Purple, pink, patchy

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this purple and pink eye look, and I really like the colour of the lipstick, however, it’s a little patchy.

Not the case

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s always a bit nerve wracking doing your make-up for a special occasion, because what if it turns out bad. Luckily, that was not the case on the day of my daughter’s christening. I actually love how this make-up look turned out.

Christening

Here’s what I wore Sunday March 26. We were celebrating my daughter’s christening that day, and the day went so well! It was also really nice to wear a dress for once, but it had to be breastfeeding friendly, so I chose one with buttons.

Oden’s Eye Jewel Shine single multichrome eyeshadows

In January, Oden’s Eye released their Jewel Shine single eyeshadows. The collection includes 12 multichromes and 30 shimmers. If you purchase all 12 multichromes, you get a discount plus a free 12 colour storage container, so I did just that.

These multichromes are absolutely stunning, and I love how they all look together in the storage container (empty palette). I also love the pan design. The shades are (from left to right, row by row) M001 Lola, M002 Ingrid, M003 Maja, M004 Angela, M005 Isabella, M006 Judy, M007 Noe, M008 Thor, M009 Eden, M010 Dimitri, M011 Marius, and M012 Leon. I’m wearing some of the shades here and here.

Mega magenta

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t worn this bright of a lip in a while, but it’s so fun, and I think it looked great with the eye look.

Sephora haul (January 2023)

I have a Sephora haul to share with you today. It’s a collective haul including make-up and a few fragrances.

Let’s begin with Natasha Denona. I had to pick up the Mini Pastel palette, because I love ND eyeshadows and I love pastels. This is pretty unique pastel colour story, but all five shades work so well together (see the look I created with the palette here).

I was so excited about the I Need A Rouge lip products from Natasha Denona. The first product I picked up as soon as it came to the Sephora website was the I Need A Rouge lip crayon in Gigi (I’ve since then picked up some more products from the line).

The last Natasha Denona product I picked up was the My Dream lipgloss in the shade Natasha, which was the last product from the My Dream collection I didn’t have. I’d heard so many youtubers talk about how stunning this lipgloss is, and I have to agree. It’s one of the prettiest lipglosses I own. I also purchased one of the Fenty Beauty Poutsicle hydrating lip stains, because I’ve been wanting to try them out for a while. I got the shade Mai Type 01, and I love both the colour and the formula (I’m wearing it here).

Let’s move on to Rare Beauty. I love the Kind Words matte lipsticks and lip liners, so I added another shade to my collection; Gifted. I was also super excited to try the Positive Light Silky Touch highlighter and picked up the shade Enlighten.

Here’s a closer look at the shade Gifted.

Just look at how blinding this highlighter is!

I also purchased a few things from Sephora Collection. I bought the Best Skin Ever foundation in 10 N and the Colourful Luminizer face illuminating powder in 01 Sparkling Honey. I haven’t used the foundation enough to form a proper opinion on it yet, and I haven’t worn the highlighter yet, but it looks pretty.

This highlighter I have worn though, and it’s stunning. It’s the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Skin highlighter in Lunar Nude, and I got it 30% off.

When Sephora had a 20% off deal on Dior, I purchased a back-up of the Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral, which is one of my favourite face powders ever.

Lastly, I bought a couple more Sephora Collection DO NOT DRINK perfumes. I got the Roasted Blend Iris + Mocha in a 30 ml bottle and the Refreshing Blend Mandarin + Matcha in a 10 ml bottle. Both were on sale.

Not the most advanced

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is not the most advanced make-up look, but the red and pink colour scheme makes the look both fun and pretty.

Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Persuade, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Colourpop High School Musical East High shadow palette (shades: Was That A Cellphone? + Something New + Sharpay + Twinkle Town), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara Cosmic Black, eyeliner – Colourpop High School Musical Crème gel liner in Spring Musical. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Colourpop High School Musical Just A Tint lip tint in Pop and Lock)

Red and pink birthday brunch

Here’s what I wore Sunday March 19. I’m really into pinks, reds, and purples at the moment, and I love wearing different combinations of those colours. I wore this red and pink look at my youngest sister’s birthday brunch, and I thought it was the perfect look for the occasion.
