Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing a bunch of products from the Colourpop Beauty and The Beast collection (which I haven’t hauled yet), and I think all the products I tried performed very well.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s one of the most fun make-up looks I’ve created all year. I just love the aqua/turquoise blues with the bright purples!

I’m so lucky that I got to have all of July off to relax and reset before getting back to work again. Especially the last couple of weeks have been some of the best weeks this entire year, which has been a rough year in general. However, I think I might be ready to get back into the swing of things. The weather this past month has been mixed, but we’re had really nice warm and sunny weather lately, and I hope that it’ll continue a little longer. I would say that most of my favourites this month relate to summer and sunny weather in some shape or form, so let’s just get into it.
Crás pastel striped hat: You know I love a hat and especially during summer to protect my scalp (and eyes) from the sun. When I purchased this hat back in March, I had a feeling that it would be my go-to hat this summer and I was right.
Essence Got A Crush On Apricots freckles pen (shade: 01 Après Apricots): I love to add some faux freckles to my face especially during the warmer months, and I’ve been loving this freckles pen from Essence. Sadly, it’s limited edition. Also, it works best together with powder complexion/cheek products.
Glowish Soft Radiance bronzing powder (shade: 01 light): I’ve had this bronzer for a couple of years, and I’ve liked it, but earlier this year I rediscovered it and found out what a beautiful bronzer it is. It’s the only bronzer I brought with my on holiday earlier this month.
Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist: I’m still loving the Sol de Janeiro perfume mists and the Carioca Crush scent is one of this year’s limited edition summer scents. It’s a very light and fruity scent, so indeed perfect for summer.
Bridgerton – season 2 + 3 (TV series): I featured Bridgerton season 1 in my favourites post last month, and when I was ill in the beginning of this month I watched season 2 and 3 within days. I really enjoyed season 2 and 3 as well, and I can’t wait for the next season.
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.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is probably the most soft neutral make-up look I’ve worn in a very long time. When I wear a neutral eye look, I often go for a slightly darker and more smokey look, but I do like this softer version, and it was perfect for the occasion.
(Base: primer – Essence Hello, Good Stuff! glow serum primer, foundation – Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin serum skin tint (shade: 2), concealers – Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium + Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer (shade: 120N), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f.

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: MAC Chicory lip pencil + Colourpop Lux velvet liquid lipstick in Just Imagine)
I have a make-up haul to share with you today. I purchased these items from the Danish “drugstore” Matas, and most of the items were on sale.
These are the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Intense in the shades 01 Intense Nude and 02 Intense Plum. I love the “regular” Clarins Lip Comfort Oils, so I thought it would be fun to try out a more pigmented version.
MAC reformulated there matte lipsticks earlier this year, and I’d been wanting to try one out, so I picked the classic shade Candy Yum Yum, which I never owned before. It’s such a pretty, vibrant pink colour.
I’ve been enjoying the Fenty Beauty We’re Even hydrating longwear concealer. I got the shade 120N. I’d heard good things about the Fenty Skin lip oils, so I picked up the Fruit Quench’rz hydrating + conditioning lip oil duo, which include the Melon Treat and the Cherry Treat lip oils. I’ve been wearing the Cherry Treat one quite a bit lately, and it feels lovely and luxurious on the lips.
I was so excited about this Fenty Beauty launch. It’s the Demi’ Glow light-diffusing highlighter in Pretty Purlz 01, and it’s absolutely stunning.
The last Fenty Beauty product in this haul is the Gloss Bomb universal lip luminizer in Fuchsia Flex 12. I’d seen people on Instagram wear it, and it just looked so pretty.
Let’s move on to this little mix of glowy cheek products. I got the Essence So Mesmerizing blush stick in 01 Let Mermiracles Happen!, the Essence Blush Crush! in 10 Caramel Latte, the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush in French Rosé, the Iconic London Multi-Use Cheek Glow blush in Hot Stuff, and the Dior Forever Glow Maximizer in 011 Pink.
Here’s a closer look at most of the products. All 5 of these products are lovely.
I enjoyed the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra powder blush so much that I had to pick up another shade. I chose the shade Bohemian Girl. I also bought the RMS Beauty ReDimension hydra dew luminizer in Prosecco Fizz, which is also really pretty.
Lastly, I purchased four products from the Essence Got A Crush On Apricots collection. I picked up the swirl lipgloss in 01 Apricotly In Love, the aura blush in 01 Abracadapricots, the baked highlighter in 01 Feel The Apricôt D’Azur Sun, and the jelly lip care in 01 Apricoated With Love.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love a blue eye look, and the Cosmic Brushes Winter Wonderland palette is a blue eyeshadow lover’s dream.
