Here’s what I wore Monday June 8. This outfit is a mix of many styles, and that is what sometimes happens when you just start putting on different things. I quite like it though.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This eye make-up did not turn out according to plan (the metallic brown shade turned greenish when blended), but I thought I would share it with you anyways, because I actually don’t hate it, and it’s very realistic that things don’t always turn out the way you thought they would.

Here’s what I wore Friday June 5. It was slightly colder than the previous few days, so I layered a short sleeve shirt over a camisol, but stuck with a summery vibe.

About 1,5 months ago I stumpled apon a new limited edition collection from Essence. Essence always makes the cutest limited edition collections and the Bloom Baby, Bloom! collection is no exception. I picked up the eyeshadow palette, the primer oil, the two baked highlighters, and the blushlighter.
I was very intrigued by the colour story of this eyeshadow palette. I’ve only used it once so far, and I wasn’t impressed. Essence eyeshadows varies a lot in pigmentation and quality, and the three shades I’ve used from this palette (the coral, the light peach and the light yellow) were not great. The light yellow and light peach were pretty much invisible, and the coral was just okay. I’m hoping that some of the other shades are better.
The collection includes this Healthy Glow Primer Oil (01 Violet in Bloom). It contains rice oil and vitamin E, and it’s supposed to be caring and skin conditioning. I’ve used it a few times, and so far I like it. It smells really good too.
The products that initially caught my eye were the baked highlighters. They come in two shades; 01 Daisy Me Glowing and 02 Rose & Shine! They are very glittery and shiny. I’ve only worn the light shade (02 Rose & Shine!) so far, which has a really pretty pink duochrome shift to it.
The last product I purchased from the collection is the blushlighter in the shade 01 I Lilac You! I’ve been seeing these blushlighter type products different places lately, and I think it’s an interesting idea. I’ve worn this product once so far, and I actually thought it looked really pretty, so I’m excited to wear it again.
This very last product was not a part of the Bloom Baby, Bloom! collection, but since it’s from Essence I thought I would feature it in this haul. I love Essence blushes; they are some of my favourites. I already have one of the The Blush blushes, which I love, so I thought I would get the other available shade in 20 Bespoke. It’s quite an interesting blush shade since it’s a very bronzy colour, and I thought it would be a perfect addition to my blush collection.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A monochromatic make-up look is always a winner in my book.

Here’s what I wore Thursday June 4. I’ve had the red off-shoulder smock top for almost two years, but this was my first time wearing it for some reason. It’s really cute though, and I really like how it looks paired with relaxed jeans and a pair of colourful heeled sandals.
(Top – H&M, jeans – Monki, heels – second hand)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I went all out with warm yellow and orange tones, and I think this look turned out so fun and summery.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday June 3. I think this look has a Carrie Bradshaw vibe to it. She wore several looks including tank tops, cropped trousers, pinstripes, and animal print.
(Top – H&M, trousers – Monki, heels – second hand)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m obsessed with this whole make-up look! I think the lilac eye make-up is so pretty, and even though it’s very unlike me to wear a nude glossy lip, I think it’s the perfect choice for this look.

Here’s what I wore Thursday May 28. The weather started to get better in the very end of May, so it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new lilac trousers. I wore them with the Mickey and Minnie Mouse T-shirt from the same haul, my new pearl necklace and black heeled sandals, and I love how this whole look turned out.
