Monolith haul (February 2025)

I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. It includes five eyeshadow palettes and four lipsticks. Let’s begin with the palettes.

Angelica Nyqvist, who’s one of my favourite beauty creators, is behind Singe Beauty, and she loves colourful eyeshadows just like I do, so I was very excited to get my hands on her first eyeshadow palette, Galactic Visitor.

I’m not sure why I was drawn to the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Light in Your Eyes palette, since it’s a neutral leaning palette, but I would say that it’s a neutral palette with a twist, and it is really pretty.

I really enjoy Gourmande Girls’ colour stories and formulas, and the Bitten palette is beautiful. I wore it on my eyes here and loved the look.

Another brand who’s colour stories and formulas I love is Fantasy Cosmetica, and how pretty is the Monk palette?!

I love original Coca-Cola, and even though I had heard that this palette wasn’t one of the great quality palettes from Glamlite, I still bought it for the theme. I agree that it isn’t the best palette quality wise from Glamlite, but I still thought the look I created with it turned out nice.

You have seen me wear some of the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks in recent posts, and I really like them. I picked up the shades Bloodstone, Sire, Void, and Ancient from the first launch, and I may or may not have picked up some of the spring shades as well:)

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 3. I could have easily worn this look during Valentine’s week as well, but to be honest, I will wear a red and pink look any day of the year.

Murky greens and bright blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had so much fun creating this make-up look. I think the eye look is really pretty; I love the murky green eyeshadows paired with the bright blue mascara and eyeliner. And it’s not everyday that I wear a metallic green lip, but it was perfect with this look.

Green and blue combo

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 2. I actually really like green and blue together, and it’s a colour combo that I’ve become more aware of and that I’ve worn more often lately.

Colourpop haul –Twilight New Moon and more (January 2025)

I have a Colourpop haul to share with you today. This haul includes the items I picked up from the Twilight New Moon collection plus a handful of other products.

Of course, I had to pick up the Twilight New Moon palette and the two Super Shock shadows included in the collection. The palette is a super pretty warm toned palette (I wore it here), and the Super Shock shadows came as a set with two shades called The Volturi and We Won’t Bite.

I also got all of the lip products from the collection, which is an Ultra Glossy Lip in Runs With Vampires, and the two lip sets including a Lippie pencil and a Power Pout lipstick. The red set comes with a Lippie pencil in Vampire Laws and a Power Pout lipstick in Vampire Royalty, and the brown lip set comes with a Lippie pencil in Hello Biceps and a Power Pout lipstick in Jake.

Besides the products from the Twilight New Moon collection, I also picked up the new at the time Pretty Fresh Lock It In 16HR makeup setting spray and the Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer. I still haven’t tried the setting spray, but I really like the primer.

I was also excited to get my hands on the Liquid Hi-Lite dewy liquid highlighters, which had launch very late last year, I think. I picked up two of the shades; Sugar Donut and Pink Pony.

Lastly, I got the Star Wars palette and the Blotted Lip in Purr on sale. I’ve never watched Star Wars, but I thought the palette looked pretty, and I thought the red Blotted Lip shade looked nice as well.

Pretty in pastels

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 1. I’d not worn this dress in ages, but it’s a great spring dress, and I thought it would look cute paired with my lime green tights.
