Great snake combo

Here’s what I wore Tuesday October 8. Why have I never thought of wearing my snake print roll neck top with my green H&M x Richard Allen skirt before? I think they look great together.

(Top + skirt – H&M, tights – Calzedonia, belt + heels – Asos Design)

A little too subtle

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t love this eye look; it’s a little too subtle for my liking. I think the lips and cheeks look nice though.

Animal print week

Here’s what I wore Monday October 7. Sometimes I like to challenge myself with a styling theme for the week, and this week in October my styling theme was animal print. I started off the week with this neutral look including several different animal prints.

Good lip combo

Ketchup and mustard

Here’s what I wore Thursday October 3. Red and mustard is not a colour combo I’ve played around with much if at all, but maybe there’s something to this ketchup and mustard combo:)

Oden’s Eye Luminous & Shadow collection

The Oden’s Eye Luminous & Shadow collection launched last autumn, and the collection included an eyeshadow palette, three blushes, and three highlighters. I love Oden’s Eye, so I got them all.

This is the Eternal Twilight palette, which is the biggest palette Oden’s Eye has launched so far. It’s not my favourite colour story the brand has ever done, but I did like the look I created with it.

The Shadows blushers and the Luminous highlighters came in similar packaging to the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and their Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters, but in new colours and with new images.

The Shadows blushers are in the shades (from left to right) D101 Glow Powder, S101 Radiant Flame, and S102 Luminous Heat. They’re all very fun and bright.

The Luminous highlighters are in the shades (from left to right) L101 Dim Glow, L102 Subtle Radiance, and L103 Gentle Firefly. It’s really hard to capture the shifts in a picture, but they’re super sparkly and pretty.

Flattering blue and red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love a “blue eyes and red lips” make-up look, and I find this particular version quite flattering.

Everyday tulle

Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 2. I really wanted to style up my polka dot tulle skirt for work, and I think this outfit is so cute. I remember feeling really good in this look.
