Collective haul – clothes + shoes (February 2023)

It’s time for a collective clothes and shoes haul. These are all items I purchased back in February.

I love an oversized blazer, I love corduroy, and I love pink, so I loved this blazer from Monki, and it was even on sale.

You’ve already seen me wear these red and pink checkered trousers a couple of times (here and here). They’re also from Monki, and I got them 20% off.

It’s always nice to have a selection of joggers in your wardrobe, and I got this wide leg pair from H&M on sale.

You have also seen me wear this dress; I wore it at my daughter’s christening. It’s from Monki.

Here’s another Monki dress, but I haven’t worn this one yet. I love the pattern and all the colours, but it’s not very breastfeeding friendly.

I love coloured tights and picked up a green pair from Monki and three pairs from Calzedonia in navy, purple, and pink.

I got two pairs of Mary Jane style shoes. The purple pair is from Koi Footwear and the orange pair is from Monki. The Monki style I also own in black, white, and pink.

Lastly, I picked up some Coca-Cola Jibbitz for Crocs. So fun, right.

One of the most comfortable

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I think the eye look is super pretty, and the lipstick is one of the most comfortable matte liquid lipsticks I think I’ve ever worn.

Lookfantastic haul (January-February 2023)

I have a collective Lookfantastic haul to share with you today. This haul consists of products from Natasha Denona, L’Oréal, and MAC.

I was so excited about this lip product launch from Natasha Denona since my go-to lip colour is red. These are the I Need A Rouge Lip Stylettos in Gigi and Emilia and the I Need A Rouge lip crayon in Emilia (I had already picked up the lip crayon in Gigi from Sephora). I absolutely love the formula of both the lipsticks and the lip crayons.

From Natasha Denona I also picked up the Pastel Plexi Glow highlighter and a lash guard, and from L’Oréal I got the Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear Matte bronzer in 250 Light.

Here’s a closer look at the highlighter and the bronzer. The highlighter is a golden champagne colour even though it might look more pastel, and the bronzer is such a nice matte bronzer.

Lastly, I picked up four shades of the MAC Locked Kiss Ink Lipcolours. I wore the dark purple here, and it’s called Sardonic. The yellow orange is called Yes, the pinky red is called Gossip, and the grey is called Stoic. I thought Sardonic was a bit patchy, but I loved the shade Yes. I’m excited to try the other two colours as well.

Legit blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I just love a blue eye look, and the blue mascara is the icing on the cake.

Lips: Essence Soft & Precise lip pencil in 106 Late Night + Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon lipstick in Kissin’ Kutie)

Burgundy and rosey tones

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I thought it was time to do a neutral make-up look again and went for burgundy and rosey tones to match my shirt.

(Base: primer – Iconic London Underglow blurring primer, foundation – Nars Light Reflecting foundation (shade: Mont Blanc), concealers – Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Fair/Light + NYX Bare With Me concealer serum (shade: 02 Light), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + Huda Beauty Glowish Luminous pressed powder in 01 Fair. Face make-up: bronzer – Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow bronzer in Fair, blusher – Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand Pillow Talk in Pink Pop, highlighter – Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Glow Glide Architect highlighter in Moonlit Glow.

Asos 20% off + sale haul (January 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. All of these items were on sale, and there’s a mix of clothes, accessories, and make-up. Let’s begin with clothes.

I love a good sweater vest, and I’d had my eye on this one from Asos Design Men. I love a Disney print, and I think the green and blue looks great together.

You can never go wrong with a colourful T-shirt. This one is from JJXX.

Moving on to accessories. Topshop makes great shoes and great bags, and this multicoloured holographic bag is no exception.

I love a hat even though I don’t wear them all the time. This one from Asos Design, and I have actually already worn it. I wore it here.

This might be a slightly boring purchase, but man, I’ve worn this big black hair clip from Asos Design a lot!

Let’s just talk about all the jewellery pieces at once. I thought the Halloween selection from Asos Design was fun, and they were very heavily discounted. The golden, pearly earrings from SVNX are super pretty, and the little star and moon hoops with amethysts from Kingsley Ryan has come in very handy. The simple braided silver ring is also from Kingsley Ryan.

And now let’s move on to make-up. I picked up another e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow stick, and this one is in the shade Blue Steel. I’d heard great things about the Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer, so I picked it up in the shade Light. I’d also heard good things about the Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint, however, the shade I picked up, which is Warm Fair, is not a great match for me.

How stunning is this Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying face palette – Light/ Medium! I’d been wanting it for a while, so I was very happy to get it on sale.

Lastly, I got two lip products from the Valentine’s Day launch from MAC. I picked up the Lady Danger lipstick, which is a shade I’ve always wanted to try, and it is stunning. I also picked up the Glow Play lip balm in Bouncing Bloom.

All pastel with all pastel

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. An all pastel outfit calls for an all pastel make-up look.

(Base: primer – e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer, foundation – Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator (shade: 20 Fair Neutral), concealers – Sigma Beauty Spectrum Color-Correcting Duo in Light to Medium + 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 – Colourpop Super Shock bronzer in Get Sandy, blusher – Colourpop Super Shock blush in Prenup, highlighter – Colourpop Super Shock highlighter in Spellbound. Eye make-up: base – Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Base Primer in Ignite, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Colourpop Winx Club Just Like Magix palette (shades: Charmix + Lynphea + Solaria + Nature’s Symphony + Domino + Pure Magic), mascaras – MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara + Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes universal volumizing mascara, eyeliners – MAC Powerpoint eye pencil in Mistletoe Mint + NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell. Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner in 063 Eastend Snob + MAC Rose Daydream lipstick)

Quite simple, but nice

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I didn’t have a ton of time to do my make-up that day, but even though this look is quite simple, I still think it turned out nice.

Whoa Glow SPF 30 sunscreen (shade: Sunbeam), foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), 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).
