Collective haul – part 1 (January 2025)

I have a huge collective haul from January this year, and I’m going to divide it into two parts. This first part includes both clothes, shoes, accessories, and beauty, whereas the second part is all beauty products.

I picked up these red wide leg trousers on sale at H&M. I’m actually wearing them today.

I love a colourful, floral midi skirt or dress. The skirt and the purple dress are both from the brand YAS, which is a brand I really like, and the green dress is from Asos Design.

You know I love a Disney print and this burgundy oversized T-shirt with Mickey and Minnie on it is just a nice basic from Asos Design.

Apparently, I managed to buy two different pairs of leopard print boots. The slouchy heeled ones are from H&M, and the flat ones are from Asos Design.

I know Christmas is far away, but I can always use some more Christmas themed jewellery like these earrings from Accessorize.

Let’s move on to make-up. I picked up these three products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Halo Glow Powder Filter pressed powder in Fair Neutral Cool, the Camo liquid bronzer & contour in Fair/Light, and the Camo liquid blush in Bold-Faced Lilac. I really like all three of these.

Here’s a little random selection of products, I picked up back in January; the MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Trick (love these tinted lip balms), the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver glimmer lip oil in Chocoluxe, and the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filter in Ube Cream (one of my favourite liquid blush formulas).

I got all of the last items in this haul from Sephora. This is the Pat McGrath Labs Luminous Legends mega eye shadow palette, which was their holiday palette from 2024. I got it on sale.

I wanted to own something from the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked collection after watching the film, so I got the Tulip Field lipstick in Munchkin Musk.

I also purchased two of the new at the time Natasha Denona Hy-Blush cloudy cream cheek duos in the shades Sweet Cheeks and Flustered, and they’re very pretty. And as I mentioned I love the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filters, so I got another shade. This is the shade Coco Loco from the Icy Nude collection, which is a beautiful deep red, when you blend it out.

Lastly, I caved and got the KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmellow 81 eau de parfum (10 ml). KAYALI is my favourite perfume brand, and even though this sweet scent is my favourite from the brand I still like it.

5 favourites – May

The last spring month has come to an end, and the first month of summer begins tomorrow. I’m still waiting for the warmer summer weather to arrive and stay though. May was a busy month with both ups and downs, but that’s life isn’t it? June is usually quite busy, when you are a teacher due to exams, but I’m also going to wedding and a graduation party towards the end of the month, so I’ll have that to look forward to. But first, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of May.

Crocs (in all shapes and forms): I’ve featured individual pairs of Crocs in these favourites posts before, but I had to feature Crocs in generel this month, because they’re been my most worn footwear. It’s a bit of an obsession at this point, but I just love how fun, customisable, and comfortable Crocs are.

MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder (shade: Translucent): I’ve had this powder for about 1,5 years, and I’ve used it here and there, but I got really into using it this past month. It’s a very fine, blurring powder, but I don’t think it makes the skin look too matte, which is nice, when you like me prefer a more natural or slightly glowy finish. The powder is a part of MAC’s permanent line, I just happen to have it in limited edition packaging.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo liquid bronzer & contour (shade: Fair/Light): e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of my favourite drugstore brands, and I really like most of their products this liquid bronzer included. It’s pretty pigmented, but it blends out very nicely, and I like this particular shade a lot.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Plum Twilight): A couple of months ago, I featured the Burgundy Haze shade of this mascara, which is still a huge favourite of mine, but this past month this dark purple shade has probably been my most worn mascara. It just goes so well with the eyeshadow colours I like to wear the most.

Beautyblender Blendercleanser Liquid Lavender: I had run out of my Real Techniques brush cleanser, so I decided to pick up and try this one from Beautyblender, and I really liked it. I was long overdue with cleaning my make-up brushes, so when I used this cleanser when I finally cleaned them the other day, I was quite impressed by the result.
