5 favourites – February

February has come to an end, the snow is gone, and little signs of spring have started to show. It has been a long, cold winter, so I’m extra ready for spring this year. We were ill for almost two weeks in the beginning of the month, and the third trimester is giving me a bit of a hard time, so I’m looking forward to some time off before I become a mother of two. I’ve had more time to read and watch TV this past month, which you can see by my favourites from February.

Lanolips 101 Ointment in Raspberry Shortcake: This lip balm has been so good to me this past month. Being ill for so long, my lips needed the hydration, and this is so hydrating! I really like the scent as well.

NYX Wonder Snatch powder (shade: 01 Sugar Serve): I haven’t hauled this powder yet, but I’ve been wearing it a handful of times already, and I really like it. It looks really good on the skin, and I love that it doesn’t have a flat matte finish.

Bridgerton – season 4 (TV series): I was very excited to watch the fouth season of Bridgerton, and it didn’t disappoint. Benedict wasn’t one of my favourite characters in the former three seasons, but I really enjoyed his and Sophie’s love story. Now I’m excited to read the corresponding book.

An Offer From A Gentleman (Bridgertons #2) by Julia Quinn (book): And speaking of Bridgerton books, I read the second one in the beginning of the month, and I really enjoyed it. It’s quite different from season 2 of the TV series, but I really enjoyed getting to know Anthony and Kate on a deeper level.

Return to Half Moon Farm (Tilbage til Half Moon Farm) by Holly Hepburn (book): This is the fourth book by Holly Hepburn that I’ve read, and I really enjoy her feel-good love stories. This particular one is probably my favourite one that I’ve read along side “The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures”.

Two-toned winged liner

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I want to have fun and play with make-up before the baby arrives, and that apparently includes playing around with two-toned winged liner.

Zara + H&M sale haul (January 2026)

I have a collective Zara and H&M haul to share with you today. Everything was on sale except for the last pieces from the e.l.f. x H&M collection.

It’s always a good idea to buy Christmas jumpers on sale after Christmas, so I picked up this cute Home Alone jumper from Zara.

I picked up these four items from the Harry Lambert for Zara x Disney collection. The T-shirt is from the men’s section, but I thought it was really cute, and I liked the orange with the light blue. I love a sweater vest, so I picked up both the Mickey Mouse one and the Minnie Mouse one. Love the colour combos on these as well. And then I got one of the key rings, which is now living on my work backpack.

The last item I got in the Zara sale was this pair of golden mustard slingback heels with big bows on the front.

Let’s move on to the things I picked up from H&M, and let’s begin with coats, because I bought three; a long faux fur leopard print coat, a shorter bomber style leopard print coat with a faux fur collar, and a khaki green coat with a built in scarf. I love to have options, when it comes to outerwear.

These are the four tops I got from H&M. Can you tell that I’m into olive green and khaki at the moment?

I bought two pairs of jeans in the H&M sale. The first pair is for after I’ve given birth, and they’re a pair of flared jeans with a built in belt. The other pair is another pair of straight leg maternity jeans.

Let’s move on to accessories and shoes. I picked up four scarves. Is that a bit excessive? Maybe, but I hate not having scarves that go with all of my different coats, so now I have options.

I also got some white fluffy ear muffs, a pair of corn earrings, and an eye cream spatula and massager set.

And then I bought one pair of shoes in the H&M sale, which is this pair of faux fur leopard print boots. They’re very cute and comfy.

Lastly, I picked up the hand bag and the three perfumes from the e.l.f. x H&M collab. e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of my favourite make-up brands, so I thought this was a fun collab.

Here’s what I’m wearing today February 23. After almost two weeks of illness and a week away from home, I’m excited to get back to putting together outfits and wearing fun make-up looks.

Collective haul (December 2025)

I have a collective accessories, shoes, clothes, and beauty haul to share with you today. I picked up these items back in December. Some of the things were on sale and some of them were not. Let’s begin with accessories.

I got these first pieces of accessories in an Asos sale. The earrings are from the brand True Decadence, the necklace is from ALDO, the chain belt is from My Accessories, and the hair bow is from Easilocks x Asos.

This cute little burgundy sequin handbag is from Asos Design.

I picked up two pairs of stiletto pumps. Is it a little stupid to pick up heels when you can’t wear them for quite a while? Maybe, but I’d been eyeing both of these pairs for a while, so I had to have them. The electric purple ones are from Asos Design and the red floral ones are from H&M.

I have a weakness for fun, oversized T-shirts, so I picked up this pasta one in the Asos sale. It’s from Asos Design, and I wore it here.

I’ve dreamed of this Stine Goya coat since probably spring last year, so when I found it 60% off with an extra 10% off, I had to finally get it. This colour is what dreams are made of, at least my colourful dreams.

I haven’t tried this brand Sundae Body before, but I was intrigued by their Candy Cane Whipped shower foam, since I love anything candy cane scented.

Let’s move on to the make-up I got from Monolith back in December. I had to have the Dede Signature Festive Elegance palette, because it such a stunning Christmas-themed palette.

Another Christmas-themed palette that I picked up was the Glaminatrix Cosmetics Merry Chrissy palette, which is themed around the Australian Christmas.

The last Christmas-themed palette I got was the Gourmande Girls Mostly Merry palette. This is not my favourite colour story, but the packaging is so cute.

The Unearthly Cosmetics Dead Cute collection really is cute, and I had to have the palette and the 4pcs lipstick set. The lipsticks are in the shades (from left to right) Toxic Taffy, Bubble Scream, Vampire Truffle, and Ghost Milk.

The last four products are from the newest limited edition collection from MAC called Metamorphosis. I bought the Face & Eye palette, the Macximal silky matte lipstick in Juiced Raspberry, the Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Frolic, and the lip pencil in Spiced Tea. I still love limited edition MAC.

Lyko Cyber Week haul (December 2025)

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. These are the products I picked up during their Cyber Week sale.

I picked up two base products; the Maybelline Grippy serum primer and a back-up of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer in shade 2. I’d heard good things about the Maybelline Grippy serum primer, and even though I’ve only used it a few times so far, it seems to be a very nice primer.

Let’s move on to eye products. I got two eyeshadow sticks; the MAC Dazzleshadow eye shadow stick in Bedazzled Denim and the Rimmel Turn Up the Volume Wonder shadow stick in 008 Green Grove. Both are really pretty.

For eyes, I also picked up two of the Moira Prism Pop pigments in 001 Sugar Plum and 002 Happy Holo and one of the Moira Chrome Light Shadows in 010 Aquamarine. I haven’t tried any of these yet, so I don’t know if they’re any good.

I got some back-ups of some of my favourite mascaras; the Catrice Pure Volume Magic Brown mascara (which wasn’t on sale) and the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascaras in Green Altitude, Burgundy Haze, and Blue Mist. Blue Mist is a new shade to me though.

I’ve been intrigued by the Make Up Store Iconic Luster blushes and Iconic Radiance highlighter ever since I first saw them, so I decided to get three shades of the blushes (20 Frosted Pink, 30 True Pink, and 40 Vintage Rose) and the highlighter in the shade 10 Pearl Glow. I’m really liking these so far.

These are the other cheek products I bought. I got the Maybelline Sunkisser matte liquid blush in 38 Pink Ripple, the Rimmel Turbocharged Glow in 001 Not A Basic B and 004 Chelsea Glow, and the Moira Glow Show liquid highlighter in 001 Vanilla Bliss. I haven’t worn the Maybelline Sunkisser matte liquid blush yet, but it was love at first sight with the other three products. I’m wearing the Rimmel Turbocharged Glows here, and I was so impressed by the application, the pigmentation, the finish, and the wear.

Lastly, I picked up two lip products; I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet in Pomegranate and the rom&nd The Juicy Lasting Tint in 10 Summer Scent. Both products are beautiful on the lips.
