Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I remember having a lot of fun creating this eye look; I really like the warm-toned eye lid paired with a cool-toned lower lash line.

I have a collective Colourpop haul to share with you today. It includes products from a couple of new at the time collections plus some products I got 20% off.
I love a Christmas themed make-up collection, and the Colourpop x Frosty the Snowman collection is just so cute. I picked up the entire collection bundle.
The Frosty the Snowman palette has a very pretty, icy, cool-toned colour story, which is a bit different from a more traditional Christmas colour story, and I like that. I wore the palette and some of the other products from the collection here.
I really enjoy the Jelly Much eyeshadows from Colourpop, and the Frosty the Snowman collection included the Snow Days! Jelly Much eyeshadow duo in Freezin’ and Made Of Snow, which are a pastel blue shade and a pastel lilac pink shade.
The Super Shock highlighter is one of my favourite products from Colourpop, so I was probably most excited about the Fastest Belly-Whopper Super Shock highlighter kit from this collection. The shades are called Winter Wonder and Icicle Spree, and they’re so pretty!
Moving on to lips, this is the Chill Out! So Juicy plumping gloss balm set in Frozen, All Melted, and Feeling Like Frosty.
And these are the Snow Much Fun! Lux lipstick kit including Magic Hat Lippie pencil and Silly Snowman Lux lipstick and the Happy Jolly Fun! Lux lipstick kit including Over The Hills lippie pencil and First Snow Lux lipstick. I like all of the lip products, but the Lippie pencils are my favourites.
The collection also included the Welcome to the North Pole lip care set, which comes with the Northbound lip mask and the Have A Parade lip scrub, which are both candy cane scented.
And the last item in the Frosty the Snowman collection was the Everyone’s Favorite Snowman makeup sponge. So cute!
Now, let’s move on to the other two items that was new-ish at the time and therefore wasn’t on sale. I loved Bratz growing up, so I picked up the Bratz Girls Nite Out palette and the Bratz Jade Lippie kit from the Bratz collection.
The colour story of this palette is dark and cool-toned, and I actually think it would pair quite well with the Frosty the Snowman palette.
The Bratz Jade Lippie kit included a Lippie pencil and a Lippie Stix in the shade Koolkat.
I got the rest of the products in this haul 20% off. I’d been thinking about getting the Haunted Mansion Welcome Foolish Mortals palette ever since it launched for the first time around Halloween in 2023, so when it was back in stock and 20% off I had to add it to my cart. It’s another cool-toned palette that would pair well with the Frosty the Snowman palette and the Bratz Girls Nite Out palette.
The last palette in this haul is the After Hours palette, and guess what, it’s another cool-toned palette. I guess I was into buying cool-toned palettes at the time.
The Winx Club palette was actually one of my first Colourpop purchases ever, and when they rereleased the collection last year, they added some more products including the Winx Club Super Shock highlighter in Magix Gem. I don’t prefer this packaging but the highlighter itself is beautiful.
The Colourpop BBF crème gel liners are some of my favourite eyeliners, so I picked up some more shades (from left to right): Aglow (back-up), Amethyst Hour, Joy Ride, and Charmer.
The last three products I picked up was the liquid blush in She’s Cute, the So Juicy plumping glossy lip oil in Beverly Drive, and the Power Pout lipstick in Party Hour. I just wanted to try these formulas out.
I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. I purchased most of these items on sale.
I love adding a new pair of Nike Cortez sneakers to my ever growing Nike Cortez collection, and how fun are these orange ones?!
I also love adding new pairs of Crocs to my ever growing Crocs collection, and this time around I added these three pairs, which are all different versions of the Stomp style.
And speaking of Crocs, I also got these three sets of Jibbitz to add to different pairs of Crocs.
Lastly, I purchased two more pairs of coloured tights from Calzedonia. These weren’t on sale.
Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 30. It’s not the first time I’ve worn an outfit inpired by the character of Duckie Dale (from Pretty in Pink). His style is iconic and a great inspiration for Halloween or another occasion that requires a costume or any other day to be honest.
Here’s what I wore Monday October 28. It was the week leading up to Halloween, so I decided to wear Halloween/costume inspired looks all week. My inspiration for this look was clown but make it chic.
Today’s haul is a collective haul of the Essence and Catrice Disney Pixar collaborations. Essence did a collab with Up and Catrice did a collab with Finding Dory. I picked up the items I found the most intereting. Let’s begin with the Essence Up collection.
I didn’t initially pick up a palette, but I decided to get the one called 02 Wilderness explorer later on, when I found it on sale, and it was actually quite nice.
I also picked up the eyeshadow brush and the color correcting compact powder, which has the cutest imprint.
I was really excited to try the liquid blushlighters in 01 Dusk in paradise and 02 Sunset serenade and the liquid highlighter in 01 Joyful ride, and they’re really pretty.
I was also excited to try the Glitter Switch liquid lipsticks. I bought all three shades; 01 Paradise falls, 02 Ellie’s enchantment, and 03 Over the horizon. They’re pretty fun, and I like the packaging.
I wasn’t interested in as many things from the Catrice Finding Dory collection, but I did pick up the following items; the two metallic eyeliners in 010 Blue Lagoon and 020 Seashell Sparkle, the balmy lipstick in 010 Turtle Tales, the Tinted Lip & Cheek Jelly in 020 Cuddle Buddy, the loose powder blush in 010 Reef Reflection, and the blush brush.
Here are some closer looks at the lipstick and the blush.
I have a Matas haul to share with you today. It includes mostly affordable make-up.
The only high end product in this haul is the Fenty Beauty Trace’d Out lip liner in Coal Blooded 09. This is a very unique shade of lip liner; it’s a very dark almost black brown shade. The only thing I got from the NYX Beetlejuice collaboration was the Sandstorm Swirl Butter Gloss in 04. I also picked up the Rimmel Kind & Free Lash Loader mascara in 002 Brown Black. I’ve been using this mascara lately, and I’ve found that I prefer the original Rimmel Kind & Free mascara in the same shade.
From e.l.f. Cosmetics I got the Brow Lift in Clear, which is the best dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze in my opinion. I also finally purchased the e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam satin foundation in 13 Fair Neutral, and I really like it.
The rest of the products in this haul are from Essence. I picked up the Essence Flawless Skin Trio loose setting powder in 10, the Essence Juicy Melon tinted lip & cheek balm, and the Essence Baby Got Holo highlighter stick in 10 Holy Apricotly. The powder indludes three shades (pink, lilac, and peach) that you can wear individually or swirl together, which is quite neat. I wasn’t aware of the fact the the blush was one of those jelly pH-reacting products, so I don’t know how I’m going to feel about, since they’re not my favourite kind of products. The highlighter is not bad. The shade is quite fun.
The last three products I got are all from the Essence In The Bloom’light collection. I bought the blushlighter in 01 Made Of Stardust, matte lip liner in 01 Live In Full Bloom, and the satin lipstick in 01 Kisses At Midnight. I think my favourite of the three is the blushlighter.
I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes mostly make-up, but also some accessories, clothes, and a pair of shoes.
For once I only picked up two products from the MAC holiday 2024 collection. The collection is called Gift Of Gold, and I was very excited to see MAC launch a new type of blush. I got the Skinfinish Metallic cream blush in the shade Priceless Purple, which is such a fun shade. I also bought one of the frost lipsticks in the shade Regal Red, which is a great Christmas lipstick shade.
I received a Holiday Gift bag and a Macximal silky matte lipstick in Whirl with my MAC order.
Ever since I saw the Dior Forever liquid sequin liquid lipsticks launch around Christmas time in 2023, I’d been wanting to try one, but they sold out so quickly. So I was so excited to see them come back for the holidays in 2024, and I picked up the red shade in 999.
Of course I had to pick up the Natasha Denona Roxa palette. I love Natasha Denona’s eyeshadow formulas, and purple is my favourite colour, so this was a no-brainer purchase for me.
I also bought three indie palettes from Monolith. The first one is the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Underland palette. It has this dark and moody colour story, which is fun and different.
The Vamp palette from Bellabeautébar was their Halloween release for 2024, and it was not the only Halloween palette release with a purple and red colour story, and I’m not mad about it. Purple and red is actually a bit of an underrated colour story.
This is the Harvest of Souls palette from Fantasy Cosmetica, and it’s the biggest palette that they’ve released to date. It’s absolutely stunning. Just look at that colour story.
I love Cosmic Brushes, and for Halloween 2024 they launched their first mystery box. The box includes a palette, three cream blushes, and three lipsticks. If you haven’t bought it, but is planning to do so, here’s your spoiler alert.
The Sinister palette is another palette with a purple and red colour story, which is really fun and inspiring.
The cream blushes from Cosmic Brushes are called Blush Butter and come in three fun shades in this box (from left to right); Got Chills, Dazed, and Heroine.
The three lipsticks are the Velvet matte lipsticks in the shades Salem, Nancy, and Clarice. Very interesting shades, and I like the formula.
I picked up three bow accessories; two brooches from Maanesten (the style is called Memoru) and a leopard print hair clip from Accessorize.
I’ve mentioned before that I love pink and red together, and that was apparently very obvious back in October, when I purchased a floral dress from Asos Design, a stripy dress from Monki, and an oversized T-shirt from JJXX in that colour combo.
Lastly, I found these purple suede boots from Tamaris 60% off in a department store, and I thought they were a great pair of comfy, colourful boots that would go with a lot of different looks.
