Greens and warm golds

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love the mix of greens with the warm golden shades on the eyes; I think they create a really pretty contrast.

Colourpop Black Friday haul (November 2025)

Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale for Black Friday, and these are the products I decided to purchase.

I really wanted the How The Grinch Stole Christmas palette and the Change of Heart Super Shock highlighter kit from The Grinch collection, but I didn’t want to buy just those two items when the collection launched, so I was hoping that they would still be in stock and on sale for Black Friday, so I could pick them up. I think the colour story and quality of the palette are lovely, and I love Super Shock highlighters, and these two shades, 2 Sizes Too Small and Grew 3 Sizes, are so pretty. I’m wearing the palette and the pink highlighter here.

I’ve been so impressed by the other two Bratz Lippie Kits that I’d purchased, so I decided to get one final one (I think). This is the Yasmin kit, which includes the Lippie pencil and Lippie Stix in the shade Pretty Princess.

I picked up a handful more lip products. This is the Just A Tint sheer tint lip crayon in Cutie Fruity and the HydraPop lip stain in Fruit Punch.

And I love anything candy cane scented, so I got the Mistletoe Kisses Fresh Kiss Lip Scrub + Mask + Balm Set.

Lastly, I picked up a bunch of products from the Pretty Fresh line. I got the Pretty Fresh Lock It In setting spray and the Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer as a set. Both are back-ups. I also decided to give the Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer another try. I used to own it, but in the wrong shade, but now that I have it in the right shade (Fair 1 N), I really enjoy it. I’m also really liking the Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer, which I bought in the shade Fair 10 N.

Feel good purples

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t worn make-up in 11 days, so I wanted to wear something that would me feel good, and a purple eye look always does that.

And happy Valentine’s Day, btw:)

The flu that won’t go away

Here’s what I wore yesterday Thursday February 12. I’ve been ill the entire month so far, and I’m still not all well yet, but I’m finally starting to feel a little better. That’s also why I won’t have a lot of outfits and make-up looks to show you the next week or so, but luckily, I have quite a few hauls to post.

Sephora Black Friday haul + December haul (2025)

I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. First, I’m going to go through the products I picked up in their Black Friday sale. Afterwards, I’m going to show you the things I picked up in December. Some of those things were new, and some were on sale. I also got some gifts with my purchases, which I’ll add in the end.

I own the most perfumes from KAYALI, and I love most of their scents. These two scents had been on my wishlist for a while, so I decided to finally pick them up in the Black Friday sale. It’s The Wedding Velvet Santal 35 and the Oudgasm Cafe Oud 19.

I also got this The 7 Virtues Mini Vanilla giftset, which includes two mini perfumes in Vanilla Woods and Candied Lychee.

From Rare Beauty, I bought the Selena’s Fav Mini Set, which comes with a mini Rare perfume and the Soft Pinch dewy liquid blush in Happy. I also thought I would get one of the fragrance layering balms and picked Woody Oak.

The last set I got in the BF sale was the Kosas Blush Is Life trio, which comes with the three shades Euphoria, Dare, and Spellbound. I’ve been really enjoying these blushes.

Moving on to the items I picked up in December. I got a back-up of the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint in shade 2, because it was on sale, and it’s one of my favourite foundations/skin tints. I also got the Onesize B12 Base Thinner, because it sounded like an interesting product, and I’d heard good things about it.

I know, I got some more fragrances. I was very intrigued by the scents from Le Monde Gourmand and decided to try the one called Chai Épicé, and I really like it. I also had to try a couple of the new KAYALI Freedom scents. I chose Freedom Musk Matcha 45 and Freedom Musk Latte 41.

I purchased these last two palettes from the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked: For Good collection on sale. It’s the Ozian Forest eyeshadow palette and the Cherry Blossom blush palette in Warm Coral. The eyeshadow palette performed very well (I wore it here), whereas I haven’t tried the blush palette yet, but it looks very pretty.

Lastly, I received these gifts with my orders. I got the Huda Beauty Easy Bake setting spray mini and then the Holiday Beauty Box, which included a bunch of different stuff.

Gingerbread bakery

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always fun trying out a new pastel eyeshadow palette, however, even though the Simply Posh Cosmetics Gingerbread Bakery palette wasn’t as bad as I’ve heard some people say I was, I do agree that some of the pastel mattes lack pigment.

(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic acid tinted moisturizer (shade: Fair 1 N), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer (shade: Fair 10 N), powders – Essence Flawless Skin Trio loose setting powder in 10 + e.l.f.

Pastels and overalls

Here’s what I wore Saturday January 31. I felt like wearing pastels, and this cardigan looked pretty cute paired with my maternity denim overalls.

Contrasts are fun

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post, the make-up look was more dramatic than the outfit, but contrasts are fun.

Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Colourpop Pretty Fresh hyaluronic creamy concealer (shade: Fair 10 N), powders – Essence Harley Quinn Pink loose setting powder in 01 Harley Vibes + e.l.f.

Comfy and cosy with dramatic

Here’s what I wore Friday January 30. I was working from home that day, so I opted for a very comfy and cosy outfit (paired with a slightly more dramatic make-up look).
