pretty nonetheless.

Glossy, soft red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love red and pink together, and how pretty is this glossy, soft red lip!

(Base: primers – Essence Catching Clouds Cloud-touch Mousse Primer in 01 Up On Cloud + MAC Strobe Cream (shade: Pinklite), foundation – Essence Fresh & Fit foundation (shade: 05 Fresh Porcelaine), concealers – Catrice Under Eye Brightener in 010 Light Rose + L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Catrice All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Neutral Fresh Beige.

e.l.f. Cosmetics haul

I have a small e.l.f. Cosmetics haul to share with you today. e.l.f. Cosmetics has come out with lots of great products lately, and I’m really impressed by the stuff in this haul.

I like the e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow sticks, but I like these No Budge matte shadow sticks even more. These are in the shades Vintage Suede, Lava Lamp, and Bombshell.

Another great cream shadow product from e.l.f. Cosmetics is the No Budge cream eyeshadows. I picked up the shades Golden Rays and Wildflower, and they’re so pretty.

I love the original Putty blushes, and I’ve been wanting to try the Luminous Putty blushes for so long. These are the shades Belize and Isla Del Sol. I’ve only worn Belize so far, but it was really pretty on the skin.

The last product I picked up is the Holy Hydration! face cream in the fragrance free version. I’ve heard good things about this face cream, and I’m excited to try it.

Green and blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had so much fun doing this make-up look. I really wanted to wear the Oden’s Eye x Angelica Hela eyeshadow palette again and thought I would pair the green eye look with a blue lip to match my jumper.

(Base: primer – Maybelline Instant Anti Age Perfector 4-in-1 Glow Makeup (shade: 00 Fair Light), foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealers – Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair) + NYX Born To Glow radiant concealer (shade: Pale), powder – Fenty Beauty Pro Filt´r Instant Retouch setting powder in Butter. Face make-up: The Balm Take Home The Bronze bronzer in Oliver, blusher – MAC Mineralize blush in Humour Me, highlighter – Essence Make Me Glow baked highlighter in 10 It’s Glow Time!.

Not created equal

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The eyeshadow palettes in the Catrice Disney Villains collection are not created equal. I loved the Cruella palette (which I wore here), but the Maleficent palette was disappointing.

Cocopanda 10 year birthday haul – 20% off

I have a Cocopanda haul to share with you today. I made this order when they had their 10 year birthday sale, where a lot of products were 20% off.

Let’s begin with skin care and base make-up. I picked up the Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Pore Minimizing Serum, a back-up of the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum in the shade 0,5-2 Very Light, which is one of my favourite foundations, and I also picked up a back-up of the Clinique All About Eyes, which is my go-to eye cream.

I had to get some more of the NYX Ultimate Glow Shots liquid eyeshadows. I purchased the shades 06 Golden Goji, 11 Clementine Fine, and 2 Raspberry Rave.

For lips I purchased the Essence Holo Bomb Shiny lipgloss in 01 Iced Gloss, the NYX This Is Milky Gloss in Cherry Milk Shake, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Lipstick in Butterscotch.

I also picked up the MAC Kiss It Twice Powder Kiss Liquid Duo: Best Sellers. It comes with the two shades Mull It Over and Fashion, Sweetie. I love this liquid lipstick formula.

Cruella

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. At some point I’ll be hauling the Catrice and Essence Disney Villains collections, but I’ve already worn many of the products, and some of my favourites so far are the liquid highlighters and the Cruella eyeshadow palette from Catrice, which I’m wearing in these pictures.
