Here’s what I wore Saturday October 2. I went to my sister’s birthday party, and for once I wore an outfit with a neutral colour scheme. I just really wanted to wear this dress which was new at the time (and which I haven’t hauled yet).

Here’s what I wore Wednesday September 29. I love the colour blocking of this look; I think the orange, blue and lime green colours look so good together.

The 2021 autumn collection from MAC was the stunning Tempting Fate collection. The packaging of every single product in this collection is gorgeous, and the shades of the products are beautiful as well. Let’s take a closer look at the individual products.
The palette in this collection is called Eyeshadow x8: Feast Your Eyes. The shades are beautiful, and they come in three new (I think) finishes; Sparkler, Leather Lustre, and Prismetallic. However, the shades are printed in an incorrect order on the back of the palette, which is quite annoying. The right order was on the website back when the collection launched, but it was all a bit confusing.
I decided to pick up one of the eye kohls. This one is in the shade Cobalt Kohl, which is a pretty good description of the colour, I must say:) I wish that bottom of the pencil was the same colour as the actual pencil instead of being lilac. It’s just a lot easier to see what the colour is that way.
The Strobe Face Glaze was a part of the MAC summer 2020 collection, and I thought it was a beautiful product, so I had to pick up one of the Strobe Face Glazes from this collection as well. I chose the shade Punk In Spice, which might look like a darker orangy shade in the tube, but it’s not that dark at all, when you apply it to the face.
I decided to pick up three of the lipsticks. The shades are Burnished Beige (the warm nude), Tarnished Reputation (the burned terracotta orange), and Dusty Grape (the deep burgundy). Aren’t they just beautiful?
The last product I picked up from this collection was the 224S brush, which is a lovely eye blending brush.
Lastly, as a free gift with my order I got the Extended Play Gigablack mascara, which I’ve been wanting to try for a while. I’ve seen people mainly use it on the lower lashes, because is has such a small, skinny brush, and it does work perfectly for that purpose.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with everything purple and especially purple make-up.
(Base: primer – Essence Prime+ Studio Poreless + Skin Blurring putty primer, foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser concealer (shade: 00 Ivory), powders – Jeffree Star Cosmetics Magic Star setting powder in Lavender + Catrice All Matt Shine Control powder Healthy Look in 100 Neutral Fresh Beige. Face make-up: bronzer – MAC Radiant Matte bronzing powder (shade: Beige-ing Beauty), blusher – MAC Undercover Heroine powder blush, highlighter – Essence Glow Like A Pro loose highlighter (04 Purple Scandal). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina eyeshadow palette (shades: Base + Celestial) + BH Cosmetics Do Not Disturb palette (shades: Peace Out + Off the Grid + Getting Lost), mascara – MAC Magic Extension mascara, eyeliner – LA Girl Pastel Dream auto eyeliner in Lavender. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: NYX Suede Matte lip liner in Run the World + Catrice Full Satin lipstick in 090 Full of Adventure)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was wearing the Fenty Beauty Bomb Posse Mega Mix & Match eyeshadow palette on my eyes, and I was a bit disappointed in the quality and pigmentation. I only used the lighter pinky shades in the palette, and to be honest I haven’t used it since, but at some point I have to give the rest of the shades in the palette a chance.
(Base: primers – NYX The Marshmellow primer + MAC Strobe Cream (shade: Pinklite), foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – Catrice Ultimate Camouflage cream concealer (shade: 10 Ivory) + Nars Radiant Creamy concealer (shade: Vanilla), powder – Huda Beauty Easy Bake powder in Sugar Cookie.

Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Fenty Beauty Bomb Posse Mega Mix & Match eyeshadow palette (shades: Vanilla Cake + Rock & Rose + Fussy + Balla’Rina) + Huda Beauty Glow Obsessions Light highlighter palette (1. shade 1. row on inner corners and browbones), mascara – MAC Magic Extension mascara, eyeliner – Marc Jacobs Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon (shade: (Pink)yswear).

Here’s what I wore Monday September 27. This is one of those easy to throw on dresses that you can just pair with tights and a pair of boots or sneakers, and you’re good to go.
