Unusual air

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to create an eye look with the Lethal Cosmetics Avatar The Last Airbender “Air” palette, which has a pretty unique colour story. Is this my favourite eye look I’ve ever done? No, but I love playing and experimenting with make-up.

Zalando haul – mainly sale (August 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. Most of the items in this haul were on sale.

I picked up two tulle skirts. The pink one is from Vila and the cream one with navy polka dots is from Only. I bought the pink one because it reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw. I haven’t worn it yet though. I have worn the cream one with the polka dots twice, and I love both outfits I created with it.

I purchased three pairs of shoes. This first pair is from Marco Tozzi, and I just love the iridescent rainbow sparkles and the fact that they remind a bit of ballroom dance shoes.

I contemplated buying these ramen heels from Koi Footwear for so long, but I eventually caved and got them. I love ramen, and these shoes are so unique and fun.

I also had these shoes and bag from the ALDO Barbie collaboration in my Zalando wishlist for so long, and I finally bought them, when they went on sale. I can’t wait to style these for summer.

For jewellery I picked up a brooch from Pieces, a ring from ALDO, and the cutest T-Rex earrings from Coach.

Let’s move on to beauty. I really enjoy Real Techniques brushes, so I got this Solar Power brush set on sale.

I got the Revlon Colorstay Suede Ink lipstick in In Charge (009) and the L’Oréal True Match radiant serum concealer in 1N. Sadly, I’ve already decluttered both of these products. The lipstick wasn’t anything special, and the concealer was stinging my undereye area, which obviously wasn’t pleasant.

I really like the NYX Buttermelt blushes, and I think these two shades called 01 My Butta Half and 02 Butta Together were the first to shades I bought, and I really like both shades.

The last four products are also from NYX, and they’re from their 2024 holiday launch. I picked up the NYX Home Alone Ultimate Battle Plan shadow palette, the NYX Buttermelt face palette in 01, and two of the NYX Butter Gloss swirl lip glosses in Peppermint Swirl and Holly Berry Swirl. I’ve enjoyed these products.

Longing

Here’s the make-up I wore with my birthday outfit. I think this whole make-up look turned out super pretty. Now I want to play with the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Longing palette again.

Magasin haul – mainly sale (August 2024)

I have a beauty and accessories haul to share with you today. Everything was on sale apart from the first lip liner and lipstick.

When I saw that Rare Beauty had launched a red shade in the Kind Words matte lip liner and lipstick, I had to pick them up. The shade is called Devoted, and it’s super pretty.

I’d been wanting to try the Sephora Collection About That Shine lacquer shine and sheer shine lipsticks, so I got the lacquer shine lipstick in the shade 09 Volcanic Lava and two of the sheer shine lipsticks in the shades 10 Radiant Flame and 16 Electric Glitter. Both formulas are very lovely.

The last make-up product, which I also really wanted to try, is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Contour Stick in Chocolate Mousse. It’s a very creamy, blendable bronzer that looks beautiful on the skin, and it smells divine, like orange flavoured chocolate.

Let’s move on to the accessories. I got this floral tote bag from Pieces that can hold a lot of stuff.

From Pieces I also got these big, asymmetrical earrings.

And speaking of earrings, I also picked up these three pairs from Mango.

I also got this pearl necklace from Pieces. You know I love me some pearls.

I also love brooches, and I was so excited to find these pretty, beaded butterfly ones from Becksöndergaard. I actually wore the pink one yesterday, and I’m wearing both the blue one and the green one today.

Last up, we have hair accessories. I bought this headband and these two hair clips from Pieces.

I also bought a navy blue flower hair clip, a pink flower hair tie, and a big pink scrunchie from Becksöndergaard. I’ve really enjoyed wearing all of these accessories.
