Here’s what I wore Sunday June 23. I went on a lunch date with my boyfriend to celebrate half a decade together. I loved this outfit, and I actually got a lot of compliments on this two piece set (which looks a bit like a dress).
Here’s what I wore Friday June 21. I think I look like someone who’s having a great time on a summer holiday, but in reality I just spend the day at home.
I was so excited about the Lethal Cosmetics x Avatar: The Last Airbender collection, when it launched back in the end of May, and it did not disappoint. It bought the entire collection and everything is so well done.
The collection included four 9-pan eyeshadow palettes; one for each of the four elements. I think all four colour stories are beautiful, however my two favourites have to be the Water and the Earth palettes. The quality is great on all four palettes though.
The collection also indluded four liquid liner sets; one for each of the main benders in the show (Aang, Katara, Toph, and Zuko). Each set comes with a matte liner and a multichrome liner, and even though I’m not big on liquid liners, I really like these.
Sokka, who’s also an important member of Team Avatar, and uncle Iroh are two of my favourite characters, so I was happy to see that they also got a product in the collection. Sokka got a beautiful glitter gel, and Iroh got the White Lotus highlighter. My White Lotus highlighter sadly arrived broken, so I tried to repress it. The collection also included the My Cabbages! sponge, which is super cute.
I’m also very happy about the fact that Azula, Ty-Lee, and Mai got their own lipsticks. The details on these lipsticks are stunning!
Lastly, the cutest item in this collection is without a doubt the Appa make-up bag. Appa is another one of my favourites, and this bag is so detailed. It has a little Momo on the zipper, and the lining has an Appa and Momo print on it. So adorable!
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. My outfit might have been a mix of warm and cool tones, but my make-up look is primarily warm tones (with a cool toned lower lash line).

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The eyeshadow looks quite pretty in these pictures, but I recall that they didn’t last very long on my eyelids, which was a shame.

The first month of autumn has gone by in flash. The weather was warm and summery until the middle-ish of the month, which was nice, but I’m so ready for more autumnal weather. Autumn is probably my favourite season when it comes to styling and putting together outfits, because when it’s colder you can layer, and layering usually makes an outfit more interesting. I’m also really excited about October. I was never really into Halloween, but this year I find myself really excited about Halloween decorations and anything pumpkin and pumpkin inspired. But before we head into Spooktober, let’s talk about my 5 favourites from September.
Green and pink Nike Cortez sneakers: I haven’t hauled this particular pair of Nike Cortez sneakers yet, but I’ve worn them a lot, since I bought them back in June. I just love this colour combo, and they’re more versatile than you might think.
RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra bronzer (shade: Beachwalk Betty): I haven’t hauled this bronzer either, but it’s one of those products that was on my wishlist ever since I first saw it, and it did not disappoint. I generally love the RMS Beauty ReDimensionline, and this glowy bronzer is simply stunning.
L.A. Girl Perfect Precision lip liner in Pinky: I’ve had and loved this lip liner for years, and I continually reach for it. It’s the perfect cool toned pink lip liner, and I’ve been wearing a cool toned pink lip quite frequently lately.
Fenty Beauty Cherry Treat conditioning lip oil: I like to wear a (tinted) lip oil over a lip liner with a make-up look, but this particular lip oil has been my go-to lip product to wear at home on no make-up days. It doesn’t really have any colour, but it feels lovely and moisturising on the lips.
Tuc bisquits/crackers w. sweet chili flavour: It’s been a long time since I last featured a snack in one of these posts, but I thought these bisquits were worth a mention. I like the original salty version, but I have a soft spot for any sweet chili flavoured snack, and these are so good.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I might have worn this make-up look in the beginning of summer, but it would be great for autumn time as well.
