Beauty Bay haul (March 2023)
I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. It’s not the biggest haul ever, but I think I picked up some pretty good things.
Let’s begin with a mixed selection of products. I love the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Star Shadows, so I picked up another shade. This shade is from the Star Wedding collection and it’s called Favorite Frosting. I also got the Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter in Drip Drip, which I’ve seen people use on the eyes, and it looked so pretty, so I’m going to try that. And I really like the Lethal Cosmetics Magnetic face powder blushers, so I got this pretty peachy pink shade called Blossom. I already had the case lying around.
I also picked up my first products from Half Magic. I got two of the Cheek Fluff Soft Blur blushes in Pink Mushroom and Magic Brownie, and they’re so nice. I also got the Light Trap Duochrome glow powder in Enter The Glow, which is just as nice and super pretty.
In the spring I loved trying out new face palettes, and I was very intrigued by the By BEAUTY BAY face palette in First Light. I think the choices of shades are great, and you can use it with practically any make-up look.
I’ve been wanting to try the about-face Cheek Freak Blush Balms ever since I first saw them, and I picked up several shades, but one of my parcels never arrived. At least I got this stunning purple shade in Score.
I was just as excited to get my hands on the about-face Cherry Pick Lip Color Butters, and I picked up the shades Orange Daze, Dragonfruit Fusion, and Pamblemousse. I’m really enjoying these so far.
Blue creasing
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in my outfit post, I really wanted to wear this blue lipstick, so I tried to do a matching eye look using cream eyeshadows, but sadly they creased a lot. I like the blue shades though.

Catrice and Essence Disney haul (The Jungle Book and The Lion King)
I have a combined Catrice and Essence Disney haul to share with you today. The Catrice products are The Jungle Book themed and the Essence products are The Lion King themed. Let’s begin with the Catrice stuff.
Both collections include three eyeshadow palettes. The Catrice The Jungle Book palettes are called 010 Bare Necessities, 020 Stay In The Jungle, and 030 Mother Nature’s Recipe. The all look really pretty.
This is the face palette in 010 Tales About The Jungle. I think the packaging and details of this collection are stunning!
The collection also came with two blush sticks in the shades 010 An Elephant Never Forgets and 020 Big Bear Hugs. So cute, right?!
The duo-chrome eye pencils in 010 Python and 020 Trust In Me are the most unique products in the collection, and they are really fun and pretty.
I also got this set that came with a make-up bag, which I’ve already used a lot, a face toner, a face primer, a Pure Volume mascara waterproof, and a lip balm in 010 Go With The Flow.
I also picked up the other two lip balms in 020 Cross My Heart and 030 Spirit.
The last item I got from the Catrice The Jungle Book collection is the sculpting brush. Let’s move on to the Essence The Lion King collection.
The three The Lion King eyeshadow palettes are called 01 Circle of Life, 02 Strong From Sunrise To Sunset, and 03 Dream Big, Little One.
These maxi blushes in 01 Remember Who You Are and 02 Can You Feel The Love Tonight? are super cute.
The Lion King collection also included two swirl lipglosses in 01 Calm Surrender and 02 The Lion Sleeps Tonight. They look super pretty. I almost don’t want to ruin the swirl.
I love Essence gel nail colours and The Lion King collection came with two shades; 01 Roar and 02 Courageous.
The last item I bought from the Essence The Lion King collection was the eyeshadow brush. I usually really like both Essence and Catrice brushes.
