Here’s what I wore Monday December 7. I haven’t hauled this Christmas jumper yet, because it was an advent calendar present from my mum. It’s really nice and I think it looks great paired with my green corduroy trousers.
(Jumper – Julesweaters, trousers – Monki, boots – Topshop)
Revolution has released a part two to their Friends collection, which consists of palettes and body/bath products. These are the items I decided to get.
The only palette I decided to get from the collection is the Open The Door shadow palette. The packaging is really cute, and the quality of the shadows is really nice. Even though it’s mainly a neutral palette, it does has some pops of colour and some of the neutrals are a bit different. I’m really excited to create more looks with this palette.
These other products I purchased from the collection are the Espresso body scrub, the Espresso body butter, the Vanilla Latte lip scrub, and the Caramel Latte lip mask. I haven’t tried any of these products yet, but I love the coffee theme.
It’s time for a collective Zalando haul. I’ve purchased most of these items a month or two ago, so it’s about time that I get to post this haul.
This fleece cardigan/jacket from Monki is incredibly soft and I of course love the colours (remember my obsession with everything purple).
This purple corduroy shirt is also from Monki, and it’s the same colour as my purple corduroy trousers, and I have actually already worn them together.
The last clothing piece from Monki in this haul is this dusty green short sleeve blazer. I have also worn this, and it’s such a fun piece and great for layering.
Moving on to Bershka and a bunch of Disney pieces. Most of them have Mickey Mouse prints, but I also got this Disney princess oversized sweatshirt, which is super comfy.
This jumper (also from Bershka) is just so cute, and I had to have it. I have already worn it, and I wore it with the jeans below.
These wide leg jeans are just great. They are really long, which looks great when paired with heels, but they also work with sneakers when cuffed. They’re from Bershka as well.
And now on to a few accessories. This Mickey Mouse belt bag is from PULL&BEAR and it’s so cute and appears very roomy as well. And that was the last Disney piece.
I had a zebra print bucket hat as a child that I loved, so I’ve been wanting a zebra print bucket hat to fit my adult head. This one is from Bershka, and I’m really excited to style it.
And now, shoes. I’ve been wanting a pair of chunky black shoes and was happy to find these ones from Bershka. I’ve worn them a couple of times, but sadly I’ve gotten hand sanitizer on them, and it won’t come of. Any advice on how to remove hand sanitizer from shoes?
Here’s another pair of black chunky shoes but in boot form. These are from PULL&BEAR, and they’re just a great stable to have in your wardrobe.
Last, but not least, I have purchased these awesome two toned knee high boots from Monki. I initially purchased them on Monki’s website, but they were sold out or something, so I was happy to see them on Zalando and purchased them immediately.
The only holiday make-up collections I usually buy are MAC and Jeffree Star, but this year there are so many cute holiday palettes and lip sets, so I decided to get some products from BH Cosmetics, Fenty Beauty, and Too Faced.
Let’s start with BH Cosmetics. I’ve never tried any products from this brand, but these are some of the most festive holiday palettes I’ve ever seen, so I had to have them. I’ve already worn both palettes, and so far I love them. The quality is great for the affordable price and the colour stories are so inspiring; especially the colour story of the Naughty palette. I can’t wait to create many more looks with these palettes.
I love Fenty Beauty as a brand, and I couldn’t resist a few of this year’s holiday sets. The first set that I’ve purchased is the Full Snap – Gift Duo which contains a limited edition Snap Shadows palette in Holo-Daze and a mini Full Frontal mascara. I haven’t tried the mascara before, so I’m excited to do so, and I love the Snap Shadow palettes, and the shades in this one are so pretty.
From Fenty Beauty I also purchased the Glossy Posse – Holo’Daze Christmas Edition which is a set of four mini Gloss Bombs in limited edition shades. The shades are (from left to right): Ruby Milk, Cake Shake, Taffy Tea$e, and Baby Brut. How cute are these glosses!
I’ve never been that interested in Too Faced make-up, but their holiday sets this year caught my eye for some reason. This Cinnamon Bear gift set is so cute, and I can’t wait to try both products.
This is the holiday set that started it all for me this year. It’s the Too Faced Christmas Snuggles & Melted Kisses – Gift Set which contains four mini Melted Matte Liquified Matte Long Wear lipsticks in the shades (from left to right) Hot Toddy, Candy Cane, Sugar Cookie, and Caramel Apple. The packaging is adorable and so festive and the lipsticks actually smell like the things they’re named after, which is incredible. I have already tried a couple of the shades, and I’m really impressed by the formula. I’m going to keep my eye out for sets like this one in the future.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to match my eyeshadow to my green jumper, so I had to break out another new eyeshadow palette (I have many new palettes to haul), because it contained the perfect green shade to match my jumper. It’s of course the new Jeffree Star Blood Money palette, which is a green palette and perfect for this time of year.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to try out another new eyeshadow palette I haven’t hauled yet (I know, I’m way behind on hauls), because it had all these stunning blue shades, which were perfect with the outfit. I’m talking about the By Beauty Bay Book of Magic palette, and I think I’m going to get along very well with this palette.

Finally! December starts tomorrow, and I can’t wait. I have an important day at work tomorrow, but when that’s over, I can relax a bit more and do some christmassy things:) I have actually already been doing quite a few cozy, christmassy things in November even though I’ve been busy at work as well, but I only have three more weeks of work before the Christmas holidays, and I’m so excited about that. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about some November favourites.
Grey Mickey and Minnie Mouse sweatsuit (H&M): I never thought I would be the kind of person that would enjoy wearing a sweatsuit, not even on the weekends, but I’ve worn this one so many times this past month.
Christmas onesie: When I haven’t worn the Mickey and Minnie sweatsuit, I’ve worn this Christmas onesie. I bought this last year, and I didn’t get that much use out of it then, but that sure has changed this year. It’s so warm and so comfy!
Fluffy ear warmers (H&M): It’s gotten really cold outside, so these have been lifesavers + I love that I can wear my hair up and still keep my ears warm.
MAC Flashing Ice Extra Dimension Skinfinish trio – Light: So far this have been my favourite product from this year’s holiday collection from MAC. I love the Extra Dimension formula, and so far I haven’t been disappointed in any of the Extra Dimension holiday palettes.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash: I struggle a lot with spots, and I’d heard that Tea Tree oil is great for getting rid of spots, so for over a month now I’ve been using this facial wash from The Body Shop, and I really like it. My skin is not completely clear, but I have fewer spots now compared to before I started using this product, and it’s definitely one of the best products I’ve used to get rid of spots, so I’ll continue to use this for a while.
It’s time for part 2 of my annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul. This part is all about socks, tights, jewellery, and hair accessories.
Let’s start with socks. I’ve purchased two sets of 5 pcs of Christmas socks. The first five pairs are from H&M and the next five pairs are from Monki, and they are all so cute.
I’ve also bought four single pairs of Christmas socks, and they’re all really cute too.
I’ve also gotten myself some Christmas tights from a supermarket; a pair with mistletoes and a pair with Santa hats. I’m really excited to wear these.
I found these gloves at my local supermarket a while back, and I just thought they were so nice and festive.
And now on to a bunch of jewellery. The brooch and these first three pairs of earrings are all from Flying Tiger, and I think they’re so much fun and very christmassy.
These pretty Christmas tree earrings are from my local supermarket.
All of these next pieces are from H&M. The ones with the red price stickers on them were on sale, and my guess is that they’re from last year, but that doesn’t matter to me. Just look at how festive these pieces are!
I have of course also purchased a few hair accessories. They are both supermarket finds.
And that was this year’s annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul. I’m so, so, so excited to wear christmassy outfits for the next month!
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I couldn’t wait to try the other BH Cosmetics holiday palette either, so this is my first look using the Nice shadow palette. I like this one too, but based on my first impressions, I prefer the Naughty palette.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder in Sheer + Jeffree Star Magic Star Setting Powder in Fair. Face make-up: bronzer – Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r – Instant Warmth bronzer (shade: Inda Sun), blusher – Essence The Blush in 10 Befitting, highlighter – MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Cold Comfort.

Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara.

It’s that time of year again. Time for my annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul, and it’s a two-part haul this year. This part is going to be all about the clothes; jumpers, T-shirts etc. Part two is going to be socks, tights, jewellery, and hair accessories. Let’s get to it.
The one type of Christmas jumper which was definitely missing from my rather extensive collection was one with lights. This one is from a Danish brand called Julesweaters (which translates to Christmas sweaters), and I’ve had my eye on this one for a couple of Christmases now I think. It has lights in four of the baubles, and they light up when you hit them. I’m going to feel and look like a Christmas tree when I wear this.
Christmas and Disney are two of my favourite things, and when I saw this on shopDisney, I just knew I had to have it. It has pompoms, a bell and sequins. What’s not to like.
The men’s department of H&M always makes great Christmas jumpers. I mean, just look at these two. They feature two more of my favourite things; Coca Cola and dinosaurs.
And sticking with dinosaurs and men’s jumpers. How great is this one from Asos!
And now on to a couple of red ones both purchased at supermarkets. I really liked the blue details on the first one with the reindeer, and I think the gingerbread men and women on the second one are so cute.
Here are two that you’ve already seen, because I wore these in my last two outfit posts (check them out here and here). Both are from H&M.
I’m so excited to wear this matching sweatshirt and leggings set from Monki. I think it’s going to be so cute and cozy.
And last but not least, the T-shirts. The one with the sloth and the one with the gingerbread men are both from Monki and both adorable. The Love Actually one is from H&M (I love that film), and the Coca Cola one is from my local supermarket.
I cannot wait to wear all of these pieces!
