More glossy than matte

New ways
Here’s what I wore Tuesday July 4. Even though it might seem as if you can only style this dress in one way, I keep finding new ways to style it.

Colourpop 30% off sitewide haul + more
Back in March Colourpop had a 30% off sitewide sale, so I obviously had to take advantage of that. I also picked up a handful of other products after the sale, so I decided to put them all into one big haul. Let’s begin with the sale stuff.
I picked up a bunch of palettes. First off, we have the Play It Jewel palette, which is one of the mega palettes. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
The next palette I got is the Fade Into Hue palette. How pretty is this rainbow palette?!
The Not A Box of Chocolates palette is not my typical kind of palette, but I’d heard good things about it and thought I would give it a try.
This is the Sage The Day palette, which has a beautiful green and neutral colour story.
I picked up five of the monochromatic 9-pan palettes; the Lilac You A Lot, the Orchid You Not, the Ooh La La!, the Uh-Huh Honey, and the Just My Luck.
Here are what the palettes look like. My favourite look I’ve done with one of these palettes so far is the look I did with the Just My Luck palette.
Let’s move on to face products for a moment. I decided to try their new at the time single pressed powder face products and created this custom face palette. I got the lightest bronzer in the shade Avila Beach, three blushes in the shades Why Hello, Big Reveal, and Flamingo, and two highlighters in the shades Cold One and Easy Livin’. This is a very nice travel palette.
I also bought two more heart-shaped pressed powder blushes in Kiss ‘N Tell and Text Me.
My favourite Colourpop products are probably the Super Shock cheek products. This time around I picked up five highlighters, two blushes, and a bronzer. The shades are (from top left corner to bottom right corner) Felicity, Spellbound, Candy Floss, Lunch Money, Flexitarian, Between The Sheets, Prenup, and Get Sandy.
I also purchased this Winx Club Trix Glow Lite Stix set, which comes with the three shades Icy, Darcy, and Stormy. These highlighter sticks are really fun and easy to use.
And now some lip products. My favourite lip product from Colourpop is the Glowing Lip, so I purchased the Glow With It Glowing Lip set, which includes 9 beautiful shades.
For the lips I also got the Disney Designer Collection Lux liquid lip in Flynn.
Then I bought two products from the Pretty Fresh line; the Pretty Fresh tinted moisturizer in Fair 4N and the Pretty Fresh hydrating setting mist. The tinted moisturizer is not the right shade for me, so I don’t know if I like the formula or not, but I love the setting mist.
And now the products I purchased a little later, when the sale was over. I really wanted to buy both the Blue Velvet palette and the Panoramic face & eye gloss in the sale, but they were out of stock. I still haven’t tried the face & eye gloss, but I love the Blue Velvet palette. I’m wearing is here.
Lastly, I picked up a bunch of products from the The Legend of Korra collection, and I’m actually in the middle of watching the show for the first time. I got the palette, the Super Shock highligher, and the four chrome liquid shadows, which are named after the four elements.
Here’s a closer look at the palette and the highlighter called Spirit Wilds. The products in this collection are super pretty. I’m wearing many of them here.
Wildflower
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Lethal Cosmetics Wildflower palette on my eyes for the first time, and I love how the eye look turned out. Those purples are just so pretty.

Right up my alley
Here’s what I wore Friday June 30. I haven’t hauled this dress yet, but isn’t it cute? It’s definitely right up my alley both shape wise and colourwise.

How can I not
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m pretty sure that I’ve worn a teal eye look and red lips every time I’ve worn this dress, but how can I not?

Not the most summery
Here’s what I wore Thursday June 29. The colour scheme and print on this dress might not be the most summery, but I like wearing it in the summer anyways.

Asos 20% off haul (March 2023)
I have an Asos sale haul to share with you today. I love that Asos frequently gives you 20% off everything.
I’ve already featured these Crocs Mega Chush sandals in a 5 favourites post, because I’ve worn them a lot this summer. I actually got these 25% off.
I wore these boots from Public Desire with this outfit, and they’re so fun. Maybe I have to put together a Barbie inspired western look.
Elf is one of my favourite Christmas films, so I just had to get this T-shirt from Asos Design Men.
Let’s move on to make-up. First, I got these three Charlotte Tilbury products; the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow bronzer in Fair, the Hollywood Glow Glide Architect highlighter in Moonlit Glow, and the Matte Beauty Blush Wand Pillow Talk in Pink Pop. I love all three products.
From Revolution I picked up the Pro Goddess Glow Cream contour & bronze in Light and the Pout Balms in Bare Shine and Mocha Shine.
And last, but not least, my most used product from this haul so far; the e.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 sunscreen in Sunbeam. This has been one my go-to primers for a few months now. It’s just so nice.
