Here’s what I wore Thursday April 22. I don’t think I’ve worn turquoise, indigo and lilac together before, but I love this colour combo.

Revolution x Friends pt. 3
It’s time for my Revolution x Friends part 3 haul.
I had to get all three of the boys’ eyeshadow palettes to complete my collection (I also have all three of the girls’ eyeshadow palettes).
The Ross palette is an all neutral palette, and the most boring in my opinion. However, I have created a pretty look with it.
The Joey palette is my favourite! This palette has the best quality and the most fun colour scheme, and I’ve used this one a lot more than I’ve used the other 9 pan palettes including the girls’ palettes.
The Chandler palette is my second favourite. This one has a beautiful colour scheme as well, and the shimmers are pretty.
I also picked up all three mini fixing sprays. The Rachel one is an energising fixing spray that smells of strawberry (it’s the only one I’ve used so far). The Monica one is a calming fixing spray that smells of pineapple. And the Phoebe one is a brightening fixing spray that smells of citrus.
I only picked up the Monica lip kit. These shades of lipglosses and lip liner where the ones that spoke to me the most. I haven’t worn the dark lipgloss yet, but the lighter one is very nice.
Last, but not least, I picked up the blending sponges and the Joey lipstick. I love that they did the lipstick for men, which is actually a lip balm. The lip balm feels very nice on the lips, but keep in mind that it does have a blue tint to it.
My little copper
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Essence My Little Copper eyeshadow palette, and it’s one of the best Essence eyeshadow formulas I’ve tried. Just look how pretty and pigmented those shadows are!

Prints and textures
Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 21. It’s an all neutral look so of course I added some prints and put together different textures/types of fabric.

Subtle and sheer
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Huda Beauty Pastel Obsessions palette in Rose for the first time, and as you can see the shades are very subtle and sheer. The shimmers are not opaque, but more like topper shades. They are pretty nonetheless, but I had hoped for a little more opacity and pigment in the shadows.

Pastel loungewear
Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 20. One of the few positive things about working from home was that loungewear wasn’t inappropriate work wear. I would never wear joggers when going physically to work, but when teaching online no one would ever see my legs.

MAC 25% off spring sale haul
MAC had a 25% off spring sale, so I decided to order a handful of products. I also got a free gift with purchase that I thought I would include in this haul.
I love the Glow Play blushes, so I picked up another shade. This is a peachy pink shade called Cheer Up. I also picked up a couple of products from limited edition collections. I got the Harris Reed eye kohl in Powersurge, which is a bronze shade, and I also got the Prep + Prime Lip from the Black Cherry collection as a back-up. I also got a back-up of the Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly.
From the 2020 holiday collection I got the Flash Drops Trio, which I’d actually tried to purchase before, but it was sold out at that point, but then it came back, so I purchased it again. They are shimmery liquid highlighters, and the shades are very pretty.
The free gift I received contains a Powder Kiss lipstick in Teddy 2.0 (full size), an eye pencil in Coffee (full size), a Powder Kiss liquid lipstick sample, a Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Illuminating Base in Radiance Pink sample, a Fix + deluxe sample, a Cleanse Off Oil sample, and a mini make-up bag. I’m the most excited by the two full size products to be honest, but all in all it was a very nice free gift.

Big hat and wide legs
Here’s what I wore Monday April 19. I’d had this outfit in mind for a long time, and I’m so glad that I finally decided to wear it. I just love the big hat with the boxy jacket and the wide leg trousers.
