Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had to get up early that day, so I tried to do a quicker make-up look without foundation (apart from a bit of powder foundation), and I’m happy with how it turned out.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 2. I remember it to be quite cold and rainy that day hence the fussy jumper and the Crocs boots.

Beauty Bay haul (January 2024)

I have a Beauty Bay haul to share with you today. This is probably going to be my last Beauty Bay haul in a really long time. I made two rather large/expensive orders around Black Friday, and I never received my orders. I was in contact with customer service over a two month long period, and I was never provided with a refund for my missing orders. I usually don’t share this kind of information, but I lost quite a lot of money, which is obviously very upsetting. I purchased the products I’m hauling today while my correspondence with customer services was ongoing.

Some of the products I originally purchased back in November was the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Scorpio palette and two of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Shiny Trap lipsticks that launched with the Scorpio collection. I have to admit that I really dislike the outer packaging of this palette, but I think the colour story is really pretty. I did a look with this palette recently, and I really liked how it came out.

These are the Shiny Trap lipsticks in Hot Devotion and Gardening In Mayhem, and they’re really pretty. I’m wearing Hot Devotion here.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I picked up the Camo Hydrating CC Cream in Fair 120N and the Camo liquid blush in Coral Crush. I like both of these products.

I’ve always loved the By BEAUTY BAY eyeshadows and especially the limited edition 20 colour palettes. The Reckless Romance is this year’s Valentine’s Day release from By BEAUTY BAY, and I really like the dark take on a Valentine’s palette. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

Lastly, I got the By BEAUTY BAY sheer tinted lip balm in Strawberry as a free gift with purchase. I like a tinted lip balm, and this one is cute.

The crease liner is back

Beauty Hypernova satin matte blush in Pinking of U, highlighter – Fantasy Cosmetica Celestial Lights highlighter palette (shade: Dark Star). Eye make-up: base – GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease Killer eyeshadow base, eyeshadows – Jolie Beauty Ethereality palette (shades: Moonchild + Toadstool + Storybook + Crystals + Fairy Dust + Fantasy), mascaras – Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara + Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air), eyeliners – Unearthly Cosmetics Immortal liquid eyeliner in Tears + Revolution x Bratz Jade eye pencil. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown.

So neutral

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 20. This is one of the most neutral looks I’ve worn in a long time, and even though I like it, I definitely prefer more colourful looks.

Zalando haul (January 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes two pairs of sneakers and some make-up.

I love that Nike Cortez sneakers are back and in a bunch of different colourways and materials. I purchased another neutral coloured pair, I think the colour is called sesame, and they’re so nice and versatile.

This is my first pair of sneakers from Asics. They’re not sleek like a pair of Nike Cortez, but they’re so comfy, and I like the floral print on the side.

The rest of the haul is make-up. I love the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara in Pink Air, and the NYX Vivid Rich eyeliner in Emerald Empire is also nice. I’m not sure how I feel about the Revolution Beam Bright silk touch highlighter in Diamond Glow yet.

I’ve been using the NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers a lot since I bought them. I got the shades 0.1 Green, 0.2 Pink, and 03 Alabaster.

I’m always intrigued by a lip product of this format. These are the NYX Fat Oil Slick Click shiny lip balms, and I picked up the shades 05 Link In My Bio, 08 #Thriving, 10 Double Tap, and 11 In A Mood. I’ve only worn the pink shade so far, and I remember liking it.
