Here’s what I wore Tuesday January 18. I’ve worn a similar outfit to this before, but I guess I just like the post horseback riding vibes without actually having to go horseback riding.

Today’s post is a beauty haul consisting of products from, Anastasia Beverly Hills, NYX, Essie and KVD Beauty.
Let’s start with ABH and NYX. From ABH I picked up the Magic Touch concealer in 1, which is too light, but I still use it, because I can mix it with other concealers. I also picked up the ABH Stick Blush in Latte. From NYX I got the High Definition finishing powder in Banana and the Born To Glow Radiant concealer in Pale. I’ve already decluttered the powder, because it was a little too dark on me, but I like the concealer.
I also purchased two Essie nail lacquers in the shades 666 Sexy Divide and 773 Feelin’ Just Lime. The clear mini is a speed setter, and it was a gift with purchase.
From KVD Beauty I finally picked up three of the Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadows, which I’d been wanting to try for a while. I chose the shades Hail Surge, Thundercloud, and Electro Bolt. These are super glittery and so pretty.
The last item was also a free gift with purchase. This is the KVD Beauty Edge Of Reality palette, which I’d actually considered buying before, but never did, so I was excited to receive as a free gift. I haven’t used it that much yet, but the shimmer shades are really pretty.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I could have gone for a way brighter and more colourful make-up look to go with my outfit, but instead I decided to let the outfit do most of the talking and went for a neutral and pink make-up look.

Here’s what I wore Thursday January 14. You’ve probably noticed how much I love pink and orange together, and I also really like the addition of brown to this look.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I almost never wear winged liner, but I thought this duochrome one was a fun addition to the eye look. Also, I know I wore a hat in my outfit pictures, but it was just easier for me to wear a headband to work that day, even though I prefer the hat with the outfit.

I have a small The Body Shop haul to share with you today. I purchased these product back in October 2021, and to be honest I actually haven’t used any of them yet, because I have so many other products to use up first.
First off, I purchased one of the 2021 holiday gift sets. This is the Kindness & Pears one, and I thought I would like this one, because The Body Shop had a pear scented holiday kit/collection a few years back that I really liked. This set comes with a shower gel, a body butter, a body yogurt (one of my favourite products from The Body Shop), and a hand cream.
I also picked up a shower cream and a hand cream in the Vanilla Pumpkin scent and a Tea Tree All-In-One Stick. I really like the Tea Tree line in generel.
Lastly, I got this Himalayan Charcoal, Chinese Ginseng & Rice, and British Rose Face Mask Kit, which I’m excited to try one day.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. How stunning is this purple eyelook?! I’m wore the Anastasia Beverly Hills NORVINA pro pigment palette vol. 5 (which I haven’t hauled yet) for the first time. I’d heard so many great things about this palette, and so far I love it too.
