Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This look is softer and more toned down than my usual make-up looks, but I think it looks pretty and it works well with my very colourful outfit.

Collective MAC haul (February 2025)

I have a collective MAC haul to share with you today. It includes limited edition products, new at the time products, and some free gifts.

Let’s begin with the products I got from the MAC To The Future collection. I picked up the lip pencil in Hodgepodge, the Lustreglass lipstick in Rosy Thoughts, and the two Skinfinish cream blushes in Sonic and Ginger, Please!.

The lip pencil shade Hodgepodge is a released shade and I think the Rosy Thoughts lipstick shade is limited edition. I was most excited about the Skinfinish cream blushes, and they’re quite nice.

I also got the Luxe Luck Dazzleshadow liquid in Magic Scale on sale. The Luxe Luck collection launched in the beginning of the year, and I’m pretty sure it was their Lunar New Year collection. I’m quite impressed by this liquid eyeshadow formula. It lasted a very long time, and it didn’t crease.

I had to try the new at the time Strobe Beam liquid blushes, and I picked up the following three shades: Nitelite, Magic Aura, and Good Vibes. These are very pretty, glowy blushes.

Lastly, I got two gifts with my purchases. The first gift included a mini MACStack mascara, a Fix+ Original (30 ml), and a Prep+Prime Lip. I love all three of these products, so this was a great gift. The second gift included a Lipglass clear, an Extended Play Giga Black Lash mascara, and a 252S large shader brush. Also a great gift with purchase.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 13. It was another somewhat warm day, but as you’ll see in my upcoming outfit posts, the weather became a bit cooler again, before the actual hot, summer weather came along.

Lyko haul (February 2025)

I have a Lyko haul to share with you today. The majority of the haul are Catrice products, but I also got a couple of NYX blushes.

Let’s begin with this random little selection of Catrice products. I got the Catrice Arctic Illusion highlighter in C01 Crystal Cold, which is very pretty icy highlighter. I also picked up the Under Eye Brightener setting powder in 010 Light Rose and the Catrice Soft Glam Filter Stick in 010 Fair-Light. I’m not super keen on the powder, but the Soft Glam Filter Stick is nice.

Catrice added three more shades to their line of Space Glam chrome eyeshadows, and I purchased all three. They’re called (from left to right) 040 Stardust, 050 Cosmic Coral, and 060 Galactic Glow. These are great affordable multichrome eyeshadows.

These are the Catrice Kiss & Glow peptide lip tint in C01 Kiss Bomb and plumping lip liner in C01 Kiss Bomb. They’re okay, but not my favourites.

I love these two shades of the Catrice Gel Affair nail lacquers. They’re called 031 Electric Turquoise and 033 You’re The Lime To My Tequila, and I’ve been especially loving the lime one.

Lastly, I picked up two more shades of the NYX Buttermelt blushes. They’re called 09 Feeling Butta and 10 Back And Butta, and they’re darker than the other shades I own.
