Monki and H&M 20% off haul (April 2023)

I have a collective Monki and H&M haul to share with you today. Both brands had a 20% off deal around the same time, so I thought it would be fitting to put all the pieces I picked up into the same haul. Let’s begin with the Monki items.

I love this style of matching suit from Monki. I got several different patterned ones, but this time around a picked up the plain green set, which was on sale and then further 20% off. I wore it last week, and I loved my outfit.

I’ve worn this dress a lot this past summer. I love the style, print, and colours.

Lastly from Monki, I bought these pink, floral platform mules, which are so cute and summery.

Moving on to H&M. I love an oversized T-shirt, especially if it’s in a nice colour with a fun print, and this one ticks all those boxes.

I don’t own a lot of tank tops/vests, but I thought I might get som use out of this pink one, and I have worn it a few times so far.

I picked up three pairs of shoes from H&M, and they’re all very fun. I’ve only worn the beige slingbacks with the butterflies so far, but it’ll be so fun to style the other two pairs as well.

After 7-8 hours

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As you can probably tell, this is not what my make-up looked like right after application. I forgot to take pictures in the morning when my make-up was fresh, so instead I took these pictures after 7-8 hours of wear with no touch ups. The eyeshadow has creased a bit, but I have hooded eyelids, so that’s no surprise, and my lipstick has worn of a little bit, but I really don’t think it’s that bad. My skin was looking shiny, but I wasn’t wearing the most mattifying and long-wearing powder that day, so it was no surprise either. All in all, I think my make-up could have looked worse.

Zalando haul – mainly sale (April/May 2023)

I have a collective Zalando haul to share with you today. Most of the things in this all were on sale. Let’s get started.

First up, dresses. I picked up these two button up dressed from Monki in a sale, and I’ve worn both of them several times already.

I also picked up this skirt from Monki, which has these beautiful bright colours.

The last item I got from Monki is this fun blue oversized T-shirt. I’ve been loving an oversized T-shirt lately, especially paired with flared trousers.

I really like the tights from the brand Calzedonia, and I love that they come in so many different colours. I picked up a new red pair in a bigger size.

The only pair of shoes in this haul are these pink platform boots from Even&Odd. I’m so excited to wear these this autumn and winter.

Lastly, I picked up a handful of make-up products. I’d been wanting to try out the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder for a while, so I picked up the shade Universal in a sale. Then I also got three products from Kiko Milano; the Silky Glow baked bronzer in 01 Warm Sienna, and two of the Green Me eyeliner & khols in 02 Into The Plum and 06 Green Gold.

Here are some closer looks at the first four products.

The very last two products, I purchased, were two lip products from the MAC Pearlescence collection. I got the lipstick in Mauve Over! and the lip pencil in Chicory.

Here’s what I wore on my birthday Tuesday August 8. I didn’t have a big party, but I still wanted to dress up a bit. I turned 30 after all, and I did have my family over for cake and later dinner.

I don’t own a lot of Pat McGrath Labs palettes, but I got a very good deal on the Mothership VI palette, which had been on my wishlist for quite a while, so I had to go for it.

Here’s what I wore Monday August 7. I’d been wanting to wear this beach themed top again and thought I would style it with blue and white to go with the beach theme.
