Most used pastels

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another product I haven’t hauled yet, but that I’ve been loving is the Natasha Denona Pastel palette (I did feature it in my 5 favourites post from March).

Far from the first time

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The quality of the make-up pictures I took that day is not great (especially not on the second one), but it’s far from the first time I’ve posted a blue eye look, so I think it’ll be okay.

No lilac

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. For once I didn’t go for lilac make-up even though it was a perfect opportunity, but instead I went for a muted green and neutral look.

Black Friday Beauty Bay haul

I know, I know, Black Friday was half a year ago, but I’m just getting around to sharing my Black Friday Beauty Bay haul with you. These are the products I bought.

Let’s start with BH Cosmetics. I love both the BH Cosmetics eyeshadow formulas and cheek product formulas, so I purchased a couple of palettes missing from my collection.

This is the Hangin’ in Hawaii palette; a very pretty neutral and pink palette.

This is the Mimosa palette; a fun and bright mainly pink palette.

And the Belgian Waffle bronzer & highlighter palette. What I find a bit weird about this palette is that the bronzers are fairly light, but the highlighters are quite dark. It’s nice quality though.

From Made By Mitchell I purchased the Milk Blursh Collection including a white liquid blush in Milk Mix, a purple one in Dairy Queen, and a hot pink one in Cow Lick. I also picked up the Blursh and Brush bundle which includes two blushers in the shades Melon Sorbet and Peach Sugar and a MF1 Face Brush Cheek Stippler. I’m not quite sure I like the brush though. However, I do like the other brush that I picked up, which is the ME3 eye brush Tapered Tickler.

From the Revolution Pro X Marilyn Monroe collection I got the Eye Quad in White Pearl and the Lip Set Red in Marilyn Red. I’ve barely used the eye quad, so I don’t have many thoughts on that yet, but I like the lip set. Both products are very pigmented and a beautiful shade of classic red.

These next three products are the real hits of this haul. I love the NABLA Skin Bronzing in Ambra, and I’ve been using it a lot. I already knew that I loved the Clinique Cheek Pop blushes so I picked up the shade 12 Pink Pop. And I was very pleasently surprised by how much I enjoy the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Highlighter in Pink Diamond. It’s very easy to work with, and it’s such a pretty shade.

I also decided to get the other two shades of the By BEAUTY BAY Disney Colour and BEAUTY BAY Lip & Cheek Duos. They’re in the shades Pinocchio Shorts and Mad Hatter Face, and they’re both very pretty.

And last we have this random little selection of items. I bought another Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour lip liner. This one is in the shade I’m Nude. I also picked up another Soda #talkofthetown lipstick. This one is in the shade 004 Total Pink. I think I’ve got most of the shades now. And the very last thing I purchased was the LastObject LastRound in Red and it comes with 7 pads for removing make-up.

Shimmery/metallic pink

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a shimmery/metallic pink eyeshadow, and a pink eye look was perfect with this outfit.

Favourite blues

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used two of my favourite blue themed eyeshadow palettes to create this eye look, and I love how it turned out. I just really love blue eyeshadow to be honest.

Catrice and Essence Disney Princess collections

Today I have a joined Catrice and Essence Disney Princess collections haul to share with you. The two brands did this sister collab a little while back, and it’s Disney so of course I had to pick up most of the items from the collections. Let’s start with Catrice and then transition in to Essence.

Both collections came with three eyeshadow palettes. The Catrice collection consists of the following three palettes; Ariel 010 Treasure The Moment, Belle 020 Beauty Is Found Within, and Pocahontas 030 Follow Your Own Path.

Here’s a closer look at the three Catrice eyeshadow palettes in the order mentioned above. They’re all quite neutral, but I like the different finishes and textures of the shadows.

The collection only came with two highlighter palettes; the Ariel 010 Live Your Dream and the Belle 020 Never Give Up. They’re both very pretty.

The Catrice collection also included three different face serums. The Ariel 010 Down Where It’s Wetter contains hibiscus extract, the Belle 020 Broke The Spell contains rose water, and the Pocahontas 030 Natural Spirit contains sunflower extract.

I love the packaging of the lip balms. They’re glittery, tinted lip balms and there’s one for each of the three princesses featured in the collection; Ariel 010 Seashell Pearls, Belle 020 Free Spirit, and Pocahontas 030 Sheer Willow.

Both the Catrice and the Essence collections included a mascara. The one from Catrice is the Belle Glam & Doll False Lashes mascara, and the one from Essence is the I LOVE EXTREME Rapunzel crazy volume mascara. The packaging on both mascaras is so cute.

And now on to the rest of the Essence products. Their three princesses are Rapunzel, Jasmine, and Mulan. The palettes are called Rapunzel 01 Let Your Hair Down, Jasmine 02 Can’t Keep Me Down, and Mulan 03 True To Your Heart.

Here’s a closer look at the three Essence eyeshadow palettes in the order mentioned above. Initially, I was the most excited about the colour story in the Jasmine palette, but I actually liked the Mulan palette the best. The rusty, orangy colours were actually quite nice.

The last items in the Essence collection were brushes. I picked up the face powder brush in Mulan and the blender brush in Jasmine, and I really like both of these brushes. The quality is really good for the price, and they look super cute.

Rose quartz

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to utilise all the pink shades in the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette. I think the look turned out so pretty, and it’s matching my shirt and blazer perfectly.
