COLOURPOP COSMETICS BEAUTY HAUL: ULTRA MATTE LIP, LIPPIE STIX AND ULTRA SATIN LIP

Today's blog post is going to be a beauty haul. I ordered a bunch of lip products from ColourPop Cosmetics when they were having 20% off their entire website a couple off weeks ago. My package arrived last week and I couldn't be more happier with the shades that I picked up. I'm excited to share them with you, so let's jump straight into it! :-)

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL: GERARD COSMETICS, H&M, MAC COSMETICS, OPI, NAILS INC, MAKEUP REVOLUTION, FREEDOM MAKEUP & MORE

Today, I have a collective beauty haul to share with you. I bought most of these products a while ago, but some were purchased just a couple of days ago. The amazing team over at Makeup Revolution and Freedom Makeup also sent me a couple of items to try out from their range of beauty products, so I thought that I would include them in this post as well.

Let me know if you have tried out any of the products down below. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on them. As always, if you would like to see reviews on any of the products mentioned in this post, let me know in the comments down below and I will work on that. Hope you enjoy the post! :-) 

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, (HERE) Rebel, (HERE) & Strobe Cream, (HERE).  

I stopped by the MAC Cosmetics beauty counter in the duty free store on our way back home from Thailand. I decided to splurge on a couple of items that I've had on my wishlist for a long time. I bought two lipsticks, Velvet Teddy and Rebel. I also picked up their Strobe Cream, which looks really nice. I have already tried it out, but I don't know what I think about it yet. I will have to get back to you on that one, once I've tried it out some more! :-)

 ♥ Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in 1995, (HERE) & Lighted Lip Gloss in Plum Crazy, (HERE). 

Gerard Cosmetics is a brand that I have been wanting to try out for such a long time. I finally decided to place an order and I couldn't be more happier with the two items that I ended up with. I wanted something neutral that I knew I would use a lot, so I decided to pick up their lipstick in 1995 and Lighted Lip Gloss in Plum Crazy. How gorgeous are these colors? Aaaah, I can't wait to use them both! :-)

 ♥ H&M Nail Polish in Hydrangea, (HERE), Beet It, (HERE) & OPI Nail Polish in You're Such a Budapest, (HERE). 

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I love nail polish. I recently picked up two more nail polishes from H&M's beauty range. I got my nails done in Thailand with H&M's nail polish in Full-On Fuchsia and it held up a whole week on my nails without any chipping. I didn't expect it to last that long on my nails, because it's really hot and humid in Thailand. So I'm very impressed with these, highly recommend that you check them out if you haven't done it already.

I also picked up You're Such a Budapest by OPI, which I have been wanting to get my hands on ever since it first came out. I'm super excited to paint my nails with this color, it's the perfect color now that we are heading into Spring in Norway! :-)

♥ Nails Inc The New Whites in Lilly Road, (HERE) & White Horse Street, (HERE). 

Nails Inc is a brand that I have heard so many wonderful things about. When I saw that they were having a sale on The New Whites Collection at the mall, I decided to pick up a couple of shades. I ended up with Lilly Road and White Horse Street, which looks gorgeous. How pretty are the bottles? I think they are stunning and they are quite heavy as well! :-)

 ♥ Lindex Gelpolish in Dark Plum & Gelpolish Top Coat, (HERE).

 ♥ Lindex Lip Liner in Dark Plum, (HERE). 

Lindex just re-opened up their store at the mall and they now have a new and approved beauty range. I haven't tried out any of their beauty products yet, which is why I wanted to pick up a couple of items. I ended up with their Gelpolish in Dark Plum as well as their Gelpolish Top Coat. I also picked up their lip liner in Dark Plum as well, which looks gorgeous. I swatched it at the store and fell in love with the color, hopefully it's good! :-)

 ♥ The Original MakeUp Eraser, (HERE). 

Another product that I'm really excited about is The Original Makeup Eraser. This is a cloth that removes your makeup with just water. I have heard lovely things about this product, so I can't wait to try it out for myself. I really hope that it works, imagine how much money you can save on makeup remover if it does! :-) 

 ♥ Makeup Revolution Flawless 2 Eyeshadow Palette, (HERE). 

 ♥ Makeup Revolution Flawless 2 Eyeshadow Palette, (HERE).

 ♥ Freedom Makeup Pro Artist Pad Black Arts, (HERE). 

♥ Freedom Makeup Pro Artist Pad Black Arts, (HERE). 

 The lovely team over at Makeup Revolution and Freedom Makeup sent me a nice care package with a couple of their new products to try out. I love the look of the two eyeshadow palettes that they sent me, the colors look so pretty. I really wanted to try out the Pro Artist Pad Black Arts by Freedom Makeup after seeing Dyna do a video about it on her YouTube channel. She raves about it in her video, (HERE), so I'm super excited to try it out for myself. I'm so thankful that Freedom Makeup sent it to me, I can't wait to play around with it.

Dyna is one of my favorite girls on YouTube, I always get so excited when she uploads a new video. If you haven't checked out her channel yet, you should do it. You can find her here! :-)

 Have you bought any new beauty products lately? What did you buy? Would you like to see reviews on any of the products above? Thanks for checking out my post, I really appreciate it! :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

BEAUTY HAUL: H&M

Today's blog post is going to be all about the new beauty range from H&M. They recently upgraded their entire makeup range and stepped up their packaging game. When I saw photos of their new products, I immediately went on their website and placed an order.

Their prices are a bit higher than what they used to be, so I'm looking forward to see how the quality is and how they compare to their former range. I personally think that their previous beauty range looked a bit cheap and fragile, now they actually look sleek and very classy. So if you want to see what I picked up from their new beauty range, then keep reading! :-) 

 ♥ H&M Nail Polishes in Go To Greige, (HERE), Cloudburst, (HERE) & Bitter Chocolate, (HERE). 

 ♥ H&M Eyeshadow Palette in Smoky Nudes, (HERE). 

 ♥ H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blushes in Cantaloupe, (HERE) & Sunrise Pink, (HERE). 

 ♥ H&M Lipstick in Brunette Ambition, (HERE).

♥ H&M Quick Dry Nail Spray, (HERE). 

Their new beauty range consists of everything from single eyeshadows/palettes, blushes and bronzers to foundations, powders, concealers and everything else in between. I picked up a gorgeous eyeshadow palette, two blushes, one lipstick, three nail polishes and a quick drying nail spray which I'm very intrigued to test out. I haven't tried a quick drying nail spray before, so I'm excited to try it out and see if it works or not.

We'll see what I think about the products when I have had a chance to play around with them. If you would like to see reviews on any of the products featured in this post, let me know in the comments down below! :-)  

What do you think about the new beauty range from H&M? Do you like the packaging? Will you be picking up anything from the range? :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

BEAUTY HAUL: COLOURPOP COSMETICS

Today's blog post is going to be a quick haul featuring the items that I ordered from ColourPop Cosmetics a couple of weeks ago. ColourPop has been the talk of the town for quite some time now and a very popular brand among beauty bloggers all around the world. With their lovely products and amazing prices, there is no doubt that they are here to stay! :-) 

 ♥ ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Lip in Trap, (HERE), Solow, (HERE) & Bumble, (HERE). 

When I saw that ColourPop tweeted about their new Ultra Matte Lips, I immediately jumped on their website to browse through the color selection. I ended up with only three Ultra Matte Lips in my cart and I'm quite proud of myself, ha ha. I have never been that into matte lips, so I thought that it would be best to start with a couple of shades, just in case they are not my cup of tea.

I picked up Trap, Solow and Bumble, which are all on the more neutral side. All three shades look really pretty, so I'm excited to test them out and see how I like them.

♥ ColourPop Cosmetics Where The Light Is, (HERE).

I also ended up adding the Where The Light Is foursome to my shopping cart, which was created by the lovely KathleenLights on YouTube. I think this little foursome of eyeshadows look beautiful so I can't wait to play around with them. I'm a big fan of Kathleen, she has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Would you like to see swatches and a review on this collection?  

What are your thoughts on the new Ultra Matte Lips from ColourPop? Will you be picking up any shades from the range? What do you think about the KathleenLights collaboration with ColourPop? Do you like the colors that she created? :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

I have been wanting to do this post for a while now, so I'm glad that it's finally up and running. As always, be sure to let me know if there are any products here that you would like me to do a review on. I'm already planning on doing a review on the Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette as well as the Soar lip liner and Brave lipstick from MAC Cosmetics.

SNEAK PEEK: ELEGANT TOUCH

  Around 2 weeks ago, I received an amazing care package from the lovely people over at Elegant Touch. They sent me a bunch of their items to try out, which I'm super stoked about. I'm so grateful to Elegant Touch for sending me these lovely items to play around with, I can't wait to share my thoughts on them with you guys in future blog posts.

Today, I thought that I would do a quick post and show you the items that they included in my package. This is just a sneak peek post of what you can expect to see more of on my blog during the next upcoming weeks. I'm really excited, because I have been wanting to do more nail related posts on my blog. Now, there is definitely more of that coming your way and I couldn't be more excited about it. But enough with the rambling, let's take a closer look at the goodies from Elegant Touch and Eylure! :-)

 ♥ Elegant Touch Waikiki Beach, (HERE), Speckled Eggs, (HERE) & Eleanor, (HERE). 

 ♥ Elegant Touch Express Press-On Instant Manicure in French Pink, (HERE), Polished Mushroom, (HERE), Polished Vibrant Orange, (HERE) & Trend Daisy, (HERE). 

 ♥ House Of Holland Nailed by Elegant Touch in Vamps, (HERE) & Copacabana, (HERE).

♥ Elegant Touch Gel Rocks in Just Say Yes, (HERE) & That's Mint, (HERE).

They also carry the brand Eylure, which is the world leading eyelash brand. They were kind enough to include a couple of their eyelash styles in the package as well. I'm not the best at applying false eyelashes, but I believe that practice makes perfect. I absolutely love how false eyelashes look, they just pull the entire makeup look together and makes you look more awake! :-)

 ¨♥ Eylure Love It, Try It Lengthening Kit, (HERE), Naturals Starter Kit, (HERE) & Texture #157, (HERE).

 ♥ Eylure London The Last Edit, (HERE).

♥ Eylure London The Last Edit, (HERE).

I think that I will be trying out the Gel Rocks in That's Mint first. I have been wanting to paint my nails for a couple of days now, but I have been feeling a bit lazy lately. Mint colored nail polishes are some of my favorites to wear, especially during Spring and Summer. So make sure to keep your pretty eyes open for a nail polish post soon featuring this beautiful color from Elegant Touch! :-) 

Have you tried anything from Elegant Touch or Eylure before? What's your opinion on false eyelashes? Do you like how they look or do you prefer not to wear them at all? :-)

Love, Christine ♥

MY EBAY BEAUTY & FASHION BARGAINS VOL.1: L.A. GIRL COSMETICS, HO UK & MORE

When I saw Dyna from Dyna Drugstore Youtube Beauty Guru on YouTube do a video about her recent findings on eBay, it instantly gave me an idea to start my own little eBay series here on my blog. I have found quite a lot of cute and fun items during the couple of years that I have been a regular shopper on eBay. I'm so happy that Dyna inspired me to start this series on my blog, because I love sharing my favorite finds, deals and bargains with you all.
 

So without any further ado, here are the items that I recently bought on eBay! :-)

 ♥ LA Girl Pro Conceal HD. High Definition Concealer, (HERE). 

Shannon from Shaaanxo on YouTube has been raving about the L.A. Girl HD High Definition Concealer for a while now, so I wanted to pick it up try it out for myself. I ordered it in the shade Natural, which is the second lightest shade in the range. I haven't played around with it much so I can't tell you my thoughts on it yet, but I'm definitely excited to use it. Would you guys be interested in seeing a review on it? :-)

 ♥ HO UK 34 Colors Beauty Makeup Waterproof Lip Pencil Lipstick Lip Gloss Lip Pen, (HERE).

After seeing Dyna from Dyna Drugstore YouTube Beauty Guru on YouTube swatch the entire HO UK liquid lipstick range on her channel, I decided to go on eBay and order a couple of the shades that I really liked from her video. This range has over 30 shades to choose from and they are around £0.99 each, which is super affordable. I haven't tried them out on my lips yet, only swatched them on the back of my hand. They are really pigmented and once they dry, they won't budge. You have to use an oil based makeup remover or some sort of oil to remove them or else they won't come of. Let the oil soak on the lips for a minute, then they should come right off.

Some people say that these are dupes for the Lime Crime Velvetines. I haven't had a chance to try out, the Velvetines, so I can't really tell you if they are similar or not. I used to be a big fan of Lime Crime but after all the scandals, I don't support the brand anymore. If you're not familiar about the whole Lime Crime drama, you can read about it here.

♥ Posh Black Pure Womens Leather Celebrity Tote Bag Smile Shoulder Satchel Handbag, (HERE). 

I have been wanting to get my hands on a Celine bag for the longest time, but it's quite expensive. I came across this bag on eBay a while ago, which has a very similar look as the bag from Celine. I wasn't sure about the quality at first since it's from China, but it actually looks very nice. It's quite small, which is exactly what I have been looking for. It also comes with a shoulder strap, which is really useful if you don't want to carry the bag on your arm.

I have been eyeing the nude version of this bag and I'm thinking about ordering it as well. What do you guys think? Should I go for it? Here is the link to the nude smile bag if you want to take a look! :-)

What do you think about eBay? Do you like it? What's your most recent purchase on eBay? :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

I highly recommend that you check out Dyna's channel on YouTube. I really enjoy watching her videos, she is such a talented and sweet girl and I just know that you are going to love and adore her as much as I do. Make sure to check out her HO UK swatch videos too, you can find them here :-)

NEW IN MY CLOSET VOL.7: H&M

Would you like to see more outfit posts from me? :-)
