Sephora haul (January 2023)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. It’s a collective haul including make-up and a few fragrances.

Let’s begin with Natasha Denona. I had to pick up the Mini Pastel palette, because I love ND eyeshadows and I love pastels. This is pretty unique pastel colour story, but all five shades work so well together (see the look I created with the palette here).

I was so excited about the I Need A Rouge lip products from Natasha Denona. The first product I picked up as soon as it came to the Sephora website was the I Need A Rouge lip crayon in Gigi (I’ve since then picked up some more products from the line).

The last Natasha Denona product I picked up was the My Dream lipgloss in the shade Natasha, which was the last product from the My Dream collection I didn’t have. I’d heard so many youtubers talk about how stunning this lipgloss is, and I have to agree. It’s one of the prettiest lipglosses I own. I also purchased one of the Fenty Beauty Poutsicle hydrating lip stains, because I’ve been wanting to try them out for a while. I got the shade Mai Type 01, and I love both the colour and the formula (I’m wearing it here).

Let’s move on to Rare Beauty. I love the Kind Words matte lipsticks and lip liners, so I added another shade to my collection; Gifted. I was also super excited to try the Positive Light Silky Touch highlighter and picked up the shade Enlighten.

Here’s a closer look at the shade Gifted.

Just look at how blinding this highlighter is!

I also purchased a few things from Sephora Collection. I bought the Best Skin Ever foundation in 10 N and the Colourful Luminizer face illuminating powder in 01 Sparkling Honey. I haven’t used the foundation enough to form a proper opinion on it yet, and I haven’t worn the highlighter yet, but it looks pretty.

This highlighter I have worn though, and it’s stunning. It’s the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Skin highlighter in Lunar Nude, and I got it 30% off.

When Sephora had a 20% off deal on Dior, I purchased a back-up of the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral, which is one of my favourite face powders ever.

Lastly, I bought a couple more Sephora Collection DO NOT DRINK perfumes. I got the Roasted Blend Iris + Mocha in a 30 ml bottle and the Refreshing Blend Mandarin + Matcha in a 10 ml bottle. Both were on sale.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is not the most advanced make-up look, but the red and pink colour scheme makes the look both fun and pretty.

Here’s what I wore Sunday March 19. I’m really into pinks, reds, and purples at the moment, and I love wearing different combinations of those colours. I wore this red and pink look at my youngest sister’s birthday brunch, and I thought it was the perfect look for the occasion.

(Blazer + trousers – Monki, T-shirt + socks – H&M, sneakers – Nike)

Not always neutrals

5 favourites – March

March has come to an end, and what an eventful month it was! We moved to a new apartment in a new town in the very beginning of the month (moving is always a little stressful) and last Sunday we celebrated our daughter’s christening; it was such a lovely day. Now, I’m looking forward to a more calm April. We’re going to spend time with my family celebrating Easter, and we’re also going to unpack some more boxes, which will be nice. But first, let’s talk about some March favourites.

Iconic London Underglow blurring primer: I’ve been wanting to try this primer ever since I first saw it, but it kept being sold out everywhere, so when I finally found it in stock and on sale, I ordered it right away. It has a pretty unique texture, but I kind of like it, and I love the subtle glow that it gives the skin.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Star Shadow in Nude Honeymoon: I featured this liquid eyeshadow in a recent haul, even though I’ve had it for a little while. It has been my go-to eyeshadow on days where I don’t have that much time to do my make-up. It looks great blended out all over the lid with sparkly eyeshadows on top such as my next favourite.

R.E.M. Beauty Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadows: I have a R.E.M. Beauty haul coming up, so you haven’t seen these eyeshadows on my blog yet. These liquid eyeshadows are so shimmery, shiny, and pretty; I’m especially loving the shade on the left called Fembot. I’m wearing it on top of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Star Shadow in Nude Honeymoon here.

Beauté Pacifique Enriched Hydrating hand cream: My hands were super dry in the beginning of the month, and this hand cream saved them. It’s not too thick and not too thin, and it sinks into the skin quickly, and it just works.

New make-up storage setup: Before I moved I picked up another set of Alex 9-drawers from Ikea to accommodate my growing make-up collection, and I love this new setup. My make-up table/vanity is to the left next to the plant and right in front of a big window, and it’s the best lighting for make-up I’ve ever had. I just love my new make-up corner!
