Lyko sale haul (August 2025)

I have a Lyko sale haul to share with you today. I purchased these products back in August, which is why most of them are a bit summery.

I bought another one of the DKNY Ice Pop fragrance mists. This one is the Citrus Splash one.

Here’s a mix of make-up products that I purchased. I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted skin tint in shade 2, which has been quite disappointing so far. I’m not sure if mine had gone bad even before I got it, because the texture is bumpy and weird. I also got the Essence Juicy Bomb Party Jelly blush in 01 Cassis Crush and the Catrice Midnight Sun Jelly Glow Stick in C01 Bright & Breezy.

I also picked up these three lip products. I got the Catrice Summer Lips lip glazes in C01 Lemon Spritz and C02 Orange Spritz, and the rom&nd Glasting Water Tint in 02 Red Drop.

I love a fun nail colour, and these Rimmel Spotify collection super gel nail polishes are lovely. The shades are called (from left to right) 112 Summer Fizz, 115 Dj Set, and 114 Beatmatching.

Lastly, I purchased this Skin Glow Kit from Smuuti Skin. It includes the Watermelon Dew serum and the Watermelon Jelly cream. I really like both of these products, and the packaging is cute too.

5 favourites – November

Posted on by

November has come to an end, and what a busy month it was. We moved into our new house last weekend, and I always forget how crazy it is to move. We also went to our second trimester scan, and everything was great with baby, so we’re very grateful for that. December has never come around this quickly before, and I don’t feel quite ready for it, which is very unlike me. As you might know, I’m a very Christmassy person. I love the Christmas season, but due to the move, I haven’t been able to fully decorate yet, but I did get to decorate the Christmas tree with my family today, so I’m very excited about that. Anyways, before I dive head first into my favourite month of the year, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of November.

Caged Crocs (colour: Grapeberry): You know I love Crocs of all kinds, and ever since I first saw the Caged version, I knew I had to have a pair. These are probably the chunkiest Crocs I own, but they’re really comfy and really cool, if you ask me.

Essence Soft Touch eyeshadow (shade: 01 The One): I always have a single matte cream coloured eyeshadow in my collection that I use all the time, and Essence makes great cream coloured single eyeshadows.

NABLA Close-Up blurring powder blushes (shades: Endorphin + Lucky Rose): I usually prefer a satin or glowy blush, but this is one of the best matte blush formulas, I’ve tried. The red shade is my favourite, and I’ve already worn it many times (hence the dirty packaging), but the warm pink shade is beautiful too.

PHLUR Heavy Cream body mist: I really enjoy all the body mists I purchased from PHLUR, but my favourite and most used one so far is the Heavy Cream one. It smells like dessert.

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store – Laurie Gilmore (book): I didn’t have much time to read in November due to our move, but I read the second book in the Dream Harbour series, and I enjoyed getting to know more of the characters better.

Asos sale haul (August 2025)

I have a rather large Asos sale haul to share with you today. It includes shoes, a bunch of accessories, and a few make-up bits. Let’s begin with the shoes.

I picked up two pairs of shoes. The purple Ramsey creepers are my first ever pair of Dr. Martens shoes. I’ve had my eye on these ones for quite a while, because I used to love a creeper and purple is my favourite colour. The brown sandals are from a brand called London Rebel.

I got a pair of black houndstooth-patterned tights from Lindex.

I picked up these two belts both from Asos Design. I would like to add belts to my looks more often.

Shoe clips have been a more recent discovery for me, and I like the idea of decorating my shoes. These two pairs are both from Asos Design.

I’m always on the hunt for more golden rings, so I got these three from Asos Design. The first two came in a set.

I love a pair of statement earrings, so I picked up these five pairs. The top three pairs are from Asos Design, and the bottom two pairs are from Reclaimed Vintage and Topshop respectively.

These are the three (or four to be exact) bracelets I bought. The golden bangle is from the brand South Beach. The orange bangle and the two golden bracelets are from Asos Design.

I got one hair accessory, which is this pretty burgundy hair clip from Asos Design. The brooch is also from Asos Design.

As you know, I like brooches, so I also picked up all of these pretty golden ones from Asos Design.

Lastly, I got these three make-up products and a brush. I got the e.l.f Cosmetics Stain & Tint blending brush, the e.l.f Cosmetics Sheer for It Blush Tinit in Left on Red, the e.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow skin tint SPF 50 in 1 Fair Neutral, and a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow).
