Here’s what I wore Wednesday January 10. This oversized jumper is so soft and comfy, and I love the retro-looking print and the colours of course.

5 favourites – February
February was another tough month for me, so once again I won’t write a whole ton in this 5 favourites post. However, as always, I did find 5 favourites this past month that I’ll share with you, so here goes.
NYX Pro Fix Stick correcting concealers: I don’t remember the last time I tried a stick concealer, but I’m very impressed with these ones from NYX. I got two correctors (pink and green) and a concealer shade that matches my skin, and I like all three of them. They’re creamy and easy to blend, and they have nice coverage.
Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer (shade: Ignite): I’m pretty sure, I haven’t featured this particular shade of Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in a 5 favourites post before, so I thought it was about time, since it’s one of my favourite eyeshadow primers.
Essence I Love Extreme crazy volume mascara: It took me a long time to try this mascara, because for some reason I didn’t think I would like it, but it turns out that I do. It gives you lashes a lot of volume, so the name of it makes sense.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara (shade: Pink Air): I don’t think I’ve ever featured two mascaras the same month, but this one is very different from the Essence one. And I have featured this mascara formula in a 5 favourites before, but not this shade. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara is one of my top favourite mascaras, and I love that it now comes in more shades, such as this beautiful pink.
Pandora hoop earrings (w. Disney pendants): I love my Pandora x Disney jewellery, and I got these hoop earrings for Christmas to wear with Disney pendants. For now I’ve been wearing them with these Mickey and Minnie pendants, but who knows, I might change it up in the future.
Sickly sweet pastels
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love a pastel eye look, and the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette (which I haven’t hauled yet) could easily become my new favourite pastel palette.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder (shade: 1 Fair). Face make-up: bronzer – MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Matte bronzer (shade: Matte Light Rosy), blusher – Colourpop pressed powder blush in Prairie Air, highlighter – Colourpop Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon pressed powder highlighter in Moonlight.

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: MAC Shock Value Pro Longwear lip pencil + Colourpop Lux lip oil in Lights Szn)
Snowbody’s business
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to try out a some of the MAC Bizarre Blizzard holiday 2023 products that had launched around that time, therefore the icy blue eyes and red lips.

Zalando sale haul (September 2023)
I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes a mix of everything.
I already own this type of dress from Monki in another pattern, but it’s just such a comfortable dress to wear in the summer.
These pastel Jeffrey Campbell loafers were a bit of a splurge, but I’d been eyeing them for so long, and I got a Zalando gift card for my birthday last year, so I decided to finally get them. I’m wearing them here and here.
You know I love Crocs, and I love to accessorise them with fun Jibbitz, so I picked up these three 5-packs in the sale.
The only thing I picked up from the Revolution x Grease collection was the It’s The Word shadow palette. I really like the colour story, and it actually performed quite well. I’m wearing it here.
BH Cosmetics is sadly not the great brand that it used to be, but I still decided to try out a couple of their newer products; the Summer Heat cream bronzer in Light and the Juicy Gossip lip oil in Mango. Both products are nice, but not my absolute favourites.
Bright green shimmer
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. There’s something so pretty and eye-catching about a bright green shimmer eyeshadow.

Make-up go-tos
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Purple eyes and red lips are definitely some of my make-up go-tos.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth skin tint stick (shade: 02), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur in Translucent.

Collective haul (September 2023)
I have a collective haul to share with you today. It mostly consists of make-up, but there’s also one clothing item and one piece of jewellery in the mix.
I love a good roll neck top and this one from Monki is just so cute and a perfect layering piece.
This “bolo tie” necklace is from Reclaimed Vintage. I got it 20% off from Asos, and I thought it was cute.
Let’s move on to make-up, and let’s begin with this little mix of products. I picked up a lighter shade in the Nars Light Reflecting foundation. It’s in the shade Oslo, and it might actually be a little light on me, so when I wear this foundation I mix it with the other shade I own, Mont Blanc. The other foundation I purchased is the KVD Beauty Good Apple Skin-Perfecting foundation balm in Light 006. I’ve been wanting to try this foundation ever since it launched, and this shade Light 006 is a great match. I really enjoy this foundation. I think I might have had the Catrice True Skin High Cover concealer in my collection before, but decided to try it out again. I got the shade 002 Neutral Ivory, and I think I like it. I mainly picked up the Lottie London Bubble Tea primer for the gimic. And I know I like the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks, so I got another shade. It’s called Rebel Red, and it looks very pretty.
I don’t wear a lot of neutral eyeshadows, but I love the Natasha Denona eyeshadow formulas, so I caved and bought the I Need A Nude palette. For a neutral palette this is very pretty. I’m wearing it here.
Last, but most certainly not least, I obviously had to have the Oden’s Eye x Angelica Helaween collab palettes. I love Oden’s Eye eyeshadows and Angelica Nyqvist is one of my favourite content creators, and she’s all about colourful eyeshadow, so these palettes are right up my street. The first palette is called Little Ghost and the second one is called Trick Or Treat. I’m wearing Little Ghost on it’s own here and both palettes in combination with each other here.
Sephora haul (August/September 2023)
I have a collective Sephora haul to share with you today. I picked up these products in August and September.
I bought two concealers; a back-up of my favourite, the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in the shade 1.3G Marshmellow, and the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in the shade N2. I already have the Hy-Glam concealer in another shade, but it’s too light, but sadly this shade is too dark, so at the moment I mix the two.
From Natasha Denona I also picked up two of the Macro Tech eye crayons. These are in the shades Fushi and Camu Camu, and they’re super pretty colours.
I finally got to try out Makeup By Mario, when the brand launched at Sephora. I was most interested on trying out the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer and the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums.
I bought the SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in Light, and I love it. This is such a beautiful cream bronzer.
I decided to get two shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Rose Glow and Plum Glow. These are very pretty on the lips.
