Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I experiment with different eyeshadow shapes, but for some unknown reason I decided to do a more graphic eyeshadow look this day. It’s not my absolute favourite look, but it was fun trying out something different.

Here’s what I wore Thursday April 28. I really wanted to wear the navy hat that my late grandmother made for my mum many years ago and decided to pair it with plaids, my pink checkered dress, and cute red heels.

I have a small Asos sale haul to share with you today, so let’s get started.
I’d had my eye on the sweater vest from Reclaimed Vintage for a while and decided that it was finally time to get it. Isn’t it just the cutest?
I also picked up another pair of fun tights. These black and white floral ones are from Skinnydip.
I’ve been wanted a beige/brown baker boy hat for a while and found this one from Stradivarius. I think it’ll be perfect for autumn.
I picked up two pairs of fun, colourful earrings from Glamorous. Both pairs are really cute and kind of retro looking.
Lastly, I bought the I Heart Revolution x Disney Fairytale setting powder and lip topper in Mulan. I’ve only worn the powder once, but I really didn’t like it, so I’ve actually already decluttered it from my collection. The gloss is a pretty standard light pink shimmer.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wanted to include all three main colours of my outfit in to my make-up look, and more specifically my eye look, and I think the look turned out quite fun. I actually really like pink and green together.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday April 27. I haven’t hauled this floral wrap dress yet, but I can already say that I really like it, and I had a lot of fun pairing it with lime green and pink items.
(Dress – Monki, top + tights – H&M, headband + boots – Asos Design)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m always a little nervous about doing a black/grey smokey eye, because I’m afraid that my smaller eyes will disappear completely behind the dark colours, but I usually love how the looks turn out, and it’s no exception with this one.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 26. It had been a while since the last time I wore a suit-inspired look, so this day I went for a very casual version, and I quite like how the look turned out.
(Blazer + trousers – second hand, T-shirt – Asos Design, socks – H&M, sneakers – Nike)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s not often that I get to do a monochromatic fuchsia look, but I thought it would be perfect with this particular outfit.

I have a rather large collective Sephora haul to share with you today. This haul is a mix of Valentine’s Day releases, my first Rare Beauty products, and sale items.
Let’s begin with the Valentine’s Day products. This is the Pat McGrath Love & Lust: Gloss Duo. To be honest, I think I purchased this gloss duo exclusively for the cute packaging, because I haven’t worn any of them yet.
I also purchased the Valentine’s exclusive set from Natasha Denona which was the limited edition Mini Crush palette and eyeshadow brush. I’ve expressed my love for Natasha Denona eyeshadow palettes many times before, so of course I had to add this mini to my collection. I wore this palette here.
I also purchased two more products from Natasha Denona. I got the Mini Biba palette and the I Need A Nude lipstick in Charlotte 15% off. Both of these products are so nice.
Here’s a random group of products which I got on sale. I picked up a full size of the Wishful Honey Whip peptide face moisturizer, which I love and use every day. I also picked up another Pat McGrath Skin Fetish: Divine blush, a Milk Makeup matte bronzer travel size stick bronzer, and a Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush matte lipstick.
This is the Pat McGrath blush, and it’s in the shade Cherish. It’s so beautiful!
I’ve heard a lot about this Milk Makeup stick bronzer, so I decided to get the travel size in the shade Baked. It’s super pigmented, so a little goes a loooong way.
The Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush matte lipstick is in the shade Pumpkin Rose, and I’d thought about getting this shade a long time ago, so I decided to finally get it now that it was on sale. It’s such a pretty yellow based orange.
These are my Rare Beauty purchases. I decided to pick up a Soft Pinch Matte liquid blush in the shade Grace and a Soft Pinch Dewy liquid blush in Grateful. They’re super pigmented and I haven’t quite figured out the best way to apply them yet. I also picked up the Positive Light liquid highlighter in Enchant, which is a pretty pink shade.
I’d been wanted to try the Rms Beauty Living Luminizer for quite some time, but it’s really expensive, so when I found it as a part of the Sephora Favourites GOOD FOR Selection, which was on sale and cheaper than the one cream highlighter, I was very excited. I’ve already featured the Living Luminizer in a 5 favourites, and I’m still obsessed with it. The set also included a mini Milk Makeup Hydro Grip primer, which I’d also been wanted to try, the Ren Clean Skincare Mattifying mineral face sunscreen, the Pai Skincare The Impossible Glow bronzing drops, the Sephora Collection Beautiful Lash mascara, and the Sephora Collection Waterproof eye pencil in 01 Fresh Licorice.
Lastly, I got free gift as well. It includes a Sephora shimmery seethrough make-up bag and two mini mascaras; a Sephora Big By Definition mascara and a Pat McGrath Dark Star mascara in Xtreme Black.
