Zalando haul (July 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes two pairs of shoes, some accessories, and some make-up bits.

My love for Crocs is ever growing, and I love the Siren style with the chunky heel. The pink version was on my wishlist for so long, and when they came to Zalando I purchased them immediately.

I bought the Mega Crush sandals from Crocs in a nude pink colour last year, and when I saw that these purple ones were on sale, I had to have them.

I also picked up two 5 pcs of Jibbitz on sale; the Keith Haring ones and some Snow White ones.

I’m still on the hunt for all kinds of brooches and these two from Pieces are so pretty.

I also got this red beaded headband from Pieces. You know I like my headbands.

Now, let’s move on to make-up. I love MAC lipsticks, and I never owned the original Snob lipstick, so I decided to get the new MACXIMAL matte lipstick in Lipstick Snob, which is a similar shade. I also picked up the rereleased frost lipstick in Haku, which came out for MAC’s 40th anniversary.

At a later time I also bought these three lipsticks on sale; the Revlon Colorstay Suede Ink lipstick in Lip Boom, the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in 240 Galactic Mauve, and another rereleased frost lipstick from MAC in the shade Chintz.

Lastly, I purchased one of the new shades of the MAC Glow Play blushes. This shade is called Plush Pepper. I also got the Kiko Milano Sculpting Touch creamy stick contour in 200 Hazelnut. Both products were on sale.

Oden’s Eye Solmåne II Moon Wish collection

Oden’s Eye is one of my favourite indie make-up brands, and I love their original Solmåne II collection, so I was very excited about the Solmåne II Moon Wish collection. I purchased the entire collection which included a palette, three of the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and three of the Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters.

The Solmåne II Moon Wish palette has the same kind of packaging and layout as the original Solmåne II palette, but in a different colour scheme of course. I love the colour story of the original palette and I love the colour story of Moon Wish as well. I mean, look at all those stunning purples and blues.

I think the packaging of the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and the Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters is so pretty.

I really enjoy these blush formulas from Oden’s Eye. Some of the shades are matte and some are shimmery. These shades are called (from left to right) B104 Lilac Mist, B105 Pink Bloom, and W104 Solar Eclipse. They’re all beautiful.

The Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters are some of my favourite shimmery, shifty highlighters in my collection, and I love these new shades. They’re called (from left to right) H107 Moon Tears, H108 Star Legend, and H109 Light Glory. This picture doesn’t do them justice.

Darker and more neutral

Here’s what I wore Wednesday July 24. My boyfriend and I took our daughter to the zoo for the first time, and it was a warm, sunny day, so I wore something comfy and colourful. A hat was a must as well.
