Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I might not have been sure if I liked the outfit, but I’m very sure that I like this make-up look. I think the eye look is stunning.

I have a huge Monolith haul to share with you today. These are the products I purchased from Monolith back in February.
I’d had the Bellabeautébar Basic Witch palette on my wishlist for quite a while, but it’s almost always out of stock, so when it was briefly back in stock, I had to purchase it right away. I love this colour story, and the quality is great! I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.
The Gourmande Girls Nightshade palette is another palette I’d had my eye on, so when it also came back stock, I added it to my cart immediately. This also has a colour story that is right up my street, and I wore the palette in my make-up post from yesterday.
I don’t know anything about Rick & Morty, but I’d heard such great things about the Glamlite x Rick & Morty palette, so when I found it on sale, I decided to give it a try. It’s such a vibrant colour story, which I love. I’ve used the palette a couple of times, and I’ve really enjoyed the looks I’ve created with it. You can see one of the looks here.
It’s not very often that I go for a warm colour story like this one, but I was very intrigued by the Glamlite x Garfield palette. I have to say that I really like Garfield, and I think the packaging is so cute, but I was also very impressed by the quality of this palette, and I loved the look I created with it (which I haven’t posted yet).
This is my first Adept Cosmetics palette. I’ve been wanting to try the brand for a while, but the Element 115 palette was the first palette, which had a colour story that I was really attracted to. I love that Adept Cosmetics palettes are shimmer heavy, and the shimmers are stunning. I really enjoy the matte shades in this palette too though.
I’ve been dying to get my hands on these Ensley Reign Cosmetics palettes! I initially wasn’t sure whether to get the Flower Moon palette or not, but I decided to buy it (this is the original version), and I’m so glad I did, because it’s simply stunning.
The Harvest Moon palette is probably one of the brand’s most talked about palettes, and I see why. This dark, autumnal colour story is just beautiful!
But the Ensley Reign Cosmetics palette I wanted the most was the Lands Of Enchantment palette. I mean, just look at this heavenly colour story! All three of these Ensley Reign Cosmetics palettes have amazing quality.
Fantasy Cosmetica is another brand that I’m keeping an eye on, because I love the first two palettes I got from the brand (Warlock and Rogue). This is the Wizard palette, and this blue and pastel yellow colour story is so beautiful. I’m wearing the palette on my eyes here.
When Fantasy Cosmetica released the Wizard palette they also released the Celestial Lights highlighter palette, which includes three colourful and very pigmented shifty highlighters. If you like that kind of highlighter, this palette is great.
The last products in this haul are from Unearthly Cosmetics, which is a brand that I really love. This is the Dreamer palette, and it actually took me by surprise just how gorgeous this palette is on the eyes. I’m wearing it here, and I’m in love with that eye look.
I was so excited about the Unearthly Cosmetics VDAY Mystery Box, which includes the Charmer collection. It comes with an eyeshadow palette, four brushes, two liquid eyeliners, a liquid lipstick, a lip oil, a blush, and two lip glosses.
This is the Charmer palette and it is beautiful. I did a pink look with it here, but I really want to create a purply look with it as well.
The two Immortal liquid eyeliners came in the shades Love Struck and Tears, and they’re beautiful shifty, metallic liners. I’m wearing the shade Tears as a crease liner here.
The liquid blush in the shade Nirvana comes in the same packaging as the lip products and has a doe foot applicator.
These are the four lip products in the shades (from left to right) Bliss, Heartache, Admire, and Puppy Love.
And lastly, these are the four brushes that were included in the mystery box; A4, UC8-1, UC8-5, and UC8-7.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I always love a purple eye look, and the lilac lip is just so fun and pretty wearable in this case, I think.
(Base: primer – Iconic London Underglow blurring primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Essence Banana loose powder + Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral, freckles – KimChi Chic Candy Girl Fake Freckles in Afternoon in The Flower Field. Face make-up: bronzer – Huda Beauty Glowish Soft Radiance bronzing powder in 1 Light, blusher – Essence Blush Crush! blush in 60 Lovely Lilac, highlighter – Essence Meta Glow highlighter. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Gourmande Girls Nightshade palette (shades: Belladonna + Nightshade + Dream Shade + Hypnotic + Flowering + Enchanter), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Lavender Blush. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Toffee Rose + 3ina The Lipstick in 430 + Colourpop So Glassy lip gloss in Cyberspace)
Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 3. I found some very nice second hand pieces in March and April, and this grey wool kilt was one of them. Even though it’s grey, which is not a colour I wear a lot, I managed to add colour to the look with some pops of red.
(Hat + blazer + skirt – second hand/vintage, roll neck top – H&M, tights – Calzedonia, shoes – Monki)
I have a huge Catrice haul to share with you today. It includes their Valentine’s Day collection and S/S 2024 drop.
Let’s begin with the Heart Affair collection that came out around Valentine’s Day. As you can see, I picked up a lot of the products from this collection. Let’s take a closer look at them.
The collection included two blush stamps. They’re in the shades C01 Love Expression and C02 Show Me Love, which are similar shades to the packaging. These are very pigmented, and maybe a bit too intense for my liking.
The highlighter in CO1 Stole My Heart comes in a very cute heart shaped compact, and it’s a nice slightly golden champagne shade.
I got two of the three matte liquid lipsticks shades. The shades I picked are C02 Married?! and C03 Taken?! I’ve only worn C03 Taken?! so far, but I really liked the formula, and the colours are very pretty.
I also bought two out of three shades of the full shine lipsticks. I chose the shades C01 Hearts On and C03 Heartbreaker. These are also very pretty and definitely shiny.
Lastly from the Heart Affair collection, I got two of the nail lacquers in shades C01 No One’s Lover and C03 Love Game, and I love both shades. The packaging is nice too.
Next up are the new spring/summer products I picked up. This is the Skin Glaze hydrating serum primer. So far I like it.
I’m not sure how I feel about the Magic Shaper face cream palette in 010 Holy Grail though. The bronzers are too deep and I’m not sure I like the formula very much.
These are the Blush Affair liquid blushes in 020 Orange Fizz and 030 Ready Red Go, and I remember these to be pretty nice.
Here’s a little bundle of products I got, and two of them are some of my favourites from this haul.
The Space Glam holo highlighter in 010 Beam Me Up! is beautiful. It has a transparent base and then it shifts different colours from pink to gold to green. I can’t believe that Catrice managed to create such a stunning shifty highlighter at such a low price point.
Here’s a closer look at the two lip products. I really enjoyed the Intense Matte lip pen in 070 Re(a)d My Lips, and I know I like the Scandalous Matte lipstick formula, so I picked up another shade called 130 Slay The Day.
Here are some more lip products I picked up. I really like the Shine Bomb lip lacquer in 060 Pinky Promise. I haven’t tried the Melt & Shine juicy lip balm in 100 Sunny Side Up yet, but I also really enjoyed the Drunk’n Diamonds plumping lip balm in 050 Bury Me In Rubies.
The Space Glam products are some of the big winners in my book. These are the Space Glam chrome eyeshadows in 010 Moonlight Glow, 020 Supernova, and 030 Galaxy Lights. I’ve only worn 010 Moonlight Glow on my eyes so far, but all three shades swatch beautifully. These are great multichrome eyeshadows from the drugstore.
For eyes I also got the Deep Matte liquid eyeshadow in 040 Lime Light and the High Gloss liquid eyeshadow in 010 Glossy Glam. I’ll be trying out the Deep Matte liquid eyeshadow tomorrow, and I haven’t tried the High Gloss liquid eyeshadow yet.
I’m very impressed by the Kohl Kajal waterproof eyeliners. I picked up the shades 110 Orange O’Clock, 150 Ultra Marine, and 170 Candy Rose.
Lastly, I purchased three of the Pastel Please nail polishes. I chose the shades 010 Think Pink, 020 Cloud Nine, and 040 Mint Breeze. I love that they all have shimmer.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I continue to be impressed by Unearthly Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes. I used the Dreamer palette (which will be featured in an upcoming haul) to create this eye look, and I love how it turned out.
(Base: primers – Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder (shade: Universal) + Catrice Skin Glaze hydrating serum primer, foundation – Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin serum skin tint (shade: 2), concealer – Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer (shade: RN1 + N2), powders – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder (shade: Fair/Medium) + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – Huda Beauty Glowish Soft Radiance bronzing powder in 1 Light, blusher – Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow blush in Play Time, highlighter – Pixi + Hello Kitty Chrome Glow palette in Charming Glow (shades: Tickled Pink + Mimmy). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Unearthly Cosmetics Dreamer palette (shades: Soothe + Slumber + Fantasy + Imaginary + Tranquil + Dream State), mascaras – Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara + Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascara in 01 Metallic Purple, eyeliner – Colourpop Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon BFF Crème gel liner in Azabu-Juban. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: MAC Night Crawler lip pencil + Unearthly Cosmetics lipgloss in Spaz)
I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. This is probably going to be my last Beauty Bay haul in a really long time. I made two rather large/expensive orders around Black Friday, and I never received my orders. I was in contact with customer service over a two month long period, and I was never provided with a refund for my missing orders. I usually don’t share this kind of information, but I lost quite a lot of money, which is obviously very upsetting. I purchased the products I’m hauling today while my correspondence with customer services was ongoing.
Some of the products I originally purchased back in November was the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Scorpio palette and two of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Shiny Trap lipsticks that launched with the Scorpio collection. I have to admit that I really dislike the outer packaging of this palette, but I think the colour story is really pretty. I did a look with this palette recently, and I really liked how it came out.
These are the Shiny Trap lipsticks in Hot Devotion and Gardening In Mayhem, and they’re really pretty. I’m wearing Hot Devotion here.
From e.l.f. Cosmetics I picked up the Camo Hydrating CC Cream in Fair 120N and the Camo liquid blush in Coral Crush. I like both of these products.
I’ve always loved the By BEAUTY BAY eyeshadows and especially the limited edition 20 colour palettes. The Reckless Romance is this year’s Valentine’s Day release from By BEAUTY BAY, and I really like the dark take on a Valentine’s palette. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
Lastly, I got the By BEAUTY BAY sheer tinted lip balm in Strawberry as a free gift with purchase. I like a tinted lip balm, and this one is cute.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The crease liner is back and in a pretty, metallic, purple, shifty version.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – MAC Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer foundation (shades: W0 + N1), concealer – NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers (shades: 0.2 Pink + 03 Alabaster), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Catrice All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Neutral Fresh Beige. Face make-up: bronzer – The Balm Take Home The Bronze bronzer in Oliver, blusher – R.E.M. Beauty Hypernova satin matte blush in Pinking of U, highlighter – Fantasy Cosmetica Celestial Lights highlighter palette (shade: Dark Star). Eye make-up: base – GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease Killer eyeshadow base, eyeshadows – Jolie Beauty Ethereality palette (shades: Moonchild + Toadstool + Storybook + Crystals + Fairy Dust + Fantasy), mascaras – Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air), eyeliners – Unearthly Cosmetics Immortal liquid eyeliner in Tears + Revolution x Bratz Jade eye pencil. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Dusty Rose + Unearthly Cosmetics lipgloss in Admire)
I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes two pairs of sneakers and some make-up.
I love that Nike Cortez sneakers are back and in a bunch of different colourways and materials. I purchased another neutral coloured pair, I think the colour is called sesame, and they’re so nice and versatile.
This is my first pair of sneakers from Asics. They’re not sleek like a pair of Nike Cortez, but they’re so comfy, and I like the floral print on the side.
The rest of the haul is make-up. I love the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Pink Air, and the NYX Vivid Rich eyeliner in Emerald Empire is also nice. I’m not sure how I feel about the Revolution Beam Bright silk touch highlighter in Diamond Glow yet.
I’ve been using the NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers a lot since I bought them. I got the shades 0.1 Green, 0.2 Pink, and 03 Alabaster.
I’m always intrigued by a lip product of this format. These are the NYX Fat Oil Slick Click shiny lip balms, and I picked up the shades 05 Link In My Bio, 08 #Thriving, 10 Double Tap, and 11 In A Mood. I’ve only worn the pink shade so far, and I remember liking it.
