Here’s what I wore Wednesday August 6. Why have I never worn my T. rex Adidas T-shirt with these green trousers (at least I don’t think I have)?! They’re a perfect match.

Collective haul – beauty (May 2025)
I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. These are the beauty bits I purchased back in May.
Let’s begin with some MAC lip products. I love the MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balms, and the shades Serve and Oops! had been on my wishlist for a while, so when I found them on sale, I picked them up. I also love the lip pencils from MAC, so I got the shade Talking Points, which is a repurchase, and the shade Root For Me!
I also picked up some new eye products from MAC. I love the Colour Excess gel pencil eye liners, and these new shades Strawberry Milk and Minty Fresh are so pretty. I’m also quite impressed by the newish Dazzleshadow eye shadow sticks. I chose the shades Haku Haze and Gold Stud.
Now let’s move on to a random selection of things. I bought the Beautyblender Blendercleanser Liquid Lavender and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer in the shade 2, which are both products I really enjoy.
I also picked up another shade of the NYX Buttermelt highlighters, because I love this formula. This is in the shade 05 Bright And Butta, which is a pretty champagne shade.
From the Essence So Cherry Happy collection, I purchased the blushlighter in 010 Love You Cherry Much, the peptide lipgloss in 01 Cherry On Top, and the body mist 100 ml.
From Morphe I got the Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil in the shade Dawn, which is very glowy, but pretty finishing powder.
Lastly, I picked up the Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer, which I’ve been using quite a bit.
Neutrals, blue, and rust
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A neutral eye look with a pop of blue works with a rust lip and cheek as well.

Third blue/navy look in a row
Here’s what I wore Tuesday August 5. I guess I was really into wearing blue/navy (paired with rust tones) back in the beginning of August, since this is the third blue/navy outfit I’ve posted in a row.

More rust tones
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I mentioned in my last make-up post, I’d found that blue looks really good paired with rust tones, and I think this make-up look came together very nicely.

Difficult stripes
Here’s what I wore Monday August 4. I never know how to style this striped dress, so I end up not wearing it. Maybe it’s because it’s so simple. However, this time I was determined to wear it, and I really like how the look turned out.

Blue and rust
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve always loved a blue eye look paired with a bright red lip, but I’ve recently found that blue looks really good with rust tones as well.
