Go-to quick eye look

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. My go-to quick eye look lately has been a matte colour in the crease and on the lower lash line with a similar/matching shimmer shade all over the lid. It’s quick and easy, and it still looks pretty.

Glossy, shimmery, brown

Beauty Bay haul (July 2025)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. I made the order because I wanted the limited edition summer palette from By BEAUTY BAY, and then I also picked up some other bits while I was at it.

This is the By BEAUTY BAY Desert Haze palette. It’s a bronzy, neutral palette with a few pops of colour, and I loved this look I created with it.

I also picked up the By BEAUTY BAY Golden Haze hair & body fragrance mist, which came with the summer collection. I’ve been really into perfume/body mists this year, so I thought I would try this one out. It smells nice, but it’s very subtle.

I bought two highlighters. I got the By BEAUTY BAY liquid cream highlighter in Disco on sale. It’s a pink iridescent shade. And I’d been wanting to add the NYX Buttermelt highlighter in 45 Butta in Black, because it’s so unique and so pretty.

For lips, I got the Unicorn Cosmetics Bear Face lip oil in Sleepy Bear, which was on sale, the Nimya Discosphere glitter lip topper in Wanna Be On Taupe?, and Sacheu Beauty lip liner STAY-IN in getREDy.

And lastly, I picked up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Natural & Polished kit in Taupe in the sale. The kit includes a Brow Wiz in Taupe, a Brow Definer in Taupe, and a Clear brow gel.

A bit too sheer

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The lipgloss is a bit too sheer to work on it’s own with just lip liner in my opinion, but I really like the eye look and the blush and highlighter combo.
