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 ♥

THRIFT SHOPPING VOL.1: VERO MODA, LINDEX, NOISY MAY & GINA TRICOT

My mom and I recently visited our local thrift shop called Fretex and I ended up going home with a couple of goodies! I personally love thrift shops, I think that they are really fun but it's not often that I come across items that I really like and want to buy. I found a couple of cute items on this trip to Fretex and I thought that it would be fun to do a post about them and make this into a new series here on Makeup, Beauty & Fashion.

Let's take a closer look at what I ended up taking home with me. Be sure to let me know in the comments down below how you would style these pieces! :-)

 ♥ Top from Vero Moda. 

 ♥ Sweater from Lindex. 

 ♥ Sweater from Noisy May. 

 ♥ Top from Gina Tricot. 

♥ Earrings. 

I'm really happy with everything that I found at Fretex this time around. I think everything looks super cute and I can't wait to style them and wear them out when it gets a bit warmer outside. I have already created a couple of looks in my mind, which I'm thinking about sharing with you in a ''Outfit Of The Day'' post. Is that something that you be interested in seeing?

What item above is your personal favorite? If I had to choose just one favorite, I think I would have to go with the black lace top from Vero Moda or the white knitted sweater from Lindex. I'm obsessed with both of them and I'm already looking forward to wearing them! :-) 

Next time your in your local thrift shop and can't find anything that you like, just remember to be patient and don't give up. The good stuff is usually hiding amongst the clothes on the racks, so just take your time and keep looking. If you do that, you will most likely find a good bargain! :-)

What do you think about the items that I picked up at Fretex? What's your opinion on thrift shops? How often do you visit them? :-) 

- Love, Christine ♥
