Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t think I’ve ever done a burgundy and blue eye look like this before, even though I love the colour combo. I might do a similar look again, because I think it turned out really pretty.

Twice a day

Here’s what I wore yesterday Tuesday November 17. I still have a ton of outfits and make-up looks to post from October and the first two weeks of November, but it’s time to wear wintery and christmassy clothing again. Therefore, I’ll be posting my wintery/christmassy outfits throughout the rest of the year, since they’re the most relevant now. It’s also my intention to post the matching make-up looks on the same day as the outfit, so that I get to post all the Christmas looks before New Year’s. That means that I’ll often be posting twice a day the next month and a half. So stay tuned for a make-up post that I’ll post later on today.

Clown-ish

Here’s what I wore Friday October 2. I feel like this look is a bit clown-ish with the big collar and all the bright colours, but I really don’t mind.

Big collective H&M haul pt. 1

It’s time for a big collective H&M haul. Part 1 is going to be clothes, and part 2 is going to be accessories.

It has gotten cold outside, so it’s time for winter coats, scarves and gloves etc. I’ve gotten myself two new puffer jackets, and as you can see, they’re both purple, though different shades of purple. I just love purple so much that I had to have both.

Let’s stay with tops. I got one T-shirt and a bunch of knitwear and sweatshirts. The T-shirt is this cute light yellow one with a Mickey and friends print.

Sweater wests are a huge trend right now, and I love them. I loved the look of this cropped black one; I love the purple and pink flowers and the subtle kind of argyle pattern.

I’m not much of a cardigan person, but I really liked this Alive in Wonderland inspired one.

And now on to a couple of jumpers. The stripy one is from the H&M x Kangol collection, and I love the colour scheme and the oversized fit. The red jumper with a wintery Mickey on it was a must have for me. I could maybe have featured it in my upcoming Christmas clothing haul, but I don’t think it has to be worn only at Christmas time or in December in general. I’m actually planning on wearing it next week.

Okay, so the next couple of pieces are purple as well. Now you’re warned:) This is a sweatshirt dress, and it’s just so incredibly comfortable.

I got myself three Disney-related sweatshirt (well, actually four, but I’ll get back to that in a moment). I love everything about the Toy Story one. It says “Toy Story” on the front and has Rex pictured on the back. And it’s purple of course. What’s not to like. The lilac Aristocats sweathirt was just too cute to leave behind, and the same goes for the Alice in Wonderland rabbit sweatshirt, which has the cutest little white ruffle collar.

I’ve purchased one more sweatshirt, but it’s a part of this matching set. I’m not the kind of person that wear joggers, not even around the apartment on weekends, but that might have changed. I wore this set all of last weekend, and I loved wearing it. It’s so comfortable, but cute at the same time.

And the last clothing item from this big collective H&M haul is this festive checked midi skirt. It comes with a matching belt which is such a nice detail, and I think it’ll be great to pair with Christmas jumpers.

A little disappointed

Here’s the make-up I wore this outfit. I used the Revolution x Friends Monica shadow palette for the first time, and I was a little disappointed. The shade Twins that I used on the lids is very sheer, but maybe it’s more of a topper shade. I’m still excited to try more shades from the palette though.

(Base: primers – Wet n Wild Photofocus face primer matte + MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Illuminating Base (shade: Radiant Yellow), foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder in Sheer + Jeffree Star Magic Star Setting Powder in Fair. Face make-up: bronzer – Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r – Instant Warmth bronzer (shade: Inda Sun), blusher – MAC Glow Play blush in Grand, highlighter – MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Double Gleam. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Revolution x Friends Monica shadow palette (shades: Bing + Twins) + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascara – L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara, eyeliner – MAC Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Are You Filming?)

MAC Frosted Firework holiday 2020

It’s that time of the year again. Time to purchase this year’s MAC holiday collection. It’s been out for a little while now, but I still think you can get a lot of the items. It’s called the Frosted Firework collection, and the packaging is shiny, pale pink with silver and glitter details; very pretty. I purchased two lipsticks, an eyeliner, an highligter, and a highlight palette from the collection.

The lipsticks I bought are in the shades Once Bitten, Ice Shy (love that name) and Out With A Bang. Once Bitten, Ice Shy is described as a sheer white w. pearl and it has a lustre finish, and Out With a Bang is described as a deep rich burgundy and it has an amplified creme finish.

I don’t usually go for eyeliners when it comes to these limited edition collections, but I was intrigued by this Dual Powerprint eye pencil. It’s in the shade Short Fuse/Be Cool Bb and the shades are described as a purple with multicoloured pearl and a bright white with pearl.

And now on to highlighters. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish formula is one of my favourite highlight formulas, so I had to have this frosty white beauty called Let It Glow.

My favourite products to buy from MAC holiday collections besides lipsticks are the face compacts. They usually have the Extra Dimension formula, and this year MAC gave us the Flashing Ice Extra Dimension Skinfinish trio. I picked up the light version, and it contains the following shades (from left to right): Glitzed Out, There She Glows, and Out on the Tinseltown. I love the names, and the shades are so pretty!
