Soft and toned down

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is a very soft and toned down make-up look, which is not something I wear very often, but I think it’s a pretty look nonetheless.

Clothing limitation

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 11. I feel pretty limited when it comes to clothing I can fit right now, so getting dressed is all about being creative with what I’ve got.

Colourpop haul (January 2026)

I have a collective Colourpop haul to share with you today. I purchased some items from this year’s Valentine’s collection, a few new lip products, and the entire The Twilight Saga Eclipse collection.

I’ve loved Valentine’s palettes from Colourpop previous years (my favourite being the Flirty Talk palette), so I was excited to try this year’s palette, the Heart to Get palette, as well. I wore it last weekend, and it was cute, but not my favourite.

However, I absolutely love the three Super Shock blushes that launched with the Valentine’s collection. They’re all in the pearlized finish, and they’re stunning glowy blushes. They’re called (from left to right) Not Your Baby, Feeling’s Mutual, and Cuter Than Cupid.

I also bought these three lip products. I got a set of two of the new Cloud Whip blurring liquid lipsticks in Sky’s the Limit and On Cloud 9. I also picked up the Disney Princess Ultra Glossy Lip in Courageous Rapunzel. I really like these lip products.

As I mentioned I picked up the entire Colourpop x The Twilight Saga Eclipse collection.

All of the now three eyeshadow palettes Colourpop has released in their Twilight collections have captured the colour scheme of the corresponding films so well including the Eclipse palette.

I really like the Jelly Much shadows from Colourpop and this collection includes two shades called in Cullen Coven and Newborn Army.

The Colourpop Super Shock highlighter formula is one of my favourites, so I’m always excited about adding a new shade to my collection. This one is called Change Me. I have to say that I don’t prefer this big packaging though.

The collection also includes two Lippie Pencil + Lippie Stix kits in Opposites Attract (Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale) and New Love (Jasper Hale and Alice Cullen). I’m excited to try this creamy Lippie Stix formula.

This last product is new from Colourpop and it’s the Powder-to-Crème lipstick in the shade Newborn. I have worn this, but I didn’t love it.

Dark monochromatic purple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had to do a dark monochromatic purple look with this outfit, and I love it.

Mum’s tunic

Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 10. My mum wore the tunic when she was pregnant with my youngest sister. I didn’t wear it during my first pregnancy, but I thought I would try to style it this time around and paired it with other purple pieces.

Fun, colourful sneakers

Here’s what I wore Sunday March 8. I’d been wanting to wear these fun Nike Cortez sneakers for so long, because I love the colour combo, but I found them difficult to style. Then this outfit slowly came together, and the sneakers went perfectly with the look.
