Here’s what I wore Wednesday August 16. The outfit was pretty simple, so I dressed it up with some silver platform sandals.

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.

30
Here’s what I wore on my birthday Tuesday August 8. I didn’t have a big party, but I still wanted to dress up a bit. I turned 30 after all, and I did have my family over for cake and later dinner.

Mothership VI
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t own a lot of Pat McGrath Labs palettes, but I got a very good deal on the Mothership VI palette, which had been on my wishlist for quite a while, so I had to go for it. I love how the eye look turned out. Pat McGrath Labs really does make great quality eyeshadows.

Beach theme
Here’s what I wore Monday August 7. I’d been wanting to wear this beach themed top again and thought I would style it with blue and white to go with the beach theme.

Colourpop Alice in Wonderland + more (April/May 2023)
I have a collective Colourpop haul to share with you today. The haul includes products from the Alice in Wonderland collection, the Lav_ish collection, and more.
Let’s begin with the pieces I picked up from the Alice in Wonderland collection. I had to have the Lost In Wonderland palette and the two pressed powder blushes in Oh Dear! and Silence!, and then I also picked up the Fourth Ray Alice in Wonderland Pure Madness lip mask, because the little mushroom was so cute, and I really love the lip mask from Avatar: The Last Airbender collection.
I think this is the entire Lav_ish collection, which is obviously right up my street, since I love purple so much. The collection consists of the Lav_ish palette, three Super Shock shadows in the shades Angelic, So Surreal and Social Bb, the Super Shock highlighter in Lav Dream, and two So Glassy lip glosses in Cyberspace and Purple Aura. I’m wearing a lot of the products here.
Now, on to some more eye products. I purchased two of the BFF mascaras, and they’re in the shades Brownie Points and Left on Red. I also picked up two of the BFF Crème gel liners, which is a liner formula I already like a lot. I got the shades Prance and Aglow. And then I got the Graphix Ink liner in Drama Free at a discount at the check-out.
I also decided to give the new formulated Shadow Stix a try. I picked the shades in Hey Bestie, Juicy Gossip, Friday Feels, and Plum Tart. I haven’t try the Plum Tart shade yet, but it’s a matte one, so I’m hoping it’s better than the other three (which are shimmery), because I wasn’t very impressed by those.
I love me some Super Shock products, so I picked up two blushes, a highlighter, and a shadow. The blush shades are Georgette and Birthday Suit, the highlighter is in the shade Hippo, and the Super Shock shadow is the shade Rooftop Cocktails.
As a free gift with purchase I got these three velvet scrunchies. I love a good scrunchie, and these are in very nice colours.
Colourful and almost all matte
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. A colourful, almost all matte eye look, which is not something I wear very often. An all matte look I mean. Colourful looks I wear all the time.

Only shadow sticks
Here’s the make-up I wore Friday August 4. I only used shadow sticks for my eye look, because I wanted to do a quick and easy look, but I don’t love how the eye look turned out. I think the lip is fun though.
