Small Zalando haul (February 2022)

I have a small Zalando haul to share with you today. These are items I purchased back in February.

These are the only clothing items in this small haul. I love the tights from the brand Calzedonia, and I didn’t have any black pairs yet, so I purchased two.

And these are the rest of the items I got; all make-up. From MAC I picked up two more Glow Play blushes and a Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder. All three products were on sale. I also bought the NYX Plump Right Back serum & primer.

Here’s a closer look at the two MAC Glow Play blushes. They’re in the shades Groovy and No Shame!, and they’re more vibrant than any of the other Glow Play blush shades that I own, but they’re both really pretty on the skin.

And I’ve been wanting to try the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder for years and finally picked it up. I got the shade Light Plus. I haven’t used it that much yet, but I like the texture of the powder.

Blue-based purple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wear a lot of purple make-up looks, but it’s not very often that they’re this blue-based. However, I love monochromatic looks, and I think this look turned out really fun.

Cosmetics Blemish Fighting Putty primer, foundation – L’Oreal Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + e.l.f.

Purple and yellow triochrome

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This might be my favourite eye look I’ve done with Natasha Denona Triochrome palette so far; I love the purple and yellow together.

Nice nude lip combo

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A lilac eye look always looks so nice paired with a nude lip and looking at this it is actually a very nice nude lip. I should wear this lip combo again some time.

Small Feelunique haul (mainly sale)

I have a small Feelunique haul to share with you today. Every product is from either Huda Beauty, Wishful, or KAYALI apart from one item, and all products apart from that last one were on sale.

Let’s begin with this Valentine’s Day kit from KAYALI and Huda Beauty. I love my KAYALI Eau de Parfum Rollerball in MUSK | 12 & VANILLA | 28, they’re two of my favourite fragrances, and I’ve been wanted to try the KAYALI Eden Juicy Apple | 01 Eau de Parfum as well. This kit comes with a 10 ml bottle, and it also comes with a Huda Beauty liquid matte liquid lipstick in Lover. The scent is more fruity than the other two KAYALI scents, but still really nice. The lipstick is really pretty too; it’s a nice pinky red shade.

I also purchased the KAYALI Get Rich kit, which includes a 30 ml VANILLA | 28 hand cream and a 10 ml Invite Only Amber | 23 Eau de Parfum. The Invite Only Amber scent is a slightly deeper scent.

I also got a back up of the Wishful Honey Whip peptide face moisturizer, which has become my favourite moisturizer. I use this every morning, and it’s quite pricey, so I’ll definitely try to get it on sale, when I can.

The last item I picked up, which was not on sale, but it’s so affordable anyways, was the Essence Disney Princess Rapunzel eyeshadow brush. I’d already purchased the other brushes from this collection, so I thought I would get the last one as well.

Stunning and shiny

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is one of the most neutral eye looks I’ve done in a very long time, but I’m obsessed with how stunning and shiny my eyelids look thanks to the KVD Beauty Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadow in Hail Surge.

(Base: primers – Tarte Timeless Smoothing primer + Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter (shade: 1 Fair), foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealer – Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Catrice All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Neutral Fresh Beige. Face make-up: bronzer – Catrice Bronze Away to… baked bronzing & highlighting palette in C01 Costa Rica (bottom row bronzer), blusher – Too Faced Love Flush Water Colour blush in California Love, highlighter – Catrice Bronze Away to… baked bronzing & highlighting palette in C01 Costa Rica (bottom row highlighter). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – BH Cosmetics Opalescent palette (shades: Flutter + Grace + Gorgeous) + KVD Beauty Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadow in Hail Surge + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascaras – Maybelline Colossal mascara + MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara, eyeliner – MAC Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Essence lipliner in 14 Femme Fatale + MAC Powder Kiss lipstick in Werk, Werk, Werk)

5 favourites – June

The first summer month has come to an end, and what a month it was. I’ve been working so much in June like most teachers do due to exams. And because I’ve been working so much this whole year actually I have an extra long summer holiday, which is so needed. Weatherwise it’s become summer in Denmark as well, which is lovely, however, some days (like today) are almost too hot. Anyways, we’re here to talk about favourites, and my June favourites are a mixed bag of things, so let’s talk about them.

Blue retro floral pleated trousers: It’ll still be quite a while before I get around to posting the haul including these trousers from Monki, but I’ve been loving them for the past couple of months (so not just in June), so I thought I would give them a shout out. They’re so comfortable, and I love their retro vibe.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless Brightening concealer (shade: Fair 10 C): Here’s another product I haven’t hauled yet, but that I’ve been loving and using so much this past month. I remember not being sure about it in the beginning, but I’m like that with most products; the more I use them and get to know them, the more I usually love them. I typically don’t use this concealer alone, because it has a lighter coverage, but it’s a great brightening base.

MAC Boldly Bare lip pencil: I’ve had this lip pencil for a couple of years now, and it’s my go-to pinky nude lip pencil, but I’ve never featured it in a 5 favourites before, so I thought it was about time. I really like MAC lip pencil in generel though.

Jurassic World: Dominion (film): I’ve featured the previous two Jurassic World films in past 5 favourites posts, so now we come full circle. Was this the best film in the Jurassic World series, probably not, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I especially loved the references to previous Jurassic films, since the original Jurassic Park is my favourite film of all time.

Sun Lolly – Raspberry-Liquorice: My last favourite this month is an edible one. Warmer weather is ice cream and popsicles weather. Sun Lolly popsicles are very common in Denmark, and this month I discovered a new flavour, Raspberry-Liquorice, and both my boyfriend and I are obsessed. You might find that liquorice in a popsicle sounds strange, but it’s so good!

More bright pastels

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Some bright pastels (still not sure if that’s a thing) to match my bright pastel outfit.

(Base: primer – Essence Prime + Studio Multi-Action + Protecting primer, foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + Revolution Eye Bright Illuminating Under Eye concealer (shade: Porcelain), powder – e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder. Face make-up: bronzer – Milk Makeup matte bronzer travel size stick bronzer in Baked, blusher – Made By Mitchell Blursh blusher in Posey Rosey, highlighter – Rare Beauty Positive Light liquid highlighter in Enchant. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Natasha Denona Pastel palette (shades: Brisk + Adriactic + Mint Frost + Illusion), mascaras – Maybelline Colossal mascara + MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara, eyeliner – MAC Powerpoint eye pencil in Mistletoe Mint. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour liquid lipstick in Romeo)

Graphic eyeshadow

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I experiment with different eyeshadow shapes, but for some unknown reason I decided to do a more graphic eyeshadow look this day. It’s not my absolute favourite look, but it was fun trying out something different.

(Base: primer – Maybelline Fit Me Luminous + Smooth primer, foundation – L’Oreal Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – Nars Radiant Creamy concealer (shade: Vanilla) + Jeffree Star Cosmetics Magic Star concealer in C5, powder – e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder. Face make-up: bronzer – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Universe complexion palette (shade: 3 bronzer, Glistening Bronze Light), blusher – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Universe complexion palette (shade: 2 strobe blush, Vibrant Heat), highlighter – Ofra Cosmetics x Nikkietutorials Glazed Donut highlighter. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Juvia’s Place Olori II eyeshadow palette (shade: 4) + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascara – L’Oréal Lash Paradise mascara in Moonlight Noir/Black Navy, eyeliner – MAC Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Essence Stay 8h lipliner in 08 Passionate + Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velvet Trap lipstick in Red Affair)

Three main colours

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to include all three main colours of my outfit in to my make-up look, and more specifically my eye look, and I think the look turned out quite fun. I actually really like pink and green together.

Cosmetics Blemish Fighting Putty primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair) + NYX Born To Glow radiant concealer (shade: Pale), powders – Essence Brighten Up!
