5 favourites – March

Spring is in the air, which means that I’ll have another baby soon, and I can’t wait! Therefore, I’ve also decided to take an indefinite break from blogging after the baby is born. I’ve been blogging consistently for the past 16 years, and the only “longer” break I took was when I had my first child. But having two children will definitely take up even more of my time, which it should, so this will be my last 5 favourites post in a long time and maybe ever. I’m not sure if I’ll ever start blogging again, but who knows, maybe I’ll miss it too much:) I will continue to post outfits, make-up looks, and hauls until the baby arrives, but this will be my “official” farewell. However, I do have some favourites from the month of March, so let’s talk about those.

Onesize B12 Base Thinner: This is the first and only Onesize product I’ve tried so far, but I’m loving it. It’s a pretty unique product and perfect for someone like me, who prefers light coverage foundations, because then I can get more use out of my medium and full coverage foundations by mixing this base thinner with the product. It sheers out the coverage of any foundation and adds a subtle glow to it, and I love that.

Huda Beauty Easy Bake pressed powder (shade: Cherry Blossom Cake): I really enjoy the loose version of this powder, but lately this pressed version has been my go-to pink undereye powder. It’s so good.

Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks (various shades): I’ve been loving a metallic lip this past month, and the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks are some of favourites. It’s such a pigmented, beautiful metallic lipstick formula, and I love the fun and extensive shade range. The picture shows the shades from the Dead Cute collection, which have been the ones I’ve worn this past month.

PHLUR Vanilla Skin body mist: I really enjoy the PHLUR body mists, and Vanilla Skin has been my most worn scent this past month. I think it’s a very well-rounded vanilla scent.

Sommerdahl (The Sommerdahl Murders) (TV series): I really enjoy both reading and watching crime fiction, and I think there’s a lot of great Danish books and TV in that category. I finally got around to watching the Danish TV series called Sommerdahl (or The Sommerdahl Murders), and I really like it. I’m almost done with the third season, and I think the show is on season 7, so I still have lots of episode to watch.

Overall shimmer heavy

Here’s what I wore Thursday March 19. My youngest sister hosted a birthday dinner, so I thought I would wear a skirt and dress up a bit.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 18. The olive green T-shirt just fit over my baby bump, which made me very happy, because I thought it would look great paired with my satiny robe.

Beauty Bay haul – a lot of sale items (January 2026)

I have a collective Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. They had a really big sale back in January and their website has since been down, but it looks like it’s back up, and it’s had a makeover. I took advantage of the sale, and I also picked up my first products from Flower Knows.

By BEAUTY BAY had just launched a new eyeshadow palette in a new format right before the big sale, and since I buy most limited edition palettes from By BEAUTY BAY I had to pick it up. It’s called the Wanderscape 20 colour palette.

The rest of the products were on sale apart from some of the Flower Knows stuff. I got another palette from Samplr. This is the #01_ENERGY 25-pan colour palette. I liked the first palette I got from Samplr, and I like the single shadows/customisable concept of the Samplr palettes. I created this look with this particular palette.

I got this Trixie Cosmetics Play Pigment in Pac Ma’am, which I think is mainly meant for the eyes, but I guess you can use it however you like.

From Anastasia Beverly Hills I got the Smooth Blur contour stick in Halftone, the Lip Velvet in Blackberry, and a mini Brow Wiz in Ash Brown. The contour stick came a little smooshed, but I can still use it, and I like it so far. I love the Lip Velvet formula from ABH, and the Blackberry shade was on my wishlist, and I’ve never tried the Brow Wiz, so I thought I would give it a go.

I’ve been really enjoying the Sacheu Beauty lip liner STAY-IN in getREDy, so I decided to get the Bestseller Bundle, which includes the shades 02 MUAH-ve, 03 p-INKED, and 04 HEY-zal.

I bought these four blushes in the sale; the MAC Extra Dimension blush in Wrapped Candy, two Urban Decay Face Bond blushes in the shades Touch Me and Slow Burn, and the Urban Decay Hydromaniac Blush Glow Hydrator in Red Flag. I haven’t tried the Urban Decay Hydromaniac Blush Glow Hydrator yet, but I really like the other three blushes.

Let’s move on to the items I got from Flower Knows. This brand might not be perfect for my make-up taste and use, but the packaging is stunning. So I decided to get the Flower Knows Shell’s Jewel Collection satin blush in Luna Pearl and the Flower Knows Shell’s Jewel Collection 6-Color makeup palette in Moonlight Pearl (which was actually on sale, when I bought it). These products are almost too pretty to use.

I also got the Flower Knows Shell’s Jewel Collection highlighter balm & charm sets in Blue Tears (not sale) + Moonlight Stone (sale). The packaging on these are not as nice as the packaging on the blush and the eyeshadow palette though.

The last product I purchased from Flower Knows was the Strawberry Cupid Dall Day Glow liquid blush in 04 Apple Glow. Such cute packaging as well.

Lastly, I got two gifts with my two orders. I got a Flower Knows Midsummer Fairytales Collection hand mirror in White Vanilla and a By BEAUTY BAY lip liner in Whip.

Neutral eyes and red lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Even though I prefer a colourful eye look, I do think that there’s something about a neutral eye look paired with a red lip.

Face make-up: bronzer – Revlon SkinLights Prismatic bronzer in 110 Sunlit Glow, blush – Moira Marvelous baked blush in 008 Cherry Crumble, highlighter – Catrice More Than Glow highlighter in 010 Ultimate Platinum Glaze. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence Soft Touch eyeshadow in 01 The One + Fantasy Cosmetica Artificer palette (shades: Craft + Build + Infusion + Acid-Etched + Alloy), mascara – L’Oréal Panorama volume million mascara in Black, eyeliner – MAC Powersurge eye kohl. Eyebrows: NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen in Ash Brown + e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift. Lips: Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner + lipstick in Devoted)

Patterns and fabrics

Here’s what I wore Monday March 16. I find this floral blazer difficult to style, but I thought it would be fun to wear over the red and white striped T-shirt to create some contrast between patterns and fabrics.
