Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 13. I always love wearing this dress that my grandmother made and used to wear many years ago. It’s very special to me because of that.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I was wearing the Essence I Like To Mauve, It Mauve It! eyeshadow palette, and as you can see, the pigmentation is really nice. I wear a lot of purple eyeshadows, but rarely more muted, mauve purples, but I think the look turned out very pretty.

Here’s what I wore Friday October 8. I hadn’t worn my matching purple corduroy set in a while, so it was fun styling it again.

Here’s what I wore Thursday October 7. How cool is this matching ombré shirt and jeans set! I decided to style it with a dark burgundy leather jacket and my beloved lime green leather boots, and I just love how this whole look turned out.

February always go by so quickly. Probably due to the fact that it’s the shortest month, but also because I have a week long holiday in February, which is always lovely. February was a month of ups and downs, but the things in this post is definitely worth talking about, so let’s do just that.
NABLA Skin Bronzing (shade: Ambra): I haven’t hauled this bronzer yet, but I have featured it in a couple of make-up posts. This bronzer has a slight glow or sheen to it, and I’ve been really liking that in a bronzer. The shade of this is also beautiful.
Clinique Cheek Pop Pearl blushes: I love the original Clinique Cheek Pop blushes, but I think I might love the new pearl version even more. I first purchased the shade 05 Ruby Pop (top left corner), and I’ve worn that shade so much these past four months or so. Then I decided to pick up three more shades, and they’re just as stunning.
Essie nail lacquers: I always wear nail polish, and of course I’ve known about Essie, but I’d only tried a few polishes from the brand many years ago. However, recently I’ve been purchasing a handful of Essie nail lacquers, as they’re called, and I’ve been loving every single one. I don’t think I’ve worn another brand throughout February. My favourite shades have been the bright red called Bunches Of Love (I’m wearing that one right now, but I’ve also worn it before), the pink with a gold shift called One Way For One, and the super sparkly orange one called Cupid’s Beau.
Pam & Tommy (TV series): I have both a TV series favourite and a film favourite this month. Let’s start with the series. As soon as I first saw the posters for this series, I was intrigued. At first glance, I thought that Lily James was actually Pamela Anderson until I took at closer look. The costume designs of this series are incredible. I was born in the early 90’s so I don’t remember the incident with the tape, but I remember some of the 90’s in generel, and the mid-90’s are represented so well. I’ve also found it really interesting to learn about this incident and the lives of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee at this time, so I find this series to be an overall enjoyable watch.
Spiderman: No Way Home (film): I’m a huge Spiderman fan, so I’ve been wanting to watch this film ever since it released. However, the pandemic put a stop to that for a while, but I finally got to watch it during my holiday. If you love the previous Spiderman film series with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as much as I do, you’ll love this one.
My last haul was an all Catrice haul, and this haul consists mainly of Essence products. What can I say, I just really like Essence and Catrice.
Once again I’ve tried to group the products together, and let’s start with a face mist and a primer. I picked up the Hello, Good Stuff! Herbal face mist and the Prime + Studio Multi-Action + Protecting primer. I loved the Hello, Good Stuff! 3in1 face mist with watermelon extract, and I’ve used it all up, so I’m excited to try this version. And I’ve liked most of the Prime + Studio primers, so I decided to give this one a go as well. I haven’t tried it enough times to form a proper opinion on it yet though.
Next, let’s talk brows and eyes. I picked up the Brow Styling Soap Set, which comes with a little spoolie, and I also picked up the Soft Touch eyeshadow in 01 The One. My favourite eyeshadow to use to set my eye base/primer is the Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants, but it’s been discontinued, so I’m looking for an alternative for when I’ve used that one up. This Soft Touch eyeshadow is a bit more white than I would like, but I’m of course going to give it a go.
Speaking of eyeshadow I’ve been seeing these little 6-pan palettes everywhere online, and I think they’re so cute; I love the colour stories and the sleek packaging. I picked up the following three palettes; Ice, Ice Baby!, Dancing Green, and I Like To Mauve, It Mauve It!
Here’s what the palettes look like on the inside. I’ve done looks with all of them, and I think all looks turned out very pretty.
And now on to lips. I picked up three lip products. I got the Cool Collagen plumping lipstick in the shade 201 My Dream, the Hydrating Nude lipstick in the shade 301 Romantic, and the Peppermint Glow lip balm. I haven’t tried the lip balm yet, but both lipsticks were quite pretty.
The last two products in this haul are not from Essence, but from L’Oréal, and they’re both back-ups of two of my favourite base products; the L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation in 015 Porcelain and the L’Oréal Infallible More Than Concealer in 322 Ivory.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t wear cool-toned neutral eye looks very often these days, but it seemed fitting for this outfit, and I do like how my eye make-up turned out.
(Base: primer – Maybelline Fit Me Luminous + Smooth primer, foundation – L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (shade: 015 Porcelain), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – MAC Studio Fix Sculpt And Shape contour palette Light/Medium (shade: Emphasize) + Dior Backstage Face & Body Powder-No-Powder in 0 Neutral.

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: MAC Redd lip pencil + MAC De Vil In The Details lipstick)
Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 6. I actually built my outfit around the sneakers, which I’ll feature in a haul soon. These pictures don’t really show how awesome those sneakers really are, but my T-shirt gives you a hint to why:)
