Asos 25% off haul (late August 2024)

I have an Asos sale haul to share with you today. If I remember correctly, everything was 25% off.

The only piece of clothing in this haul is this pair of tomato print shorts from Pieces. I’ve already got the matching top, so now I have the whole set.

The only piece of jewellery in this haul is this ring from Asos Design. It looks really pretty, but it’s actually quite uncomfortable to wear.

I bought two pairs of black Crocs with big flower Jibbitz. It’s unlike me to buy a lot of black, but I just loved the flower Jibbitz, and I actually think both pairs are really cute.

Lastly, I picked up five beauty products. I got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide, which I love and use a lot. I also picked up two back-ups from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Halo Glow setting powder in Light, which I started using a little while ago after I used up my old one, and the Squeeze Me lip balm in Vanilla Frosting, which is a lovely lip balm. From e.l.f Skin I bought the Holy Hydration! eye cream, which I’m excited to try, and I also purchased another shade of the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filters. It’s in the shade Watermelon Pop, and it’s beautiful.

Small Sephora haul (August 2024)

I have a small Sephora haul to share with you today. It actually contains quite a lot of products though, because I received a very nice gift with my order. Let’s begin with the products I actually bought.

There was a 20% off deal on Sephora Collection so I picked up the Reveal The Real soft radiant skin tint in 100N Fair and the About That Shine sheer shine lipstick in 19 Glazed Confetti.

I love the Haus Labs Color Fuse powder blushes, and the shade Watermelon Bliss is just stunning.

I’d been wanting to try out Glow Recipe, so I bought this set including the Watermelon Glow Pink Juice moisturizer in a mini and a full size of the Strawberry BHA pore-smooth blur drops. I used up the Watermelon Glow Pink Juice moisturizer just a few days ago, and I ended up liking it in the end, even though I thought that I broke me out at one point. The blur drops I keep with my primers.

And I love when Sephora gift you a bunch of minis to try out. With this purchased I got a Huda Beauty liquid matte lipstick in First Class (full size), a Tarte Maracuja Juicy lip plump in Rose Shimmer Glass, a Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb universal lip luminizer in Riri 08, a R.E.M. Beauty Essential Drip lip oil in Pickin Petals, a Milk Makeup matte bronzer in Baked, a NARS Laguna bronzing powder in Laguna 02, a Rare Beauty Soft Pinch dewy liquid blush in Encourage, a Natasha Denona I Need A Warm palette single in Dynamism, a Givenchy L’Interdit mascara in 01 Black, a Grande Cosmetics Grand Lash-MD lash enhancing serum, a Make Up For Ever UV Protector Step1 primer, and a Anastasia Beverly Hills loose setting powder in Translucent.

Monolith haul (August 2024)

I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. This is one of my “smaller” Monolith hauls consisting of six beautiful eyeshadow palettes and one stunning highlighter palette.

The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Flourish and Flutter palettes are oh so pretty. These colour stories are so fun, and the Ensley Reign Cosmetics eyeshadow quality is incredible.

I got three palettes from Simply Posh Cosmetics. I really like the way they organise their palettes with a row of lighter mattes, a row of special shimmers, and a row of deeper mattes. This is the Coastal palette, which is one of their more neutral palettes, but it’s interesting neutrals with some pops of colour.

The Aurora Lights palette was very high on my wishlist for so long, because this colour story has my name written all over it. I think this is my favourite Simply Posh palette I’ve tried so far.

The Citrus Punch palette from Simply Posh Cosmetics is summer in a palette. It’s just so vibrant and fun!

And lastly, I picked up the Bellabeautébar Oracle Chrome highlighter palette, which had also been on my radar for quite a while. If you like intense, colourful, shifty highlighters, this palette is for you.

High temp

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I usually don’t wear warm, fiery make-up looks like this very often, but last summer I was a bit more drawn to these types of warm colours.
