H&M MAMA haul

I’m not sure if it’s of any interest, but I still wanted to do a H&M MAMA haul, because most of the clothes I’ve shopped lately has obviously been maternity clothes. I find it hard to find fun maternity clothes, but I do like a lot of these pieces. Let’s begin with dresses, because that’s what I been buying and wearing the most.

As I wrote in my last outfit post, I usually don’t feel comfortable wearing tight, fitted dresses, but I love how they look on pregnant women, so I purchased the white and black striped one that I wore in my last outfit post and a blue one. I’ve loved wearing both of these.

I’m not really into short dresses either, but I have to say that these three have come in handy in this hot weather we’ve been having in Denmark lately.

And then there are the maxi dresses. There seem to be a lot of maxi maternity dresses, but to be honest they do look cute, and they’re comfy too.

Finding maternity tops is quite difficult, but I did get a few. My mum actually got me the pink T-shirt and the mint green halter top. She also got me some of the dresses.

I also picked up a three pack of nursing tops. I’m sure these will be useful once the baby is born.

I decided to not buy to many maternity bottoms. I purchased a pair of cropped mom style jeans, which I’ve worn quite a bit. I’ve also always wanted a pair of overalls for when I got pregnant. I haven’t worn them yet due to the hot weather, but I think I’ll be wearing them a lot towards the very end of my pregnancy. And lastly, I purchased a pair of denim shorts, and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of those.

And then I had to get a bunch of biker shorts to wear underneath all the dresses. As you can see, I purchased three different kinds, and I actually like all of them. It’s nice to have them in different colours and different thicknesses to wear with different dresses.

Essence and Catrice Disney Classics collections

Today I have an Essence and Catrice Disney Classics collections haul to share with you. The sister brands each did three eyeshadow palettes plus a bunch of other products inspired by classic Disney animal characters, and obviously I had to pick up a bunch of stuff from the collections. Let’s begin with Essence.

Essence released three Disney Classics Silky Eyeshadow Palettes; Bambi 01 Friends Til the End, Dumbo 02 Make A Splash, and Patch 03 Dognapped!. My favourite so far is the Bambi one, which contains some really pretty green shades. I was pretty disappointed in the Dumbo one, but I used a few shades from Patch one today, and I quite liked those.

The other three products I picked up from the Essence collection are the Disney Classics Maxi Blush Highlighters in Bambi 01 Nature, Dumbo 02 Peanuts, and Patch 03 Thunderbolt. Once again the Bambi one is my favourite so far, but I haven’t tried the Patch one yet. Let’s move on to Catrice.

Catrice also had three palettes. These are called the Disney Classics Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Palettes, and they came in Marie 010 Je Suis Marie, Lady 020 True Love, and Miss Bunny 030 Flirtatious. My favourite so far is the Miss Bunny one, but I did quite like the Lady one as well.

I also picked up the Catrice Disney Classics Maxi Matt Face & Body Bronzers. There were only two of these in the collection; Marie 010 Ladylike and Lady 020 Be Brave. How adorable is the packaging!

The last two products I purchased from the Catrice collection were the Disney Classics Marie Satin Coconut Lipstick in 010 Pink Bow, and the Catrice Disney Classics Lady Satin Coconut Lipstick in 020 Romance. This is actually such a nice creamy lipstick formula, and they have nice pigmentation too. I’m not a fan of coconut scents, but thankfully the scent on these lipsticks is not overpowering.

All in all, I like this Disney Classics collab collection from Essence and Catrice better than their Disney Princess collab collection.

Purple, but with a wing

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another purple make-up look (of course), but I really like the addition of the green duochrome winged liner.

Collective haul (April)

It’s finally time for my collective haul from April. This haul consists of one clothing item and then the rest is accessories and make-up.

The one clothing item in this haul is this cute floral dress from H&M. I loved these kinds of smock dresses when I was younger, so I got a bit nostalgic when I saw this one and decided to pick it up.

Then I purchased some things from Asos. The two headbands are both by Asos Design, and the earrings are from Madein.

The two most exciting things I purchased from Asos though are the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder and the e.l.f Cosmetics Blemish Fighting Putty primer. I’d been wanting to try both of these products for a while, and as it turns out, I love both products.

The last products in this haul are all purchased from Beauty Bay. I was really intrigued by the Midnight and the Earthy palettes when they launched, so in April I purchased both 42 colour palettes as a set/duo at a really good price. I’m especially fond of the Midnight palette, as you might have noticed from recent make-up looks.

I also purchased the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Beauty Killer 2 palette on sale. I actually like this colour story more than I thought I would.

I also purchased another Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner. This one is in the shade Warm Taupe, and it’s such a great shade.

Pregnancy dressing

Here’s what I wore Monday June 13. I love how this outfit turned out. Dressing is not the easiest thing to do when you’re pregnant, so I’m excited when I put together a fun outfit that is still comfortable.
