Colourpop Disney Tangled and more haul (April 2025)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. It mainly consists of the Disney Tangled collection, but I also picked up a few other things.

I picked up the entire Disney Tangled collection, because Tangled is one of my favourite Disney films. My daughter has watched it several times lately, which makes me very happy!

The Best Day Ever palette has really pretty packaging, and the colour story is very Tangled, however, this is not the best eyeshadow quality that Colourpop has done. I created this look with it.

The Dewy liquid highlighters in Mother Gothel and I See the Light are my favourite products from this collection. These highlighters are so pretty, and I’ve used both shades several times.

I’m not the biggest lipgloss person, but I do like the Ultra Glossy Lips from Colourpop. The Tangled collection included three shades; Rapunzel, Flynn Ryder, and Pascal.

The product I was the least interested in from this collection was the Glitterally Obsessed glitter body gel in Floating Lights. It’s really pretty, but these glitter gel products tend to crease on my eyelids.

The accessories in the Tangled collection are so cute! I love the Pascal hair clip, and I’ve actually worn it several times. The little foldable hair brush is cute too.

The other items I bought this time around were three of the new shimmery weightless liquid blushes. I chose the shades Sweet Treat, I Love It, and City Walk, and I love these shades and the formula.

Lastly, I got a back-up of the Colourpop Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm in the shade Fair 1. I’ve mentioned before how much I like this product.

Rosy neutrals and red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I wear a rosy neutral eye look, but I think this look turned out really pretty. And I had almost forgotten how much I love the Natasha Denona I Need A Rouge lip crayon and lip styletto in the shade Gigi; it’s such a good red lip colour!

Indie make-up haul (April 2025)

I have a rather large indie haul to share with you today. I made an order from Nomad Cosmetics when they had a 25% off everything sale, and I also made two orders from Monolith, one of them being from their Easter sale.

I picked up three palettes in the Nomad Cosmetics sale, the first one being the Royal Europe intense color & chrome palette, which includes beautiful jewel tone mattes and five stunning multichromes. I wore the palette on my eyes here.

I also got the Chicago Speakeasy intense color & chrome palette, which has a mix of purples, greens, and neutrals. I created this look with it.

The last Nomad Cosmetics palette, I bought, was the Polar Express intense eyeshadow palette. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a holiday/Christmas themed palette. I’ve actually created two looks with this palette; this one and this one.

In my first Monolith order, I picked up a blush palette, three eyeshadow palettes, and a liquid lipstick. The blush palette is the Bellabeautébar Baked Blush palette, which was actually on sale. To be honest, I’d kind of forgotten that I have this palette, but it’s really pretty, so I need to bust it out again.

I was unsure if I should get the Bellabeautébar Green Goddess palette, but I ended up getting it. I was a bit disappointed in this palette when I created this look, but I need to create more looks with it to form a proper opinion on it.

I was also a bit disappointed in the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Glow palette. It looks like a colour story that I would love, but the pastels were kind of weak. I wore it on my eyes here.

But here’s a palette that did not disappoint at all! I love the look I created with the Unearthly Cosmetics Murky Meadow palette. The quality of these shadows is amazing, and I love these murky shades.

The last product I picked up in the first Monolith order was the Unearthly Cosmetics satin liquid lipstick in Mandy, which is just a shade that I’ve had on my wishlist for a while.

Now let’s move on to the pieces I picked up in the Easter sale. I got two more of the Kaleidos Futurism palettes; Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender and Futurism VII: Sashimi City. These are lovely little palettes that I wore here and here.

From Kaleidos, I also got the quad palette in Glowing Iris, and I love these shades! I created this look with it.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the colour stories from Arttitude Cosmetics, even this Urban Neutrals palette, which is more muted and cool-toned. I created this stunning black and grey smokey eye with it.

Did I need the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Plastic palette? Probably not, but I was a bit curious about this smaller and more neutral format from the brand. However, did I end up skipping the neutrals and went for the pinks the first time I used this palette? Of course.

I also got a few cheek products. This is the Give Me Glow Cosmetics Bunny & Playmate Dream Duo. I have another one of these cheek duos, and I really enjoy them.

And lastly, I got another shade of the Simply Posh Cosmetics liquid blushes. This is the shade Rosy Cheeks. I also decided to pick up the Bellabeautébar Skin of a Killer highlighter. So pretty, right?
