Darker, more autumnal

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m really excited about wearing darker, more autumnal make-up looks, and I really like how this monochromatic berry look turned out. However, I still have some more summery looks to post as well.

Collective haul (August)

It’s time for my collective haul from August. It’s mainly beauty products this time around, but I also wanted to include some jewellery that I got for my birthday.

I got this jewellery set from my parents for my birthday in August. It consists of a necklace, a charm bracelet and earrings, and it’s from the Danish jewellery brand Maanesten. You might have noticed me wearing these pieces in a couple of make-up posts. I love how dainty and pretty they are.

Before we get into make-up, let’s talk about tools. I love Real Techniques tools and decided to get the Prism Glo Shimmer eye kit, which I found on sale. It comes with seven brushes and a cleanse tin. I also got a new brush for my brows, because the one I had was super old and broken. I got the Kiko Milano Eyes 64 brow comb brush, and so far I have no complaints about it.

Then I also picked up some stuff from Lyko. From Essence I got the Make Beauty Fun highlighter in 01 Happiness Shines From Within and the Cute As Shell face glow booster in 01 You Shell Sea My Glow!. From Catrice I picked up a back-up of the All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Fresh Neutral Beige, which I love, and I also got the All Matt Plus Shine Control powder in 002 Banana Bright. However, the most exciting item I purchased is probably the LH Cosmetics Shimmer Saga palette. It’s the first product I’ve ever purchased from LH Cosmetics, and I think I chose the perfect one to try out.

Here’s a closer look at the Essence highlighter and the Catrice powders.

It was really difficult to get a good picture of the LH Cosmetics Shimmer Saga palette, but it consists of four stunning shimmery duochrome/multichrome shades. It’s the perfect little companion palette.

On my quest to find fun cream, liquid etc. eyeshadows, I was very excited to try out the new NYX Ultimate Glow Shots liquid eyeshadows. I picked up the following three shades; 04 Grapefruit Glow, 07 Lemon Slayed, and 13 Plum Player. I’m wearing 07 Lemon Slayed and 13 Plum Player in these pictures, and I think they look very pretty, and they were also easy to work with. I might have already picked up a few more shades:)

I have some of the older, classic Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes, but I didn’t buy them, when they were the most popular, and I’ve never really gotten into them to be honest. However, I was intrigued by the new(er) Nouveau palette, and I’ve got to say that I’m really happy with this palette so far. I really like this new packaging, and the colour story is more interesting than a lot of the colour stories in the older palettes. I really like the formula of the shadows as well, so I’m excited to play with this palette some more.

The last item in this haul is the Made By Mitchell Where The Mangoes palette. There was something about this colour story that just drew me in. It also reminds me to pull out my other Made By Mitchell palettes, which are actually really good.

Smokey with hints of green

Canal blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I usually don’t wear blue lipstick to work, but now that I’m staying at home for a while, I have the opportunity to play with unusual lip colours, and I had so much fun creating this monochromatic blue make-up look.

First Oden’s Eye haul

I’ve been intrigued by the Swedish make-up brand Oden’s Eye for quite a while, and when I saw that the entire Solmåne II collection was discounted, I decided to make my first order from the brand. Besides the Solmåne II collection, I also got another eyeshadow palette.

The Solmåne II collection includes the eyeshadow palette, 15 gel liners, 6 Sunlight Love blushers, 6 Moonlight Feel highlighters, and a makeup mirror. I’ve already featured the palette in a 5 favourites, and I think it’s stunning. The shades are so pretty, and the quality is great.

I love colourful eyeliners, and these gel liners come in so many stunning colours. They’re really pigmented too, and they last a long time on the waterline.

How absolutely stunning are these blushers! The packaging is beautiful, but so are the shades and embossing on the actual product as well. The three matte shades are called B101 Sunset Clouds, B102 Warm Sun, and B103 Orange Sunny. The three pearlescent shades are called W101 Roseate Love, W102 Peach Gleam, and W103 Sienna Lustre.

The 6 highlighters are just as beautiful as the blushers. It’s more difficult to show them off properly in pictures though, but they’re all duochromes and the shades are quite colourful and interesting. These highlighters are definitely unique to my collection. They’re in the shades H101 Moon talk, H102 Pink Star, H103 Warm Sunshine, H104 Lavender Dream, H105 Azura Shine, and H106 Rose Sky.

The Solmåne makeup mirror comes in two colours; light orange or light purple. I obviously chose the light purple.

Besides the Solmåne collection, I also picked up the Oden’s Eye X Angelica Nyqvist Hela eyeshadow palette. I love Angelica’s Youtube videos, and I think her palette with Oden’s Eye is beautiful. It has such a fun colour story; I really like the greens and pinks together. The quality of the eyeshadows are great too.

Impressed so far

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore a new eyeshadow palette on my eyes that I haven’t hauled yet, but I’m very impressed with it so far.
