I have a Monolith haul to share with you today. This is one of my “smaller” Monolith hauls consisting of six beautiful eyeshadow palettes and one stunning highlighter palette.
The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Flourish and Flutter palettes are oh so pretty. These colour stories are so fun, and the Ensley Reign Cosmetics eyeshadow quality is incredible.
I got three palettes from Simply Posh Cosmetics. I really like the way they organise their palettes with a row of lighter mattes, a row of special shimmers, and a row of deeper mattes. This is the Coastal palette, which is one of their more neutral palettes, but it’s interesting neutrals with some pops of colour.
The Aurora Lights palette was very high on my wishlist for so long, because this colour story has my name written all over it. I think this is my favourite Simply Posh palette I’ve tried so far.
The Citrus Punch palette from Simply Posh Cosmetics is summer in a palette. It’s just so vibrant and fun!
And lastly, I picked up the Bellabeautébar Oracle Chrome highlighter palette, which had also been on my radar for quite a while. If you like intense, colourful, shifty highlighters, this palette is for you.
I have a collective beauty haul to share with you today. About half of the products were on sale. Let’s talk about those first.
I had a bit of an obsession with collecting all of the Sol de Janeiro Cheriosa perfume mists in 2024. This is number 48 (90 ml), which I think used to be the limited edition scent called Bikini Season. It has notes of guava nectar, sunlit orchid, and pink musk, and it smells very nice.
The KVD Beauty Dazzle Sticks are probably my favourite shadow sticks, and when they release new shades, I have to pick them up. These two newest shades are called Tornado Haze 70 and Dusk Rush 80. And I loved the Fenty Beauty Demi’ Glow light-diffusing highlighter in Pretty Purlz 01 so much that I had to pick up the pink shade called Tutu Much 03.
From NYX I purchased three more shades of the Buttermelt blushes; 04 U Know Butta, 05 Had Butta, and 06 For The Butta. I also got one of the newer shades of the Fat Oil Lip Drips and it’s called 13 Losin’ Cone-trol.
I love that rom&nd has become more widely available in Europe. I bought the Juicy Lasting Tint in 06 Figfig and two of the Dewy-Ful Water Tints in 07 Cherry Way and 10 Murmur Pink.
Lastly, I picked up some things from two Catrice summer collections. From the Summer Obsessed collection I got the bronzing cushion stick in C01 Sun Of Rhodos, the cooling lip oil in C03 They See Me Aperollin’, and the glowy face palette in C01 Seaside Glow. Sadly, the only product I liked from this collection was the lip oil. The packaging of the bronzer was horrible to use and the shades in the face palette barely showed up on the skin, so I’ve already decluttered those to products.
From the Catrice Poolside of Life collection I got the waterproff eyeliner in C01 Lime Crush, which I actually haven’t tried yet, and the three nail lacquers in C01 Sundowner, C02 Deep Dive, and C03 Purple Skies, which are all pretty, shifty shades.
And very lastly, I got the Make Up Store metallic liquid lipstick in Queen as a free gift with purchase.
I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. Most of the items in this haul were on sale.
I picked up two tulle skirts. The pink one is from Vila and the cream one with navy polka dots is from Only. I bought the pink one because it reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw. I haven’t worn it yet though. I have worn the cream one with the polka dots twice, and I love both outfits I created with it.
I purchased three pairs of shoes. This first pair is from Marco Tozzi, and I just love the iridescent rainbow sparkles and the fact that they remind a bit of ballroom dance shoes.
I contemplated buying these ramen heels from Koi Footwear for so long, but I eventually caved and got them. I love ramen, and these shoes are so unique and fun.
I also had these shoes and bag from the ALDO Barbie collaboration in my Zalando wishlist for so long, and I finally bought them, when they went on sale. I can’t wait to style these for summer.
For jewellery I picked up a brooch from Pieces, a ring from ALDO, and the cutest T-Rex earrings from Coach.
Let’s move on to beauty. I really enjoy Real Techniques brushes, so I got this Solar Power brush set on sale.
I got the Revlon Colorstay Suede Ink lipstick in In Charge (009) and the L’Oréal True Match radiant serum concealer in 1N. Sadly, I’ve already decluttered both of these products. The lipstick wasn’t anything special, and the concealer was stinging my undereye area, which obviously wasn’t pleasant.
I really like the NYX Buttermelt blushes, and I think these two shades called 01 My Butta Half and 02 Butta Together were the first to shades I bought, and I really like both shades.
The last four products are also from NYX, and they’re from their 2024 holiday launch. I picked up the NYX Home Alone Ultimate Battle Plan shadow palette, the NYX Buttermelt face palette in 01, and two of the NYX Butter Gloss swirl lip glosses in Peppermint Swirl and Holly Berry Swirl. I’ve enjoyed these products.
I have a beauty and accessories haul to share with you today. Everything was on sale apart from the first lip liner and lipstick.
When I saw that Rare Beauty had launched a red shade in the Kind Words matte lip liner and lipstick, I had to pick them up. The shade is called Devoted, and it’s super pretty.
I’d been wanting to try the Sephora Collection About That Shine lacquer shine and sheer shine lipsticks, so I got the lacquer shine lipstick in the shade 09 Volcanic Lava and two of the sheer shine lipsticks in the shades 10 Radiant Flame and 16 Electric Glitter. Both formulas are very lovely.
The last make-up product, which I also really wanted to try, is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Contour Stick in Chocolate Mousse. It’s a very creamy, blendable bronzer that looks beautiful on the skin, and it smells divine, like orange flavoured chocolate.
Let’s move on to the accessories. I got this floral tote bag from Pieces that can hold a lot of stuff.
From Pieces I also got these big, asymmetrical earrings.
And speaking of earrings, I also picked up these three pairs from Mango.
I also got this pearl necklace from Pieces. You know I love me some pearls.
I also love brooches, and I was so excited to find these pretty, beaded butterfly ones from Becksöndergaard. I actually wore the pink one yesterday, and I’m wearing both the blue one and the green one today.
Last up, we have hair accessories. I bought this headband and these two hair clips from Pieces.
I also bought a navy blue flower hair clip, a pink flower hair tie, and a big pink scrunchie from Becksöndergaard. I’ve really enjoyed wearing all of these accessories.
Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. I’d never worn face jewels before, but what better day to play with face jewels for the first time than New Year’s Eve.

I have a rather large Asos sale haul to share with you today. Some of the pieces I even got an extra 20% off. The haul includes a bit of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories, and make-up. Let’s begin with the clothes.
This little nautical inspired sweater vest is from Asos Design, and I think it’s so cute.
I believe tomato print and strawberry print and the like were quite popular last summer, and I just thought this tomato print blouse from Pieces was very fun and summery.
I picked up a another Spice Girls T-shirt from Asos Design. This one is grey which is not a colour I wear much, but I think it goes with a lot of different colours and acts like a neutral.
Like so many other people, I’ve been liking animal print, and I thought this jacket from Only was fun with the leopard print faux fur trims.
This matching set/suit from Asos Design is just so nice, and I can’t wait to style it and wear it.
I got two blue (and white) dresses from Asos Design. Both are super cute.
The last piece of clothing I picked up was (another) pair of red tights. I just love a coloured tight, and especially a red pair. These are from Asos Design.
These two pairs of heels are kind of in the same family; they’re both a shade of pink and strappy with a red detail on the front. The ones with the cherries are from Public Desire and the ones with the roses are from Glamorous.
Let’s move on to accessories. I think a tie is a really nice accessory that I want to wear more often, so I picked up these two checkered ties from the brand My Accessories.
How cute is this chain belt from Asos Design? It adds such a lovely detail to an outfit.
I saw a lot of cherry jewellery last summer as well, and this matching necklace and pair of earrings are from DesignB London.
Here’s another cute matching necklace and earrings set. Bows were popular pretty much all of last year, and these pieces from Asos Design are so cute and pretty.
And speaking of bows, I also picked up a golden necklace with a bow from Pieces, which is also very pretty. The other necklace is from Asos Design, and I really like the pearls and the malakit.
I also picked up these three pieces from Asos Design; a golden bangle with hearts, another style of cherry earrings, and a ring with a circle design.
The last jewellery in this haul is this set of two anklets or ankle bracelets from Topshop.
For hair accessories I got a purple beaded headband from My Accessories. You know I love a headband and I really like a beaded one. I also love bows in my hair, so I got two small hair clips from Reclaimed Vintage and a big pink and red striped one from DesignB London.
Lastly, I bought three make-up products. I got the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filter in Strawberry Cream, the Clinique Pop longwear lipstick in Poppy Pop, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip dewy setting spray.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t done a lot of red and gold make-up looks this past Christmas season, so I thought it was appropriate to make my last Christmas make-up look of the season a red and gold one.

Here’s the make-up I wore with my Christmas Eve outfit. I wore the Dede Signature Jingle Bell Ruby palette on my eyes, and as you can see it was a perfect match for my outfit.

I hope everyone had a great start to 2025. Let’s begin the new year with a throwback to Christmas Eve, because this is what I wore. I bought this dress in H&M’s Cyber Monday sale, and I think it’s so pretty.
