Collective haul – clothes, shoes, accessories (June 2024)

Posted on by

My collective haul for June is quite large, so I decided to divide it into two parts. This first part includes clothes, shoes, and accessories.

I wore this colourful matching set in my last outfit post, and I think it’s so fun. The pieces are from a brand called Nümph, and I got them on sale.

The next five pieces are from Monki, and they were all on sale. I love a fitted roll neck top, and I think the lilac, red, and black is a cool colour combo.

As you might have noticed, pink and red is one of my favourite colour combos, and this stripy shirt is so cute.

I have this style of oversized blazer in so many colours and prints, and now I also have it in orange.

I also have this style of trouser in so many different colours and prints, and now I also have a pair in pink.

I wasn’t sure about these long, wide leg shorts when I ordered them, but I loved them, when I tried them on.

In my last Zalando haul, I featured the Jeffrey Campbell Akita lace up boots in black, but when Zalando had the white version on sale as well, I had to pick them up.

And speaking of Jeffrey Campbell, I also got these fun western style boots.

I featured this pair of Nike Cortez sneakers in my 5 September favourites post, and I’m still in love with them. It’s one of my favourite colourways that I own.

I love Maanesten jewellery, and this Lulu ring, which I got on sale, is so pretty.

I got three straw hats to show you. Maybe a bit excessive, I know, but I love a straw hat in the summer. The first one is from Topshop, and the other two are from a Danish brand/website called Black Colour. The rest of the items in this haul are also from Black Colour.

These are the hair accessories I got from the Black Colour website. I just love hair accessories.

These are the reason behind my Black Colour order. I’ve been wanting to add big flower brooches/pins to my wardrobe for so long, and I was so excited when I found these. The red and pink ones have been my favourites, but I like the champagne one with the pearls as well.

Collective haul (May 2024)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, accessories, one piece of clothing, and one pair of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty stuff.

I’m a huge Kayali fan, so I’m always excited when they launch a new scent. This is the Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar I 42 Eau de Parfum, and I always get the 10 ml bottle, because I wear my perfumes lightly. I love the Vanilla I 28 scent from Kayali, so I was excited about this one, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed, when I smelled it. It smells more floral than I thought and less sweet and candy like.

I featured the Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist in my July favourites post, and it’s a lovely, fruity scent.

And speaking of Sol de Janeiro, I really wanted the Cheriosa ’62 Eau de Parfum (50 ml), because I love the 62 perfume mist/body spray, and I got it in a set with the Brazilian Bum Bum cream (25 ml) for a really good prize. At the same website I also picked up the Buxom Serial Kisser plumping lip stain in Beso, which is a red shade.

Moving on to some more make-up. I featured the L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer in 901 Fair Glow in my June favourites post, and I still love this product.

I love a glowy blush and the Maybelline Sunkisser blushes are really nice, so I picked up some more shades: 02 Uptown Glow, 08 Shades On, and 12 Summer In The City.

Another Maybelline product I really enjoy are the Superstay Vinyl Ink liquid lipsticks, and just look at these beautiful shades; 150 Striking, 155 Upbeat, and 170 Unafraid.

The Dior Forever Glow Maximizers are so beautiful, so I got another shade called 014 Rosy, which is a stunning blush on my skin tone.

I remember the Collection brand from when I briefly lived in England 10 years ago, and the Danish drugstore now carries the line, so I decided to try out the brand again.

This is the Collection cream bronzer in Shade 1 Bronze (the only shade). It’s a bit orangy.

This is the Collection Diamond Shine highlighter in Shine Bright 1, which looks like a dupe for the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All Over Diamond Veil, but this one is dryer.

Some more products inspired by Fenty Beauty; it’s the Collection Gorgeous Glow sticks in Blush 1 and Highlight 2.

Collection is also inspired by Charlotte Tilbury. This is the Collection Filter Finish liquid blush light wand in 2 Peach Pleasure, and it’s actually quite pretty.

The Collection mini eyeshadow palette in Explorer Solar Voyage 3 and the Collection hydrating lipstick in Sweet Rose 28 are nothing special.

And now jewellery. This is a pair of beautiful earrings from Maanesten. They’re called Notus, and I’ve worn them quite a bit.

Here’s a bunch of cute jewellery pieces I got 15% off from H&M.

Did I buy another bow hair clip? Yes I did.

Is this my first straw hat? No, it’s not, but I didn’t have one with a tie. It’s also from H&M.

I already have this style of dress from H&M in blue, but it’s just such a good dress for hot summer days, so I got one in pink as well.

And lastly, a pair of Nike Cortex sneakers with my name written all over them. How could I not buy a pair of pink and red Nike Cortez!

Another Asos sale haul (late April 2024)

I know I recently posted a two part Asos sale haul, but I actually have another such haul today though not as big.

There’s only one piece of clothing in this haul and it’s this pair of denim shorts from Asos Design. I’ve really enjoyed styling and wearing these this summer.

The majority of this haul consists of accessories. These are the jewellery I picked up. The rhine stone necklace, the strawberry earrings, and the mixed metal bracelet are from Asos Design, and the golden bracelet is from Topshop.

You have probably noticed my love for hair accessories, and I’ve been loving a bow hair clip. This cute, denim one is from the brand Sister Jane.

I have these big hair clips in a lot of different colours, and I’m happy to have added this clear one from DesignB London to my collection, because it goes with everything.

Lastly, I bought some beauty products. The e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! face cream in the fragrance free version is a repurchase. So is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer, which is one of my favourite primers. I also got another shade of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blushes; it’s in the shade Dusty Rose. And then I picked up the Made By Mitchell Blursh Glaze liquid highlighter in Biscuit Bish. The liquid highlighters are probably my favourite Made By Mitchell products.

Asos sale haul – accessories and shoes (April 2024)

This is the second part of my huge Asos haul from April. This part includes accessories and shoes (plus a few make-up bits that weren’t on sale). Let’s begin with the accessories.

I purchased two bags. This first one is from the brand House of Holland, which is a brand that I’ve been interested in buying from before, so when I saw this pastel rainbow bag at a very good price, it was a sign.

I really like a beaded bag, and I loved the colours on this one from Asos Design.

I also love a bucket hat, and I thought this colourful one from the brand Baggu that you can tie under your chin was fun and practical.

This western style belt is from My Accessories, and I liked the suede look and the yellowy brown colour.

I’m in need of a new pair of knitted gloves for next winter, and I loved the colours of this pair from Daisy Street.

I don’t buy a lot of new sunglasses these days, because I actually don’t wear sunglasses that often, but I really liked this blue and green cat-eye pair from Topshop, and I have worn them several times.

The last accessories in this haul are these two pairs of earrings from Asos Design. I love statement earrings, and I thought these button style ones were fun.

Moving on to shoes (and there’s a lot of them). This pair of shiny red mules is from a brand called Forever New.

How fun are these platform sandals?! There are from a brand called Shelly’s London, and I love the butterfly design and the 70’s disco vibe.

These chunky sandals from Circus NY are perfect for summer.

I already own these “raindrop” ombré platform sandals from Topshop in blue and green, and I just think that they’re such a fun addition to an outfit.

I also purchased this other pair of chunky platform sandals. These are in a stunning blue velvet and they’re from Asos Design.

I attended two weddings this year, and I wore these pink stilettos at the first one I went to in May. They’re from Asos Design, and they matched the dress I wore perfectly.

Moving on to boots. I know that it’s not the season for boots right now, but autumn and winter will roll around again at some point, and I love to wear all kinds of boots in colder weather. This pair is from Monki, and I love the green soles.

I love the mustard colour of these leather boots from Asos Design.

These two pairs of boots from Asos Design are the same style of boots just in two different colours. I love both the style and the colours of these pairs of boots, and I think they’re be so versatile.

These two pairs of boots from Asos Design are also the same style of boots just in different colours/prints. I love an animal print and I love lilac, and I think the style of boot is very nice.

I’m so excited about these black knee high boots from Jeffrey Campbell. I had a pair of second hand boots similar to these some years ago that I loved, but they were falling apart, so I’m glad to have a new pair of black knee high boots in my collection.

The last pair of shoes in this haul are these white western style mules from Raid. They’re quite unique and fun.

The very last items in this haul are these three e.l.f. Cosmetics Cream Glide lip liners, which weren’t on sale, but I really wanted to try them out. I picked up the shades Baddest Beige, Pinky Swear, and Red Receipt, and they’re very pretty shades.

5 favourites – June

Can you believe that we’re already half way through 2024?! I can’t. Once again, this past month has been a month of ups and downs, but luckily I’ve got all of July off, and I’m definitely in need of a holiday. I’m hoping for nice, sunny weather, but you never know when you live in Denmark. July is not always the best summer month weather wise. Anyways, I actually had a lot of favourites this month, but I did manage to narrow it down to five, so let’s talk about those.

Tank tops: A few years back I wasn’t really into wearing tank tops, but recently my collection of tank tops have grown, and I’ve worn them so often this past month, often underneath another layer, but also on their own when the weather was nice.

Big flower brooches: I’ve been wanting some Carrie Bradshaw like big flower brooches for so long, and I finally came across these two (and a couple more actually). Carrie Bradshaw is one of my biggest style icons, and she’s one of my main outfit inspirations this summer, so these flower brooches are must haves.

L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow): There are a lot of products like this on the market, and I own a couple of different ones, but this one sets itself apart from the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and its dupes in both the packaging and application, but also when it comes to the shade. This L’Oréal one is more of a cool toned pinky shade, whereas the others I’ve tried are more champagne or golden champagne, so I like to have different options, and I do think that the L’Oréal Glotion is stunning.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish pressed powder (shade: Soft Porcelain): I have to admit that I purchased this powder mainly for the beautiful packaging, however, I’ve found out that it’s a beautiful powder. It’s very lightweight and it just makes you skin look good.

Bridgerton – season 1 (TV series): I know, I know. How did it take me so long to watch the first season of Bridgerton. I don’t really know, but I do know that I’m so glad that I finally started watching this series, because I was hooked right away. I’ve already started watching season 2, and I’m excited to continue to follow the Bridgerton family.

5 favourites – May

May has been another month of ups and down, but I’m beginning to experience more good days than bad. They weather has been very nice the past couple of weeks, and that has definitely been a mood booster. I’m hoping for more sunny weather in the months to come. Let’s talk about some favourites from the last month of spring, before we head into June.

Long pearl necklace: I’ve had this long pearl necklace for about 15 years or so. It used to belong to my late grandmother (I got it before she past away though), so it means a lot to me, and I’ve worn it throughout all of those years. However, it’s been one of my stable pieces of jewellery in May, especially in the beginning of the month.

Colourpop BFF crème gel liners: I love these eyeliners from Colourpop. I’ve got so many of them; the ones in the picture are just the ones I’ve worn this past month. They’re really pigmented and they stay for long time in the waterline.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 perfume mist: I only just recently jumped on the Sol de Janeiro perfume mist band wagon, but now that I’m on the wagon I’m not planning on getting off any time soon. I love a lot of the scents, but my favourite this month has to be number 62. I just got a sample size of this one, but I might repurchase a bigger size in the future.

MAC Gentle Off eye and lip makeup remover: I received this makeup remover as a free gift with purchase with a MAC order once, but I just started using it this past month. I really like it, it is gentle as the name suggests, and I’ve almost used it up.

Rosendahl Mother’s Day Heart 2024 ornament: We have never really celebrated Mother’s Day or Father’s Day in my family, but my daughter gave me this Mother’s Day heart ornament this year (she got some help purchasing it from her grandmother), which was very unexpected and therefore even more special.

Collective haul – mainly beauty (January 2024)

I have a collective haul from January to share with you today. Everything is beauty products apart from one pair of earrings.

This is the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork V I Am palette. It’s the first of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork palettes that I’ve purchased, because they’re really expensive, but this one just looks so beautiful, and I got it on sale. I actually haven’t used it yet, but I’m planning on doing so on Saturday, when I’m attending a wedding.

Here’s the rest of the products I purchased at the same time as the Danessa Myricks Beauty palette. I picked up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver lip oil in Rose Envy, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid blush in Comin’ In Hot Pink, and the Nimya by NikkieTutorials Cheeky Flush cream blush in Hey Carl!. Both blushes are super pigmented.

These are the first Buxom products I’ve ever bought. I found them on sale and thought I would give the brand a try.

This is the Xtrovert eye palette. I has a pretty unique colour story, and the quality was actually quite good.

This is the White Russian collection Wanderlust Glow highlighter. I’ve worn it once so far, and to be honest, I don’t remember how I felt about.

And lastly from Buxom, I got two of the Full Force Plumping lipsticks. They’re in the shades Badass and Dreamboat. I haven’t worn these yet, so I don’t know how plumping they are.

I picked up this Clarins Joli Rouge lip lacquer in 761 Spicy Chili at the same time as the Buxom products. The colour looks so pretty, and I like the packaging too.

I usually purchase a lot of the limited edition collections from Essence, but I’m trying to get better at not buying pretty much the whole collection, and instead only picking up the products I’m really interested in. So from the Love, Luck & Dragons collection I got the two lipsticks in 01 Energy Level: Dragon-like and 02 Dragons Dream in Red, and I also got the lip & cheek tint in 01 Wild, But Cute, But Wild. I only bought one product from the Chilly Vanilly collection and it’s the face & body highlighter stick in 01 Glow With The Flow!.

These are the last beauty products in the haul. I bought a back-up of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze and a Burt’s Bees mini Orange Blossom & Pistachio hand cream. I’ve been using the hand cream lately, and it feels nice on the hands, but I think the scent is maybe a little too strong.

I love Maanesten jewellery, and I picked up the Nubia color earrings on sale. They’re just the prettiest little hoops.

Collective clothing + accessories haul (December 2023)

I have a collective clothing and accessories haul to share with you today. I either bought or received these items as presents back in December.

You have already seen me wear this denim maxi dress from Monki. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and when Monki had a sale, I decided to finally get it.

I also got this dress in the Monki sale. I’ll be posting a look with this dress soon-ish.

I’ve already worn this jumper several times, and it’s just so comfy. I’m wearing it here.

I love a fitted roll neck top, and purple and red are two of my favourite colours, so I had to have this top from Monki. I wore it underneath the denim maxi dress.

The last item(s) I bought in the Monki sale was a 5 pack of Christmas socks for next Christmas season.

This denim skirt from H&M has quickly become a favourite. I’m wearing it here and here.

I featured this Stine Goya Lotta bag in my January 5 favourites post, and it’s the perfect everyday bag. It was a Christmas present from my parents.

This lilac Silfen Ulrikke bag was also a Christmas present, and I really like Silfen bags.

Lastly, I got some jewellery for Christmas. The hoops are from Pandora, and I’ve been wearing them with some Disney pendants. The Nightmare Before Christmas Pandora charm was a Christmas present from my boyfriend; we love The Nightmare Before Christmas and watch it every year on Halloween. Then I also got two Trollbeads glass beads and a ring from Maanesten called Brook. I’ve worn the ring every day since I got it.

Collective haul (October 2023)

I have a large collective haul to share with you today. It consists of shoes, clothes, accessories, and make-up.

I featured these Crocs Classic Crush boots in my December favourites post, and I’ve continued to wear them a lot. I bought them on sale on the H&M app.

I love a boot with a chunky heel and a platform, and these pink suede ones from Asos Design are really nice.

This red checkered suit from Asos Design came in very handy during the holiday season. I wore it here and here.

This red bow hair clip from H&M was a stable Christmas accessory for me, and I still love it and will continue to wear it.

This silver ring is called the Drippy V-Ring from Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig. I wear it pretty much every day.

In my last haul, I featured the other shade of the Catrice METAFACE nail lacquers, but I wanted this lighter shade as well called C02 Cyber Beauty.

I was curious to try the new Clarins Joli Rouge lipsticks, so I picked up the satin lipstick in 742 Joli Rouge and the velvet matte lipstick in 754V Deep Red. Both are very pretty red shades, and the packaging is stunning.

I also got some stuff from Fenty Beauty. I purchased another shade of the Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes (shade: Pinky Promise 13), the limited edition Gloss Bomb Crystal Holographic lip luminizer in Holla’Gram, and the Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth skin tint stick in shade 02.

I picked up one more product from Fenty Beauty from another website, and it’s the Fenty Icon Semi Matte refillable lipstick set which was a limited edition holiday release. The lipstick shade is called Sorta Single. I also purchased two products from Rare Beauty; another Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Strong) and another Soft Pinch tinted lip oil (shade: Affection).

From MAC I got one of the new at the time Locked Kiss 24hr lipsticks, and I picked a beautiful warm tomato red called Gutsy. I received the Made To Wow Brow Kit Auburn as a free gift with purchase. The kit includes a Brow Set Clear and a Brows Styler in Penny, which is not my shade.

You know I love Natasha Denona eyeshadows, and I was very excited to see a blue palette from the brand. This is the Mini Triochrome, and I think it’s very pretty. I’m wearing it here.

I’ve got two more palettes to share with you, and I’m really excited about both. First, I had to have the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette, and I have to say that it’s pretty much the perfect pastel palette. I used it to create this eye look.

The other indie palette that I also had to have was the Cosmic Brushes/Beauty Gothic palette. I wore this on New Year’s Eve, and it was beautiful.

The very last thing in this haul is the Sigma Dry’n Shape Tower Face & Eyes, which is described as a stackable brush care station, so a tower to hold your brushes after you’ve cleaned them. I’ve used it once, and it worked pretty well.

5 favourites – February

February was another tough month for me, so once again I won’t write a whole ton in this 5 favourites post. However, as always, I did find 5 favourites this past month that I’ll share with you, so here goes.

NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers: I don’t remember the last time I tried a stick concealer, but I’m very impressed with these ones from NYX. I got two correctors (pink and green) and a concealer shade that matches my skin, and I like all three of them. They’re creamy and easy to blend, and they have nice coverage.

Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer (shade: Ignite): I’m pretty sure, I haven’t featured this particular shade of Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in a 5 favourites post before, so I thought it was about time, since it’s one of my favourite eyeshadow primers.

Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara: It took me a long time to try this mascara, because for some reason I didn’t think I would like it, but it turns out that I do. It gives you lashes a lot of volume, so the name of it makes sense.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air): I don’t think I’ve ever featured two mascaras the same month, but this one is very different from the Essence one. And I have featured this mascara formula in a 5 favourites before, but not this shade. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my top favourite mascaras, and I love that it now comes in more shades, such as this beautiful pink.

Pandora hoop earrings (w. Disney pendants): I love my Pandora x Disney jewellery, and I got these hoop earrings for Christmas to wear with Disney pendants. For now I’ve been wearing them with these Mickey and Minnie pendants, but who knows, I might change it up in the future.
