Beautybay haul

I placed an order on Beautybay.com about a month ago and received the parcel about two weeks later. Here’s what I purchased:

When I saw this Zoeva En Taupe eye shadow palette I knew that it was just the palette for me. I love taupes and cool-toned shadows, and this palette is so beautiful. The shadows have great pigmentation and they blend very well. I would love to own more Zoeva palettes.

I’ve been wanting to try the Makeup Geek blushers (and eye shadows) for a long time, so I decided to order two shades + a Z-palette to keep them in. The shades I’ve got are Spell Bound and Bliss, and I love them. They’re so pigmented, and I’ve been wearing them a ton since I received them.

The last item I ordered was this Morphe eye shadow brush. It’s number M511 and I really like it. I would love to try out more brushes and products from Morphe.

H&M lipsticks

I purchased these lipsticks from H&M’s new(ish) make-up line in the beginning of January. They were on sale and I think the colours are gorgeous. I haven’t tried them on yet, but when I have, I’ll show you what they like look on the lips and let you know what I think about them. They are supposed to have a matte finish which is great, and I really like the black and gold packaging. Have you tried any of the H&M make-up?

A few new clothing items

I bought these clothing items a couple of weeks back, and I think they’ll look great together and separately. The black and white blouse and the turtleneck top are from Gina Tricot and the skirt is from H&M. I’m really looking forward to style these items.

MAC lip haul

I purchased some lip products from MAC earlier this month, and I thought it was about time that I showed them to you.

First off I purchased the lipstick in collaboration with Dita Von Teese which was an online exclusive product. It’s called Von Teese and it’s a matte tomato red. Both the sleek black packaging and the lipstick itself has her signature one it which is such a nice touch.

I finally puchased the lip pencil in Talking Points which is a hot pink. I’ve been swatching this lip pencil countless times at my local MAC counter, and I’m so happy it’s finally mine.

Lastly I purchased this Look In A Box lip kit in Fashion Lover. I found it in the section of products that will soon be out of stock, and it contained two lip products I had on my wish list; Flat Out Fabulous lipstick and Heroine lip pencil. It also contained a lipglass in the shade Rhytm. Flat Out Fabulous is described as a bright plum and it has a retro matte finish. Heroine is a bright purple, and Rhytm is very close in colour to Flat Out Fabulous. I’m really excited about all these lip products, and I’m sure you’ll see them on my lips on the blog in the future.

True match vol. 2

True Match 1

I recently bought the new L’Oréal True Match foundation, because I had heard good things about it. I wasn’t so keen on the original one, but I thought I would give this one a go. I got the shade 1.5 N which is a good match for me. I had the old one in shade 1, and it was too light and too pink on me. So far I like this new version of the True Match foundation better than the old one, but I’ve still tried foundations I like more. It’s a very glowy foundation, so if you don’t like glowy skin, this is not for you. I happen to be really into glowy skin at the moment, so I like that about it. I also repurchased the L’Oréal True Match concealer in shade 1 which I love for my under eye area.

Glam metallics

Collection 2000 liqiud eyeliners 2

I recently found some more of these discontinued Collection 2000 Glam Metallics liquid eyeliners and they were so cheap, so I bought the colours I didn’t already have. The blue one is called Groupie and it’s the one I’m most excited about. It’s a turquoise with a green-ish iridescence to it. The green is called Grunge and the gold is called Fierce, and I’m looking forward to trying them all out.

Make-up Christmas presents

DSC_8281

I wrote in my New Year’s Eve make-up post that I would tell you more about my make-up Christmas presents and here they are. I got three MAC products; two eye shadows and a lipstick.

The eye shadows I got are Mythology (on the left) and All That Glitters (on the right). Mythology has a lustre finish and the colour is simply described as a copper and it’s a gorgeous shade. All That Glitters has a veluxe pearl finish and is described as a beige with gold pearl. It’s one of the those shades that goes with anything. So pretty.

You’ve already seen the lipstick in action, but here it is before I wore it. It’s called Matte Royal and it has a matte finish (obviously). It came out with the Matte Lip Collection, and I’m actually not sure if the collection is permanent or not, but I’m so happy I got this amazing blue lipstick for Christmas.

Cyber Monday haul

DSC_8119DSC_8123DSC_8124

On Cyber Monday I went onto the Danish online beauty store Cocopanda.dk to buy a Christmas present for my youngest sister, and there were so many good deals, so I ended up buying a couple of things for myself. I’ve been wanting to try out Wet n Wild eye shadows for such a long time, and I love this Comfort Zone palette. I also picked up a couple more NYX products, and some Ardell half lashes, because I want to play around with lashes a bit more. And of course I had to pick up a back up of my beloved Real Techniques sponge.

Christmas nails

Another nail post already! So unlike me. Anyhow, I thought I would show you my Christmas nails. On my gift Advent calendar on December 20 I got a set of three L’Oréal nail polishes and I’ve used two of them for this look, 404 Scarlet Vamp and Gold Leaf top coat. I’m very impressed by the Gold Leaf top coat; I think it looks beautiful on top of the red nail polish.

Festive heels

Sorte og guld stiletter - Tamaris

My mum put together the best gift Advent calendars in the world, and so far this year mine has been as great as always. So far I’ve gotten books, and CDs (yes, I’m old fashioned that way), and kitchen utensils, and Christmas decorations, and on December 12 I got these pretty black and gold heels. I love heels with an ankle strap, and these are quite festive in my opinion. Initially, I’d decided to wear a different pair of heels on Christmas Eve, but I might change my mind and wear these. We’ll see:)
