Maternity clothes haul

I have a maternity clothes haul to share with you today. Last time I was pregnant, I mostly needed summer and light autumn clothes, but this time I need warmer maternity clothes, so I had to purchase some new pieces.

I picked up three dresses. The burgundy knitted dress is from Only Maternity and is obviously the most wintery dress of the three. The long green dress is from Next Maternity, and the denim shift dress is from H&M MAMA. Both the green dress and the denim dress can be styled up for cold weather.

I got two pairs of trousers from H&M MAMA. You have already seen me wear the dark blue denim jeans a couple of times, and I’ll be posting a look with the khaki green corduroy trousers soon.

The leopard print skirt from H&M MAMA was one of the first maternity pieces I bought this time around, and you’ll see it on in my next outfit post. The velvet skirt with silver sequins is from Mamalicious, and I’m planning on wearing it on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

This burgundy long sleeve shirt is also from H&M MAMA, and I think it will pair well with a lot of the pieces in this haul.

These last two tops are not actually maternity clothes, but I bought them with that in mind. They’re both second hand.

Room for the bump

Here’s what I wore Wednesday December 3. This sweater vest is the only Christmas clothing piece I’ve purchased this year (apart from a pair of socks), and I bought it in a bigger size, so my bump would fit in it.

Collective haul (September 2025)

This is my collective haul from September. It mainly consists of make-up.

I purchased a bunch of products from the Essence Polly Pocket collection. I got the eyeshadow palette in 01 Take Me To Pollyville!, the highlighter in 01 Tiny & Cute, the peptide lip mask in 01 So Much Cute, and all three lip glazes in 01 90’s Girl, 02 Fashion Polly, and 03 Polly2K. The packaging is super cute and very nostalgic to me, but the products themselves are quite disappointing.

Here’s a little random selection of products. I got a back-up of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light, because it’s my favourite powder. I really wanted to try the MAC Skinfinish Lightstruck liquid highlighters, so I picked up the fun green shade in Glacial. And then I needed a new navy mascara, so I got the Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara in 04 Navy, and so far I like it.

One shade of the MAC Skinfinish Lightstruck liquid highlighter wasn’t enough, so I also bought it in Lightscapade.

MAC doesn’t release as many limited edition collections anymore, and as a collector I think it’s a shame. However, they did release a limited edition autumn collection called the Nocturna Collection. I picked up the Eye + Face Palette, the MACximal Silky matte lipstick in Underslept, the Squirt Plump Gloss Stick in Nocturnal Pearl, and the Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Freak. I love all three of these lip formulas.

I really wanted to try the Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix Duos, so I purchased two shades; 1 Interstellar/Mystic Taupe and 5 Astra/Cassiopeia. These are great eyeshadow sticks!

Speaking of great eyeshadow sticks, the Catrice Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow sticks are just as good as the Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix Duos, and they’re only a fraction of the price of the Danessa Myricks Beauty ones. I got two of the shades, and they’re called 010 Lavender Jelly Haze and 020 Pink Jelly Kiss. I also picked up another shade of the Catrice Glass Like dewy lip tints. It’s called 030 Happy Lips, Happy Life.

Now, let’s move on to some indie palettes and a highlighter that I got from Monolith. This first one is the Glaminatrix x Monolith Crown Legacy palette. I love this colour story, and I created this beautiful look with the palette.

This is the Bellabeautébar x Noopur Makeup Coalescence palette. I haven’t gotten around to playing with this one yet, but I’m very excited to hopefully do so soon.

I was really excited to receive the Dede Signature Broken Jewels palette, but sadly, the shade Rose Ruin came ruined (pun intended). The shade Molten Citrine is also a little loose in the palette. I can obviously still use the palette, and I created this look with it.

You know I love green and pink together, so the Gourmande Girls Trapped palette is right up my street. I wore it here.

The highlighter that I got from Monolith is the Dieverune Cosmetics highlighter in April Showers, and it’s so pretty on the skin.

Lastly, I bought these two second hand scarves. I love the colours/patterns.
