Blue denim jeans

Here’s what I wore Wednesday September 24. I don’t wear blue denim jeans that often, but I’ve worn these straight leg ones so many times lately.

Collective haul – beauty (June/July 2025)

This is the last part of my collective haul from June and July 2025. It consists of all the beauty bits I picked up during those months that aren’t included in other beauty hauls.

I’d heard good things about the Morphe Wakeup Artist under eye correcting concealer. I picked it up in the shade Ivory 3N, and I do like it, however, it hasn’t become one of my absolute go-tos. Maybe because the shade is a tad light.

These are two products I really wanted to try. The Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick in 015 Cherry is a very pretty stick blush. I love the colour. And I already have a couple of shades of the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix shimmers, but I really wanted the shade Icy Amethy$t 04, and it’s beautiful.

Fenty Beauty often makes fun limited edition collections, and how cute are these Smurf products? I picked up the Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon Velvet liquid lipstick in Smurf’Melon, which is a formula I’ve never tried, but I’ve always wanted to, and I also got the Fenty Beauty Smurfette Smooches lip essentials duo & keychain, which came with a Fenty Treatz lip oil in Smurfberry and Gloss Bomb Universal lip luminizer in Smurfette Effect.

I’d been missing a true lime green eyeliner in my collection, so I bought the e.l.f. Cosmetics Smoky Eye-Con kohl eyeliner in Limelight. I also got the NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow tint pen in Ash Brown, which has been my go-to eye pen lately.

I almost never buy anything from NARS, but I’d been intrigued by these limited edition face palettes before, so this summer I decided to finally get one. This is the NARS Hot Escape cheek palette I, which includes two blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer. I’ve used it a couple of times, and I do like it.

Another little face palette that I picked up is the Makeup Revolution Blush Icon palette in My Cherry Truth. These are very pigmented, so keep that in mind.

Let’s move on to some products from NABLA, which have been on my wishlist for so long. First up, we got the NABLA Close-Up blurring powder blush in Endorphin. Red is my favourite blush colour, so I had to get this shade, and it’s really pretty on the cheeks.

I also got two of the NABLA Beyond Jelly lipsticks (shades: Red Sapphire and Nocturna) and a NABLA Lip Candy Oil in Honey.

I have a few more lip products left. These are the 3ina The Color Lip Oil in 137 Yellow and 244 Red. I really enjoy 3ina lip products.

And lastly, I picked up this Burt’s Bees Bee Mine lip balm set, because you can never have too many lip balms.

Drunk’n diamonds

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing a couple of the new Catrice Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow sticks on my eyes, and they’re some of the best eyeshadow sticks I’ve ever tried! They dry down and don’t move. I’m impressed.

Collective haul – clothes (June/July 2025)

This is part two of my collective haul from June/July – the clothes. Let’s begin with tops.

I picked up these two pieces from the brand Crás, which is one of my favourite brands. I already own the blazer in four other colours, but I love the style, so I added an orange one to my collection as well. And I’ve been eyeing the Rugby style shirt for a while, so when I found it on sale, I finally picked it up.

As I mentioned in part one of my collective June/July haul, I made a Zara order. I got these three tops; a cardigan and two shirts. Everything in this haul was on sale btw.

A Danish designer brand that I’m pretty fond of, but which is a little expensive, is Stine Goya. I have a dress and a bag from the brand, and now also this fun T-shirt, which I actually wore earlier this week.

I’ve loved this T-shirt these past couple of months. It’s from Asos Design, and it’s just so fun and colourful.

These last two tops are both from H&M.

I have one pair of trousers. These are a pair of navy culottes from H&M. I haven’t owned a pair of culottes in years, but I used to love them.

I also got one skirt, this pretty floral one from H&M.

Last up – dresses. I got these two summer dresses in the H&M sale.

And lastly, I got these three pretty dresses in the Zara sale. I love that the first two come with belts.

Summery basic witch

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’d been wanting to create another look with the Bellabeautébar Basic Witch palette for so long, and even though it’s a Halloween-themed palette, you can still create a fun and more summery look with it.
