Birthday Haul (Part 1)

So here’s part 1 of my massive birthday haul! I’m very excited to share the goodies that I got for my birthday (even though it’s not till the 27th ✌🏼️). 😁 I’m going to limit up to three categories per part to keep it short, I don’t want the posts to be too long. Anyway, let’s get started!

 So I received a Lord and Berry eyeliner, as well as an eyeliner from Coastal Scents. They’re both in black, and these are the wooden pencil type of liners. Next I decided to grab another NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Ash Brown. I didn’t have a backup and mine’s almost out so I just wanted to have another one.

Up next I have some nail polishes.  The first one from the left is a Lollipop Paris polish in a bright red colour. I don’t usually wear bright bold colours like that but I thought that it would be perfect for the holidays. Next to that is from Aurora, it’s a dark navy blue colour which I like, because I absolutely love dark, smokey nail polishes. And lastly I have one from Cult. This is probably what I’m most excited for among the three because I’ve never actually tried a grey nail polish before, and I can’t wait to use it! 💅🏼

And the last bit for now are blushes!  I got a couple of blushes from Tarte, these are mostly summery shades. Then I finally got the blush I wanted to try from Makeup Revolution, which is one of their matte ones in the shade Fusion. Next I got a Bellàpierre cream blush, which can also be used as lip stain. And lastly I got two blushes from Essence, which I’m really excited about because this brand is new to me. What’s awesome is that their products are so affordable. I got the shades Autumn Peach and Life’s a Cherry.
So that’s part 1! I will be posting part 2 pretty soon! Cheerio! 😁 xx

Kiko Milano

That packaging. 😱😍 

When I saw this collection I immediately fell in love, of course, because of the packaging. I absolutely love the rose gold packaging! I decided to pick up three blushes, I got the shades Velvet Peach, Adorable Pink, and Treasure Rose. The main reason I got it is because I was very curious about the formula of this blush. I think it might be like the Maybelline bouncy blushes? Maybe? I haven’t swatched or used them because I wasn’t planning on using them just yet. I know, I know, why did I get these then? Well, I have too many blushes that are in use at the moment so I didn’t want to add more to it because I feel like I won’t be able to use up every single one, which I plan on doing. I just wanted to get them right away because this is a limited edition collection, so that’s my reason. ✌🏼️

I was also trying to compare these colours to some ColourPop blushes that I already own.

Velvet Peach is a very unique shade for me. I don’t have something in my collection quite like it. But the closest colour I could find that’s similar is Between the Sheets (by ColourPop). Velvet Peach is just more nude compared to Between the Sheets which has more pink in it.  

 Adorable Pink is almost the exact same colour as Never Been Kissed.  

And Treasure Rose is very similar to Cruel intentions.
