Here’s what I wore Tuesday January 6. I love pulling my H&M x Kangol jumper out of my closet when the weather is really cold, and luckily, it’s roomy enough to fit a baby bump.
(Hat – Topshop, jumper – H&M, dress – Next Maternity, tights – H&M MAMA, shoes – Asos Design)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I definitely prefer super sparkly, shiny shimmer eyeshadows, but it was also fun to play with these satin shades.

I have an indie make-up haul to share with you today. I made an order from Cosmic Beauty and one from Monolith. Let’s begin with the Cosmic Beauty products.
I purchased the entire Cosmic Beauty Starlight collection. It includes the Starlight Society palette, the Astral Radiance highlighter trio, two tinted lip oils, two liquid lipsticks, and four metallic gel liners.
The Starlight Society palette is another stunner from Cosmic Beauty. Cosmic Beauty is one of my favourite eyeshadow brands, and this colour story is so gorgeous. I created this look with the palette.
I really like the highlighter formula from Cosmic Beauty as well, and I’ve used the Astral Radiance highlighter trio so much in December.
The four lip products in the collection are (from left to right) two lip oils in the shades Ritual and Spellbound, and two liquid lipsticks in the shades Andromeda and Eternal. I’ve only worn the Andromeda liquid lipstick so far, and it wasn’t my favourite shade nor formula.
So far, I really like the metallic gel liners. The shades are called (from left to right) Sunburst, Astral, Whimsical, and Charms.
Let’s move on to the stuff I bought from Monolith. I had to have the Fantasy Cosmetica x Battybean The Witch’s Familiar palette. I really enjoy Battybean’s Youtube channel, and I love this colour story and Fantasy Cosmetica’s formulas. I wore the palette on my eyes here.
This is the Gourmande Girls Nevermore palette, and it’s so dark and murky. I created this look with it, and I loved it.
The Dieverune Cosmetics Bizarre Botanicals palette is another stunning palette. I also loved this look I created with it, and I was very impressed by the quality of the shadows.
I picked up the Unearthly Cosmetics Dark Dreamscape palette and one of the Dark Dreamscape Sparkle Balms from the Dark Dreamscape collection. This is another palette with a colour story right up my street, and I wore it here. The Dark Dreamscape Sparkle Balm is in the shade Nightmare, and I haven’t worn it yet.
Lastly, I got the Singe Beauty Paisley Hoot palette and two of the Singe Beauty Evocative lip liners. The lip liners are in the shades Tender Teak and Jazzy Juniper. The palette is a very pretty neutral-leaning palette, and I wore it here.
Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. I love how this look turned out. Especially the eye look, but the lip is fun too.

Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: MAC Liptensity lip pencil in Galaxy Grey + MAC Dazzlelips crayon in Lunar Violet)
Here’s what I wore on New Year’s Eve. I obviously had to wear the sequin maternity skirt again on New Year’s Eve, and I styled it with dark purple and turquoise, which I thought was fitting for an evening look.
(Blazer – Crás, top – second hand, skirt – Mamalicious, tights – Monki, heels – & Other Stories)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like the idea of this eye look, but the shadows were a little hard to work with, which I wasn’t expecting from a Lethal Cosmetics palette.
(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Kosas Revealer concealer (shade: 01 N), powder – e.l.f.

Face make-up: bronzer – Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt shaping stick in Fair, blush – Rare Beauty Soft Pinch matte bouncy blush in Worth, highlighter – Colourpop The Grinch Super Shock highlighter in 2 Sizes 2 Small. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence Soft Touch eyeshadow in 01 The One + Lethal Cosmetics Serpentine palette (shades: Hiss + Cold Blood + Basilisk + Slither), mascara – L’Oréal Panorama volume million mascara in Black, eyeliner – Colourpop High School Musical Crème gel liner in Spring Musical.

Here’s what I wore Monday December 29. This was the last Christmassy outfit I wore in 2025, and even though I’ve loved wearing all of these festive looks, I’m excited to style my growing bump in other non-Christmassy clothes from now on.
Here’s what I wore Sunday December 28. I went to another family get-together, and once again I ate a lot of good food and had a lovely time in the company of family.
