Overall dark

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I usually wear orange make-up with the orange 70’s dress, but this time around I decided to go for a brown smokey eye and a deep purple lip, and I really like this overall dark look.

Pretty matte

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another all matte eye look. I’ve been posting a handful of all matte (or almost all matte) eye looks lately, haven’t I? Actually, this whole look is pretty matte.

MAC winter sales + Lunar Luck haul

I got a MAC winter sales + Lunar Luck collection haul to share with you today. Let’s begin with the sale items.

I purchased two more of the Aute Couture Starring Rosalia nail laquers, because I really enjoy the first two that I got. These two are in the shades Canela En Rama and Cayena. The bottles are so pretty too.

I also picked up the other shade of the Extra Dimension Skinfinish from the Botanic Panic collection which is called Royal Flush. This is a blush on me though, but it’s super pretty nonetheless. And I don’t think I’d ever heard of the Iridescent powder from MAC, but I picked up the shade Silver Dusk, and I thought I would give it a try.

I got another MAC x L Powder Kiss liquid lipcolour as well. This is in the shade Haute Pants, and it’s a very pretty blue based red. I really like the Powder Kiss formulas.

I loved the Cruella collection, and I thought about getting the 217S blending brush when the collection first launced, but MAC brushes are so expensive, so I’m glad I waited for a sale. And those were the items I purchased in the winter sales.

From the Lunar Luck collection, which was the 2022 Lunar New Year collection from MAC, I picked up the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Lunar Lights, which is a pretty gold, and the Powder Kiss lipstick in If Wishes Were Roses, which is a very nice pink. The packaging is beautiful as well.

Lilac, green, yellow

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to wear both lilac, green, and yellow on my eyes to match the three main colours of my outfit. I added a nude lip to keep the main focus on the eyes, and I really like how the whole look turned out.

Pop of yellow

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 5. I’ve worn purple/lilac and green together many times, but I thought the pop of yellow was a fun addition.

Wasn’t sure

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. When I decided to create this blue and pink eye look, I wasn’t sure that the shades would go together, but I really think they do. And that pink shimmer on my lids is just so pretty.

Red tights

Here’s what I wore Monday April 4. I’ve had this dress for a while, and I’ve worn it many times, but I’d never styled it with red tights, so I thought I would give it a go.

A bit too much

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like this look except for the brows; they’re a bit too much I think.
