Here’s what I wore Saturday November 29. My grandfather was hosting his annual Christmas party/get-together, and I like to dress very Christmassy and festive for that occasion.

This is my collective haul from September. It mainly consists of make-up.
I purchased a bunch of products from the Essence Polly Pocket collection. I got the eyeshadow palette in 01 Take Me To Pollyville!, the highlighter in 01 Tiny & Cute, the peptide lip mask in 01 So Much Cute, and all three lip glazes in 01 90’s Girl, 02 Fashion Polly, and 03 Polly2K. The packaging is super cute and very nostalgic to me, but the products themselves are quite disappointing.
Here’s a little random selection of products. I got a back-up of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light, because it’s my favourite powder. I really wanted to try the MAC Skinfinish Lightstruck liquid highlighters, so I picked up the fun green shade in Glacial. And then I needed a new navy mascara, so I got the Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara in 04 Navy, and so far I like it.
One shade of the MAC Skinfinish Lightstruck liquid highlighter wasn’t enough, so I also bought it in Lightscapade.
MAC doesn’t release as many limited edition collections anymore, and as a collector I think it’s a shame. However, they did release a limited edition autumn collection called the Nocturna Collection. I picked up the Eye + Face Palette, the MACximal Silky matte lipstick in Underslept, the Squirt Plump Gloss Stick in Nocturnal Pearl, and the Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Freak. I love all three of these lip formulas.
I really wanted to try the Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix Duos, so I purchased two shades; 1 Interstellar/Mystic Taupe and 5 Astra/Cassiopeia. These are great eyeshadow sticks!
Speaking of great eyeshadow sticks, the Catrice Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow sticks are just as good as the Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix Duos, and they’re only a fraction of the price of the Danessa Myricks Beauty ones. I got two of the shades, and they’re called 010 Lavender Jelly Haze and 020 Pink Jelly Kiss. I also picked up another shade of the Catrice Glass Like dewy lip tints. It’s called 030 Happy Lips, Happy Life.
Now, let’s move on to some indie palettes and a highlighter that I got from Monolith. This first one is the Glaminatrix x Monolith Crown Legacy palette. I love this colour story, and I created this beautiful look with the palette.
This is the Bellabeautébar x Noopur Makeup Coalescence palette. I haven’t gotten around to playing with this one yet, but I’m very excited to hopefully do so soon.
I was really excited to receive the Dede Signature Broken Jewels palette, but sadly, the shade Rose Ruin came ruined (pun intended). The shade Molten Citrine is also a little loose in the palette. I can obviously still use the palette, and I created this look with it.
You know I love green and pink together, so the Gourmande Girls Trapped palette is right up my street. I wore it here.
The highlighter that I got from Monolith is the Dieverune Cosmetics highlighter in April Showers, and it’s so pretty on the skin.
Lastly, I bought these two second hand scarves. I love the colours/patterns.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Since the jumper had a lot of different colours in it, I wanted to include a lot of those colours in my make-up look, and I think the look turned out really pretty.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint (shade: 2), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light. Face make-up: bronzer – Whats Up Beauty Cheeque Terre bronzer in 10 Light, blush + highlighter – Simply Posh Cosmetics Cozy Up cheek palette (shades: Winterberry (blush) + Snowed In (highlighter)). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Dede Signature Fearless Holiday palette (shades: Soft Phase + Cold Weather + Cosmos + Moody Autumn + Fun Filled), mascara – L’Oréal Panorama volume million mascara in Black, eyeliner – Colourpop Crème gel liner in Aglow. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Nightingale lip pencil + Milani Color Fetish lipstick in 350 Fleur)
I have a collective indie make-up and Colourpop haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these products back in August and thought I would put them together in one collective haul.
I bought the first five palettes from Monolith. This is the Glaminatrix Cosmetics Bonfire palette. I did this beautiful look with it, and I really want to play with it again soon.
I love Cosmic Beauty’s eyeshadow palettes, and even though the Smoulder palette doesn’t have my favourite kind of colour story, I still had to have it.
I think the Unearthly Cosmetics Shadow Sculpt – Ghoul Garden palette has a beautiful colour story, but I didn’t love the formula of the shimmers. I usually get along very well with Unearthly Cosmetics’ shimmers, so I’m sad that they changed the formula for this palette. I wore the palette on my eyes here.
This was my first palette from Dieverune Cosmetics. It’s the Magnetic Mineralia palette, and it’s really nice. I love this first look I created with it.
This is my first and only so far palette from Davini Beauty. This colour story really speaks to me, so when it was on sale, I had to pick it up. I wore it here.
I really enjoy Nomad Cosmetics as a brand, so I had to get their Witch City Salem collection, which includes an intense color palette and three Spellbinding lipsticks.
Have you ever seen a more perfect Halloween colour story? I find this palette really inspiring, and you can do so many different looks with it. Here’s a purple and orange look I created with the palette.
The Spellbinding lipsticks are so fun. The shades are called Hocus Pocus, Devil’s Book, and Witching Hour.
Lastly, I picked up some items from Colourpop. I made the order, because I wanted a few things from the Shrek collection. I got the Beware Orge palette, the Lip and Cheek Balm in Fairytale Things, and the Ultra Glossy Lip in Orge. I’m wearing all three products here.
And now that I made a Colourpop order I also picked up a back-up of the Pretty Fresh tinted foundation balm in the shade Fair 3 and the Fresh Kiss lip mask in Pistachio Gelato, because it sounded delicious.
