Here’s what I wore Thursday October 3. Red and mustard is not a colour combo I’ve played around with much if at all, but maybe there’s something to this ketchup and mustard combo:)

The Oden’s Eye Luminous & Shadow collection launched last autumn, and the collection included an eyeshadow palette, three blushes, and three highlighters. I love Oden’s Eye, so I got them all.
This is the Eternal Twilight palette, which is the biggest palette Oden’s Eye has launched so far. It’s not my favourite colour story the brand has ever done, but I did like the look I created with it.
The Shadows blushers and the Luminous highlighters came in similar packaging to the Solmåne Sunlight Love blushers and their Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters, but in new colours and with new images.
The Shadows blushers are in the shades (from left to right) D101 Glow Powder, S101 Radiant Flame, and S102 Luminous Heat. They’re all very fun and bright.
The Luminous highlighters are in the shades (from left to right) L101 Dim Glow, L102 Subtle Radiance, and L103 Gentle Firefly. It’s really hard to capture the shifts in a picture, but they’re super sparkly and pretty.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You know I love a “blue eyes and red lips” make-up look, and I find this particular version quite flattering.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve never worn a rosewood-coloured mascara before, but I think it kind of works with this look.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday October 1. I had so much fun playing with the juxtaposition of the baggy jeans and the dressed-up and ladylike blazer, hat, and accessories.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love pink eyeshadow, but I rarely go for more muted rosy tones. However, I do think this eye look is quite pretty.

Here’s what I wore Monday September 30. I originally thought that the Adidas skirt would be difficult to style in a lot of different ways, but I think this was the third time I styled it, and this look is definitely different from the first two. I’ve loved all the looks.

The last month of winter has come to an end, and I’m so ready for spring! The weather forecast includes slightly warmer weather next week, which I’m very excited about. Spring is the time for a fresh starts, and I think that is just what I need. But first, let’s say goodbye to winter and talk about some favourites from February (it’s mostly make-up as per usual).
Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer: This primer from Colourpop is fairly new, and it’s a great allround primer. It’s described as a gel cream which is a texture I really like, when it comes to primers, and so far it has worked under every foundation I’ve worn with it.
GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease killer eyeshadow base: From a face primer to an eyeshadow primer. I’ve had this eyeshadow primer/base for about 1,5 years, and I’ve liked it, but I’ve worn it more frequently recently. It’s great underneath pastels and bright eyeshadows.
KVD Beauty Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadows: I’ve actually loved these shadow sticks ever since they launched, and as you can see I’ve collected them all. I’ve been using them a handful of times this past month on days where I had to leave early for work, because they’re quick and easy to apply with a finger, and they’re super pretty and sparkly and long-wearing, as the name suggests.
Lethal Cosmetics Aura multichrome liners: I’ve tried a few different formulas of multichrome eyeliners, but these ones from Lethal Cosmetics are my favourites so far. The colours are beautiful, and they show up quite well in the waterline, which not all multichrome liners do.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (film): I love Bridget Jones! Bridget Jones’s Diary (the first film) is one of those films that I can always watch. I actually feel that way about all the films in this series, and even though this last film is not my most favourite from the series, I enjoyed it very much.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’d been wanting to create another eye look with the Ensley Reign Cosmetics Lands Of Enchantment palette, and it was the perfect palette to wear with this outfit. I never get tired of a purple/blue/green colour story, and this particular palette also has a hint of pink, which I don’t mind at all.
(Base: primer – Glow Recipe Strawberry BHA pore-smooth blur drops, foundation – L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude plumping tinted serum (shade: 0,5-2 Very Light), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + L’Oréal True Match radiant serum concealer (shade: 1N) + L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Tone Up in Rose + e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow setting powder in Light. Face make-up: bronzers + blush – Made By Mitchell Curve Case in Light (shades: Hollo There + Cold Heart), highlighters – Made By Mitchell Blursh Lights liquid highlighter in Clear As Day + Ensley Reign Cosmetics Lands of Enchantment palette (shade: Divine Light – as nose and cupid’s bow highlight). Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 20 Cream + Ensley Reign Cosmetics Lands of Enchantment palette (shades: Atlantis + Edge of Night + Portal + Lemuria + Lunar Light + Moonrise + Light Language), mascara – Kiko Milano Smart Colour mascara in 07 Navy Blue, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell.
