Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not only holiday clothing I couldn’t wait to wear, it’s also holiday make-up (stay tuned for a holiday make-up haul). I’m wearing the BH Cosmetics Naughty shadow palette on my eyes, and it’s love at first sight.

Big collective H&M haul pt. 2

It’s time for part 2 of my big collective H&M haul; the accessories.

It has definitely gotten colder outside, so I got a new scarf and a neck warmer. The scarf is of course purple or lilac, because as you know I’m obsessed with everything purple.

I’ve been wanting a pair of ear warmers like these ones for such a long time, and I’ve already worn them so many times.

I found this Mickey Mouse Fantasia reversible bucket hat in the men’s section, and I just thought it was really cute.

H&M has this 3 for 2 deal on tights, and I really wanted the Mickey Mouse tights (obviously), so I thought why not get two more pairs of tights. I actually got three more pairs since I got a 2 pack with a navy pair and a beige pair. The third pair of tights that I bought is a black pair with gold dots. I think they’ll be perfect for the holiday season.

I’ve also purchased a couple of festive headbands; a black sequins one and one with a big red velvet bow. I’m excited to wear both of these.

And last but not least, I’ve purchased some different fun earrings; a pair of sparkly snakes, and pair of sparkly eyes (which I actually wore in my last post), and a mix of fun gold hoops and studs (and a single earcuff).

It’s time for a big collective H&M haul. Part 1 is going to be clothes, and part 2 is going to be accessories.

It has gotten cold outside, so it’s time for winter coats, scarves and gloves etc. I’ve gotten myself two new puffer jackets, and as you can see, they’re both purple, though different shades of purple. I just love purple so much that I had to have both.

Let’s stay with tops. I got one T-shirt and a bunch of knitwear and sweatshirts. The T-shirt is this cute light yellow one with a Mickey and friends print.

Sweater wests are a huge trend right now, and I love them. I loved the look of this cropped black one; I love the purple and pink flowers and the subtle kind of argyle pattern.

I’m not much of a cardigan person, but I really liked this Alive in Wonderland inspired one.

And now on to a couple of jumpers. The stripy one is from the H&M x Kangol collection, and I love the colour scheme and the oversized fit. The red jumper with a wintery Mickey on it was a must have for me. I could maybe have featured it in my upcoming Christmas clothing haul, but I don’t think it has to be worn only at Christmas time or in December in general. I’m actually planning on wearing it next week.

Okay, so the next couple of pieces are purple as well. Now you’re warned:) This is a sweatshirt dress, and it’s just so incredibly comfortable.

I got myself three Disney-related sweatshirt (well, actually four, but I’ll get back to that in a moment). I love everything about the Toy Story one. It says “Toy Story” on the front and has Rex pictured on the back. And it’s purple of course. What’s not to like. The lilac Aristocats sweathirt was just too cute to leave behind, and the same goes for the Alice in Wonderland rabbit sweatshirt, which has the cutest little white ruffle collar.

I’ve purchased one more sweatshirt, but it’s a part of this matching set. I’m not the kind of person that wear joggers, not even around the apartment on weekends, but that might have changed. I wore this set all of last weekend, and I loved wearing it. It’s so comfortable, but cute at the same time.

And the last clothing item from this big collective H&M haul is this festive checked midi skirt. It comes with a matching belt which is such a nice detail, and I think it’ll be great to pair with Christmas jumpers.

MAC Frosted Firework holiday 2020

It’s that time of the year again. Time to purchase this year’s MAC holiday collection. It’s been out for a little while now, but I still think you can get a lot of the items. It’s called the Frosted Firework collection, and the packaging is shiny, pale pink with silver and glitter details; very pretty. I purchased two lipsticks, an eyeliner, an highligter, and a highlight palette from the collection.

The lipsticks I bought are in the shades Once Bitten, Ice Shy (love that name) and Out With A Bang. Once Bitten, Ice Shy is described as a sheer white w. pearl and it has a lustre finish, and Out With a Bang is described as a deep rich burgundy and it has an amplified creme finish.

I don’t usually go for eyeliners when it comes to these limited edition collections, but I was intrigued by this Dual Powerprint eye pencil. It’s in the shade Short Fuse/Be Cool Bb and the shades are described as a purple with multicoloured pearl and a bright white with pearl.

And now on to highlighters. The Extra Dimension Skinfinish formula is one of my favourite highlight formulas, so I had to have this frosty white beauty called Let It Glow.

My favourite products to buy from MAC holiday collections besides lipsticks are the face compacts. They usually have the Extra Dimension formula, and this year MAC gave us the Flashing Ice Extra Dimension Skinfinish trio. I picked up the light version, and it contains the following shades (from left to right): Glitzed Out, There She Glows, and Out on the Tinseltown. I love the names, and the shades are so pretty!

Revolution x Friends

I haven’t tried many products from Revolution, but when I saw that they had made a Friends collection, I had to get my hands on some of the products, since I’m a huge Friends fan.

I absolutely had to get the smaller eyeshadow palettes; one for each of the girls. The packaging is super cute, and I love the names of the eyeshadows as well. I’ve only tried the Rachel and the Monica palette once each, so I haven’t formed a proper opinion on these palettes yet, but they do look pretty.

Here’s the inside of the Rachel palette. I love that there’s a shade called dinosaur.

This is the Monica palette. This has a very nice autumnal colour story.

And here’s what the Phoebe palette looks like. There’s some slightly softer shades in this one.

I sadly didn’t manage to get my hands on any of the lipsticks, but I did purchase two lipglosses. I got the Rachel and the Ross shades, which is quite fitting, right? The lids on these glosses are so cute, and I’m excited to try out the formula.

5 favourites – October

Happy halloween. I’m going to end October with a halloween date with my boyfriend. We’re going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is very fitting, since we are only a month away from December now, and I’m so, so, so excited for Christmas! I had lots of favourites this past month, but I managed to narrow it down to five, so here goes.

Purple corduroy trousers: As you might have noticed (and I have mentioned) I’ve been obsessed with everything purple this year, and especially the last couple of months. I’d been wanting a pair of purple high waist wide leg trousers for so long, and these Monki ones are perfect, and I’ve worn them a lot. So stay tuned for many more purple looks.

Purple, christmassy sock slippers: It has definitely gotten colder outside, and I’m often cold, so I’ve been wearing these sock slippers (I dont’ know if that’s a thing) almost every day around the apartment. I know they have Christmas trees and snow flakes on them, but because they’re not traditional Christmas colours, I thought I could start wearing them a little early:)

Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand mirror: I didn’t think I would love a hand mirror this much, but I do my make-up very early in the morning when it’s now completely dark outside, and this mirror has been perfect to do my eye make-up in. I do have a standing mirror on my vanity, but it can be difficult to get close enough to my face, especially when I’m only relying on artificial light, so this mirror has been a huge help. And this was the last purple item (at least in this post).

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane green tea: I’m obsessed with everything that smells or tastes like candy cane and peppermint, and this tea is so delicious. It’s decaffeinated, so it’s been my go-to evering tea.

Disney+ (streaming service): I debated with myself whether I should get Disney+ or not, even though I’m a huge Disney fan, but then my sisters asked me if we should get it together, and I said yes immediately, and it was the best decision. I’ve watched so many different things on Disney+ already and there’s still so much more, I’m exicted to watch.

Huge Asos haul part 2

Here’s part two of my latest Asos haul; the jewellery and hair accessories.

I’ve started to wear more golden jewellery, and I’ve been wanting to add some golden rings (anyone else humming “12 Days of Christmas” when hearing or reading golden rings?), and thought this one from Asos’ own brand was fun. I’ve actually worn it quite a few times already.

These earrings are by the brand Kingsley Ryan, and they are so pretty. I’ve actually already posted a look featuring these earrings (look here).

I’m still not over headbands and big hair clips. All six pieces are from Asos’ own brand.

I know this is not a piece of jewellery or a hair accessory, but I thought I would show you this Coca Cola key ring anyways, because it’s so cute. It’s by the brand Typo, which makes lots of cute and fun items.

Huge Asos haul part 1

I have a huge two part Asos haul to share with you. This first part is clothes, shoes and a bag. The second part is jewellery and hair accessories.

When we get closer to Christmas, I’ll be posting my annual Christmas clothing haul with pieces that are new this season. However, I’ve also purchased a few Christmas jumpers, or in this case sweashirts, from last year on sale. The first one is from Monki and has a very dainty silver embroidered Christmas tree on it. The other two are both from Asos’ men’s department, and you know I can’t resist a Disney print, and I love Home Alone; it’s such a classic Christmas film.

Fitted roll neck tops are stables in my wardrobe, and since I’m obsessed with everything purple, I thought I would add this lilac one from Stradivarius to my ever growing roll neck top collection.

And now on to a couple of graphic T-shirts with two musical artists that I love. The Fleetwood Mac T-shirt is from Asos’ own brand, and the Whitney Houston T-shirt is from Daisy Street.

One of my other obsessions, besides everything purple, is corduroy. Corduroy trousers have been my go-tos for autumn and winter for the past 3 years or so, and I want them in all colours. For now I’ve added this pair of steel blue ones from Weekday.

I couldn’t resist these dino socks, and they came with light blue pair as well. They’re from Asos’ own brand.

I’ve also purchased three pairs of shoes. Three very different pairs of shoes. It’s finally boot season, and I really liked the zebra print hiker style boots (from Asos’ own brand). The platform loafers are from Raid, and they’re very Gucci like and perfect for ’70s inspired looks. And the last pair is just some super pretty fuchsia pink velvet heels also from Asos’ own brand.

Last, but not least, the prettiest belt bag ever. The picture doesn’t do it justice, because this belt bag from Skinnydip has the most amazing holographic rhinestones all over the front of the bag, and I love it.
