Collective haul – beauty (May 2025)

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. These are the beauty bits I purchased back in May.

Let’s begin with some MAC lip products. I love the MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balms, and the shades Serve and Oops! had been on my wishlist for a while, so when I found them on sale, I picked them up. I also love the lip pencils from MAC, so I got the shade Talking Points, which is a repurchase, and the shade Root For Me!

I also picked up some new eye products from MAC. I love the Colour Excess gel pencil eye liners, and these new shades Strawberry Milk and Minty Fresh are so pretty. I’m also quite impressed by the newish Dazzleshadow eye shadow sticks. I chose the shades Haku Haze and Gold Stud.

Now let’s move on to a random selection of things. I bought the Beautyblender Blendercleanser Liquid Lavender and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer in the shade 2, which are both products I really enjoy.

I also picked up another shade of the NYX Buttermelt highlighters, because I love this formula. This is in the shade 05 Bright And Butta, which is a pretty champagne shade.

From the Essence So Cherry Happy collection, I purchased the blushlighter in 010 Love You Cherry Much, the peptide lipgloss in 01 Cherry On Top, and the body mist 100 ml.

From Morphe I got the Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil in the shade Dawn, which is very glowy, but pretty finishing powder.

Lastly, I picked up the Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer, which I’ve been using quite a bit.

Neutrals, blue, and rust

Difficult stripes

Here’s what I wore Monday August 4. I never know how to style this striped dress, so I end up not wearing it. Maybe it’s because it’s so simple. However, this time I was determined to wear it, and I really like how the look turned out.

(Dress – H&M, flower pin – NA-KD, belt + heels – Asos Design)

Blue and rust

Collective haul – clothes, shoes, and accessories (May 2025)

I have a collective clothes, shoes, and accessories haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these items back in May.

I only purchased four pieces of clothing. These three are from H&M, and I got them in a 20% off deal. I’ve worn them all three together, and that look will actually be tomorrow’s outfit post.

The last piece of clothing I bought was this second hand skirt. So pretty.

I’ve got five pairs of shoes to share with you, and let’s begin with the two pairs of heels I picked up. The orange and pink sandals are from Marco Tozzi, and the red ones are from Tamaris; two brands that I’ve purchased from before and that I really like.

It was time to add another pair of Nike Cortez sneakers to my ever-growing collection. I actually ordered three different pairs, but ended up only keeping these ones. I really like this colour combo.

The last two pairs of shoes I got were these two pairs of Crocs. I really wanted a pair of the Marimekko collab Crocs, and these ones are actually the kids’ ones, but they came in my size, and I love the print and colours. I also love the lime green colour of the chunky pair (it’s the style called Bae)!

Let’s move on to accessories. I picked up this golden ring and these floral earrings on sale at Asos, and they’re both from Asos Design.

I got these three pieces on sale from H&M, and I think they’re really pretty.

The next bunch of pieces in this haul are from the Danish website Black Colour. I love a pearl necklace, so I got a “double-stranded” one and a red one.

I also love a flower brooch, and Black Colour usually have some good ones, like this dark green one.

And speaking of flowers, I also got a big mint green flower hair clip. I also bought another fun colourful hair clip. I just love a hair accessory.

This is a mirror keyhanger/bag charm (yes, there’s a mirror inside) that is now living on my everyday bag.

I also got this brown tie. I love adding more ties to my collection.

And speaking of ties, I picked up these four ties at a second hand charity shop, and I paid next to nothing for them. I love a second hand/vintage tie. They have the best prints!

Lastly, I purchased this red second hand waist belt. I wasn’t sure about it, but it was so affordable, so I thought I would give a try, and as it turns out, I’ve already worn it many times. It’s just such a nice addition to many outfits.

Feels very autumnal
