I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, one piece of clothing, and a bunch of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty bits.

I purchased two of the limited edition summer scents from Sol de Janeiro; Dança Mística and Água Mística. Dança Mística is by far my favourite. It might even be my favourite Sol de Janeiro scent that I own, and I own quite a lot of them. Some of the notes are purple fig, champagne accord, lily of the valley, warm vanilla, and sandalwood. It’s really unique, but so good. More people would probably like Água Mística, which has notes like neroli water, tangerine, white pineapple, peony, and salty skin accord. I don’t like the pineapple, which is strong to my nose, but if you like a fresh, tropical scent, you would probably like Água Mística.

I decided to try the TirTir Mask Fit Aura mini cushion foundation in 13N Fair Ivory, but even though this shade works for me in the red version, I think it’s a little light on me in this aura version.

I love the NYX Buttermelt highlighters. I got the shades 15 U Butta Work, 20 Butta Mint, and 40 No 1 Butta. They’re so pretty, and I may or may not have picked up a couple more shades since:)

Here’s a couple other make-up bits, I picked up. I’d been wanting to try the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint, so I picked up shade 2 in a sale, and I love it! It’s such a good skin tint. I also really enjoy the Fenty Beauty Suede powder blushes, so I got another shimmer shade called Bubbleband$ 11.

Speaking of Fenty Beauty, I really wanted to get my hands on the Hot Cheeks highlighting blushes in Cherry Pie’d and Cherry Pop, and they’re so pretty.

The only piece of clothing in this haul is this stripy skirt from Mango, which I got on sale. Now, let’s move on to shoes.

You know I have an obsession with Crocs, and I just fell in love with these Mary Janes the second I saw them. And I love this bright red colour.

I also picked up these classic Crocs with floral cut-outs in a cute pale green colour, and I’ve worn them quite a bit this summer.

And the last pair of Crocs in this haul is this pair of Sirens in the dark purple colour. They’re just so good!

Oh, and I also picked this 5 pc of bow Jibbitz.

I don’t know if I’m ever actually going to wear these boots, but they’re just so fun. They’re from the Koi Footwear x The Rocky Horror Picture Show collection. I mean, just look at that lipstick heel!

On the contrary, here’s a pair of boots I think I’ll get a lot of use out of. These are the Jeffrey Campbell Prepster boots, and they’re the boot version of my beloved pastel loafers from Jeffrey Campbell.

Lastly, I got two pairs of pretty kitten heels. The purple suede ones are from Alma en Pena, and the dark blue ones with the flowers are from Blue by Betsey Johnson, and I wore those at my cousin’s wedding back in June.

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes mostly make-up, but also some accessories, clothes, and a pair of shoes.

For once I only picked up two products from the MAC holiday 2024 collection. The collection is called Gift Of Gold, and I was very excited to see MAC launch a new type of blush. I got the Skinfinish Metallic cream blush in the shade Priceless Purple, which is such a fun shade. I also bought one of the frost lipsticks in the shade Regal Red, which is a great Christmas lipstick shade.

I received a Holiday Gift bag and a Macximal silky matte lipstick in Whirl with my MAC order.

Ever since I saw the Dior Forever liquid sequin liquid lipsticks launch around Christmas time in 2023, I’d been wanting to try one, but they sold out so quickly. So I was so excited to see them come back for the holidays in 2024, and I picked up the red shade in 999.

Of course I had to pick up the Natasha Denona Roxa palette. I love Natasha Denona’s eyeshadow formulas, and purple is my favourite colour, so this was a no-brainer purchase for me.

I also bought three indie palettes from Monolith. The first one is the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Underland palette. It has this dark and moody colour story, which is fun and different.

The Vamp palette from Bellabeautébar was their Halloween release for 2024, and it was not the only Halloween palette release with a purple and red colour story, and I’m not mad about it. Purple and red is actually a bit of an underrated colour story.

This is the Harvest of Souls palette from Fantasy Cosmetica, and it’s the biggest palette that they’ve released to date. It’s absolutely stunning. Just look at that colour story.

I love Cosmic Brushes, and for Halloween 2024 they launched their first mystery box. The box includes a palette, three cream blushes, and three lipsticks. If you haven’t bought it, but is planning to do so, here’s your spoiler alert.

The Sinister palette is another palette with a purple and red colour story, which is really fun and inspiring.

The cream blushes from Cosmic Brushes are called Blush Butter and come in three fun shades in this box (from left to right); Got Chills, Dazed, and Heroine.

The three lipsticks are the Velvet matte lipsticks in the shades Salem, Nancy, and Clarice. Very interesting shades, and I like the formula.

I picked up three bow accessories; two brooches from Maanesten (the style is called Memoru) and a leopard print hair clip from Accessorize.

I’ve mentioned before that I love pink and red together, and that was apparently very obvious back in October, when I purchased a floral dress from Asos Design, a stripy dress from Monki, and an oversized T-shirt from JJXX in that colour combo.

Lastly, I found these purple suede boots from Tamaris 60% off in a department store, and I thought they were a great pair of comfy, colourful boots that would go with a lot of different looks.
