Five pastels

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing all five shades from the Natasha Denona Mini Pastel palette (which I haven’t hauled yet), and even though you might not think so at first glance, the shades look great together, but then again Natasha Denona probably wouldn’t have put them in a palette together if they didn’t.

Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter (shade: 1 Fair), foundation – Catrice Nude Drop Tinted Serum foundation (shade: 004N), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral. Face make-up: bronzer – Sigma Beauty Matte Bronzer (shade: Light), blusher – Dior Backstage Rosy Glow blush in 001 Pink, highlighters – Essence Positive Vibes Only baked highlighter in 01 Light Up Your Day! + I Heart Revolution x Elf Christmas Cheer highlighter in Jovie. Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Ignite, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Natasha Denona Mini Pastel palette (shades: Ari + Sea Star + Aurora + Ontario + Twiggy), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara Cosmic Black, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: L.A.

Beauty Bay haul (December 2022)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. It’s a slightly smaller Beauty Bay haul, but I’m really excited about these products.

Firstly, I picked up the Sigma Beauty x Disney Alice in Wonderland eyeshadow palette and cheek duo. I’m becoming quite fond of Sigma Beauty’s products, so I really wanted to try these products from the Alice in Wonderland collection. I wore both products here, and they performed beautifully.

I’ve already featured the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter in a 5 favourites post, and it really is as good as people say. I got mine in the shade 1 Fair.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I also purchased the Jelly Pop Juicy Melon Glow Set which includes the Jelly Pop dew primer and the Jelly Pop glow stick. I like the primer so far, and I’ve only worn the glow stick once, but it was nice as well.

The Made By Mitchell Blursh Press’d blushers have some of the ugliest packaging that I’ve ever seen. They’re so big and bulky too. However, they come in so many pretty and fun shades, so I had to pick up the following three shades; All Riped up (the orange), Sun Trap (the yellow), and For The Lovers (the purple). I haven’t worn the yellow one yet, but I liked the other two and especially the purple one.

Lastly, I bought the Made By Mitchell Blursh Bronzed liquid bronzer in Hollo There and the Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter in Candy Trip. I hadn’t tried his liquid bronzers before, but so far I’m quite impressed by the quality, blendability, and shade. I knew I loved the liquid highlighters, and this pink shade is a nice addition to my collection.

Sparkly and shifty

Zebra print jeans

Here’s what I wore Friday January 20. It’s been a little while since I’ve had a pair of zebra print jeans in my wardrobe, but it’s nice to have a pair again. I’ve always liked zebra print.

Collective haul (December)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. These are all items I purchased in December, so you’ve seen some of them already.

I only have these two (or three) pieces of clothing to show you, and I’ve already worn them. I purchased the red wrap dress to wear on Christmas Eve and I also needed some bigger tights (for my wider mum body). They’re both from Monki, and I’m wearing them here.

I have two pairs of shoes to share with you as well. I’ve recently discovered that I have a thing for pink shoes, but I mean how cute are those pink satin sling backs from Monki?! And if you think you’ve seen the green boots before on my blog, you’re not completely wrong, because I also own them in blue. They’re from Topshop, and I’ve been loving both the blue and the green pair.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I love statement earrings. This fun mismatched pair is from Pieces.

The rest of the items in this haul are make-up products. It’s not the first face palette I’ve ever picked up from Physicians Formula, but the other one I had, I didn’t love, so I’ve decluttered it from my collection. This one is the Butter Dream Team face palette, which comes with two bronzers, two blushers, a highlighter, and a face powder. I’m really excited to try this palette out.

The other product I picked up from Physicians Formula is the Butter Donut bronzer in Sprinkles. The spinkles are an overspray, but I don’t mind that, and so far I actually quite like this bronzer. And it smells like coffee, which I love (btw, I really dislike the tropical scent of the original Butter bronzers).

I usually like Essence highlighters, so I had to pick up this Christmas themed one. It’s the Cookies For Santa baked highlighter in 01 Baked With Love.

I’m not particularly interesting in watching the new Avatar: The Way of Water film, but I thought this collab with NYX looked interesting. I picked up the Luminescent lip gloss in Ilu-Minate, the Biolume stick in Seagrass, and the Pandoran Paradise cheek palette.

Here’s a closer look at the products. I’ve only worn some of the blushes from the Pandoran Paradise cheek palette so far, and I liked them more than I thought I would.

Lastly, I got two lip products from MAC. I purchased another shade of the Powder Kiss liquid lipcolours. This one is limited edition from the 2022 holiday collection, and it’s called Spiked Cocoa. I also bought another shade of the Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks, and it’s in the shade Rose Mary. I’m excited to wear both of these.

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 19. There was an eyeshadow palette that I really wanted to use for my eye look that day, so obviously I just had to put together an outfit to match said eyeshadow palette:)
