I’ve had a bit of a tough start to 2024, and March has been another month of ups and downs. I hope that things will get better soon. I’m also hoping for warmer weather soon; March was cold and not very springlike. Anyways, here are my March 5 favourites.
Nike Zoom Air Fire sneakers: I purchased these sneakers back in July last year, and they’re been a favourite ever since, so I thought it was about time that they got a shout out.
Rare Beauty Positive Light tinted moisturizer (shade: 14W): My skin has been looking good lately, so I’ve opted for a skin tint or light coverage foundation, and this one from Rare Beauty has been my go-to. It has the perfect amount of coverage for what I’m liking at the moment, and the finish is beautiful.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix live action TV series): I love the original Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon, so I was excited to watch the live action version. Nothing can ever beat the original series, but I really enjoyed this one for what it is.
Fool Me Once (TV series): Another Netflix series I’ve watched and really enjoyed this past month is Fool Me Once. I really enjoy crime/thriller/drama series, and this one is worth a watch.
Diamond art: I’ve been needing some distraction, so I’ve taking up a new hobby; Diamond art. It’s like paint by numbers, but for adults, and that resonates with me.
I have a large collective haul to share with you today. It consists of shoes, clothes, accessories, and make-up.
I featured these Crocs Classic Crush boots in my December favourites post, and I’ve continued to wear them a lot. I bought them on sale on the H&M app.
I love a boot with a chunky heel and a platform, and these pink suede ones from Asos Design are really nice.
This red checkered suit from Asos Design came in very handy during the holiday season. I wore it here and here.
This red bow hair clip from H&M was a stable Christmas accessory for me, and I still love it and will continue to wear it.
This silver ring is called the Drippy V-Ring from Danish jewellery designer Jane Kønig. I wear it pretty much every day.
In my last haul, I featured the other shade of the Catrice METAFACE nail lacquers, but I wanted this lighter shade as well called C02 Cyber Beauty.
I was curious to try the new Clarins Joli Rouge lipsticks, so I picked up the satin lipstick in 742 Joli Rouge and the velvet matte lipstick in 754V Deep Red. Both are very pretty red shades, and the packaging is stunning.
I also got some stuff from Fenty Beauty. I purchased another shade of the Cheeks Out Freestyle cream blushes (shade: Pinky Promise 13), the limited edition Gloss Bomb Crystal Holographic lip luminizer in Holla’Gram, and the Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth skin tint stick in shade 02.
I picked up one more product from Fenty Beauty from another website, and it’s the Fenty Icon Semi Matte refillable lipstick set which was a limited edition holiday release. The lipstick shade is called Sorta Single. I also purchased two products from Rare Beauty; another Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Strong) and another Soft Pinch tinted lip oil (shade: Affection).
From MAC I got one of the new at the time Locked Kiss 24hr lipsticks, and I picked a beautiful warm tomato red called Gutsy. I received the Made To Wow Brow Kit Auburn as a free gift with purchase. The kit includes a Brow Set Clear and a Brows Styler in Penny, which is not my shade.
You know I love Natasha Denona eyeshadows, and I was very excited to see a blue palette from the brand. This is the Mini Triochrome, and I think it’s very pretty. I’m wearing it here.
I’ve got two more palettes to share with you, and I’m really excited about both. First, I had to have the Blend Bunny Cosmetics Sickly Sweet palette, and I have to say that it’s pretty much the perfect pastel palette. I used it to create this eye look.
The other indie palette that I also had to have was the Cosmic Brushes/Beauty Gothic palette. I wore this on New Year’s Eve, and it was beautiful.
The very last thing in this haul is the Sigma Dry’n Shape Tower Face & Eyes, which is described as a stackable brush care station, so a tower to hold your brushes after you’ve cleaned them. I’ve used it once, and it worked pretty well.
I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes a mix of everything.
I already own this type of dress from Monki in another pattern, but it’s just such a comfortable dress to wear in the summer.
These pastel Jeffrey Campbell loafers were a bit of a splurge, but I’d been eyeing them for so long, and I got a Zalando gift card for my birthday last year, so I decided to finally get them. I’m wearing them here and here.
You know I love Crocs, and I love to accessorise them with fun Jibbitz, so I picked up these three 5-packs in the sale.
The only thing I picked up from the Revolution x Grease collection was the It’s The Word shadow palette. I really like the colour story, and it actually performed quite well. I’m wearing it here.
BH Cosmetics is sadly not the great brand that it used to be, but I still decided to try out a couple of their newer products; the Summer Heat cream bronzer in Light and the Juicy Gossip lip oil in Mango. Both products are nice, but not my absolute favourites.
I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. It includes both clothes, shoes, and make-up.
I loved the Barbie movie and GAP made this cute collab with Barbie, so I picked up the Ken T-shirt.
I wore this retro looking floral shirt here. It’s from Monki, and it was on sale.
The chunky Mary Janes from Monki are some of my favourite heels, so of course I got the burgundy version as well.
I haven’t had a pair of creepers in my shoe collection for a while, and I loved these platform ones with the cute flowers on them. They’re from Lamoda, and they were on sale.
I’m pretty sure these Nike Zoom Air Fire sneakers have been featured on the blog several times. These are really comfortable, and I love the pops of primary colours.
I don’t purchase a lot from Revolution these days, but I thought these Finding Nemo products looked cute. The colour story of the palette is really pretty, and the quality was decent. I haven’t tried the yellowy lip oil yet, but the pink was completely clear and nothing special, so I’ve decluttered that one already.
And of course I had to pick up a handful of products from the NYX and Barbie collab. I got the mini palette in Turn Up The Ken-ergy, the Jumbo eye pencil kit, and the two Smooth Whip lip creams in Dreamhouse Pink and Perfect Day Pink.
The last three products I purchased were the Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascara in 10 Turquoise and two of the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink lipsticks. They’re in the shades 445 Energizer and 460 Optimist.
Now that I’ve posted all of my hauls including Christmassy products, I’m going to pick up where I left off with a Monki sale haul from all the way back in July.
I love a bit of gingham in spring and summer, and this pink wrap dress is just so cute.
I actually think the pink gingham dress would look nice styled with this checkered sweater vest.
I also picked up this pastel coloured shirt, which I thought might be a nice layering piece.
Yes, I bought another one of those oversized matching suits from Monki which I already own in several different colours and prints, but I just love them all.
Ans yes, I also purchased the red pair of the chunky Mary Janes I own in so many colours, because I love these shoes.
I also had to have these chunky, purple sandals with the same type of heel as the Mary Janes, because I love that chunky heel, and I love everything purple.
I don’t buy a lot of black things anymore, but I really liked the look of these little black mules with the big rosettes.
I don’t go for pointed toe shoes as often these days, but there was just something about these turquoise sling backs.
And lastly, I jumped on the ballerina flats train with this white pair. These must be the flattest shoes I own, but they’re actually really cute.
Happy New Year! It’s the last day of 2023 and just as every other year, it feels like this year just flew by. I’d heard that it feels like time goes by faster after you’ve had children, and I agree. The last couple of months have been a little tough, but besides that most of my year was great. I’m hoping for many good days and experiences in 2024, so before we say hello to the new year, let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.
Pink Crocs Classic Crush boots: December has been a month snow, cold weather, and rain, so I’m so glad I purchased these Crocs boots back in October, because I’ve worn them so much.
Red bow hair clip (H&M): I’ve been loving the hair bow trend this December. This red hair clip version has been my favourite hair accessory to pair with my Christmas outfits.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin serum skin tint (shade: 2): I haven’t hauled this skin tint yet, but I’ve already worn it quite a bit, because I really enjoy this product. 2023 has been the year of skin tints and light coverage foundations for me, and this Danessa Myricks one is a great one, and I’m excited to continue to wear it.
Natasha Denona I Need A Rouge lip styletto & lip crayon in Gigi: I’ve loved these lip products ever since I purchased them earlier in the year, but they’re been such a great red Christmas lip duo. I’ve also worn the lip crayon with other red lipsticks this past month.
Love Actually In Concert: In the middle of December I watched Love Actually In Concert with one of my sisters, and it was incredible. I love Love Actually, and I watch it every Christmas season, and watching it with an orchestra playing all of the music in the film was so beautiful and a completely new watching experience.
Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrated Christmas today. In Denmark, we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, and I had a lovely day and evening yesterday. Today, I have a H&M and Zalando Cyber Monday haul to share with you.
I picked up two blazers from H&M; an olive green one and a zebra print one. I love blazers, and I’m always up for adding new ones to my wardrobe.
Another style of clothing that I have a lot of in my wardrobe are fitted roll neck tops, and I thought this white and black leopard print one would be a great layering piece.
You know how much I love Disney and Mickey Mouse, so I just had to have this bag.
I purchased two pairs of shoes in the H&M Cyber Monday sale. The khaki green platform loafers had been on my wishlist for a while, and they’re even nicer in real life. And the black boots were an impulse buy, but they’re just so pretty.
The only items I bought from Zalando were these red holiday sweater classic Crocs and a Tis The Season 5 pack Jibbitz. I already had a 5 pack of some other Christmas Jibbitz, so I added both packs to these super Christmassy Crocs.
I’m going to share my 2023 collective Black Friday haul with you today. It consists of one piece of clothing, three pairs of shoes, one hair accessory, and a bunch of beauty items.
The only piece of clothing that I purchased (and kept) is this stunning, purple blazer from the brand Crãs. It’s a Danish brand and they create really beautiful, colourful pieces. I can’t wait to style and wear this blazer!
It’s been a while since I last purchased a pair of Nike Cortez sneakers. They’re one of my favourite styles when it comes to sneakers, and I really liked this more neutral version with brown details.
I love Monki shoes, and I’ve had my eye on these orange boots for a while, so I had to get them in a Black Friday sale.
My Crocs obsession might be getting a bit out of hand, but I just had to have these Siren Chain Crocs in the dark cherry colour. I wore them here, and I think they’re so fun!
You know I love a head band, and this multi-coloured pearl one from Pieces really spoke to me.
The only skincare product I purchased was the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72-Hour Lipid-Replenishing Hydrating face cream, which I got 50% off.
I picked up these three make-up products in the Zalando Black Friday sale.
This is the NYX Ultimate Flamingo Frost shadow palette, and I think it’s a fun take on a Christmas palette. The quality of the shadows was quite nice as well.
This is the Kiko Milano Glow Fusion Intense powder highlighter in 01 Champagne and the 3INA The Color lip glow in 371. Both products look very pretty.
I bought two more products from this year’s holiday collection from MAC. I got the Fizzy Feels lip balm in Shiver Shimmy and the Sparkler eyeshadow in Jingle Tingle.
I got these free gifts with my MAC order.
Lastly, I made an order from Monolith during their Black Friday sale. Monolith is a great place to purchase indie make-up if you live in Europe. The first palette I picked up was the Bellabeautébar Smokey Glam palette. I’ve heard such great things about this brand, so I’m really excited to try out this palette.
Another brand I’ve been wanting to try is Fantasy Cosmetica, so I picked up their Warlock palette. I just love this unique colour story.
Lastly, I purchased the Unearthly Cosmetics Devour Halloween collection, which I’ve been wanting ever since it launched. It includes an eyeshadow palette, a blush-highlighter duo, two lipglosses, three satin liquid lipsticks, and a lip oil.
This is the stunning colour story of the Devour palette. This is the perfect autumn/winter colour story. I even think that I could create a Christmas look with this palette.
How fun and pretty are the shades in the Devour blush-highlighter duo!
These are the two lipglosses and the lip oil. The shades are (from left to right) Havoc, Predator, and Ruin. So pretty!
And these are the three satin liquid lipsticks. The shades are (from left to right) Destroy, Yummy, and Chomp. I can’t wait to wear these.
I have a collective haul to share with you today. It consists of make-up, clothes, shoes, and one accessory. Let’s begin with the make-up for once.
Let’s just begin with the most exciting item in this haul, at least according to me; the Natasha Denona Yucca palette. This colour story is so stunning! I wore it here, and as I wrote in that post, this will probably become one my favourite Natasha Denona palettes.
I still really like Jeffree Star Cosmetics as a brand, and I especially like the eyeshadow palettes and lip products, so I picked up the Cotton Candy Queen palette and the Hydrating Glitz tinted lip balm in Snow Ball Me. I’m wearing the palette here.
I really like the about-face Cheek Freak Blush Balms, so I purchased two more shades. They’re called Laid and Get Some, and they’re both super pretty.
The last make-up product in this haul is the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER color corrector in Pink Pomelo. I haven’t used it enough times to really know how I feel about it yet.
Let’s move on to clothes. I’m a 90’s child, so I felt very nostalgic when I saw this Spice Girls T-shirt at Asos. It’s from Asos Design, and I got it 20% off.
The next five items I got in a Monki sale. I love a good button up dress, and I loved the colours and print on this one.
This is just a white T-shirt with a pretty flower print, but I like it a lot, and I’ve worn it quite a few times.
I love Monki shoes and picked up three pairs in the sale. I’ve worn and posted outfits with all three pairs this past summer.
Last pair of shoes are these glittery classic platform Crocs, which I got 70% off (yes, you read that correctly) at Zalando. Both of my sisters bought them as well, so we have sister shoes:)
I don’t buy or wear a lot of scarves these days, but I loved the colours and the Mickey Mouse print of this one from Even&Odd, which I also picked up in a Zalando sale. And that’s the end of this haul.
I have an Asos haul to share with you today. Asos often has 20% off everything deals, and sometimes I get a bunch of things from my wish list. These are items I picked up back in May.
I already owned this style of Mary Janes from Koi Footwear in purple, but I just thought these denim ones with the bear on them were so cute, so I had to get those as well.
My hair is long and pretty thick, so I need extra big hair clips like this one from DesignB to hold it all in place.
I had another shade of the Iconic London Super Smoother blurring skin tint, but it was too dark on me, so I picked up the shade Cool Fair instead. It actually might be a little too light on me, but it works better than the first shade I got. I love the original e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo concealer, and I’d been wanting to try the hydrating version as well. I got the shade Fair Beige, and I do like this version too.
Lastly, I puchased three products from Huda Beauty. I got another shade of the Easy Bake loose baking & setting powder. It’s the pink shade called Cherry Blossom Cake. I also picked up two of the Lip Blush creamy lip & cheek stains. They’re in the shades Coral Kiss and Rosy Kiss.
