First time and last time

DSC_9982DSC_9984

Here’s what I wore Thursday March 5. It was the first time I wore this yellow checked slip dress, but it was also the last time. I never liked the fit on me (it’s tight in the wrong areas), but I compensated for that by wearing an oversized blazer on top. And I do really like this outfit, but I don’t want to only be able to wear this dress with an oversized blazer, so I gave it away to charity.

’80s Barbie doll

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love blue eye make-up and pink lips together. It reminds me of both ’80s make-up and Barbie dolls, and I don’t mind either.

’90s vibe skirt

Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 3. I really like this long denim skirt. It’s definitely got a ’90s vibe to it, so I decided to stick with that vibe and put together this cute, fun outfit.

Mixed beauty haul

DSC_9971

This is a mixed bag of beauty products that I’ve purchased recently, and I thought I would put them together in a haul. I’ve heard so much about the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, so when I found it at my local super market, I decided to give it a go. When I purchased the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette I also got the Velour liquid lipstick in the shade Dominatrix, which has been on my wishlist for so long. The MAC Fix+ is from the new Petal Power collection, and I had to have it, because it’s in the cherry blossom scent, which is my favourite. I’ve been wanting to try the Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation for a while as well, so I picked it up recently, and I’ve already tried it out. I’ll be posting a ‘First impressions’ post on it soon. I love the Essence Shine Last & Go! nail polishes and picked up two more shades; 06 Frosted Kiss and 60 Crazy in Love.

When I went grocery shopping today and saw that Essence had a new limited edition collection called Crystal Dreams, and I decided to pick up two products from the collection; the Crystal Dreams luminizer (shade: 01 Frozen Shine) and the Crystal Dreams highlighter (shade: 01 Love at First Light). All the products in the collection seems to be glowy and iridescent, so I’m excited to try these out.

Plum goodness

Navy and plum

Here’s what I wore Monday March 2. Navy and bright red is one of my absolute favourite colour combos, but navy and plum/burgundy pair really nicely together as well.

All purple

Here’s the make-up I wore Saturday February 29. It’s the first look I’ve created using the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette. I did have to pull in another purple shade from a different Jeffree Star palette, but I still love how the look turned out.

Jeffree Star Blood Lust palette

DSC_9873DSC_9877

Oh my god! When I first saw the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Lust palette I think my heart skipped a beat. Purple has been my favourite colour for as long as I can remember, so I was instantly very intrigued by this palette. The eyeshadow shades are stunning, and the quality of the shades I’ve used so far is the same as the other Jeffree Star palettes; fantastic! The packaging of the palette is so luxurious and so beautiful. You can expect to see lots of eye looks created with this palette from now on.

Glossy red

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t worn lipgloss in over a year (I love my matte lipsticks), but I felt like making this red lip glossy, and I have to say that I quite like the look.
