Here’s what I wore Thursday April 27. I really wanted to wear this shirt and decided to do a simple styling of it to keep the shirt the main focal point of the look.

Asos 20% off + sale haul (January 2023)
I have an Asos haul to share with you today. All of these items were on sale, and there’s a mix of clothes, accessories, and make-up. Let’s begin with clothes.
I love a good sweater vest, and I’d had my eye on this one from Asos Design Men. I love a Disney print, and I think the green and blue looks great together.
You can never go wrong with a colourful T-shirt. This one is from JJXX.
Moving on to accessories. Topshop makes great shoes and great bags, and this multicoloured holographic bag is no exception.
I love a hat even though I don’t wear them all the time. This one from Asos Design, and I have actually already worn it. I wore it here.
This might be a slightly boring purchase, but man, I’ve worn this big black hair clip from Asos Design a lot!
Let’s just talk about all the jewellery pieces at once. I thought the Halloween selection from Asos Design was fun, and they were very heavily discounted. The golden, pearly earrings from SVNX are super pretty, and the little star and moon hoops with amethysts from Kingsley Ryan has come in very handy. The simple braided silver ring is also from Kingsley Ryan.
And now let’s move on to make-up. I picked up another e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge shadow stick, and this one is in the shade Blue Steel. I’d heard great things about the Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer, so I picked it up in the shade Light. I’d also heard good things about the Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint, however, the shade I picked up, which is Warm Fair, is not a great match for me.
How stunning is this Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying face palette – Light/ Medium! I’d been wanting it for a while, so I was very happy to get it on sale.
Lastly, I got two lip products from the Valentine’s Day launch from MAC. I picked up the Lady Danger lipstick, which is a shade I’ve always wanted to try, and it is stunning. I also picked up the Glow Play lip balm in Bouncing Bloom.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I didn’t have a ton of time to do my make-up that day, but even though this look is quite simple, I still think it turned out nice.

Great for print mixing
Here’s what I wore Friday April 21. Stripes and checkered prints are great for print mixing, especially when they’re in the same colour scheme.

Collective Cocopanda haul (January 2023)
I have a collective Cocopanda affordable beauty haul to share with you today. The vast majority of the products are from Catrice and NYX. Let’s begin with the Catrice stuff.
I was very excited to try the newest foundation from Catrice. It’s called the Nude Drop Tinted Serum foundation, and I got the shade 004N. So far I really like it. I also picked up the Cheek Lover marbled blush in 010 Dahlia Blossom and two of the Plump It Up Lip Boosters in 030 Illusion Of Perfection and 070 Fake It Till You Make It.
Here’s a closer look at the blush. It’s a super pretty, glowy blush.
And here’s a close up of the Plump It Up Lip Boosters in 030 Illusion Of Perfection and 070 Fake It Till You Make It; such fun shades.
The only product I purchased that is neither Catrice nor NYX is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, which is still my go-to make-up remover.
I got the Catrice Clean ID Transparent brow fixing gel as a free gift with my Catrice order.
Now, let’s move on to the products I purchased from NYX. I got the NYX Bare With Me Blur Tint foundation in the shade 02 Fair, which is actually a little light on me. Then I also picked up three of the Fat Oil Lip Drips and three of the Smooth Whip matte lip creams.
The Fat Oil Lip Drips are in the shades 04 Thats Chic, 05 Newsfeed, and 07 Scrollin. I haven’t worn all the shades yet, but I really like the formula.
The shades of the Smooth Whip matte lip creams are 20 Pom Pom, 19 Snuggle Sesh, and 16 Feelings. I haven’t tried any of these yet, but the colours are so fun.
Simple purple
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know how much I love a purple eye look, and this is quite the simple one, however, still pretty.
