Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to create another (and very different) eye look with the Bellabeautébar Poison Garden palette, and I love how it turned out. I just think these warm, orange tones are so yummy.

Somewhat warm day

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 13. It was another somewhat warm day, but as you’ll see in my upcoming outfit posts, the weather became a bit cooler again, before the actual hot, summer weather came along.

Lyko haul (February 2025)

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. The majority of the haul are Catrice products, but I also got a couple of NYX blushes.

Let’s begin with this random little selection of Catrice products. I got the Catrice Arctic Illusion highlighter in C01 Crystal Cold, which is very pretty icy highlighter. I also picked up the Under Eye Brightener setting powder in 010 Light Rose and the Catrice Soft Glam Filter Stick in 010 Fair-Light. I’m not super keen on the powder, but the Soft Glam Filter Stick is nice.

Catrice added three more shades to their line of Space Glam chrome eyeshadows, and I purchased all three. They’re called (from left to right) 040 Stardust, 050 Cosmic Coral, and 060 Galactic Glow. These are great affordable multichrome eyeshadows.

These are the Catrice Kiss & Glow peptide lip tint in C01 Kiss Bomb and plumping lip liner in C01 Kiss Bomb. They’re okay, but not my favourites.

I love these two shades of the Catrice Gel Affair nail lacquers. They’re called 031 Electric Turquoise and 033 You’re The Lime To My Tequila, and I’ve been especially loving the lime one.

Lastly, I picked up two more shades of the NYX Buttermelt blushes. They’re called 09 Feeling Butta and 10 Back And Butta, and they’re darker than the other shades I own.

Blue/green and soft pink

Here’s what I wore Monday May 12. Even though you can’t see it in these pictures, it was the first day of the year that I went bare legged. I still had to wear socks and sneakers though.

Here’s what I wore Saturday May 10. It’s not often that my boyfriend and I go out in the evening, but our daughter spent the night at my parents’ house, so we went out for dinner at one of our favourite restaurants, and it was a lovely evening.
