Here’s what I wore Saturday March 22. I went on a lunch date with my boyfriend, and I wanted to wear something comfy and casual, but still fun and sparkly.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve been wanting to create a look around the Oden’s Eye multichrome eyeshadow in M012 Leon (the red shimmer) for ages, and this outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. And I had to pair it with the Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipstick in Bloodstone; a lipstick that would be perfect to wear around Christmas time as well.

Here’s what I wore Friday March 21. I picked up this red second hand set back in February, and it gives off late 90’s vibes, so that was my loose inspiration for this look.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Unearthly Cosmetics Menacing Metals lipsticks (which I haven’t hauled yet) are some of the best metallic lipsticks I’ve tried. Just look at this dark purple beauty.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday March 19. I wanted to wear this pretty, purple second hand set again and ended up pairing it with burgundy once more. It’s just such a pretty combo.
This is part 2 of my huge collective haul from January. This part is all about make-up and beauty products. Let’s begin with the products I picked up from Lyko.
I think this Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork VI Freedom palette is absolutely stunning, but so expensive, so when I found it on sale for a pretty good price, I took the plunge and got it.
I also got this Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin 4 Ever Flushes Kit, which includes two full size Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shades Dancing Queen and Spiced Latte and two minis in the shade Red Velvet and Jubilee. I really like this blush formula.
And speaking of blushes, I’d been wanting to try both the Rose Inc Blush Divine radiant lip & cheek color and the Catrice Blush Affair cream & powder palette, so I picked up the shades Hibiscus (Rose Inc) and 010 Stunning Strawberry (Catrice).
We’re not done with blushes yet, because I had been waiting for the Makeup By Mario Soft Pop plumping blush veil shade extension, so I could pick up the shades Strawberry Sunset and Papaya Pop. I kind of want the other shades as well. I also got two of the new shades of the MoistureGlow plumping lip serums; Cherry Glow and Tangerine Glow.
Now let’s move on to the products I got from Magasin (Danish department store). I bought the L’Oréal Lumi Le Liquid Blush in 625 Glowy Gold Pink, the MAC Face Palette x4: Luxe Luck, and the MAC Turquatic fragrance 20 ml. They were all 20% off.
I bought the rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes in S01 Mango Chip and S02 Lychee Chip and the L’Oréal Lumi Le Glow highlighter stick in 630 Glowy Créme Chic from Matas (Danish drugstore). The blushes are very disappointing, but the highlighter stick in pretty.
Lastly, I placed an order from Cosmic Brushes/Beauty and got the The Lovers palette and an eye brush set.
Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 18. After a week of wearing suit inspired looks I wanted to wear something completely different, and I really like how this outfit turned out.

Here’s what I wore Friday March 14. This was a great way to end my short suit inspired week of outfits. It’s such a fun and colourful look, and I love it!
