H&M summer sale haul + jeans

I have another summer haul to share with you today, and there’ll be more to come. This is an H&M sale haul, but I’m also including a pair of jeans which wasn’t on sale.

Let’s just start with the jeans. I love wide leg jeans, and I love red, so I thought a pair of red wide leg jeans would fit very well into my warddrobe. I’ve aldready posted a look with these.

And now on to the summery pieces. I have three dresses to share with you. First off, I purchased this cream coloured floral maxi dress. It’s so flowy and comfortable.

I don’t own a lot of mini dresses, but this cerise/hot pink one was just so cute and great for hot summer days. I didn’t get around to wear it this past summer, but hopefully I will next summer.

This simple navy and white striped midi dress is so me. I love a dress that singes in the waist, and this dress is just so comfortable and easy to wear.

This pieces is not very summery, but I still got it on sale. You might have noticed my love for these fitted roll neck tops. I have them in so many different colours and patterns, and I didn’t have this black, blue, yellow, and white abstract patterned version, so I had to add that to the collection.

I don’t buy a lot of swimwear, because I don’t use it often. However, this blue and white gingham bathing suit was just too cute to pass on. I love that it’s a bit retro looking with the print, the shape, and the belt.

Last but not least, I purchased these beautiful asymmetrical earrings from the Brock Collection in collaboration with H&M. I love statement earrings, and I think these are so pretty.

Quite patchy

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was a bit disappointed in the I Heart Revolution x Elf Eye Glisten eyeshadow in New York. I wore both shades, but I found out that they do not layer well, so it looks quite patchy close up. However, from a distance and when my eyes were open it looked nice.

Ocean blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A blue eye look and a bright red lip was an obvious choice of make-up look for the outfit, and I think the look turned out so pretty.

Coca-Cola truck

Here’s what I wore Monday December 13. The Coca-Cola truck is a part of Christmas too, so I had to put together an outfit centered around my Coca-Cola truck Christmas jumper.

Collective Christmas/December haul

Throughtout these first couple of weeks in December I’ve collected some beauty products and a jumper that I thought I would put together in one Christmas/December haul.

Everything in this haul is beauty related apart from this Christmas jumper. I actually think I purchased this on Black Friday, so not exactly in December, but I wanted to include it in this haul. It’s from H&M and it’s a men’s jumper, but I just thought it was so fun and nothing like any other Christmas jumper I own. I’m actually planning on wearing it tomorrow.

From Essence I purchased these Christmas nail stickers, and I’m wearing a couple of them on my nails right now. I love making my nails extra festive in December.

I’m pretty sure I purchased this MAC Trick Of The Light Extra Dimension Skinfinish Kit on Black Friday as well. The MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinishes are some of my favourite highlighters, and the one that came with this set is called Magnetic Attraction, and it’s a very pretty champagne shade. The set also came with a make-up bag and the 143SES brush.

I recently purchased the three MAC x Keith Haring Viva Glam lipsticks. 100% of the price is donated to the MAC Viva Glam Fund, which donates the money to local organizations supporting women and girls, the LGBTQIA+ community and people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. I love the artwork on these lipsticks and the colours are so fun. The matte red lipstick is called Red Haring, the frosted yellow is called St, Marks Yellow, and the matte blue with has micro pearl is called Canal Blue.

Here’s a couple of products I purchased from Lyko. I had to get the Clinique Powder Pop Flower highlighter in Lunar Pop, and then I also picked up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch concealer in shade 3. I already have this concealer in two other shades, which I haven’t hauled yet, but just so you know, I really like this concealer.

Here’s a closer look at the Clinique highlighter. Isn’t it just stunning!

The last products are from Sephora. I purchased these products last week, when all make-up was 20% off at Sephoras website.

I picked up the Hourglass Ambient Mini Lighting powder in Dim Light. I’ve been wanting to try this shade of Ambient Lighting powder, and I thought the mini would be so handy.

I also picked up two Natasha Denona products that I’d had on my list of saved products for a while. This is the Natasha Denona Bloom highlighting blush. I wore it two days ago, and it was stunning. It’s a mini as well, and it’s so cute.

I wasn’t sure if I really needed the Natasha Denona Mini Xenon palette in my collection, but after doing a couple of black and white eye looks lately (one of them including silver as well), I suddenly really wanted it.

Lastly, I got two gifts with purchase. I got the Sunday Riley Glycolic Acid Serum Treatment as a member gift and the Ren Ready Steady Glow Daily Aha Tonic was a gift that came with every purchase, I guess. I’m getting more and more into skincare, so it’ll be fun to try these at some point.

December green

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t worn a green lip in so long, but this outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. I also thought it would be fun to wear something other than a red lip in December.

(Base: primer – Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter (shade: 1 Fair), foundation – Catrice True Skin Hydrating foundation (shade: 004 Neutral Porcelain), concealer – Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch concealer (shades: 1 + 4), powders – Essence Brighten Up! Banana powder in 10 Bababanana + Catrice All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Neutral Fresh Beige. Face make-up: bronzer – Revlon SkinLights Prismatic bronzer in 110 Sunlit Glow, blusher – MAC Glow Play blush in So Natural, highlighter – MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Magnetic Attraction. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Natasha Denona Gold palette (shades: Teak + Python + Aurora + Cava + Sparks), mascara – MAC Magic Extension mascara, eyeliner – Essence Wood You Love Me?

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Essence Invisible Kiss transparent lipliner in 01 Multitalent Wonder + Jeffree Star Velvet Trap lipstick in So Jaded)

Gingerbread house

Here’s what I wore Thursday December 9. It was the first time I wore this gingerbread house jumper, which I purchased on sale earlier on this year. It paired perfectly with my green corduroy trousers and red boots.
