Here’s what I wore Monday May 15. I hadn’t worn a skirt in ages, and I’m not quite sure why. This new denim one was very nice and lightweight and perfect for slightly warmer weather.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Cosmic Brushes Serenity palette on my eyes for the first time, and I do get why this palette is so hyped. I think this eye look turned out so pretty.

Here’s what I wore Saturday May 13. I didn’t actually wear the shoes out, but they just went so well with the dress, so I had to wear them for these pictures.

I have my first ever R.E.M. Beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased some of the products from Feelunique and the rest from Sephora.
I picked up three of the Interstellar highlighters. They’re in the shades (from left to right) Miss Mercury, Miss Neptune, and Mama Earth. Miss Mercury is a champagne shade, Miss Neptune is a lavender, and Mama Earth is green. So far I really like this highlighter formula.
These are the lip products and the other cheek product I purchased. I got the Eclipse Cheek & Lip stick in Broadway Baby, the Essential Drip lip oil in Lavender Kiss, the On Your Collar matte lipstick in Wine n Dine, and two of the On Your Collar classic lipsticks in Attention and Cabernet.
Here are some close ups of all the different shades. I really like the packaging which looks kind of space and/or astronaut themed.
Lastly, I picked up two of the Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadows and the Midnight Shadows eyeshadow gloss. The Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadows are in the shades Fembot and Science Fair. I’m especially loving the shade Fembot.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a blue eye look, and I think this more sharp, winged out version turned out so pretty. I also love the mauvy pink lip.

Here’s what I wore Thursday May 11. I love this all blue look! It’s simple and comfy, but still really fun. I also loved the make-up I wore with this outfit, which will be my next post.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Purple and green just always look great together, and I guess this entire make-up look has a bit of a jungle theme:)

This is my collective beauty haul from February. It’s a good mix of everything when it comes to make-up. I’m going to group the products by the store/online shop I purchased them from.
Let’s begin with the products I purchased from Zalando. I love a coloured mascara, so I was very intrigued by the Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascaras. I picked up the shades 01 (Metallic Purple), 07 (Navy Blue), and 08 (Jungle Green). The formula is very nice, and the colours are pretty.
I also purchased three of the Kiko Milano Velvet Passion matte lipsticks. I picked the shades Sapphire Green, Imperial Blu, and Light Sienna. I wore the navy blue one here.
From Maybelline I picked up another shade of the Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lip colours, and it’s in the shade 120 Punchy. I also got two more of the Green Edition Balmy Lip Blushes, and they’re in the shades 003 Sunshine and 007 Moonlight. I love both of these lipstick formulas.
I purchased the next four products from Magasin, and I got them all 20% off. I’ve been wanting to try the Nars Light Reflecting foundation for so long, and I picked up the shade Mont Blanc, which was supposed to match my skin, but I think it’s a little dark. I can make it work though. I also picked up the Sephora Collection Color Shifter face palette in Rose Fantasy, the Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon lipstick red case plus Fenty Icon lipstick in Kissin’ Kutie, and another shade of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blushes. It’s in the shade Encourage.
Here’s a closer look at the Sephora Collection Color Shifter face palette in Rose Fantasy. It includes a powder blush, a powder bronzer, a shimmery topper, and a cream blush.
And here’s what the Fenty Icon lipstick looks like in the beautiful red case.
These next five products are from Sephora.
I picked up another shade of the Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch highlighter. It’s the pink shade called Mesmerize, and it’s stunning!
I picked up the following three lip products: Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Juicy Satin lipstick in Go Deep (70% off on sale), Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush matte lipstick in Dragon Mami (50% off on sale), and Pat McGrath Labs Lip Fetish Divinyl lip shine in Temptress (70% off on sale).
And then I got the Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper I 25 Eau de Parfum 10 ml 20% off. I love Kayali scents!
From Matas (the Danish drugstore) I picked up two more of the Clarins Instant Comfort lip oils. I got 04 Pitaya and 08 Strawberry. This is one of my favourite lip oil formulas if not my top favourite. I also purchased two Gosh Velvet Touch lip liners. They’re in the shades 001 Nougat Crisp and 002 Antique Rose, and they’re both beautiful shades.
Lastly, I finally got my hands on the Cosmic Brushes Serenity palette, and at the same time I also purchased the Cosmic Brushes Royal Rose palette.
I see why this palette is so hyped up. The colour story is stunning, and the one look I’ve created with it so far turned out beautiful.
The Royal Rose palette also looks beautiful. I haven’t played with it yet, but I’m excited to be doing so hopefully soon.
It’s the last day of spring (calendar-wise), and I’m so excited about the warmer weather we’ve been having lately. June will be my last month on maternity leave, however, in July I’m taking vacation time, and then I’m going back to work in August (or July 31 to be exact). I’ll try to really enjoy the rest of my maternity leave and the summer. But first, let’s talk about some favourites from the month of May, which are all make-up products.
Missha M Perfect Cover B.B Cream Spf 42 (shade: 21 Light Beige): When you first apply this product, it looks almost grey, but as you blend it out, they grey undetone disappears, and it just looks beautiful on the skin. It has great coverage as well.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder (shade: Fair/Medium): The original Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder is one of my absolute favourite powders, so I was very excited to try the brigthening version. It’s definitely brightening, and it looks beautiful on the undereye area.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift: The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze is my all time favourite brow gel, but this one from e.l.f. Cosmetics is a very good alternative. They look and feel quite similar. The only difference I’ve found is that the ABH Brow Freeze keeps the hold longer, but I still really enjoy the e.l.f. Cosmetics version (which is also a lot more affordable).
Colourpop Super Shock cheeks: These are a new obsession of mine. I’ve completely fallen in love with the Super Shock cheek formulas. I love both the bronzer and blushes as well as the highlighters. I’ve worn all the colours you see in the picture plus more throughout May.
Hydrating lip tints/lip stains: I decided to put these two products as one favourite, because they’re similar in multiple ways. I’ve been loving these hydrating liquid lip products which tint the lips and leave a stain. The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch tinted lip oils are very liquidy and thin, whereas the Fenty Beauty Poutsicle hydrating lip stains are a little thicker in texture. Both products are stunning on the lips and so comfortable.
