‘Halo eye’

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not very often that I do a ‘halo eye’, but I think the purple in the center of the eye lid looks really pretty.

Collective MAC haul (May 2023)

I have a collective MAC haul to share with you today. I don’t make as many orders from MAC these days, but back in May I did pick up a handful of things that I thought I would group together in one haul.

I picked up two of the Connect In Colour eye shadow palettes; a 12-pan in Hi-Fi Colour and a 6-pan in Rose Lens.

The colour story of the Hi-Fi Colour palette is quite unique and fun. I wore the palette here.

The Rose Lens palette is more muted, but still pretty. I love the outer packaging of both palettes.

I couldn’t help myself but buy six shades of the Squirt Plumping Gloss Sticks. These are sheer, but have a hint of the colour (at least the shades I’ve worn so far do). I picked up the shades (from left to right) Hazard, Heat Sensor, Jet, Like Squirt, Lower Cut, and Violet Beta. I really like the formula and look of these.

I was so excited to see MAC launching new bronzers. This is the Skinfinish Sunstruck Matte bronzer in the shade Matte Light Rosy. I love that they come in both rosy and golden versions.

Lastly, I bought the new Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder in Light and the Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer foundation in W0. So far I like both of these products, however, the foundation shade is a little light on me.

Multichrome creasing

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I loved how my make-up looked right after application, however, the multichrome eyeshadow I wore on the inner part of my lids creased a lot. I guess that’s just how it is sometimes, when you have hooded eyelids.

Monki and H&M 20% off haul (April 2023)

I have a collective Monki and H&M haul to share with you today. Both brands had a 20% off deal around the same time, so I thought it would be fitting to put all the pieces I picked up into the same haul. Let’s begin with the Monki items.

I love this style of matching suit from Monki. I got several different patterned ones, but this time around a picked up the plain green set, which was on sale and then further 20% off. I wore it last week, and I loved my outfit.

I’ve worn this dress a lot this past summer. I love the style, print, and colours.

Lastly from Monki, I bought these pink, floral platform mules, which are so cute and summery.

Moving on to H&M. I love an oversized T-shirt, especially if it’s in a nice colour with a fun print, and this one ticks all those boxes.

I don’t own a lot of tank tops/vests, but I thought I might get som use out of this pink one, and I have worn it a few times so far.

I picked up three pairs of shoes from H&M, and they’re all very fun. I’ve only worn the beige slingbacks with the butterflies so far, but it’ll be so fun to style the other two pairs as well.

Zalando haul – mainly sale (April/May 2023)

I have a collective Zalando haul to share with you today. Most of the things in this all were on sale. Let’s get started.

First up, dresses. I picked up these two button up dressed from Monki in a sale, and I’ve worn both of them several times already.

I also picked up this skirt from Monki, which has these beautiful bright colours.

The last item I got from Monki is this fun blue oversized T-shirt. I’ve been loving an oversized T-shirt lately, especially paired with flared trousers.

I really like the tights from the brand Calzedonia, and I love that they come in so many different colours. I picked up a new red pair in a bigger size.

The only pair of shoes in this haul are these pink platform boots from Even&Odd. I’m so excited to wear these this autumn and winter.

Lastly, I picked up a handful of make-up products. I’d been wanting to try out the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder for a while, so I picked up the shade Universal in a sale. Then I also got three products from Kiko Milano; the Silky Glow baked bronzer in 01 Warm Sienna, and two of the Green Me eyeliner & khols in 02 Into The Plum and 06 Green Gold.

Here are some closer looks at the first four products.

The very last two products, I purchased, were two lip products from the MAC Pearlescence collection. I got the lipstick in Mauve Over! and the lip pencil in Chicory.
