Softer orange

Flaming hot

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Red and pink is another great colour combo that I don’t wear often enough. I love how beautifully the red and pink eyeshadows blend together.

Collective beauty haul: high end and drugstore

I have a collective beauty haul to share with you. It’s a mix of high end and drugstore products.

Let’s start with the most exciting product; the Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette. I’ve been wanting this palette since the beginning of the year, and I’m so happy that it’s finally mine. I love Huda Beauty eyeshadows, and these colours are absolutely stunning.

Next up is another palette, but this one is at the opposite end of the price spectrum. I’ve never tried anything from J-Cat Beauty before, but I was intrigued by this pocket size palette. It’s called the J-Cat X-Treme Access Pocket Shadow in Pops of Paparazzi, and as you can see it has a bunch of fun, bright colours. I haven’t tried this palette yet, but I’m excited to give it a go.

And now on to a couple of Fenty Beauty lip products. I’ve only heard good things about the Gloss Bombs, so I purchased a set of two to try them out, and I really like them. The shades are $weet mouth + Fenty glow. I also purchased the new shade of the Stunna Lip paints. I haven’t tried this product out yet, but I thought the shade Underdawg was beautiful. A perfect autumn/winter shade.

I love MAC Fix+ and use it everyday, and I love trying out new scents. I’ve never tried the watermelon scent before, so I had to buy this set of a full size Fix+ Watermelon and a mini regular Fix+.

I’ve also purchased a few things from Wet n Wild. I’ve been wanting to try out the Hello Halo blushlighter for a while, so I got the shade Highlight Bling, which is the lightest one. I’ve also purchased a few more brushes from Wet n Wild. They’re really nice for the affordable price.

And last but not least, I decided to get these three items from the Essence Wanna Bee My Honey? collection. I got the two brushes; and eyeshadow brush and a highlight brush. I also picked up the luminizing primer in 01 You’re Bee-autiful!. How pretty are these items!

Here’s what I wore on my birthday Saturday August 8. It was a very hot day – a little too hot if you ask me, but at least I got to wear this cute floral skirt.

Cremated

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is my first full eye look using the Jeffree Star Cremated palette, and I really like how the look turned out. I’ve also discovered or rediscovered that grey and lilac is a very nice colour combo.

All matte eyes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve done a couple of different pink and orange make-up looks this year, but I think this is my first one with an all matte eye look (apart from the inner corner and browbone highlight). I really like it though.

Summery pink and orange

Here’s what I wore Thursday August 6. As I’ve mentioned before pink and orange has been one of my favourite colour combos this year, and how cute and feminine is this summery pink and orange look!
