Holographic eyes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s really difficult to capture the amazing holographic eyeshadow I’m wearing in a picture, but hopefully you get an idea of just how stunning it is!

Sort of subtle

Here’s what I wore Wednesday November 22. This look is obviously Christmassy, but still in a sort of subtle way, I think.

MAC Bizarre Blizzard holiday 2023 collection

It’s that time of year again. Time for my MAC holiday haul. This year the collection is called Bizzare Blizzard and has this pretty white and silver frosty packaging. Before we get further into the products, I just wanted to let you know that I still have lots of hauls from the end of summer and autumn, but I decided to push those back for a little while, and post my Christmassy hauls as well as Black Friday/Cyber Monday hauls first. Now, let’s get into the MAC holiday products.

I picked up the Frosted Blur face primer in Cool + Clear, which I’m pretty sure is a new product from MAC. It feels like most other blurring primers, so it feels nice on the skin.

I love how many blue eyeshadow palettes (and cool-toned palettes in general) are launching these days. This is the Snowbody’s Business eye shadow palette x12, and it fits the theme of this year’s holiday collection perfectly.

I collect these face compacts from MAC, so even though I have other highlighters similar to this one, I had to get the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Gleamscape.

This year MAC did not include their classic bullet lipsticks in their holiday collection (at least not as singles). Instead they included three limited edition shades of the Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks, which I also like. I picked up two shades; Merry Cherry (bright red) and Cocoa Kisses (warm brown). Both shades look very pretty and are fitting for the season.

Vibrant all day

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love how this whole make-up look turned out! The blush looked vibrant all day and the lip colour matched it perfectly. The green eye look is super pretty too.

Do I need a nude?

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Natasha Denona I Need A Nude eyeshadow palette (which I haven’t hauled yet) for the first time. I think the eye look turned out pretty, but since I don’t wear neutral eyeshadows that often, it won’t become my favourite Natasha Denona palette.

H&M sale haul (June 2023)

I have a small H&M sale haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in June, so they’re very summery. I guess, I’m a bit behind on hauls.

Let’s begin with a couple of dresses. Both with spaghetti straps and a smock detail. I’ve worn these on very hot days.

I’ve actually worn this striped tank top and these denim shorts together. Here’s the look.

I always wear biker shorts under skirts and dresses in the summer time, so I got these three pairs, which I’ve been wearing a lot.

Lastly, I picked up this pink bikini top, since I needed one that would fit my postpartum body. I didn’t get to wear it this past summer though. Maybe next year.

Dark, dark chocolate brown

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been really into dark lips lately, and this dark, dark chocolate brown is just so yummy.

Wintery blue and brown

Here’s what I wore Thursday November 16. As I wrote in my last outfit post, I’ll be skipping my October and first half of November outfits for now, and instead I’ll be posting my wintery/Christmassy outfits. I really like this blue and brown wintery look.
