Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I liked the idea of this look, but it didn’t wear that well. The satin eyeshadows creased on me quite quickly, and the lip oil went outside my lip line even though I was wearing a lip liner.

Here’s what I wore Friday January 23. I wanted to wear the bordeaux knit dress again, but this time I paired it with furry leopard print boots and fun statement jewellery.
(Dress – Only Maternity, tights – Monki, boots – H&M)
It’s time for the first Black Friday haul from last November. This is a collective indie beauty haul, and it includes orders from Oden’s Eye, GlossGods Cosmetics, Monolith, and Lethal Cosmetics.
The Oden’s Eye Ice Crystal palette wasn’t on sale, but it launched for Black Friday. This big palette format is not my favourite from the brand, but I loved this look that I created with the palette.
The only thing I actually bought in the Oden’s Eye Black Friday sale was this pretty bracelet.
And then I got some free make-up brushes (a blush brush and a detail crease blender brush) and a free tote bag with my order.
I’ve had my eye on the GlossGods Cosmetics Dancing Lights palette ever since it launched (I think it was their 2024 holiday palette), but I didn’t pick it up initially. I was very happy to see it back in stock and on sale for Black Friday, so I picked it up together with the 2025 holiday palette, Starry Skies. I also got another shade of the Jelly Drip Sticks in the shade Catch My Drip.
I’m wearing the Starry Skies palette here, and the Dancing Lights palette here.
There were a lot of things I really wanted in the Monolith Black Friday sale, but sadly something went wrong, when I was trying to pay for my order, and when I finally got it fixed, most of the things I wanted was sold out and the sale was over. However, they put a smaller amount of items up for sale again a few days later, and I managed to get the Simply Posh Cosmetics Black Cherry palette and Down to Earth palette. The Gingerbread Bakery palette wasn’t on sale, but a part of the new launch for Black Friday.
I hadn’t made an order from Lethal Cosmetics in ages, but I was intrigued by their new palette called Serpentine, which launched for Black Friday. I was a bit disappointed in the palette when I first wore it though.
In the actual Black Friday sale on Lethal Cosmetics’ site, I picked up the Magnetics face powder in Floret, which is a shade I’ve had on my wishlist for a very long time, the Pixeled lipgloss in Matrix, and two of the Dexter nail polishes in Modus Operandi and Slice of Life.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to do another eye look with the Nomad Cosmetics Pacific Northwest intense color & chrome palette, because it’s such a pretty palette. I think these tones of green look so pretty with the brown cheek and lip.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I wrote in the outfit post, blue and orange is such a nice colour combo, and it works when it comes to make-up as well.

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. These are the items I purchased back in November that weren’t part of any Black Friday sales. However, quite a few of these items were purchased during Singles’ Day sales. Let’s begin with some indie palettes though.
I hadn’t picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Pacific Northwest intense color & chrome palette at launch. I was waiting for another Nomad Cosmetics launch, and when they launched their Christkindlmarkt intense color & chrome palette, I picked up both palettes. I also got a free gift with the Christkindlmarkt palette. Both palettes are beautiful, and I generally really enjoy Nomad Cosmetics eyeshadows.
I haven’t been interested in a Natasha Denona midi palette in a while, because they’ve had very neutral colour stories. However, there was something about the Bloom palette that I liked, but I didn’t want to pay full price for it, so I waited for the Sephora Singles’ Day sale to purchase it.
These are the other items I got in the Sephora Singles’ Day sale; the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in N1, a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in 1.3G Marshmallow (my favourite concealer), and a Sephora Collection Rouge Is Not My Name no transfer matte lipstick in 07 Pinpoint.
I’m always excited about a new MAC launch, so I picked up two MAC Dazzlelips crayons in the shades Cosmic Plum and Lunar Violet. I got them 25% off.
Here are some things I got in the Zalando Singles’ Day sale. I picked up another shade of the MAC Colour Excess gel pencil eyeliners, and it’s called Blueberry Milk. I also bought another shade of the NABLA Close-Up Blurring powder blush, and it’s called Lucky Rose. Lastly, I got the The Library of Fragrance Pistachio Ice Cream Eau de Cologne, because I was curious about the brand and the scent, but it’s too artificial and cheap-smelling for my taste.
I made an order from Niche-Beauty, because they had a 25% off sale. I’ve been wanting to try Lisa Eldridge lip products for a long time, so I picked up the The Holiday Ribbon Kit, which included the True Velvet lip colour in Velvet Ribbon and the Enhance and Define lip pencil in Ribbon; such a pretty classic red shade. I also got the Lisa Eldridge Insanely Satuated lip colour in New Wave, which is a beautiful berry purple shade. Lastly from Niche-Beauty, I picked up the PHLUR Vanilla Skin body mist, which is a lovely scent.
Let’s move on to accessories, clothes, and shoes. I got these pearl jewellery and bow hair clip in a H&M sale. I’ve worn the pearl necklace quite often lately.
I also got this faux fur hat in the H&M sale.
I found this boucle style jacket at a charity second hand store, and I actually wore it yesterday.
I couldn’t wear this Christmas top from Next this past Christmas due to my baby bump, but I’m excited to wear it next Christmas.
I love a coloured tight, and I found these purple ones from the brand DIM on sale.
I knew I had to have these M&M’s Crocs from the moment I laid eyes on them. I love the green colour, the glitter, and the M&M Jibbitz, and I’m also quite fond of the style called Bae. And that’s the end of the haul, and what a piece to end with.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love purple (it’s my favourite colour), and even though I’m not wearing all matching purples in this look, I still really like it.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know how I feel about green and pink together, so I really like this look. A little more “subtle” maybe than other make-up looks I’ve worn lately, but very pretty.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Obviously, I had to continue with the monochromatic bordeaux/burgundy theme when it came to my make-up, and I think the look turned out very pretty.
