Purish haul (April 2024)

I have a beauty haul to share with you today. I purchased these products from the German site Purish.

The Lunar Beauty Moonshroom collection is one of the main reasons I made this order. I think this palette is so stunning. I’m wearing it on my eyes here.

I also got the Moonshroom highlighter palette, which is such a stunner as well.

This is the Lethal Cosmetics Mellow Grove palette, which is another palette I had my eye on. I really enjoyed the Lethal Cosmetics Midnight Serenade palette, so I was hoping that this palette would have the same great quality.

From Lethal Cosmetics I also picked up the Magnetic face powder in Pansy and two of the Haze plush lip creams in the shades Leeward and Hydra. I really like the glowy blushes from Lethal Cosmetics, and this Pansy shade is so fun. I haven’t tried the Haze plush lip creams yet.

Lastly, I got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Buddies holiday kit, which includes a mini of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal and the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in the shade It Girl. I already own a full size of the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal, which I love, and I’ve got another shade of the Blurring Balm Powder Flushed blushes, so I knew that they were good. They’re some of the most long lasting cream blushes I’ve tried.

Second hand haul (April 2024)

I’d not been second hand shopping for a really long time (I’m not quite sure why), but earlier this year I started to get back into it, and it’s been a lot of fun. The first two pieces are from an indoors flea market, where the clothes are sold by private sellers, and the rest is from charity shops.

I’d been wanting a thermal one piece for a while to wear outdoors in the winter, and when I saw this colourful, floral one from one of my favourite brands Crás, I just had to have it. It looked like it had never been used.

I also found these acid lime green slacks from Crás with the tags still on, and I have the matching blazer in my closet already.

And now on to the stuff I purchased from charity shops. I’ve been looking for more trousers that fit after I lost the “baby weight”, and I picked up these brown jeans, but they’re actually a little too big on me.

I don’t remember if I’ve ever had a denim vest before, but this oversized one is a fun layering piece.

I want to add more fun blouses to my wardrobe, and I thought this floral one was very pretty.

This is one of my favourite pieces I picked up. It’s such a fun vintage find; it even has a bow on the back.

Leopard print is everywhere, so I loved finding this sheer leopard print shirt second hand.

I’ve already worn this white short sleeve shirt several times. It’s just such a versatile piece.

I don’t wear a lot of cropped tops, but I just loved this pink blouse/shirt.

I also picked up a couple of hats; a soft black-ish baker boy hat and a fun, furry leopard print one.

Lastly, I got this purple, green, and blue patterned tie. I love finding fun, printed second hand ties.

Harvest moon

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette is a very dark, autumnal looking palette, but I thought the colour story matched this outfit so well.

First wedding of the year

Here’s what I wore Saturday May 11. This was my first wedding guest look of the year. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I wasn’t able to bring my camera; it was a long trip with public transportation and I had to travel light. Anyways, I got a lot of compliments on my look, and I really did like this look myself as well.
