Collective H&M haul (February)
I have a collective H&M haul to share with you today. Most of the items were purchased on sale, and I got a mix of clothes and beauty.
I picked up two shirts, and you’ve already seen me wear both. The purple fleece shirt is boxy and cropped, and the orange shirt is oversized.
I also purchased two pairs of trousers. The striped knitted trousers are super comfortable, and I love me some pastels, so I really like the second pair as well. I also bought a pair of pink tights, but they got holes in them after the first wear, so I had to throw them away.
I think this was the first time I purchased make-up from H&M, but they actually carry quite a few different brands e.g. Morphe. So I picked up the Morphe x Nyane lipstick trio in Beyond Bold and the Morphe x Nyane 6-Piece Color pencil set.
I love how fun and colourful these lipsticks and pencils are, and they’re really pigmented too.
I also picked up the Morphe Continuous setting mist and the Take Home The Bronze bronzer in Oliver from The Balm. I’d heard good things about both of these products.
Lastly, I purchased four nail polishes. They’re in the shades Dewy Rose, New Leaf, Green As Gold, and Forest.
Not impressed
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used another new Essence eyeshadow palette to create this eye look, but I wasn’t very impressed by this one. I was actually a little disappointed.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 17. This is a super casual look, but as always I love the pops of colour.

Green with brown and purple
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think this green eye look turned out really nice; the addition of brown and a pop of purple on the waterline works so well.

I don’t mind
Here’s what I wore Monday May 16. Black is my least favourite ‘colour’ to wear, but I don’t mind a bit of black if it’s paired with other, brighter colours.

MAC 70% off sale haul
I have a MAC haul to share with you today, and I got all of these products 70% off, which is pretty insane if you ask me.
I know that buying five blushes at once might be a bit crazy, but as I mentioned I got them 70% off, and I’ve always been curious to try more MAC Mineralize blushes. I picked up the shades (from top left corner til bottom right corner) Humour Me, Naturally Flawless, Flirting With Danger, Happy-Go-Rosy, and Bubbles, Please. The only shade I haven’t used yet is Flirting With Danger, which seems like more of an autumn/winter shade, but I’ve enjoyed using the other four shades.
I also picked up a lipstick, two Patent Paint lip lacquers, and two pigments.
The lipstick is in the shade Spanish Fly, and it’s a blue brown frosty lipstick, which I’ve actually been eyeing for a little while. It’s such a fun shade.
I’d never tried the Patent Paint lip lacquers before, so I thought I would give them a go. The orange shade is called Painted Desert, and the red shade is called Slick Flick. I wore Painted Desert here, and I thought it was really pretty.
The two pigments I purchased are Vanilla and Old Gold. They’re both stunning pigments.
Such pretty colours
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I loved this make-up look just as much as I loved the outfit; the colours are just so pretty.
(Base: primer – Urban Decay All Nighter face primer, foundation – L’Oreal Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealers – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory) + e.l.f.

Cosmetics Putty bronzer in Tan Lines, blusher – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty blush in Bora Bora, highlighter – Wet n Wild MegaGlo highlighting powder in Blossom Glow. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Jeffree Star Cosmetics Pink Religion palette (shades: Saint Star + Sugar Savior + Holy Fire + Frosting Cult + Princess Crown) + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascaras – MAC M·A·CStack mascara, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell.
