Collective haul – the rest (August 2025)

Posted on by

This haul consists of the other items I purchased back in August; make-up, clothes, accessories, and shoes. It’s mostly make-up though, so let’s begin there.

I don’t buy products from R.E.M. Beauty that often, but I was intrigued by their Fembot products, so I got the eyeshadow singlet, the Eclipse glow stick, and the On Your Collar plumping gloss. The shade is beautiful, but I’m not in love with any of these products to be honest.

I haven’t purchased a mini palette from Natasha Denona in a while, but I liked the look of the Mini Gloom palette. I wore it here.

These two blush formulas had been on my wishlist for a while, and I’m glad to have added both to my collection, because they’re beautiful blushes. The first one is the Ilia Soft Focus blurring blush in Sensation, and the second one is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch matte bouncy blush in Grateful.

I’ve been wanting to try both of these blush formulas as well, and both are fun and colourful. The NYX Fat Cheeks blush in 8 Blueberry Burst is a purple liquid blush, and the fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot in D-Day is a red mousse cream blush.

The last blush I picked up is the Morphe Cheek Thrills multi-finish face trio in Cabana Club. Another red blush, I know, but red is my favourite blush colour.

I’ve already featured both of these products in 5 favourites posts, so I obviously enjoy them. It’s the Maybelline Fit Me BB Nude cream SPF 50 in 10, and the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring powder in Lavender 01.

I have one piece of clothing, one accessory, and one pair of shoes to share with you. The piece of clothing is this red sweater vest from H&M, which I think will be very versatile.

The accessory or accessories I got is this set of brooches from Marimekko. Aren’t they cute?

And I might have saved the best for last. I’ve been wanting a pair of Caged Crocs ever since I first saw them, so when they came to Zalando in this grapeberry colour, I picked them up immediately, and I love them!

Collective haul – fragrance (August 2025)

Apparently, I picked up a lot of fragrances back in August, and I thought I would put them together in one haul. I’ll be posting my other collective haul from August tomorrow.

I’ve been wanting to try the body mists from PHLUR for so long, so when I found a website where I could get them, I decided to pick up these three scents; Heavy Cream, Mrs. Smith, and Mango Mood. I like them all, but my favourite at the moment is Heavy Cream.

I featured this perfume in my August 5 favourites post. It’s The 7 Virtues Clemetine Dream Eau de Parfum, and it’s such a delicious summery and fruity scent.

You have probably noticed by now that I really like the Sol de Janeiro perfume mists, and this newer one called Sundays in Rio is no exception. It might actually be one of my favourites, though it doesn’t beat Dança Mística, which is my absolute favourite.

I thought it would be fun to try some fragrance mists from some well-known perfume brands such as DKNY. This is the Ice Pop fragrance mist in Berry Bliss.

I also picked up these three fragrance mists form Guess. They’re called (from left to right) Love Nirvana Dream, Love Passion Kiss, and Love Sheer Attraction.

Lastly, I wanted to try some perfumes from H&M. I got the Social Butterfly Eau de Toilette, the Fearless Optimist Eau de Toilette, and the limited edition Mystic Velvet Eau de Parfum. I haven’t formed a proper opinion on the Mystic Velvet yet, but I really like Social Butterfly and Fearless Optimist.

Different shimmer formula?

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Unearthly Cosmetics shimmer formula usually doesn’t crease on my eyelids, but I think the formula has changed in the Shadow Sculpt – Ghoul Garden palette, because you can already see a bit of creasing in these pictures. It’s too bad, because the colour story of this palette is beautiful.

NA-KD sale haul (July 2025)

I have a NA-KD haul to share with you today. I bought these items back in July, so they’re pretty summery. Everything was on sale apart from the last necklace and earrings.

I purchased this matching blazer and shorts. I really like the shape of the blazer, and the shorts are a little short compared to what I usually go for, but I actually wore them under the next skirt for extra coverage, and that worked very well.

This skirt is very unique. It’s actually two separate sheer skirts that layer on top of each other. I wore it here with the shorts and blazer.

I also picked up this maxi skirt, which has a summery print, but the colours work in autumn too. I wore it here.

I sadly didn’t get around to wear these cute denim shorts this past summer, but there’s always next year.

I think this dress is so beautiful, and I felt beautiful in it, when I wore it on my birthday this year.

I purchased so many fun and pretty pieces of jewellery in the sale. As you can see, I got a pair of earrings, three necklaces, and four bracelets.

This last necklace and last pair of earrings weren’t on sale, I’d just been eyeing them for a little while and thought they were such fun pieces. I really wanted the matching bracelet as well, but sadly it was sold out.
