Jeffree Star Cosmetics Star Wedding collection

We don’t see a lot of make-up collections from Jeffree Star Cosmetics these days, so when he launched his Star Wedding collection I was intrigued, even though it’s a very neutral collection colourwise.

I had to get the Star Wedding palette. Mine sadly came broken; the shade Cut The Cake (the second shade in the first row) was shattered, and it was all over the palette, but I managed to save at lot of the shade and sort of clean up the palette. Even though this is a neutrals heavy palette, I really like the different tones of neutrals mixed with pops of berry and grey. I created this berry look and this neutral look with this palette.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics also launched a brand new product with this collection; the Liquid Star Shadows. I picked up two shades; Toss My Bouquet and Behind The Veil. Toss My Bouquet is a matte dusty rose shade and Behind The Veil is described as a glittery white with iridescent/multi coloured pearl. I’m wearing both of these on my eyes today, and they were very easy to work with. The glittery shade pulls quite green though, but it’s very pretty and reflective.

I hadn’t gotten a new shade of the Velour liquid lipsticks in what seems like forever, so I picked up one of the shades from this collection. It’s called Down The Aisle and it’s described as a rust brown nude.

The last product I picked up from the collection was the Wedding Proof Makeup Setting Spray. I haven’t tried it yet, because I’m trying to use up the setting sprays I’ve got open right now, but I love trying out new setting sprays.

Feelunique 20% off haul (birthday code)

For my birthday in August, I got a 20% off birthday code from Feelunique, so I decided to take advantage of that and pick up a couple of products, I’d been wanting to try.

I picked up three powders. A bit excessive, I know, but I just love powders. I purchased the Sigma Beauty Soft Focus setting powder in Vanilla Bean, the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Prime & Stay finishing powder in Fair/Light. So far my favourite is definitely the Laura Mercier powder: it’s been one of my go-to undereye setting powders lately.

I’ve been wanting to try the Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator for so long, so I finally picked it up. I got the shade 20 Fair Neutral, which is a really nice shade on me, and so far I like this product. In my most recent 5 favourites post, I featured the Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium, so I obviously love that product. Another product I’ve also been enjoying is the NARS Bronzing Cream in LAGUNA 1; it’s such a nice cream bronzer. And the last item I decided to get was the Wishful Yo Glow Gingerbread Latte Enzyme Scrub. I’d been wanting to get it since last Christmas, and I’m really excited to finally give it try.

‘My Dream’ palettes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the eyeshadow palette and cheek palette from the Natasha Denona My Dream collection (which I haven’t hauled yet), and as always with Natasha Denona products I love how both palettes performed.

Monochromatic = cohesive

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As you might have noticed, I love a monochromatic make-up look. It’s one of the easiest ways to create a cohesive look.

Sephora haul (August)

It’s been a while since I last made a Sephora order, but there was a few products I wanted to try, and then I also picked up a few outlet items.

The main reason why I made this order was because I wanted to try out some more Rare Beauty products. More specifically, I wanted to try the Warm Wishes Effortless bronzer and the new Kind Words matte lipstick and lip liner. I also got a free sample of the Always An Optimist pore diffusing primer.

The Warm Wishes Effortless bronzer is apparently very popular and it had been out of stock for a while, so when it was back in stock, I picked it up in the shade Power Boost, which is the lightest shade. So far I really do like this bronzer. The stick is very easy to use, and it blends out beautifully.

I love that the Kind Words matte lipsticks and lip liners come in matching shades. I picked up both in the shade Talented, which is such a pretty brown nude. I’m wearing both here. I like the packaging too.

The last three products I purchased was from the outlet section. I picked up the Natasha Denona I Need A Nude lipstick in 10NB Andrea, which is a very pretty nude shade. I also picked up the Fenty Beauty Slip Shine sheer shiny lipstick in Vamps Who Brunch, which is a fun deep shimmery purple. An lastly, I got the Too Faced Killer Liner gel eyeliner in Killer Turquoise, because I wanted to try out the formula, and I do really like it.

Huge compliment

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had a midwife appointment that day and the midwife loved my eyeshadow and asked me if I was a make-up artist. What a huge compliment.

Devoted to danger

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really wanted to try out my new MAC Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick in the shade Devoted To Danger, which is a stunning yellow-based red, so I paired it with a neutral eye look to let the lipstick be the focus of the look.

Asos haul (20% or 25% off everything)

This is an Asos haul from August. I got everything either 20% off or 25% off. It’s a mix of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories, and make-up.

I only have two clothing pieces to show you, and you’ve already seen me wear them in outfit posts. Both of these beautiful dresses are from COLLUSION.

I also purchased two pairs of shoes both from Asos Design. I’m really excited about the floral loafers; I think they’re so cute and perfect for autumn. The mule wedges are more summery, but I just loved the colours.

Let’s move on to accessories. I love a bucket hat, however I haven’t really worn them this past summer. I still thought this multicoloured one from Asos Design was cute. The sunglasses are also from Asos Design and so are three out of the four pairs of earrings as well. The last pair of earrings are from Vintage Supply. I just love fun sunglasses and earrings.

And now on to make-up. I haven’t heard or seen anything about the Rimmel Lasting Finish compact foundation, but I thought I would give it a try. I picked mine up in the shade 01 Fair Porcelain, and so far I really like this product. I also decided to get the I Heart Revolution x Disney Fairytale Jelly Eye Shimmer in Pua (from Moana) to try another formula of eyeshadow, however, I haven’t worn it on my eyes yet.

These last make-up products are probably the most interesting to me. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m really excited to try the MAC Fix+ Stay Over setting spray. I picked up the mini size. I’ve also been wanting to try the new MAC Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks and picked up the shade Devoted To Danger. I’m wearing it in my next make-up post, and I loved it. In my 5 favourites post that I posted yesterday, I featured the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer, so you now how much I enjoy that product. And lastly, I picked up a couple more shades of the e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow sticks. They’re called Rich Amethyst and Copper Chic.
