Here’s what I wore Monday February 14. It was the first official day of my winter holiday, and I was going second hand shopping. I was really excited about it, because I hadn’t gone in such a long time, but I didn’t purchase a single thing. That’s the game of second hand shopping; sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don’t.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m feeling 50/50 about this look. It’s not my favourite eye look I’ve ever done, but I love the lip colour.

Last autumn I purchased some items from the Danish website House of Stars. They’re all from either Juvia’s Place or Jeffree Star Cosmetics, and they were all on sale.
Let’s start with Juvia’s Place. I picked up two of the 6-pan palettes, The Berries and The Violets, and the Blushed Volume 2 blush duo.
Here’s a closer look at all three palettes. I really like both The Berries and The Violets palettes; I think the monochromatic colour stories are super pretty. I also like the blush shades.
From Jeffree Star Cosmetics I picked up the Star Ranch eyeshadow palette, the Magic Star concealer in C5, and two Velvet Trap lipsticks.
Here’s what the inside of the Star Ranch palette looks like. I actually quite like this colour story; I think the shades go very well together.
I picked up another Velvet Trap lipstick from the Pink Religion collection. It’s in the shade Pink Religion, and it’s a super fun vibrant hot pink. I also pick up a new The Perfect Red, because my original one broke, and it’s one of my favourite red lipsticks.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The colour scheme of the outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to wear my mustard lipstick again. It’s just such a fun lip colour.

Here’s what I wore Monday February 7. Purple and mustard is not a colour combo, I’ve worn a lot, but I’m really liking it. I guess the two colours work so well together, because purple and yellow are contrasting colours.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another pretty neutral eye look thanks to Natasha Denona.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I know I haven’t hauled it yet, but I wore the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette for the first time this day, and I love how my eye look turned out. The shimmers in this palette are just so stunning and sparkly. One of my favourite shades is Moon Magic.

Here’s what I wore Thursday February 3. I built this look around the sweater vest, which I’d only worn once before and it was quite a while ago. I really like how the look turned out with all the purples and denim.
