Collective MAC haul (May 2023)
I have a collective MAC haul to share with you today. I don’t make as many orders from MAC these days, but back in May I did pick up a handful of things that I thought I would group together in one haul.
I picked up two of the Connect In Colour eye shadow palettes; a 12-pan in Hi-Fi Colour and a 6-pan in Rose Lens.
The colour story of the Hi-Fi Colour palette is quite unique and fun. I wore the palette here.
The Rose Lens palette is more muted, but still pretty. I love the outer packaging of both palettes.
I couldn’t help myself but buy six shades of the Squirt Plumping Gloss Sticks. These are sheer, but have a hint of the colour (at least the shades I’ve worn so far do). I picked up the shades (from left to right) Hazard, Heat Sensor, Jet, Like Squirt, Lower Cut, and Violet Beta. I really like the formula and look of these.
I was so excited to see MAC launching new bronzers. This is the Skinfinish Sunstruck Matte bronzer in the shade Matte Light Rosy. I love that they come in both rosy and golden versions.
Lastly, I bought the new Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless loose powder in Light and the Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer foundation in W0. So far I like both of these products, however, the foundation shade is a little light on me.
Multichrome creasing
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I loved how my make-up looked right after application, however, the multichrome eyeshadow I wore on the inner part of my lids creased a lot. I guess that’s just how it is sometimes, when you have hooded eyelids.

Slightly more muted colours
Here’s what I wore Tuesday August 22. An outfit with a slightly more muted colour scheme than what I usually wear, but I still like it.

Shorts weather
Here’s what I wore Sunday August 20. It was a lovely, warm summer’s day, so it was the perfect opportunity to wear my new denim shorts.

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.
After 7-8 hours
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As you can probably tell, this is not what my make-up looked like right after application. I forgot to take pictures in the morning when my make-up was fresh, so instead I took these pictures after 7-8 hours of wear with no touch ups. The eyeshadow has creased a bit, but I have hooded eyelids, so that’s no surprise, and my lipstick has worn of a little bit, but I really don’t think it’s that bad. My skin was looking shiny, but I wasn’t wearing the most mattifying and long-wearing powder that day, so it was no surprise either. All in all, I think my make-up could have looked worse.
