Today’s haul is a collective haul of the Essence and Catrice Disney Pixar collaborations. Essence did a collab with Up and Catrice did a collab with Finding Dory. I picked up the items I found the most intereting. Let’s begin with the Essence Up collection.

I didn’t initially pick up a palette, but I decided to get the one called 02 Wilderness explorer later on, when I found it on sale, and it was actually quite nice.

I also picked up the eyeshadow brush and the color correcting compact powder, which has the cutest imprint.

I was really excited to try the liquid blushlighters in 01 Dusk in paradise and 02 Sunset serenade and the liquid highlighter in 01 Joyful ride, and they’re really pretty.

I was also excited to try the Glitter Switch liquid lipsticks. I bought all three shades; 01 Paradise falls, 02 Ellie’s enchantment, and 03 Over the horizon. They’re pretty fun, and I like the packaging.

I wasn’t interested in as many things from the Catrice Finding Dory collection, but I did pick up the following items; the two metallic eyeliners in 010 Blue Lagoon and 020 Seashell Sparkle, the balmy lipstick in 010 Turtle Tales, the Tinted Lip & Cheek Jelly in 020 Cuddle Buddy, the loose powder blush in 010 Reef Reflection, and the blush brush.

Here are some closer looks at the lipstick and the blush.

Fashion over practicality

Here’s what I wore Friday October 25. The fringes might be a bit impractical, but it’s such a fun suit, so I don’t care. It’s fashion over practicality for me.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I do winged liner, but I thought this pretty blue multichrome liquid liner would be a fun addition to this look.

Matas haul (October 2024)

I have a Matas haul to share with you today. It includes mostly affordable make-up.

The only high end product in this haul is the Fenty Beauty Trace’d Out lip liner in Coal Blooded 09. This is a very unique shade of lip liner; it’s a very dark almost black brown shade. The only thing I got from the NYX Beetlejuice collaboration was the Sandstorm Swirl Butter Gloss in 04. I also picked up the Rimmel Kind & Free Lash Loader mascara in 002 Brown Black. I’ve been using this mascara lately, and I’ve found that I prefer the original Rimmel Kind & Free mascara in the same shade.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I got the Brow Lift in Clear, which is the best dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze in my opinion. I also finally purchased the e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam satin foundation in 13 Fair Neutral, and I really like it.

The rest of the products in this haul are from Essence. I picked up the Essence Flawless Skin Trio loose setting powder in 10, the Essence Juicy Melon tinted lip & cheek balm, and the Essence Baby Got Holo highlighter stick in 10 Holy Apricotly. The powder indludes three shades (pink, lilac, and peach) that you can wear individually or swirl together, which is quite neat. I wasn’t aware of the fact the the blush was one of those jelly pH-reacting products, so I don’t know how I’m going to feel about, since they’re not my favourite kind of products. The highlighter is not bad. The shade is quite fun.

The last three products I got are all from the Essence In The Bloom’light collection. I bought the blushlighter in 01 Made Of Stardust, matte lip liner in 01 Live In Full Bloom, and the satin lipstick in 01 Kisses At Midnight. I think my favourite of the three is the blushlighter.

Pink and magenta

Here’s what I wore Friday October 11. For my last day of animal print week, I wore some more zebra print and paired it with pink and green, and I think this is a really nice comfy, casual look.
