Here’s what I wore on Valentine’s Day, Friday February 14. This was the last day of my week of Valentine’s Day inspired looks, and this is definitely the darkest look I wore all week, but I love it. I love the dark red paired with lavender, black, and white. I also love the mix of prints.

I have a small NA-KD Cyber Monday sale haul to share with you today. It consists of a pair of shoes and a handful of bags.
I didn’t have a pair mustard heels, and these croc mules are quite nice. I wore them here.
I thought this leather leopard print shoulder bag seemed like really nice quality, and it will go with a lot of different looks.
I brought this pearl bag with me to a family visit/party last weekend, and it’s really pretty and spacious.
This bag might be my favourite of the bunch. I just love shiny, pretty things!
And one red bag apparently wasn’t enough, because I also got this one, which is also lovely.
Lastly, I bought two of the same bag in two different colours; navy and pink. Everything in this haul was 50% off apart from the last pink bag, which was 60% off.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve always thought that a bright orange lip didn’t suit me that well, and I still don’t think it’s the best lip colour on me, but it sure is a bright and fun look.

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. I purchased these items back in December last year, and some of the items I purchased in Cyber Monday sales. This haul includes a bit of everything. I’ll group the items by where I got them from.
Let’s begin with what I picked up in the H&M Cyber Monday sale. I got this beautiful burgundy dress with rhinestones all over it. I wore it on Christmas Eve.
I also got a pair of straight leg blue jeans from H&M, because I thought they might come in handy at some point.
You know I’ve been loving a flower pin, so I got these three (the two black ones and the leopard print one) from H&M. I also got a white flower scrunchie.
The last thing a picked up in the H&M Cyber Monday sale is this pair of big, heart-shaped pearl earrings, and they’re really cute.
Let’s move on the the things I got from Zalando. I thought this Elf tie from the brand OppoSuits was too fun not to buy.
I also bought two pairs of shoes from Zalando. I got the ALDO x Wicked Glinda inspired sling-backs, and they’re so pretty. I also got another pair of Teva sandals, but this time with a platform and in one of my favourite colour combos, red and pink.
I also purchased my first ever products from Moira, which was a new brand to Zalando at the time. This is the I’m Falling For You palette. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.
For eyes I also wanted to try out the Starshow shadow pot in Eureka and the Diamond Daze liquid shadow in 01 Airglow.
And for cheeks, I got the Loveheat cream blush in I Adore Yo and the Dreamlight highlighter in Dreamlight.
Now let’s talk about some bits I got from Beauty Bay (not sale). I got the Trixie Cosmetics Gel lip liner and Buttercream lipstick in Fashionably Late, because I wanted to try this new line of lip liners and lipstick shades.
I don’t pick up that much from Jeffree Star Cosmetics anymore, but he hadn’t released new shades of the Velour liquid lipsticks in a while, so I bought the shades RedRum Remix (red w. shimmer), Star Knockout (dark purple), and Mountain View (metallic brown). I’d also been wanting to try the Liquid Frost highlighter and chose the shade Frostitute.
Lastly, I’ll show you some jewellery I got as Christmas presents and a pair of tights I also got for Christmas. I’ve had this Trollbeads Cookie Joy ring on my wishlist for so long, so I was very happy to receive it for Christmas last year.
I also got these five beads for my bracelet, bangle, and/or ring, and they’re all so pretty.
I have a lot of Pandora x Disney jewellery too and how cute are these Mickey Mouse earrings?!
From Pandora x Disney I also received this Lilo & Stitch charm. So cute!
And lastly, I got a pair of fuchsia pink tights from Sneaky Fox.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The September Rose Cosmetics Still Pretty palette, which I think is sadly no longer around, is the perfect palette for Valentine’s Day looks. The shade Zinnia is one of my favourite red shimmer shades in my collection, if not my absolute favourite.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not very often that I wear this kind of warm toned neutral eye look, and it probably won’t ever be my fabsolute favourite kind of eye look, but I do think it’s pretty.
