Warm and yummy Christmas colours

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know, it’s another green eyes and red lips make-up look, but the these warm, yummy tones are a bit different for Christmas and so fun.

Pink and green Christmas

Christmas holidays and Merry Christmas!

Here’s what I wore Thursday December 18. It was my last day at work before my Christmas holiday began. I’ve really been looking forward to the holidays this year; some time off was very much needed. And Merry Christmas! As I’ve mentioned before, we celebrate Christmas on the 24th in Denmark, so I’m looking forward to spent the day with my family.

Favourite Christmas palettes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I dug out another Oden’s Eye Christmas palette from a moving box to create this eye look. It’s the Merry Christmas palette, which was one of their first Christmas palettes, and it’s still my favourite Christmas palette from Oden’s Eye along side the Christmas Eve palette, which released the same year (I think it was i 2022).

Festive dress

Here’s what I wore Monday December 15. I don’t recall wearing this dress around Christmas time before, but I don’t know why, because it’s perfect for a festive look.

Collective haul – beauty (October 2025)

I have a large collective beauty haul to share with you today. It’s a collection of orders from Matas, Zalando, Lyko, and Beauty Bay.

I wasn’t sure whether to get a few pieces from the Essence YEE HAW! collection or not, because the shades aren’t my favourites, but the packaging was so cute, so when I found the collection on sale, I decided to get the Moisturizing primer stick in 01 Howdy Y’all!, the Jumbo eye crayon in 01 Big Dreams in Big Boots, and the Plumping lip oil in 01 Boots On, Carry On!.

The e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift in Clear is my favourite brow gel, and I needed a back-up, so I picked one up.

I love the Buttermelt highlighters from NYX and I love Bridgerton, so I had to have one of the Royal highlighters from the NYX Bridgerton collection. I got the shade 1 Iridescent Peach, and it’s beautiful. I also thought I would try a couple of newer products from Essence; the cream eyeshadow in 03 Oyster and the Satin Blend gel eyeliner in 03 Bronzed Shimmer.

I purchased two products from the MAC Gift MAC Holiday 2025 collection. I always pick up a lipstick from MAC’s limited edition collection, and I had to have the Macximal Sleek satin lipstick in Unexpected Red from this year’s holiday collection. And then MAC launched a new product with this collection called the Bounce & Gleam highlighter, and I chose the shade Investmint. The texture is similar to the Glow Play blushes from MAC, and the colour is so fun.

Lyko is a good place to get Catrice and Essence, so I made a Lyko order including a lot of the new products from Catrice and Essence. From Catrice, I got the Butter Like Bronze & Contour palette in 010 Born To Shape and the Soft Glam baked blushes in 020 Peachy Breeze and 030 Cheeky Coral. The blushes are obviously a dupe for the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch luminous powder blushes, but I really like the Catrice version as well.

I also picked up the Diamond Glaze gloss stick in 030 Too Glam To Give A Damn, the Colour Cushion Juicy lip oil in 030 Palm Punch, and the Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow stick in 030 Bronzed Jelly Bliss.

I wanted to try the magnetic nail trend, so I got the Catrice Bold Magnetic nail polish in 010 Love At First Pull and the Catrice Bold Magnetic nail magnet. I tried them out last night, and even though my nails look really pretty, I’m not sure the magnetic effect is that visible. I’ll have to try it again some other time.

Let’s move on t0 the things I got from Essence. I bought the All About Soft Glow! fixing compact powder waterproof and the Jelly Jewels glitter stick in 02 Diamond Dust. I’ve been really into shadow sticks lately.

These are all products from the Soft Touch line from Essence, including the Soft Touch butter bronzer in 10 Whipped Buttercup, the Soft Touch bouncy blushes in 20 Electric Peony and 30 Exotic Daisy, and the Soft Touch bouncy glow in 10 Soft Glaze. I’m excited to play more with these.

The last bits in this haul are from Beauty Bay. I usually pick up the 20 colour palettes from By BEAUTY BAY, and this holiday season, I got the Dark Lights eye collection that includes the Dark Lights 20 Colour palette, three Bouncy Beam shimmer sticks in Gold Hoops, Setlist, and FOMO, and a mini High-Key volume mascara. So far I’ve only used the Bouncy Beam shimmer sticks, and I like them. I’m really excited to create a look with the palette.

I recall hearing about the brand Samplr before, but I’d never tried the brand, so I picked up the #03_NEON GRUNGE 25-pan colour palette and the MAGN_EDIT duo kit.

The last two products I bought were the Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow in Headliner and the Half Magic Crystal Butter lip balm in Icon Aura. I like both of these products.

More green eyes and red lips

Back in corduroy

Here’s what I wore Thursday December 11. I’ve missed wearing corduroy trousers, so I was very happy when I found this khaki green pair from H&M MAMA.

Holographic silver
