Here’s what I wore Wednesday May 1. I love how the mix of stripes, checks, and florals look so great together, because they’re all within the same colour scheme.

Matas haul – mainly sale (April 2024)
I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas, and most of the items were on sale.
These are the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Intense in the shades 01 Intense Nude and 02 Intense Plum. I love the “regular” Clarins Lip Comfort Oils, so I thought it would be fun to try out a more pigmented version.
MAC reformulated there matte lipsticks earlier this year, and I’d been wanting to try one out, so I picked the classic shade Candy Yum Yum, which I never owned before. It’s such a pretty, vibrant pink colour.
I’ve been enjoying the Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer. I got the shade 120N. I’d heard good things about the Fenty Skin lip oils, so I picked up the Fruit Quench’rz hydrating + conditioning lip oil duo, which include the Melon Treat and the Cherry Treat lip oils. I’ve been wearing the Cherry Treat one quite a bit lately, and it feels lovely and luxurious on the lips.
I was so excited about this Fenty Beauty launch. It’s the Demi’ Glow light-diffusing highlighter in Pretty Purlz 01, and it’s absolutely stunning.
The last Fenty Beauty product in this haul is the Gloss Bomb universal lip luminizer in Fuchsia Flex 12. I’d seen people on Instagram wear it, and it just looked so pretty.
Let’s move on to this little mix of glowy cheek products. I got the Essence So Mesmerizing blush stick in 01 Let Mermiracles Happen!, the Essence Blush Crush! in 10 Caramel Latte, the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush in French Rosé, the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow blush in Hot Stuff, and the Dior Forever Glow Maximizer in 011 Pink.
Here’s a closer look at most of the products. All 5 of these products are lovely.
I enjoyed the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush so much that I had to pick up another shade. I chose the shade Bohemian Girl. I also bought the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra dew luminizer in Prosecco Fizz, which is also really pretty.
Lastly, I purchased four products from the Essence Got A Crush On Apricots collection. I picked up the swirl lipgloss in 01 Apricotly In Love, the aura blush in 01 Abracadapricots, the baked highlighter in 01 Feel The Apricôt D’Azur Sun, and the jelly lip care in 01 Apricoated With Love.

Collective haul (April 2024)
I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. It includes a lot of beauty products, ond piece of clothing, and some shoes.
I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners, so I picked up another shade called Chai, which is a beautiful deep brown.
I picked up these four products from Cocopanda, and I got 10% off all four products. I purchased the Milani Cheek Kiss cream bronzer in 110 Hey Honey, the Physicians Formula Bread & Butter bronzer in Toasty, the Physicians Formula Strawberry Jam blush in Strawberry, and the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide lip treatment in Blood Orange Spritz. I haven’t used these products enough to form a proper opinion on them yet, but they sure look cute.
They next products coming up I purchased from Sephora. This is the R.E.M. Beauty Yours Truly makeup set which includes the Midnight Shadows liquid eyeshadow in 1954, the On Your Collar plumping lipgloss in Pink Razor, and the Interstellar highlighter topper in Honeymoon High.
From R.E.M. Beauty I also got the Essential Drip glossy balm in Shirley, and I had to pick up one of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch luminous powder blushes and chose the shade Cheer, which is so pretty.
Here’s another set I purchased from Sephora. It’s the Laneige Berries ‘N Choco Kisses lip duo set, which includes a full size Lip Glowy Balm in Berry and a mini Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate. I haven’t tried these out yet.
The last products I got from Sephora are the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 59 and 71 perfume mists (90 ml). I really enjoy both of these scents, though they’re very different.
These last beauty products I got in a Lyko sale. I bought two of the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes (shades: 5 Blazing Blush and 6 City Sizzle), the Catrice Kohl Kajal Waterproof im 180 Red Coral, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Burgundy Haze, and then I got the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 perfume mist (90 ml) as a point shop gift.
The only piece of clothing in this collective haul is this pair of purple sequin trousers from Crás, which I got on sale. They’re so fun.
And lastly, shoes. I picked up these snake print pumps in an H&M sale. They’re quite classic and I don’t have anything else like these.
You know my favourite style of sneakers are Nike Cortez, and I kind of collect them at this point. This navy blue version is a great and very wearable addition to my growing collection.
The last pair of shoes in this haul is this pair of dark cherry Crocs Stomp winter boots. I’m excited to wear these next winter.
