Monki and H&M 20% off haul (April 2023)

I have a collective Monki and H&M haul to share with you today. Both brands had a 20% off deal around the same time, so I thought it would be fitting to put all the pieces I picked up into the same haul. Let’s begin with the Monki items.

I love this style of matching suit from Monki. I got several different patterned ones, but this time around a picked up the plain green set, which was on sale and then further 20% off. I wore it last week, and I loved my outfit.

I’ve worn this dress a lot this past summer. I love the style, print, and colours.

Lastly from Monki, I bought these pink, floral platform mules, which are so cute and summery.

Moving on to H&M. I love an oversized T-shirt, especially if it’s in a nice colour with a fun print, and this one ticks all those boxes.

I don’t own a lot of tank tops/vests, but I thought I might get som use out of this pink one, and I have worn it a few times so far.

I picked up three pairs of shoes from H&M, and they’re all very fun. I’ve only worn the beige slingbacks with the butterflies so far, but it’ll be so fun to style the other two pairs as well.

Zalando haul – mainly sale (April/May 2023)

I have a collective Zalando haul to share with you today. Most of the things in this all were on sale. Let’s get started.

First up, dresses. I picked up these two button up dressed from Monki in a sale, and I’ve worn both of them several times already.

I also picked up this skirt from Monki, which has these beautiful bright colours.

The last item I got from Monki is this fun blue oversized T-shirt. I’ve been loving an oversized T-shirt lately, especially paired with flared trousers.

I really like the tights from the brand Calzedonia, and I love that they come in so many different colours. I picked up a new red pair in a bigger size.

The only pair of shoes in this haul are these pink platform boots from Even&Odd. I’m so excited to wear these this autumn and winter.

Lastly, I picked up a handful of make-up products. I’d been wanting to try out the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder for a while, so I picked up the shade Universal in a sale. Then I also got three products from Kiko Milano; the Silky Glow baked bronzer in 01 Warm Sienna, and two of the Green Me eyeliner & khols in 02 Into The Plum and 06 Green Gold.

Here are some closer looks at the first four products.

The very last two products, I purchased, were two lip products from the MAC Pearlescence collection. I got the lipstick in Mauve Over! and the lip pencil in Chicory.

Asos haul – mainly sale (April 2023)

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. I bought most of the things on sale, and there’s a bit of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories and make-up/beauty.

How fun are these jeans! They’re from a brand called Bailey Rose, and I just love the print and colours.

I’ve already posted a look with this dress from COLLUSION. It’s very cute.

These are some pretty high platform heels, and I don’t wear heels this high very often anymore, but these were just too pretty to pass on. They’re from Topshop btw.

This is the kind of heel I wear most often these days. These summery mules are from Monki.

When I saw these Crocs, I just knew I had to have them. I love the retro floral print, and the cute Jibbitz that came with the shoes.

From Crocs I also picked up these colourful flower Jibbitz which are decorating my pink Mega Crush sandals.

I love dinosaurs and thought these rings were cute. They’re a bit small though.

I wear headbands all the time, and both of these have been favourites ever since I got them. The purple one is from Y.A.S, and the white one is from True Decadence.

These hair clips are from DesignB, and I bought them to use, when I’m doing my make-up, but they’re not that great. I’ll just stick to my Minnie Mouse headband.

Let’s move on to make-up. I picked up two foundations from MAC; the Strobe Dewy Skin Tint in Light 1, and the Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over face pen in NC13. None of these are my perfect foundation, but I haven’t used them that much, so maybe I’ll change my mind?

These three Charlotte Tilbury products I love. The Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder in Fair/Medium is a great undereye powder, and the Hollywood Contour Wand in Fair/Medium and the Matte Beauty Blush Wand Pillow Talk in Dream Pop are just great cream cheek products.

I purchased quite a few things from Revolution. I got the Conceal & Define full coverage foundation in F0 to mixed in with other foundations, the IRL Filter Finish soft matte concealer in C2, the Healthy Glow Sculptor cream blush and bronzer in Forgive and Forget Pink from the XXRevolution line, two Lustre Wand shadow sticks in Euphoric Lilac and Sinful Green, and the Ceramide Lip Swirl lip gloss in Cherry Mauve.

From e.l.f. Cosmetics I picked up two more of the No Budge matte shadow sticks, which are some of my favourite shadow sticks. These are in the shades Groovy and Stellar. I also bought another shade of the Luminous Putty blushes. The shade is called St. Barts. And from Rimmel I wanted to try out the Wonder’ Cloud all-day wear soft shadow, and I picked the shade 01 Honey Drop.

Lastly, I got a back-up of my favourite moisturiser from Wishful, which is the Honey Whip Peptide one. I’ve also been wanting to try the Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint blush sticks for quite a while, so I bought the shade Proud Pink, which is super pretty.

Asos 20% off haul (March 2023)

I have an Asos sale haul to share with you today. I love that Asos frequently gives you 20% off everything.

I’ve already featured these Crocs Mega Chush sandals in a 5 favourites post, because I’ve worn them a lot this summer. I actually got these 25% off.

I wore these boots from Public Desire with this outfit, and they’re so fun. Maybe I have to put together a Barbie inspired western look.

Elf is one of my favourite Christmas films, so I just had to get this T-shirt from Asos Design Men.

Let’s move on to make-up. First, I got these three Charlotte Tilbury products; the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow bronzer in Fair, the Hollywood Glow Glide Architect highlighter in Moonlit Glow, and the Matte Beauty Blush Wand Pillow Talk in Pink Pop. I love all three products.

From Revolution I picked up the Pro Goddess Glow Cream contour & bronze in Light and the Pout Balms in Bare Shine and Mocha Shine.

And last, but not least, my most used product from this haul so far; the e.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 sunscreen in Sunbeam. This has been one my go-to primers for a few months now. It’s just so nice.

5 favourites – June

June has come to an end, and so has my maternity leave. Luckily, my July consists of four weeks of holiday, so I still have a bit of time left at home with my baby, before I’m going back to work in August. I’m very excited about spending my holiday with my little family and my extended family. We’ve had very nice weather lately, so hopefully it continues. I had lots of favourites this month, but I managed to pick five, so let’s talk about those.

Pink Crocs Mega Crush sandals: My love for Crocs continues. As per usual, I haven’t hauled most of the stuff in this 5 favourites post, these Crocs sandals included. However, I had to include these, because I’ve worn them a lot. They’re super comfy as Crocs are, and I think they’re pretty cute too.

e.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 sunscreen: I hate the feeling of sunscreen on my body and especially on my face, but this one from e.l.f. Skin, which is also a make-up primer, doesn’t feel like sunscreen at all. It protects the skin, but also leaves the most beautiful glow. I’m a bit obsessed with this product to be honest. It works and looks great with and without make-up on.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur (shade: Translucent): I’ve never tried a Laura Mercier powder I didn’t like, but this one might take the cake. It just blurs the skin in the most beautiful and natural way, and it makes your make-up last all day.

Colourpop Super Shock shadows: I know people have been loving these eyeshadows for years, but I didn’t try Colourpop as a brand until this year. However, these cream-to-powder shadows are stunning, and I often use them as toppers to add a little extra shimmer to my eye looks. The picture shows the ones I’ve worn in June.

KAYALI Eden Juicy Apple | 01 Eau de Parfum: I received the haul that included this perfume right around the time I found out that I was pregnant last year, and I didn’t wear perfume throughout my pregnancy or for the first many months after having my daughter. It’s not until more recently that I started wearing a bit of perfume again, and this one has been my most worn one. It’s the perfect spring and summer scent; it’s just so fresh and fruity.

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.

Zalando sale haul (January 2023)

I have a Zalando sale haul to share with you today. It includes clothes, shoes, and make-up.

Let’s begin with some Christmas jumpers. As I’ve mentioned before, I like to purchase Christmas jumpers from the previous season on sale and wear them the next many Christmas seasons to come. Both of these are from PULL&BEAR, and I’m already excited to wear these in the end of the year.

I’m still breastfeeding my daughter so if I’m going to wear a dress it’s either going to be a button up dress or a wrap style dress. This wrap style dress is from Glamorous, and I really like the mix of the two prints.

As I mentioned just recently, I really like a short sleeve button up shirt (which is also very breatfeeding friendly), and I love the colour of this one from Monki.

I think leopard print never really go out of style, and there’s a 70’s/rock’n’roll vibe to these trousers from Monki.

And now on to shoes. I love a pair of chunky flats, and I felt that I’d been missing a lace up pair like these ones from Monki in my shoe collection.

There was just something about these boots from RAID that drew me in. I love the beige and brown paired with the lilac, and I love the shape of the boots as well.

This style of shoe might seem familiar, and it’s because I own them in both black and in white as well. They’re from Monki, and I’ve worn both my black and the white pair so much, so I had to get the pink version too.

And speaking of pink, I think I have a thing for pink shoes. These sparkly sandals are from Bershka, and they’re giving me all the Barbie vibes.

Lastly, I purchased two make-up products. First, I got the Urban Decay Stoned mini palette, which I don’t think I’ve ever heard of, but I thought it looked pretty. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

And then I also picked up the Makeup Revolution Disney’s Minnie Mouse Steal The Show blusher duo, because how couldn’t I. The packaging is so cute, and both shades look so pretty.

Collective haul (December)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. These are all items I purchased in December, so you’ve seen some of them already.

I only have these two (or three) pieces of clothing to show you, and I’ve already worn them. I purchased the red wrap dress to wear on Christmas Eve and I also needed some bigger tights (for my wider mum body). They’re both from Monki, and I’m wearing them here.

I have two pairs of shoes to share with you as well. I’ve recently discovered that I have a thing for pink shoes, but I mean how cute are those pink satin sling backs from Monki?! And if you think you’ve seen the green boots before on my blog, you’re not completely wrong, because I also own them in blue. They’re from Topshop, and I’ve been loving both the blue and the green pair.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I love statement earrings. This fun mismatched pair is from Pieces.

The rest of the items in this haul are make-up products. It’s not the first face palette I’ve ever picked up from Physicians Formula, but the other one I had, I didn’t love, so I’ve decluttered it from my collection. This one is the Butter Dream Team face palette, which comes with two bronzers, two blushers, a highlighter, and a face powder. I’m really excited to try this palette out.

The other product I picked up from Physicians Formula is the Butter Donut bronzer in Sprinkles. The spinkles are an overspray, but I don’t mind that, and so far I actually quite like this bronzer. And it smells like coffee, which I love (btw, I really dislike the tropical scent of the original Butter bronzers).

I usually like Essence highlighters, so I had to pick up this Christmas themed one. It’s the Cookies For Santa baked highlighter in 01 Baked With Love.

I’m not particularly interesting in watching the new Avatar: The Way of Water film, but I thought this collab with NYX looked interesting. I picked up the Luminescent lip gloss in Ilu-Minate, the Biolume stick in Seagrass, and the Pandoran Paradise cheek palette.

Here’s a closer look at the products. I’ve only worn some of the blushes from the Pandoran Paradise cheek palette so far, and I liked them more than I thought I would.

Lastly, I got two lip products from MAC. I purchased another shade of the Powder Kiss liquid lipcolours. This one is limited edition from the 2022 holiday collection, and it’s called Spiked Cocoa. I also bought another shade of the Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Sticks, and it’s in the shade Rose Mary. I’m excited to wear both of these.

Asos haul – including Black Friday

I have an Asos haul to share with you today. It’s a collective haul including things I purchased in the Black Friday sale.

The only clothing item I purchased was this pair of purple velvet joggers from Topshop. I wore them earlier this week, and they’re so comfortable; perfect to wear at home, when you’re on maternity leave.

I picked up two pairs of shoes. The blue boots are from Topshop as well, and I love them. I’ve already worn them several times, and they’re really comfy. They’re pretty much the perfect everyday boots. The pink metallic chunky Mary Janes are from Asos Design, and they’re so cute. I love a fun, chunky, yet comfy pair of shoes.

I also bought some earrings. All of these are from Asos design, and I just thought they were cute.

Let’s move on the make-up. These first four products are all from NYX. I picked up another Ultimate eye paint. This one is in the shade Calling All Allies, and it’s a pretty periwinkle shade. I also got two more Ultimate Glow Shots liquid eyeshadows. They’re in the shades 01 Blueberry Baller and 02 Kiwi Killa. The last NYX product I decided to try is the Smooth Whip matte lip cream in the shade Pillow Fight.

I’ve been wanting to try the e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip primer for quite a while, and when I saw that it was back in stock on Asos’ website, I immediately put it in my basket. It’s a very effective gripping primer, and I do really like it so far.

Speaking of primers, I’m so glad I picked up the Huda Beauty Glowish Blur Jam silicone-free smoothing primer, because it’s been one of my go-to primers ever since I tried it for the first time. It’s has a very unique, smooth texture, and I love that it feels cooling on the skin.

For once, I purchased a couple of Benefit holiday sets/products. This is the Benefit Blush ‘n Brush Delivery set, which comes with a mini blush in the shade Terra Spark and a brush. How cute is that blush with the little reindeer ‘stamp’.

I also got the other holiday cheek palette from Benefit (I included the other one in this haul). This one is called the Cheek Party Package palette, and it includes two blushes, Shellie and Dandelion, and the Dandelion Twinkle highlighter. It’s just so pretty and super wearable.

The last few products in this haul are from Charlotte Tilbury. This is the Superstar Glow Mini Beauty Light Wand Duo, which comes with the Spotlight highlighter and the Pinkgasm blush. I’m really excited to try these.

And last, but most certainly not least, the Charlotte Tilbury Hypnotising Pop Shots eyeshadow in Cosmic Rocks. This is an expensive eyeshadow, but it’s oh so stunning, and I’m glad to have it in my collection.

5 favourites – December

Happy New Year! Another year has come to an end, and what a year! My biggest dream came true this year, when I became a mother in October, so it’s safe to say that 2022 was my favourite year so far. I’m super excited about 2023; I’m sure it’s going to be a great year as well with many exciting things to come. But before we jump into the new year, let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.

Black velvet trousers (H&M): I haven’t hauled these trousers yet, but I have already featured them in a couple of outfit posts. They’re just super comfy, and you can easily dress them both up and down.

Silver glitter chunky heels (Monki): When I saw these heels from Monki, I just had to have them. They’re the perfect pair of party shoes, and I’ve worn them for all the festive occasions this holiday season.

Huda Beauty Glowish Blur Jam silicone-free smoothing primer: Here’s another item I haven’t hauled yet, but I’ve already worn this primer a lot. It has a very unique texture and it’s cooling on the skin, which I really like. And it really is smoothing as the name suggests.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter (shade: 1 Fair): I’ve been wanting to try this product since I first saw it. I love the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, and this is a great dupe for it. It actually has a little more coverage than the Charlotte Tilbury one, and it just looks stunning on the skin.

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator (shade: 20 Fair): I purchased this foundation a couple of months ago, but I didn’t get into using it until recently, and I’m really enjoying it. It has the perfect amount of coverage and I really like the finish.
