Here’s what I wore Saturday September 14. I went for lunch and a bit of shopping with a friend, so I wanted to be really comfortable.

Tribe and triggered
Here’s the make-up I wore Friday September 13. I used the Tribe palette by Juvia’s Place for the first time, and I really like how my eye look turned out. It’s also nice to get back into dark lip colours.

Flared dream
Here’s what I wore Tuesday September 10. These jeans are a flared dream, and they look great paired with my favourite button-up shirt.

Zalando haul: lots of shoes
I’ve been doing a lot of shopping these past couple of months, and I’m really excited about all the things I’ve purchased. This is a Zalando haul with only one piece of clothing and lots of shoes and accessories.
The only piece of clothing in this haul is this Donald Duck sweatshirt from Bershka. I love a good piece of Disney clothing, and this sweatshirt is so nice. I love the laughing Donald Duck and the boxy, relaxed fit.
And now for the shoes. I’ve had these Nike Air Force 1 Sage sneakers in my saved items since they released, and when they went on sale, I had to have them. They’re my first pair of Air Force 1’s, and I love the style, and they are super comfy. I loved this particular pair because of the colour scheme.
I know what you’re thinking; another pair of Nike Cortez sneakers, really? Yes! This is my favourite style of sneaker, and I really wanted a black pair. To be honest, this is probably not my last pair of Cortezs.
I’m on the hunt for a pair of brown knee high boots, and in my search I stumbled upon these Raid tiger print boots. I’m still obsessed with animal print, and these are so fun, so I ordered them, and I love them.
And speaking of animal print, these zebra print boots from Topshop had been in my saved items for months and months, so I thought it was about time that they became mine. I’ve always loved zebra print and look at the sparkly heel! So pretty.
I know summer is over, but these dusty green mules from Monki are another pair of shoes, I’ve been wanting for quite a while, and they were one sale, so I had to get them. I’m looking forward to wear these next summer.
I’ve purchased two leopard (or some other big cat) print bags both from Topshop. I’ve been wanting a bigger bag for a while, and this one is so nice.
The other bag leopard print bag is this little number. You can wear it either as a hand bag or a shoulder bag, and I think it’s the perfect printed bag to wear with most outfits, because of the neutral colour scheme.
Lastly, I got this glittery colourful headband from Topshop. You have actually already seen this in my most recent 5 favourites post, because I just love headbands at the moment.
Distract with colour
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. When you have bad skin just wear fun colourful eye make-up to distract from it:)

Neutral print mixing
Here’s what I wore Thursday September 5. This is one of my favourite outfits I’ve worn this year so far. I love the neutral colour scheme and the mixing of prints.

First impressions: Essence Camouflage+ matte concealer
My last two first impressions posts were also on concealers, but I promise that this is the last concealer one for a little while.
This Essence concealer is super affordable, and it has a nice small pointed applicator. The coverage was not as good as I hoped it would be, but it’s not horrible. As you can see, it looks okay under the eyes, but when I tried to cover up a spot, it removed the foundation in that area. In general, it was difficult to blend in with my foundation, which a good concealer shouldn’t be. It also has a really strong scent that lingers, which I really don’t like. Overall, I’m not a fan of this concealer; I have so many other concealers that I love, so I probably won’t use this one much if at all.
